E. Conoly, who has been a merchant here for many years and a, former mayor, suffered a stroke at his home Sunday night and is reported to be seriously ill, although he was reported to be slightly improved yesterday. ^0 ' HORNER TO SPEAK HERE TOMORROW Candidate-for - Congress Bill Horner of Sanford, will be at the courthouse here tomorrow night at eight o’clck with his “Moun tain Dudes” band".

Rowland, chairman of the county board of elections, had heard from registrars in all the county’s 10 precincts but Blue Springs yesterday regarding the new registration for voters in the county which ended last Saturday. In the nine reported a total of 2349 voters had registered. A rough approximation, based on registration in ot^er precihcts in the county, would indicate that there would be something close to 185 registered in Blue Springs township. This' figure would raise the county total of register ed voters who can vote in the pri mary nay IT to UM. In IMI, there were 1876 votes east In the county In the May primary. There would, therefore, have to be about 1000 voters staying away from the polls May 27 for the county not to better the 1948 figure.
