A young lady and gentleman
went to a neighboring town last
Sunday to visit friend and the ru-
NOR gained currency during their
absence that they had run away to
be married. The rumor was pre-
MAJ, at least. They have return

The Democrats Elect the
Chancellor, Circuit Judge
and Attorney General
by Good Majorities.
The COlored Republicans in Giles
Discard their Leaders and
Help to Swell the Demo-
cratic Vote.
z. D. Patterson, Democratic Candi-
date for Circuit Judge. Carries
Hardin County.

The county election was a strict
ly non-partisan contest. The re
publican strength in Giles is suffi
cient, when consolidated, to forct
the democrats into line, but a spill
between white and colored voters
left the field open to democratic
candidates this time.
The contest was none the less
interesting, however. for the alb
sence of this Issue. The race was
purely on personal popularity and
aroused as much interest as any po-
litical contest of equai Importance.
Almost every man in the county
was deeply interested in the election
of some of the candidates. The
county polled $50 more votes than
in the last presidential election.
Hundreds of people'from.all parts
of the country were in town Friday
watching the bulletin as the re-
turns came in and when enough
was known to insure the election of
w. r Craig, j. Polk English, j. w.
Braden and w. S Eel, these gen.
tlemen were treated to a bareback
ride on an ex confederate mule.
Several of the candidates made
brief speeches and two who had
been defeated announced that they
will be candidates again for the
next term.
The returns from other counties,
reported at intervals, added to the
enthusiasm of the crowd sthough
the election of all the democratic
candidates bad been considered
certain from the beginning and re-
ports only confirmed what had been
confidently expected.
Hon. E. d. Patterson of Hardin,
democratic nominee for circuit
judge got good majority in his
own county, which is strongly re-
publican.
The officials returns in the cleo
ton of chancellor for this division
and judge and attorney general of
the circuit cannot be given yet.
Several counties have not reported |
in full. The democratic nominees
for these offices are elected by good |
majorities.
For chancellor, Alternately oar
ries Giles. Maury, Dickson, Ben
ton, Hickman add Perry. Doherty |
carries Hardin, Wayne and Deca
tur. Abernathy's net majority 10
all counties reported is 4, 720. Law
renee and Lewis, not yet reported,
will swell his majority in the divis-
ion to more than five thousand
votes.

One other attraction for the first

woman in the county will be there
that day.
Now, gentlemen, don't forget, and
if you do forget, don't blame any
body ifyou fail to see the hand
soonest women in Giles county, and
finest stock, the fastest race and the
biggest and best barbecue you ever
saw. Remember to bring your
sweetheart along, for you'll miss
her if you don't. I'm going TO car

With pretty women, fine horses,
fat cattle and nice fruit and flowers
to look at, and a good free barbecue
