BRIEF LOCAL MENTION.

1t is expected that the Giles del
egation to the congressional con-
vention at Columbia will go up to-
day.on the accommodation and can
non ball trains at 6 and 1928, a. m.
They will probably be able TO get
through in time to return that eve
nlng. Half rates, it is understood
will be given by the L Il N railroad
District No. II (Petersburg) of
Giles county went democratic last
Thursday for the fret time since the
war. There ATE IT'S negro votes
and 1872 white votes in the district.
Craig, for trustee. got the exact
number of white votes.
A beautiful balloon was sent mp
in honor of the democratic victory
in Giles county from the public
square. Thursday night. 1t trav-
eled slowly IN a north westerly di-
rectifon toward Fort Hill, where 1t
landed. 1t was made and started
up by Mr.. Howell Graham.
In this, the 7th civil district, j.
L. Jones and James ]. McCallum,
democrats, and Jno. W. West and
A. J. Chatterton, republicans, were
elected magistrates. Bob Williams,
democrat and Pleas. Anderson, re-
publican were elected constsbles.
There is nothing in the report
telegraphed from Pulaski to the
Democrat that Miss Mat
tie Rogers was thrown from her
horse near Bunker Hill Sunday
evening and killed.
On account of the sudden de-
parture of one of our typographical
corps TIM CITIZEN is unable 10 get
in type all the matter prepared for
this issue. Some correspondence
and much editorial matter is neces-
sarily left out.
& Several horses, We learn, died in
this community Tuesday from the
effects of excessive heat. We did
not learn to whom the animals be-
longed except that of Mr.. Pack, the
mail carrier from Pulaski to Bryson.
The modest reporter for The
CITIZEN don't swear, put he couldn't
get interested in that dam suit they
had up in court yesterday. The
hogs had damed up the mill race.
The will of the people of the
county has been expressed. Now
let everybody of every party bow to
this will and hold up the hands of
their chosen officers in the discharge
of their duties.
Now you know whether Giles
county is republican or not. Talk
about carrying the county !or the
republican ticket in November! Il
is more than ssbosh. 1t is foolish
ness.
The premium offered by Com
missioner Hord for best wheat, corn
and oats, was stated in last week S
paper to be on 80 acres, when it
should have been on the best 3
acres.
We have heard Of no engagements
made yet for the approaching sea
son at the opera house. 1t is too
warm, we suppose toi hink of such
things.
Not many of our citizens are at
tending fashionable watering places
this season. Many 60 to Elkmon1
for their health.
The rains Of Saturday and Sun
day came not a day too soon fol
the farmers OF GILES county. In
many localities of the county there
was splendid season.

promptly furnishing a copy of the
full returns of the election in tab
ular form.
