liant as those glittering tresses that
adorn the e-ow of winter, and with
heart as pure as dewdrops trembling
in a coronet of yiolets, she viii make

toned harp of marriage, with its
chords of love and devotion and fond
endearments, send forth the sweet
est strains of felicity that ever
thrilled the senses with the rhythmic
pulsing of ecstatic rapture.-Char-

CHANGE IN VOTING PLACE
FOR PRECINCT No. 2

1t has been decided, owing to the
fact that the holding of an election
at the school house results in disturb
ing conditions there, that it would be
best for all concerned to have the
voting place for Mountain Home pre-
cinct No. 2 at some other location.
Accordingly the election place for
this precinct will be in the City
Clerks Office on Nov. instead of at
the school house. 3t2
