Thank You--and Nav
Your New Year
Be Prosperous

To the people of this community-our custom
erS and friends, we extend our sincere ap-:
probation for the confidence and patronage
which has made the past year one of the most
successful in our history.
To have won the faith and approval of the public is indeed
gratifying and we believe is the reward for the concient-
ious progressive merchandising service which this store
day in and day out is striving to give.
This faith and confdencewe treasure as our greatest asset
and it naturally inspires us to do our utmost to attain and
strengthen it.
And as we turn another page in the book of time and
see the New Year bright with opportunities our most
earnest wish is that our neighbors-the people of this
vicinity will share substantially in 1878 happiness and
prosperity.

TO THE VOTERS OF
BINGHAM COUNTY

Fellow Citizens:-Because Of the fact
that constitutional amendments are Of
ten times overlooked at general cleo
ton and thereby the will Of the peo-
pie defeated, we wish to call your at
tention to the amendments coming up
at the present election.
The amendments are printed on pink
paper separate from the political bal
lot and will be handed to you together
with the political ballot. 1t is the duty
of the election officers to require ev-
cry voter to take one of these ballots
and also to return it to the ballot box
when he has finished voting, but the
election judges sometimes overlook this
fact and at many polling places these
amendment ballots are gathered up at
the close of the day and put in ballot
box, whether marked or not. Anyone
entering booth where number of
these are lying might vote them to
suit his pleasure. Therefore, we urge
upon the voters Of this county to vote
the amendment ballot first and hold it
in the left hand while voting the po-
litical ballot and return it to the ballot
box themselves. To vote for the pro-
hibition amendment, known as amend
ment No. 3, put youl cross mark after
the word eyes"
This does not repeal the present pro-
hibition law, but incorporates it into
the constitution Of the state and there
by takes it out Of all politics in the
future.
Yours Respectfully,
NOFEAR DAVIS.
