whelming majority, having now a ma
jority of something over 800, and three
or four districts yet to hear from.
But the most exciting race Is that of
Sheriff. Mr.. Garrison, Conservative,
is just ahead Mr.. Witt, (Radical),
right at his heeLs;n Mr.. Renfro, (Con-
servative), keeping up the rear as
close as you eper sdtO, too close to be
pleasant to the other gentlemen, with
these three or four districts to hear
from.
Among the other candidates the
probable results stand about thus:
Mr.. Small, Rep, will be elected by
small majority rs Tax Collector; Mr..
Lowery, Rep, is probably elected
Trustee, and L will not guess at who
will get the Registers place.
We had quite number of candidates
out to fill the various offices OF consta.
BILE, justice of the peace, school COM
missioner and fully as many kinds OF
men to fill the places. But whether
our new court house has created such
a conglomeration or whether the late
comet has scared the people into this,
or whether the people have just con.
cluded to vote as they please, L shall
not undertake to say. A CITIZEN.
