J. VI. Armstrong Is42-IsIi

Again the circle Of our older citi.
zens in Dorset has been narrowed BY
the death Of Mr.. John Armstrong
which occurred last Thursday, Oct. Is
The son Of Augustine and Emily
Armstrong and great-grandson of
Jonathan, one Of the early settlers OF
the town, Mr.. Armstrong was born in
the Hollow" March %, 1912, and
with the exception of two or three
years spent as a travelling salesman,
his residence in Dorset was unbroken.
He was married in June, 1878 TO Miss
Ada Holley, daughter of Harvey, and
grand daughter of Justus, who came
TO Dorset before the Revolutionary
War.
In 1873 Mr.. Armstrong bought the
store where, until few weeks ago, he
was almost always to be found, year
in and year out. II is safe to say
that there are few country stores that
surpass in neatness, order and general
attractiveness this of Mr.. Armstrong
"a fact in which we are doubtless to
see Mrs. Armstrong; influence.
Mr.. Armstrong was not outwardly
identified with the church, but he was
always numbered among its support
ers, and served on the committee that
erected our new building. He took an
active interest in matters Of public
concern, which, if not always conspic-
uous, was nevertheless sincere. He
could be counted on for sympathy and
help in every good cause.
The life of every man has two sides,
one visible and known to all, the other
known to but few. 1t was in the
sphere of his home life that Mr.. Arm
strong won the very sincere admira-
ton of the few who knew something
of that life. His untiring devotion to
Mrs. Armstrong through years of al
most constant and often intense suf-
ering is one of those facts which are
good to know and pleasant to remem-
Der. 1t is none too often that we see
a man of sixty and seventy years as
tender and faithful to the wife of his
youth as young lover to the girl he
adores. This page Of Mr. Armstrong;
record is a true poem, not of words
that pass but of ministries that mold
character and so abide.
The sympathy of many friends goes
out to Mrs. Armstrong and will not
fail her in the days to come.

Monday was record breaker in
registering at the court house. There
was constant stream all day long,
and no less than 273 were given Ger.
tificates emitting them to vote at the
August election. There had been S14
at this polling place previous to the
supplemental registration. There has
been pretty good number today who
have had their names enrolled, and it
is not improbable that there will be
1,9O0 or 1,400 registered and enti-
tied to vote at this precinct at the
election two weeks from Thursday.
The books will not close until tomor.
row night at 9 o'clock.
At the depot the registration was
much smaller than expected, as only
about rs had their names enrolled.
This is unusually light.
L Preponderating among those regis

Not all local political interest is
manifested in the contests for county
Offices. The district places are be-
ginning to attract attention. In addi-
tion to the five county Offices to be
filled, the people of the county will
elect eleven constables, one for each
district except the ninth in which two
will be chosen. So far there are no
announced candidates in this dis
trict for constable although there is
usually spirited contest.
There are five members of the
county board Of education to elect,
one from each Of the five school dis
tricts Of the county. So far as known
there are no contests for these,
places. There will also be thirty
members of district advisory boards
to elect, three in each of the ten civil
districts of the county. While no pay
attaches to these jobs sometimes
some of the contests in the districts
are spirited and bitter. Then there
will be a candidate for supreme Judge
to be voted for in the county, max
ing altogether an election of unusual
interest

All present bids for the erection of

were held during a good portion of
the day Friday. The conference start
ed in the morning at 10 o'clock, last

All bids submitted to date were
thought too high. The lowest of
those which were received was $685.

more than the committee and boards
thought ought to be put into a build

All of the gentlemen were opposed
to cutting down the plans and speci-
fications submitted by Mr.. Gardner,

thought that several things might be
cut out that would decrease the cost
OF the building considerably. With
the advice Of Mr.. Harris, Mr.. Gard
