Singular Experience OF Boy Eight
Miles South OF Momphis--Look Out
The timid citizens OF Memphis had best
be on the lookout, and provide themselves
with a double-back action Calling gun,

A BALLoT.Box COMPLICATION.
The Careless Mistake Of an Elect!ont
Judge Causes Trouble.

The Careless Mistake Of an Elect!onr
Judge Causes Trouble.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. ia curious
complication has arisen in regard to the
official returns from one district Of Prince
George County. After the votes were
counted one of the judges, through igno-
norance, put the tally sheet into
the ballot-box and locked it up.
The law forbids the box to
be reopened unless there is a con-
test and how legally to secure the
official returns the judges OF the district
are puzzled to know. Judge Stone has
been appealed to, but it is feared that he
may declare he has no jurisdiction and
cannot order the ballot box to be re.
opened. In this event there is only one
course to be pursued. Fortunately the
new boxes are transparent. The
Judges will probably meet and while
the one shakes the box up the other will
watch until the tally sheet falls on top of
its other contents with the figured side up.
They wall then carefully read the returns,
make correct copy and send it to tho
Secretary of State. While the official re.
turns from the Fifth District are not COM
plete, owing to the above cause, the fig.
ures as far as known give Compton, DEM
oorat, plurality OF seven votes.

Thence north through Wayne,

In the above railroad talk there
are thirteen counties mentioned,
most all of them already tapped
by railroads, but Hardin County
is not mentioned among them. If
that road is built and leaves Har-
DIN County out she may never
have another chance for a road.
And will her people, who are pro-
gressive, energetic and enterpris-
ing, allow this chance to..slip with
out making an effort to secure the
road. Savannah is already hav.
ing a healthy boom, is slowly, but
surely, improving and with q rail
road through this section a city
would spring up as if by magic.
And why should not Savannah
become a cityi She is at the head
of low water navigation; the larg-
est steamers can reach her port
the whole year round; and there
is not a city within a radius of a
hundred miles of us and one OF
the healthiest places in the State,
