What is ^ ' even more remarkable is the fact that in \ir * * p^^'SaJmost every case the women's defeat was |1 >'tfue to the votes of women. Every wo ' man who failed to get her, name on the ' Women's ticket seems to hare voted against it. So, there! THE young men of to-day should find ^Bome encouragement in the fact that .about 90 percent, of tbe great capitalists 4of tbe present time struggled within the environments of poverty in their early youth. They succeeded because they ,4paid the price of success. They were in- t> ^dustrious and economical, and always / -spent leas than they earned. And success f -Tto-day can be secured in the same way.

OWNERS of lots in the Cemetery, or parties hired to take care of the same, are hereby notified that they must not leave dirt, sand, or rubbish of any kind, lying aronnd in the Cemetery grounds The Trustees are making an effort to keep the groi^pds in a proper and sightly shape, and must insist that their efforts must be seconded in the matter, so far at least as nut to undo what they may do to give the grounds a sightly ap­ pearance.
