YAZOO COUNTY
It will re seen by the election returns pub
lished above, that we have carried our county |
by reduced majority. This is easily account |
ed for by the grea, namber 81 imported voters
that the Democrats had to help them. Indeed
II was at one time thought that they would
bring in four hundred. We cannot tell yet how
many they had, but we know that the American
strength at this box is the sams asi it was last
year and yet our majority is reduced one hun
drec and twelve. We give below Lakes and
singetons vote Of last year and compare it
with the vote Of this year. Last year Lakes
vote stood w sffops 352,
Singleton,s ftaa { l43.
This year the American vote Is s54 and the
Democratic AL. So the Americans have held
their own at this box, willie at Satartia we
have gained on them from last year thirty-six
votes. At Benton last year the majority was
ten for the Americana aud this year the Demo
Gratis have carried II by nine, gaining on US nine
teen votes. We have been told that more than
thirty wagcners from the upper counties voted
the Buchanan ticket in Benton How many
voted here we do not yet know. but will publish
the names Of, the imported ,yoiers as soon as
they are furnished US from the different boxes.
We presume our real majority in Yazoo now is
two hundred. Some old line wings are panied

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE-A patent has beel
recently granted to Mr.. ALRRo, OF Bury bamplail
n. j., for culinary contrivance for cooking with
out 6re. The required caloro Is generated by IL
employment Of lime and WAFER. Between thes
two substances there is strong chemical affinity
and when they are brought in contact In the prop
CT proportions, they units with such rapidity an
energy as to deyelopv an intense heat. NodecoH

thus heat is prodced without combustion. III
