Very Slight Vote and Barely -No In
te e-st in Tuesday’s Election
The municipal election held
Tuesday was probably the quiet
est affair of its kind ever held
here.
The first ward voted for S. A.
Ward and Dr. Claudius McGowan
who received seventeen and fif
teen votes respectively. Therej
was no opposition whatever in
this ward.
The second ward selected D 0.
Brinkley and Maurice Puteet,
who each received ten votes. No
one contested their election.
In the third ward, however,
there ware three candidates from
which to select two councilm n,
W. II. Gaylord led with fifty
nine votes, L. A. Peal next with
thirty-two, while L. W. Gurkin
received twenty-nine- The fact
that there Were three aspirants
led to no fight whatever for a
seat in the council room.
Messrs. Brinkley and Gaylord
were members of the board dur
ing the past term. Thomas L.
Smith, who regje.ented the sec
ond ward, failed to^Srmonr.ee
his candidacy for the reason that
he is contemplating lea ing Ply
mouth in the near future aid
did not feel that lie should serve
further, thinking G>;-t il would
better for his .su c-\ o t«. get
into harness us tai l., as possible,
T. C. Burgess and 0. 0. Jacksoi
who served the first ward, die
not become candidates for re
election.
H. V. Austin, candid-.te i<
succeed hiinseii as m ly.or, bac
no opposition. The new board
will probably assume its dufiea
on Friday night of next week.
CANCELLATION OF
MORTGAGES, ETC.
The attention ot the public is
called to the necessity ot can
celling all mortgages, note:-, etc.,
that been paid and are on record
in the office of the register of
deeds. It is distinctly to the ad
vantage of the person who holds
such instruments that they be
cancelled, and is a great aid b
officers in making tax charge,
against such individuals.
This information is given tc
protect the interestof taxpayers
of the county, and if followed
will be for general good.

You are gone but not fo. -, ttc:\
Never shall your menu ry i ide.
Sweetest thoughts shall o ■
Around the grave where you are laid.

A bitter cup; a shock severe
To part with one w-2 l« ve so dear.
Our loss is great; we’ll net complain,
But trust to God to meet again
Sleep on, dear one, and take B y r .st
I We miss you most who loved you best.
I
Gcd 1 ok you home, it was h: - wdl.
But in our hearts ; j'n- in still
But again some time, de; tk-:,miter
When our days of . r.re led,
In Heaven we hope to me it j u
Where no farewell tears are shed
j
Days of darkness still come o er us,
• Tears of sorrow silently f nv,
But fond memory keep- ycu near us,
Tho’ Heaven claimed you eL on ears ago.
