Over at Tim Corbett’s where the vital issues of the day are always decided long before the vote is announced, and where the verdict is usually correct, the boys are at a loss for a pood subject. Football does not seem to create the right amount of interest and the result of a local option election is about the only thing that will start a good argument. I The results on tbe various township elections over the county have never been announced in this paper, because they are reported only to the township trustee, not to any of the county officers here and this makes it almost impossible to secure the vote over the county as they are not sent in. We will be glad to publish the report from any township, if some one will kindly send them In. Our understanding is that the democratic trustees were successful in all townships excepting St. Marys and Washington, and the assessors in all townships but St. Marys and Preble, the vote in the latter township being a tie, which so fa r as we can learn, has not been decided.
