WILL YOTE ON DISPENSARY . QUESTION. ] 1 Petitions containing upward of 1,500 ^ I signatures, have been filed with the. 1 cnnorvionr aclrinp- him to OrdeTll vuuaij oupvt ?iuv*t an election on the question of dispensary or no dispensary. There ia ] scarcely any doubt but that an elec- < tion will'be ordered, as there are about < three times as many signatures to the petitions as there are registered 1 voters in the county. If an election 1 Is ordered it will be held in November at the same time that the general election is held. The advocates of 'dispensaries 1n Chesterfield County feel confident that the voters will vote them back in the' county but it is hard for us to even' think that it is possible that the good people of Chesterfield County have so far forgotten the situation under the dispensary reign as to for one moment they^wMl. for a return of ^^Hnspensaries.
