The state election will be held next Tuesday The polls will be open from 6 a. m. to D. m. A special town meet ing will be held at D. m. the same day. There are two articles in the warning to be voted upon. The first is to see if the town will authorize the selectmen to borrow money to pay the current expenses. The second is to vote upon the time of opening and closing the polls at future state cleo tiOns.
 The town meetings for the election of state and U. s. officers used to be called Freeman's Meeting. There was never a year when that meeting was of more vital importance than now and every voter who has the best interests of the nation at heart should welcome the privilege to assist in making this dry country and dry Wilmington. The candidates are making an enjoya- ble lunch a feature of the election that, with the women voters out and pleasant weather, will make an event. full and memorable community day.
 Particular attention is asked for the following item that is of consequence to all: It was decided on Sunday morning at the services of the Feder- ated church at South Wilmington and on the Hill to discontinue afternoon services and to hold services in both churches in the morning with the fol- lowing program: At 10 o'clock, preaching service at Memorial church, South Wilmington with Sunday school at eleven o'clock. Preaching at II 30 a. m. on the Hill, where the Sunday school will be previous to the service at 10.3O. The pastor hopes that this plan will be sustained with a good spirit and that the people generally will make an effort to attend both the Sunday school and the preaching ser vice.
 Miss Florence POutrey, "Flossie," as she is recalled here, has been the guest of her father, Samuel Poutrey, and Mrs. Poutrey. Miss POutrey holds an unusual and important government position as the assistant of her uncle, Louis Poutrey, keeper of the StOning- ton Lighthouse. She is absolutely fearless, understands all the require ments of the position and passes many hours alone in the interesting lookout room that she loves, scanning the sea and the sky until her mind is stored with lore that to most of the world is mystery. We hope she keeps a journal and know she might write wonderful tales of her experience for all the world to read. We trust as she reads this in The Press, she may find it suggestive.
