The election for officers that took place
during recent meeting Of the E. s, and L,
s., of this city, resulted as follows: Presi-
dent A. s. Robinson Vice President,
Miss Mole Riley Secretary, George s.
Fisher; Assistant Secretary, Miss Jennie
Mckenzie, and Treasurer, Thomas Morgan.
BY the election of Mr.. Jack Hodges
the people have secured in our sheriff 3 and
collectors office man who knows what to
do and how to do it. His experience dur
ing the past two years has familiarized him
with all the requirements of both positions,
and, possessing the required courage and
industry, he will fiji the post in manner
that will not fail TO be acceptable to the
people.
The election Of Mr. John Hodges to the
office Of sheriff, in this county, by large
and very decided majority, is a high com
pliment to him, and one that he will not
fail to appreciate, His opponent, Capt,

one of the candidates for county office.
Sleep and food with him, during the past
ten days, we're superhuities with which he
had nothing to do. On his feet or in the
saddle eighteen hours out Of the twenty
four, he appeared to have no need for rest,
and now that the canvass is over, he is as
sound as dollar. When he ''goes for a
thing" he believes in going for il with his
whole heart and soul, and his triumphant
election shows that he understood the value

The voters Of Santa Fe precinct are
good men, of average intelligence, but the
men whom they constitute judges and
clerks of election, do not always agree as
to the qualification of voters and the form
of election returns. When Mr. Hodges
was candidate against Joel G. Morgan, he
lost the vote Of the whole precinct because
Of some iniormality in the returns. On
Tuesday difference is said to have arisen
