nine vacancies.

strong possibility that the total mlgbt

Senator Harding spent election eve
quietly at his home in Marion. Ohio,
while Gov. Cox wound up his cam-

FOR NEW DEEP WELL
The city Monday advertised far bids
from contractors for the sluking of a
deep water well to the Trinity sand,
a depth of about. 2.1100 feet, it was
learned at the City Administrative of-
fh-es Tuesday.
* Tlie matter of drilling such a well
has lieen discussed by the Commission
for some time, after a geological re-
port was received to the effect that
a well to the Trinity sands In the vi-
cinity of Sherman should provide an
abundant supply of pure, potable
water, which would rise to within one
hundred feet or the surface. This
is much higher than the water from
the present Woodbine sands wells
rises, and will therefore, lesson some
ol the cost of pumping. The supply is
expected to be much larger from the
Trinity.
