suit may be thus:

Hugh Lewis goes to Egypt,

with a majority of about 500.
Minkwitz is in all probability
elected county treasurer. The
race for sheriff, and county col
lector is very close and until
Washington and Chappell

can not be determined. 1t is
generally believed that Haynes
has beat Schutze for county at

ty commissioner for this pre-
cinct, Hackworth is elected JUS
