The communication Of 'sIndependent." in
reference to the municipal election held in
Westn ter last Monday. was received nt too
iatc NJ hour for its insertion, considering the
| length Of the article. We CLEAN from The COM
inunication the following facts: Two tickets we're
run, ono called the "lndSpcndcnt," with J. II.
Ligon for Intendant, and for Wardens +. A.
Mathesen, Wm. Besl:s, w. j, Stribling and G.
Tins; The other ticket, CALLED the "Dry," with
]. T. King Cor Iu!endant, and T. a. Power,
| VIM. Decks. j. IT. Ligon and A. Zimmerman for
| Wardens. The "Indcpendcnts" were elected,
polling in order 90. 81. 20, 80 and II votes; the
"Dry" polling respectively 10, Is, l6, l6 md
lG votes. Our correspondent states TINT there
wasagood deal of feeling in The election, but
we trust this will soon subside and That our
neighboring town will uni,cdly and harmoniously
| move forward in the walks Of wealth and local
| prosperity. ,b4

largest sale ever made in the county. and to
pay for them will require twelve handled
heavy bales Of cotton, which at fafty dollurs

the chnnty forty'eiSh, thousand dollars or at
fifty dollars yer balc being, 'ea ,cepts Ler
