The important thing of the day was the class of men out in the interest of the “dry” cause. The ministers for most of the time were always on the street keeping a keen eye on the situation, Every crook and turn was watched and the reverend gentlemen ryere al­ ways ready to pu t the ir shoulder to the wheel. The weather was rather cold, and windy bu t fair and all the, more work was necessary to keep warm, The subject was fhourghly discussed from every phase and voters were given the cards “How ter vote While the men folks were busy on the streets the ladies held an all day prayer meeting a t the *i. p . church in the -support of the cause. . • There was a full vote out 310 being polled. Of this there were 193 “dry” and 115 “wet” , and 8 ballots, not being marked. The vote three years ago was 219 to 95. •The result had nbt been announced but a few minutes urn* til the entire neighborhood was laware th a t the “drys” had been victorious. The demonstration over the victory ex­ ceeded that of the previous election. Young America was soon out and the night air was made hideous by the shooting of anvils, toiling of the church bells, blowing of the whistles and a hundred and one devices for noise making such as a boy could think of. A large bon fire in the square was the means of the merchants geting rid of their surplus boxes. The IC of P . band came out and took part in th e celebra­ tion and gave each of the ministers a serenade later in the evening. ’ * * '. • ‘ The result of the election was well earned for there was much hard work done for the.eause and i t is predicted th a t in will be more than two years before another election is asked for, for the “wets” faildd to get as many votes.as there were names on the petition. ; CEDAtVILLE* OHIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17 ^ i 9 G§. ‘Tiisi item when nasiked with a n f year *sfc*crip» J is r?st dae aad » prompt teule* | tpcstis earr-cstiyRetired, PBICE $!.G 0 A YEA* .
