Some of her students have been
telling us of Mrs. Hanna’s method
of teaching music lessons on the
cornet, and as our opinion in re
gard to same has been sought, we
take pleisure in asserting that the
method she teaches is the only true
one, and the only one in which a
cornet can be made to produce a
correct tone. Learning the cornet
by ear, will not do. Tunes cap be
played on the cornet in that man
ner, but the instrument will not
chord with piano or organ, or pro
duce sweet, mellow tones, without
correct fingering on the valves.
THE COUNTY ELECTIOW !
Candidates worked like BeaveiMM
Day Long- p[
The election came off on timH
Wednesday, the candidates V
friends were on the groundjAirlyJ
good humor prevailed and
lots began to pour in in
stream.
On Tuesday night a double tick
et fraud was discoverd and the
wires were kept hot all night put
ting all presincts on notice that a
wrong was being perpetrated.
Two tickets had been printed on a
sheet, on one side, and on the back
of that blank ticket [the names of
candidates to be written on it was
a ticket with the names of C. A.
Ward, for representative, D. W.
Gaskin, Clerk, J. C. Gillis, Sheriff,
W. P. Ward, Ordinary, Daniel
Vickers for Collector, and others,
filling out a complete ticket. The
idea was to use these tickets, fill
out one as the voter desired, and
on tearing them a part, a blank
ticket on one side, with the print
ed one as described above was
given the voter, who it was
thought would vote it without dis
covering the fraud. The candi
dates, whose names appeared there
on denied any knowledge of the
affair, but the act, whether they
were innocent or not, did them
harm at first, but later in the day
confidence was restored and things
went along smooth and nice. The
ticket was printed at the Gazette
office, evidently in the iutesest of
Mr. W. P. Ward, but, he claims
we learn, without his knowledge.
Any how it did him more harm
than good.
