Municipal Ticket To Be Chosen.

Now that the people have decided In
favor of a municipal form of govern
ment, plans are being perfected to
hold a citizens meeting, or conven-
ton for the purpose of nominating
ticket to be voted for at the election
in August to guide the destinies of the
baby town of Maryland. The places
to be filled at the election will be the
mayor and five councilmen.
Those having charge of these ar
rangements are going about their bus
mess in methodical manner and take
their duties seriously, as they should,
for while Mountain Lake Park is a
small community yet its proper gov
eminent is just as important to the
people who make their homes here and
to those owning property here as
though it were many times it's present
size. We have no doubt but that the
best men for the respective positions
will be selected at the convention.
Who may be candidates and who may
be chosen we have no intimation, al
! though several have been mentioned
in a general way. The proper selec-
ton is important, as on this first Off
cial family will devolve the duty,
among others, of drafting the ordi-
nances and bylaws under which the
town will operate.

more are expected for the weekend.
While frequent showers somewhat
marred the pleasure the first days of
the conference, yet the delegates con-
slider the rains as a blessing to the
farmers second to their enjoyment,
and do not let them damper their en-
| thusiasm.
