three months at the Monarch mine
on Palmer creek, arrived home We'd

considerable. This property, although
some OF the ore runs as high as 5000

In Memoriiam

In loving remembrance of Sherman
Moore, who departed this life two
years ago, Nov. s, 1917.
Two years have past, our hearts are
sore,
As time flies On we miss you more.
Sleep on, and sweet may be thy rest,
The parting was painful, but God
knoWeth best.
Into sweet rest he has entered,
No more to grieve or to weep;
He is smiling upon us from heaven,
Our darling has fallen asleep.
Friends may think we will soon for
get him,
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
Loved in life; in death, remem-
bered
By his aunts, Mrs. Nettie Sharman.
and Mrs. Charles Marshall.

LIGHT VOTE P0LLED
THROUGH The COUNTY
Appearances Indicate Election of The
Entire Democratic Ticket-Vole
Will Probably be The Lightest in
The County For Years.

With every indication pointing to
an exceedingly light vote throughout
the entire county, Observation-Disclosures
are claiming that every candidate up
on their ticket has been elected by
substantial majorities. This conclu-
sion they state is reached as the re-
suit of the careful poll of the vote
that had been cast up until three
o'clock in the afternoon, instructions
having been given to the district and
precinct workers to carefully ascer-
tain in what proportion the vote was
being cast.
Reports from most sections of the
county showed that only a fair vote
was being polled, although in some
sections the vote exceeded the eX-
pectations of the workers. In Cam
bridge at half-past two o'clock only
253 votes had been cast out of reg
istered vote of 500, in the first pre-
cinct In the second precinct. whics
is known as the colored precinct, at
that time only $50 votes had been
cast out of a total Of about 625. In
the fourth precinct. known as the
West End precinct, 341 votes out OF
SO registered had been cast
