West Liberty street, Yorkvile, would
be very unwise.
The cOlorcd baseball team of York
vile lost to team from Lexington, y.
c., yesterday afternoon on the cOlOrcd
baseball diamond here, TO 1. The
two teams play again this afternoon.
The statement in the last issue Of
The YOrkville Enquirer that Mr.. Il. B.
HOugh had purchased the w. G. Brown
corn mill to the rear of the post office
was incorrect. Mr. Hough's mill is on
the lot opposite the post office and Mr..
Brown continues ut the old stand.
In behalf of hundreds who know it
from experience and who think that 1t
is nothing but right to recognize the
fact, The Yorkville Enquirer bcgs to
state that YOrkville has the most ac-
cOmmOdatng and efficient postmaster
ever.

to the town along with the SIS.
Your Communication street taY is
now due and you will do well to look
after il before the penalty attaches.
If you have passed So years of age you
are not liable; but you've got to look
after that yourself. 1t is no business
Of Treasurer Faulkner il you go ahead
and pay him regardless of your liabil-
ity. He has no way of knowing un-
less you tell him.
- Whether the second municipal cleo
s.,,, H.. l>,1l 4 u -
Thursday, June 20, will be as hotly
contested as was the first election on
Wednesday of last week, is a question
over which there is much debate LEGAL
ly. In Ward /, the candidates, J. NJ.
Brian and J. G.. Dickson, tied with 81
votes each. In Ward 2, the candidates,
Quinn Wallace and Dr. John l. Barron,
tied with 50 votes each, and in Ward
6 there was no election because there
were 81 votes cast in the ward, while
only 81 persons had registered to vote
and 80 of these voted. Street talk
prior to the first election and since is
that most Of the opponents of the pres
ent administration were after Alder
men Wallace and Carroll especially
and there are many who think that the
chase will be continued while others
think it will not be.

time the books close prior to the first
