The Result I'm the County.

The vote of Marion county, as determined
by the canvassers, will be published next
week. Suffice it to say now that Dan Rams
dell, the republican candidate for
county clerk will probably have
majority of 1,500, and that
Piaff republican, has been elected auditor,
Elan and Pressly are also elected, their re-
spective msjorities being from 800 to 500
The race between Judges Holman. Newcomb
and Howe for the superior court ldgeships,
long term, is so close that it will not be de.
cided until the official count is made
Loftin is elected over Schooley, and Bus
kinks election as criminal court judge is
very probable.

Somebody says that the woman who runs
into a neighbor's because it thunders, and
screams at every fash, will. when she goes
