passed off v°ry quietly but with
a great deal of interest. The re

Sheldon Franklin is almost u
nanimously dry so the whiskey
men requested the board when
calling the election to leave
Franklin out entirely com
sel the lower valley peosle about
Sheldon to come to Duncan to
vote which was promptly done
with the result that the v present
board of supervisors will lose a
large number of good prohibit
ion votes at the next general
election. —Duncan Correspond
