Little Jones is redeemed, and she sends greeting

The little diamond of the desert - shines with new

c. B. Wood d., $50, Green, W., 621, Pearce, w.,
6oe. Messrs. Washington, Russell and Wood
elected. Craven gives Reid 169 gain, and has elect
ed two Democratic Commoners, being gain of
one. The Democrats of Craven have acquitted
themselves with much credit.
MOORE.
The Democrats of Moore have performed their
whole duty in the contest-they have elected a
Democratic Commoner by handsome majority,
and given Reid a gain of Ill votes. If certain
Counties which are Democ' attic by hundreds had
done half so WELL We should not now be in doubt
as to the complexion of the Legislature. Senator,
Angus R. Kelly, W., $50, Archd. MKeithan, d.,
31l; Commons, William Barret, d., 626, DR.. Hec-
ter Turner, W., 500. Montgomery votes with
Moore for Senator. Mr. Kelley no doubt elected.
1t is due to Mr. McKeithan to state that he was not
a candidate, and was voted for by the Democrats
without any solicitation on his part to do so. A
friend writes as follows:
"The election of the Democratic Commoner in
Moore is truly triumph, for ours was not the talking
candidate. Mr. Barret is plain farmer. man of
good sense, of discriminating mind, highly respecta
bic, and sound Republican as lives. He is the
eldest of Maj William Barrst, Of the heroes
of the Revolution, who in his day represented Moore
in the House of Commons
STOKES AND FORSYTH.
We regret to state that the Democrats have lost
a Commoner in these Counties. Senate, Philip
Barrow, d., 564, J. NJ. Covington, W., 5ss; Com
mons Jesse A. Waugh, d., 1919, Henry Marshall,
d. 1892, James E. Matthews, w., 1880, J. F. Hill,
d., 1245, c. E. Shober, W., 1245, H. Carroll, w.,
1l63. Messrs. Barrow, Waugh, Marshall, and
Matthews elected. Messs. Barrow and Waugh
especially singled out for attack by the Green's
borough Patriot and others, but the honest and
sterling people of Forsythe and Stokes, whom they
have heretofore served so faithfully stood by them,
and they have triumphed. Col. Marshall, though
not foremost onthe ticket is still pretty well up,
and polls the safest sort of vote; and Mr.. Hill,
though defeated this time is a young man, and can
bear it much better than his party can. His de-
feat, we are sure, will only serve to strengthen him
in his purposes as good and true Democrat, and
to stimulate him to renewed efforts in our noble
cause.

position Commons, Alfred M. Scales, Jr, d., ss7,

Free Suffrage bill at the last session. came out
