n movement was inauguraled yesler-
day morning looking TO restoration Of
the town government, which has been de-
funct fo- long time. A mass.meeting Of
citizens was called for last night, at the
urt.House to select a Board Of Trustees,
appoiE. Town Marshal and set the wheels
Of municipal government in motion. This
is a moys in the right direction, and it is
hoped that every good citizen will lend his
assistance in behalfof law and order The
drinking, shooting and carousing which
has been witnessed in the last ten days
ought to be stopped. Tuesday night the
town was in the hands Of Wild, drunken,
reckless mob.
Died, at his residence, in this county,
October 2Sth, 1850, Stephen q. Cummins,
aged nearly 6j years. Mr.. Cummins was
one Of the. very best citizens this county
has ever had. lie was born here and his
entire life was passed in this county. More
than 80 years ago he became a member Of
the Presbyterian Church, and he remained
a devoted Christian until his death His
notable traits were uprigh'ness in business
Affairs, pure morals and generous dIspo-
sition. Two children, Mr.. W. {. Cummins
and Mrs. CIV. Adams, and his widow sur
vive him. lie was a father in Israel, and
his loss will be deeply felt The entire
community sympaihize with the bereaved
relatives.
Six election precincts oct Of seven in
this county give lIsncock al; Garfield
200; Turner 722; White 100 In the Pres.
idential race it is probable that Hancock
has very small majority, but White has
at least 81 majority in the county, gain
over Boyd's vote Of 100 when Turner had
1898 majority in the District. This result
is due to two causes, namely: the immense
amount Of money used by the Republicans
and the sell-out Of the Greenbackers. OF
this last element, there were very few who
did not succnmb to the influence Of Whites
money. J. +. Allen, l.. b. Carter, Francis
Bloomer, NJ. b. Debord, j. +. woodward,
and few others, were the notable excep-
iions. These men were true to their prin-
ciples, voting and working for Turner, and
the Democrats will remember them for it.
