Here is the nub of a great idea. If all those who have beaten the railroads in the past fifty years will proceed to contribute to the conscience fund, the present stringency being experienced by the railroads will be considerably relieved. — Exchange. * * * * Even the staid old cut-and-dried election routine has its sensational side. Clerks in Middlesex were obliged Tuesday to count the ballot of a man whose death notice appeared in the papers of the same day. El- nathan Meade, 93, native of the little farming settlement, died in Battle Creek, Michigan, Monday night and one of the last acts of his career on Monday was to mail his absentee bal lot to his “ hometown ” voting place. The ballot of the man who had pass ed on thus was among the absentees counted in Tuesday ’ s election. A Civil War veteran, he also was known as the “ man with a hole through his head, ” due to the fact that in the Bat tle of the Wilderness he was the vic tim of a minnie ball which passed through his head, entering near the left eye, emerging in front of his right eye. — Penn Yan Democrat. * * * » A movement is under way local ly sponsored by the Wayland credit j bureau, for arranging for street light- , ing and decorations for the holiday season.
