The last legislature made several changes in the election laws of this state, among them being the “eight o’clock closing law.” Under the law now the polls are to be opened at eight o'clock in the morning and to re main open until eight o'clock in the evening. This applies to both the pri mary and the general elections. An other important feature of the amended law is that, even when the hour for closing the polls arrives that all those who are in the booths, or those who are already in line await ing to enter the booths must be per mitted to cast their ballots, but those arriving after eight o'clock, although the polls are not yet closed, will not be permitted to cast their ballots. An other alteration is that the square in which the “X” is placed has been changed to the outer or left hand margin of the ballot. The law now does not require the rotating of can didates names in counties of less than 50.000 population. And an alter ation that will affect all defeated candidates prohibits a defeated can didate from becoming a candidate for the same office by petition following his defeat for nomination .at the pri mary election. Horse Sense. A horse that refrains from eating is using the horse sense method of curing itself of some intestinal trouble. Nature sometimes fails, so take no chances but go to the aid of nature as soon as you see something wrong with your horse and give it a dose or two of B. A. Thomas Stock Remedy. If it does not respond at once, this medicine costs you nothing and its just as sure with cows or sheep. We give you your money back.—J. J. Slominski. Eggs For Hatching. Pure Barred Rock eggs.—R. L.

We extend our kindest sym pathies to the bereaved relatives. Again spring is here with all its glory, clamor and liveliness. Every one is out with a hoe, spade or rake cleaning up the yards and making gar den. In most large cities they have clean-up days, when everybody takes a hand in making the city beautiful by burning up and destroying all the old rubbish and paper that lies about on the streets, in the alleys and in the back yards. I wonder if Rockville couldn’t make every day a clean-up day and thereby keep the streets and alleys clean as we are sure that this is always a credit to a town when all the streets and alleys, are clean and look very trim and neat. ; DAVIS CREEK NEWS Waiter Palu was in Ashton one day ! last week.
