HOW TO VOTE The new election law is not thoroughly understood by very many, and the ques- tion of how the voting will be dona is still Homowbut of a puzzle. In order to make thia point clear we will give an example, fivery elector has two voles, and theao Toti-H may be Ciist for one man by mak- ing two croHHCH opjHwite the name of the 'oandidato so f.ivoroil. Or if you wish to vota for two men, make your cross oppo- site each of the two namus. . For in- stance here in the f>>rm of a Utljot in which the elector baa cast two votea for one candidate, allowing where the cruases should be placc<l : >ij : = 5 Hezekiith Jonea i I John Jaooba X X Ephraim Tooter Then the following is a form of ballot where the voter han voted for two candi- dates : 1 p Uezekiah Jonea X 1 John Jacobs X j Ephraim Tooter Keeping these facts in mind, go to the Tolling nooth, take your ballot andniark. St for either one or two men, according to jour inclination, and you can make no niiataka. A Word of Farewell fV> the EiUor of 'I he Advance. Deab SiB,--Afier spending eleven yeaia as principal of tha Heaht-rtoii public school, it would seem ungrateful to sever my connoctien without exprosa- ilig my appreciotion of the in»ny acts of kindness I have reo< ived from the people here. It is true that oirciimHtancea have oc- oui-rsd, circuinatancoH beyond the control ot human power, that must ever mar the recollections of the post. It is true there weio tiniBH when it was utterly iinpos- sible U) give that conoentMtion of mental cnjrgy i would like to have given in my work. It is true that ()rogres8, such as I most heaitily desire, has not been made iQ .Bvory direction, yet to mq it is strati- fying to feel that there was always a gradual development, therasultaof which Sm fvturo only o«n rev«al ; an4 now that the rein* of govern nient are to be placed in other hands, I bespeak for my aucces- •or your hearty sympathy and earmest co- â- iperation. As jiarents, do not for«et that yon have • duty to perform as well as the teacher, and to get the best results you luuat work hand in hand with him, and by an earnest, aympathetic and harmoni- ous cooperation you will assist in laying in the hearts and minds of your children the fundamental -principle* that will soon affect the natii'Dal life and character of this country. " Children are the to- morrow of society," has been truly said. Trusting that the children of Flesher- ton may develop into men and women of principle; integrity and uprightness of eliaracter, and that many of them may have their names emblazoned on the pages of our country's history, I wish you every success.
