of letter received here from friend il

that George is fighting the devil on his
own ground. -. r. r. Channel is in

Among the stories that will bear repeat
ing, is one told concerning the race for
Representative between Uncle Dennison
James and William Edminston, when
Jackson and Vinton had but one Repre-
sentativs. EdminSton was unfortunately
in the habit of drinking to excess, and ne
elected business and everything else at
such times. At public meeting in Jack
son, Uncle Dennison is said to have made
the remark that 'there didn't seem to be
anybody running against him, and of
course he would be elected" The late
William Radcliff heard the remark, and
struck out for the the classic shores of
Mulga, where Edminston was soiourning
at the time, and persuaded him to straight
en- up, return to Vinton County, and en-
ter into an active canvass. The result
was-as James did not deem it necessary
to make great canvass-Edminston was
elected. Had not Uncle Dennison been
accredited with the joking remark, he
would doubtless have been elected, and
Edminston would havefnished his spree.
The latter however was smart man, and
made "a good Representative.
