The Contract for Election Supplies.

4 The County Commissioners, at tJieir special session Tuesday, decided *o : accept the bid of Wm. Faulkemer k nf Lafayette, for furnishing election supplies. They are to fnmish bootn^ l ballot boxes, ropes and posts for shu *’ es i railings, tables ket, all complete for th e eighteen election precincts, for* for each precinct, or for s27h for the whole outfit. The booths are 1,0 b® made separate, three for eaefr JP re ' cinct Their frames to be made of

clear ash, and the sides, backs and curtains of good, heavy canvass. The The Faulkemersare to have a representative present at the September meeting, with a full sample set of their election supplies, mid the con* tract is then to be perfected and the necessary bonds be filed. The Faulkemers’ bid was not only the cheapest but the commissioners decided that their outfit was as good if not better, than any others. The making of their booths entirely separate from each other, is an especially good point, as it removes the possibility of any improper communication between occupants of the respec"tlWbOoths, while’ engaged Tirpreparing their ballots for voting.
