Important to Voters
of
Albemarle
Did you register for the Bond Election in March? If not, register even though you
have registered before. Otherwise you can't vote in the coming municipal election.
Don't fool yourself into believing that you can vote because you registered two years
ago. The order published by Mayor Groves plainly says, "it is further ordered that
all qualified voters in said town who did not register for the election held on the first
day of March, 1921, for voting on school bonds for said town, be required to register
for said election to be held on the 3rd day of May, 1921, but all other' persons are re
quired to register for said election. This is plain. Register and tell your neighbor
that he must register," provided lie did not register for the March Bond Election,
even though he may have registered two years ago. Don't get the matter balled up.
The City Clerk, R. M. Russell is the man for you to see to get registered. The books
open Friday, April 15th, and close April 23rd. Register before 5 o'clock, P. M. April
22nd.

Christian Europe, civilized Europe,
was late in fulfilling its duty to Chris

she did, and the overthrow of Turkish

as one of the highest accomplishments

Armenia, still bleeding under the
Turkish scimitas, and never to be free
unless Turkey is definitely eliminatsd

The Greek armies fighting in tha

The Turk has fallen, and Greece is
back in her old colonies, in the elites
built by Greeks, in the temples and

the race under both its pagan and
Christian civilization.
t For one thousand years Constanti

and upheld the banner of western cul

the Turk remained in Constantinople

the Greek army and nation, and the

Greek army and nation, and the utter
elimination of the Turk from all now- !

a few politicians, who are ji
the Hellenic triumphs.
It is the time for American en

the dawn of history the battles of out

For five long centuries the Turk has
