The Town election held .Tues day was a very7 quiet one, interest in the election centered in the result of the bond issue, there was hardly any 3oubt about that after, 9 o'clock in the morning, as those favoring thejmeasure were far in the lead. The vote stood at the close of the polls as follows; For boritis, 108; against bonds, 15; registered and not voting either vay 28,' giving a clear mejority for the bonds of the registered vote 65. We believe this is the greatest day Roxborohas ever had, and it is the beginning of a new erea, to which we may always look back to with pride. Now let our new board of Com- missioners take up the matter of selling these bonds as early as pos sible, and in the mean time get esti mates and p'ans for the building so that there slkll be no delay in get tiugthe work started. We should have this building by the first of November. If we could get it soon er it.would be better; . ' The election oflTown officers re-v suited as follows; For Mayor, Dr; i jO. P. Schaub.
