It was amusing to hear the remarks ot some of these citizens. A- great many of then, de­ claring that they would not vote at all i f They couldn’t get more than fifty cents. One exceller.it result of the luck of money was that there was far less drunkenness on. our' streets than is customary on election days. Many and many a voter making it a point to get drunk on tho money re­ ceived for his vote. It is to he hoped that the day is not far distant when the candidates for office will agree among themselves not to spend any money in t(ie purchase of votes. We believe that it is only in this way that the practice will he stopped. There will always J>be men, low principled enough to sell out as loug ns there are candidates to purchase votes. A law disfranchising every voter who takes money for I ub vote and disqualifying for office every candi date who offers to purchase a vote, might have a salutary, effect, hut wo doubt if even this law, would put uu end .to the unpatriotic practice. sou: and George Winters were in the race for Central committeeman. Win­ ters being elected, J . H. Nesbit had no opposition for delegate to the con­ vention. ■ In the county the main points of contest were the court house question and the nomination for commissioner. Prom the result the county is-in favor of a new court house by a majority of over 900, 3,582 voting yes and 2674, no The race for commissiouer was a most excitiug one, "the result being in doubt until the last precinct was heard from. The fiual result wnfc as follows: Nash, 1,227; Smith. 1,178; Hedges, 923; Haverstick, 866. John B. Lucas was elected infirm­ ary director over John Thomas. For tho rest of the nomination there \wns no opposition. - Although it aoerfWjust a few weeks, a year has elapsed since the present management took charge of the Herald. We entered the business laboring somewhat under the common apprehension that most anyone can run. a newspaper, knowing nothing nt ail of the many arduous duties that we were taking upon ourselves. Whether we have succeeded in meet* ing tho responsibilities devolved upon us, is not for uS‘to say. One thing is sure and that is that we have learned many things of which we were densely ignorant; We have learned that the pi made in a printing office is noth* ing like the article, our mother’s make, .u .J that a form in order to be Safe needs to be securely locked up. The year has had many pleasant features as well ns unpleasant ones. We have received many words of en­ couragement which has been like oil on the troubled waters of our editorial life. The majority of our subscribers have made at least one visit to our office duriug the last year and gave us some financial encourage­ ment, which has done our souls good. A few of our subscribers wo have never had the pleasure of meeting. We feel that it is backwardness on their part. Wo wish to assure them that it isn’t bashfaluess on tho part of tho editors. All in all it has been, a pleasant year, and wo shall use our year’s experience id making tho Herald better in tho future, and a more entertaining visitor in your homes, THE ELECTION* The election here Monday passed off very quietly, tho majority of the offices having only one candidate, consequently very little interest was manifested. There was only one ticket for tho township and corpora tion offices,) those nominated at tho republican primary, being tho only candidates. On the school board three were to be elected and there were sis candidates in the field. The following is the result: Rok rt Grav, 228; lb H. McFar­ land, 10!; 11 P. Kerr, 143; A, % .Bmith, 103; Mis. Josephine Orr, 127; Mrs, H, A. Brothert -n, 81. In the south precinct in the pri­ mary. T. 1) Ambew and W. E. Dean, were candidates for delegate to the congressional convention at Wilmington, and John Bilvey and Charley Marshall, candidate* for central committeeman. T. B.

This is due largely to the fact that they are never neglected. If a hole is discovered the repair is immediately made up by be­ ing filled up with crushed stone. Be­ sides they are always kept clean and the least imperfection can be seen and the remedy applied. The road scraper is frequently used and-, fol­ lowed by nien with Does under the careful direction of the street coin- missioner and when the work is com­ pleted every particle of dirt is piled up, carted away nnd the streets are left clean as the sidewalks. Our city ^council could do nothing better than pattern after Cedarville.—Xenia Herald. Mr. J , N. Wolford had quite a se­ rious accident befall him last Tuesday night, while driving in the vicinity of Clifton.
