be on the best behavior and as the
afternoon waned began to break oft'
to their homes, as all well regulated
people always do.
The last primary election was the
quietest one ever held in the State,

You’re wise if you have an Insurance 'Policy safe and sure. If you
have not, you run a good deal of risk. The excessive heat, storms
