THE VOTE In ST. J.

1t was nearly midnight when the
tellers at the local polling place had
completed the count of votes follow
ing the turn of the ballot box at the
first Vermont primary election, Tues
day night. The delay in the counting
was due mostly to misunderstanding
as to marking ballots on the part of
the voters. About 55 ballots were
thrown out on the county vote on ac-
count of defective marking, and also
some on the state ticket, but these
were not so man.. Many ballots
were thrown out in cases where there
were three names for a county office
and two were to be elected out of the
three. In many of these instances
the entire three names would have a
cross opposite them. On some Of
these ballots it was possible to save
portions Of the names where it
was unmistakable that the voter
meant to vote a straight ticket, while
on others it was necessary to throw
out the entire ballot
These mistakes made it more diff
cut for the tellers as the ballots were
gone over with more care and many
more times. The final count was
completed about 11.30.

FROM SORENESS
BOYS ON. THE BORDER RELIEy-
ED THEIR PAINS AND ACHES
WITH SLOAN's LINIMENT.

Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at
FL Paso; returned to camp after a
strenuous 15-mile hike foot-sore and
leg weary. He had not been long in
active service and his shoulders, back
and limbs felt the after effects Of
marching.
Remembering Sloan's Liniment,
Jones applied it to the sore spots and
went to bed. He writes: Il arose the
next morning feeling fire; in fact
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for a four hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever"
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many boy on the border
relieved the agony Of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites, cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, etc, by the use Of
Sloan's Liniment.
Easily applied without rubbing. At

4 LIFE SKETCH OF
A. 4. SHEFFIELD

The funeral of A. A. Sheffield. who
died from apopiexy while at work
with some associates harvesting al
falfa in field on North Tenth street
one day last week. was held at the
family home. us Glover st, Saturday.
The service was conducted by Rev.
A. L. Chase. who said In the course
of his remarks at that time:
Nature has her times and seasons
in regular order and succession. and
We know what to expect and when.
Death has all seasons for IL own. In
fancy. childhood. youth. age. equally
become its prey. Death is the most
uncertain OF certainties. How fire.
quently IL is unexpected. giving no
premonition or warning.
In the sudden going away of brother
Sheffield there is brought home to
Us the truth OF the Scripture. ''in such
an hour as ye think not" and "Ye
know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the SON OF man cometh," We
are forcibly reminded again that our
lives are in Gods hands. We did not
choose to como into this world and We
do not determine when We shall leave
IL.
The deceased was born in Wisconsin
March %. 1888. and on June 10. 1915.
while engaged at work in the field.
passed on to the great majority on the
other side. The early years OF his
life were spent in Wisconsin. Iowa and
Nebraska.
He was married In Omaha thirty
one years ago. Six children blessed
this union. Four sons and two daugh-
ters. one daughter dying in Infancy.
In his own immediate family he 10 sur

He was hard working man with both

and exceedingly thoughtful for his
