It will be only a few days now
until the Census takers will close
their work. Well, get in line and
have yourself enumerated. You
can be of assistance to the census
takers if you will. If you know
of any one who has been over
looked, or who may have forgotten
it, just call their attention to it,
that their names may go in the
statistics. Some times men forget
to vote if their attention is not
called to it.
