more, the election commissioners of
Holmes county, had meeting Monday
and appointed the election officers to con-
duct the special election to be held on
Tuesday, March 16, 1920, to select a sue
cessor to Judge H. H. Elmore, resigned,
as Judge Of this circuit court district.
Election officers have at times been very
remiss in their duties, of taking out and
bringing in the ballot boxes and making
prompt returns The officers appointed
on this occasion are expected to promptly
attend to the duties entrusted to them.
The people will watch them and any re-
missness will be recorded and remembered
against them. Let US not have any re-
currence of the experience of the late
chancellor election, in which two pre-
cincts failed entirely to hold an election,
and from others returns were not received
for a whole week Elections are import
ant matters and should be treated as such
by all citizens. The list of officers Is
given below:
