Much interest has been manifested
in the recent contested election case
filed by P. f. Marshall against John
w. Thomas for the Office of County
Court Clerk. Marshall was the in
cumbent and was defeated by Thomas
Republican, by a majority of thirty
votes on the face of the:returns. Mar.
shall sought recount and KJudg
Thurman, of the Circuit Court decid-
ed that sufficient irregularities were
proven to Justify recount in the up
per Brush and the North Greensburg
precincts. On recount of the bal
lots in these precincts, Marshall gain
ed enough voteslto give him major
ity of four. The contestee, Thomas,
has filed an amended answer, charg.
ing that the ballot boxes were in the
custody of Marshall who was then
County Clerk, from the date of the
election, Novemberl4, to November Is
when they were placed in the vaults
of the Greensburg Deposit Bank. He
alleges in his amended answer that
the ballots just counted by the court
are not the same ballots that were
counted and certified to by the cleo
tion officers the night ofithe election.
The court withheld its judgment and
a special term of the court was called
for April % to try out the issue raised
in the amended answer.

That Dinner.

In the absence Of old DR.. Jones
whiskey at that great dinner spoken
of by our dear Brother and valued
Rowe's X Roads correspondent, the
presumption is that Bro. Hadley did
not become (intozicated) but did the
next worse thing, and we hereby re-
quest Bro. James Mckinley to send
the writer by parcel post, one nail
from the great toe of the left (hind)
no hand foot, which may be found at
Needmore No., 2. We think it would
make nice souvenir and bring good
luck. Ut. Jones,

Stand by Your Home Town.

To further the interests Of the town
in which you live, it is necessary to
vie with one another in all public en-
terpriseS and lay aside any envious
feelings that may creep into your ma
ture. Don't ''knock" your neighbor
because that by hard work and econ
omy he has accumulated few more
dollars than you possess, but rather
admire and encourage the example,
to follow which, you might greatly
better your own condition. There is
little something that every one can
do that will add not only to the per-
sonal welfare of the individual, but
prove help to the community at
large. With an eye ever to self
preservation, one of the first laws of
nature, then let US reach out to our
helping hand that he may
tide over any reverses that he may en-
counter either in a business or social
way.-EX.
