The fact that ballots could be had
several days before election day by
voters and taken home and marked,
and that old and physically disabled
voters, through the courtesy of po-
litical workers and notary publics,
were allowed to vote at home, Won
derfully expedited the taking of
the vote here on Tuesday. There
were 1916 voters registered in this
district, and because of the above
mentioned helps, the entire vote was
casL without last-minute confusion,
that blighted the day two years ago,
Through a "key" book prepared by
]. C. Lank, voters here were record
ed at the rate of four or five a min
ute, whereby the use of just the reg
istration books it would have requir-
ed considerable more time, and pos
sibly many voters would have been
unable to get to the polling place
before its close. Only young and
active men were in the election
room and very little delay was ex-
perienced.
If an abundant crop of persim-
ons is any indication, as some old
timers say, this will be a most Sc
we're winter. The trees are heavily
loaded and the recent heavy frosts
have ripened them and they are
now palatble. Another sign, ac-
cording to the weather wise, is
prevalent in that there is a tre-
mendous crop of black walnuts in
this section.
Late white potatoes have been
harvested and those planted early |
have produced we'll, while the later |
planted crops are almost a total |
failure, being small and undeveloped |
because of several reasons. While |
a number of growers sold direct |
from the fields, many are putting
them in outdoor kilns, waiting for
better prices. This was done last |
year and the growers were heavy |
losers as the price failed to advance, |
rather lowered, and many hundred |
of bushels were fed to cattle or
dumped in the woods, there being |
no market for them.
