While it is almost a foregone
conclusion that the election will be
carried for issuing bonds, yet it
will be to the interest of the town
to roll up as big a majority as possible.
The bigger the vote for
issuing the bonds the more advantageously
they can be disposed
of.
Parents, remember: W hen you cast
your vote for the bond issue you
say in effect that you want to give
your child the advantage of an
oducation at home. If you vote
"No," you place yourself on record
as opposing your child's best interests.
Actions speak louder than
words.

The defendant's counsel were
Capt John A Kelley and LeRoy
Lee, Esq., who stubbornly contested
every inch of ground for their client.
The solicitor was ably assisted bv
Hon W L Bas". The four arguments
made in this case were
listened to by a crowded court-room
and the auditors were amply repaid
for their attention, for the speeches
were of an unusually high order and
elicited much favorable comment.
After the closing argument of the
solicitor the jury was dismissed until
Saturday morning when court
re-convened and Judge Gage delivered
his charge. It is said by many
listeners that this was the ablest
i charge that has been heard from the
from the bench at this place in
many a year. It was teise, clearcut
and comprehensive. The jury
came out at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon
