Honestly now, it is the opinion of this writer that if tht? people of Williamsburg could compare The Record with all * the other county papers oi I the country, they would feeJ P that glow of satisfaction and commendable pride that comes tp from the realization of the fact, and if is a fact, that old Williamsburg, in The County : ' Record, has one of the best, most reliable, fullest and most interesting weeklies to be found anywhere.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION A Light Vote Polled and the New Charter Proposition Unanimously Carried. The municipal election was held on Monday, the 11th inst., and the nominees of the primary were elected for the ensuing term, as follows: Intendant, C VV Stoll; wardens, M A Ross. L W Gilland, R J Kirk and J N Hammet. The question of surrendering the old charter in order to get a new one under the general law governing the Incorporation of towns of more than 1000 population and less than 5000, was carried unanimously. The vote cast was surprisingly small, onl}* nineteen votes being polled. The proposed new charter will give larger powers to the town council in the way of levying taxes, which will increase the revenues thus derived sufficiently to meet demands of our town, now fairly launched on the wave s\f frrAtrfh nn/1 nrnc.

Death oi iMr-c;. >inith Died <>n Sunday, Septem'.k-r Id, her ii.'i'.iH1 ai Bloominjjfvale, Mrs Maj^ie Smith, \\ il'e of ('apt Ben S Smith. Mrs Smith was stricken down suddenly, her death beinjf due to heart failure. Besides her bereaved husband, she is survived by four children, all of whom are yrown and married. Mrs Smith will be missed n the community in winch she lived, as she was a kind neighbor and ever ready to render aid and sympathy to those in need of it. But it is in the home cir cle that the saddest blow will fall, for she was in the truest sense a helpmeet to her lwisband, and in the training of l\r children her tine tact and \ound judgment took practical form. Attended by a large concourse of loving friends, all of whom felt in her death a personal loss, she was laid to rest at the family burying ground on Tuesday after her death. We extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of the departed one, for we knew her well and helc- her in hignest esteem. GIVEN UP TO DIE. K Spiegel, 1204 N.

The remains of Mr Franklin M Boyd, who died at his home near Trio on Monday night, the 11th inst., were brought here yesterday afternoon and interred in the Williamsburg cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev E E Ervin, the pastor of the Presbyterian church. Mr Boyd was one of the patriarchs of the county, being about 81 years of age. A man of sterling integrity and up? right character he was a fair type of the sturdy pioneer, whose strong" arm and indomitable energy laid the foundation for the material progress which our county is now achieving. He leaves a wife and four children, two daughters and two sons, besides a large circle of other kindred who mourn the demise of their oldest relative. CURED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE Geo A Sherman, Lisbon Red Mills, Lawrence Co., N.
