Village Clerk Dewitt spent an
uncomfortable hour or two one day
last week. County Clerk Mccoy,
after waiting a reasonable time after
election day and not having the
Montfort returns in evidence, phoned
Dewitt about them. Our clerk was
SO excited he couldn't give any light
or the matter, so boarded the train
and went to Lancaster. He had sent
the returns alright, as BELTS the good
clerk that he is, but the whole
trouble lay in the envelope. Not
having at hand an envelope large
enough to enclose the returns Tues
day night, Dewitt borrowed large
envelope bearing fam
ing advertisement of bunion cure, |
sheep dip, automobile or something
equally as DISTINGUISHING and useless
to the county clerk, who laid the
letter aside, unopened. They found it
among discarded papers in the office,
and Gurley has concluded that mixing
an advertising campaign with official
busine SIS is not good policy. Mont
