the election in this county were all received.
The republicans elected A. Shelton sheriff by
majority OF 5l7, and the democrats elected
w. Il. Hall tax assessor over Erwin, republic
can, by a majority of 97G The defeat of Err
win, who was a leading oolored man. has
caused hot blood among the republicans, and
it is conceded by many republicans that it will
result in the defeat of III. Clay Evans for con-
gress in this district. The republicans of
Hamilton county are hopelessly divided, and
it holds the key to the situation III the con-
gressional race.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY AT NASHVILLE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, August Especial i
Returns are coming in slowly. The indications
are that East Tennessee has gone republican
by the usual majority. Democratic gains are
reported in middle and west Tennessee. a
rather light vote was cast in this, Davidson,
county. The democrats certainly elect the
trustee and sheriff. The race between Hud-
son, democrat, and Welsh, republican, for
trustee, is very close. All magisterial tickets
badly scratched.
Enough is now known to show that every
democratic nominee on the county ticket is
elected, Hudson, for tax assessor, ran thou
sand votes behind the ticket, but is elected by
five or six hundred majority. All the twenty
eight democratic nominees from the city dis
triCt We're elected.

In the Amusing Comedietta ''used Up"

Sir Charles Coldstream, blase man of fash
ion, is made to deprecate everything in which
everybody else is supposed to take an interest,
with the languid remark that "there is really
nothing in it." He even extended this criti-
cism to the crater of Vesuvius, down which he
looked but saw nothing in it," Such charac-
ters are scarcer on this side Of the Atlantic
than broad, but they exist here notwith-
standing. Such men need "fllip to nature"
to incidentally stimulate their jaded appetite,
overcome their lassitude, and renew the
zest OF existence. They and others upon whom
the worlds enioyments are beginning prema-
turely to pail, will find Hostetters Stomach
Bitters a wholesome and speedy renewal of
vigor and health. Appetite returns. dyspeptic
and bilious symptoms disappear, the nerves
grow strong, and the hour of retirement is I'M

kidney troubles,

An Absurd Fashion,

From the JacksOnViIIe Times Union.
Unconsciously perhaps, several men here in
Jacksonville have fallen into London fad-that of
shaving the upper lip. There is organized move
ment at the English capital. against the mustache,
and attempts are being made by the Anglo-maniaes
in this country to popuarize it here. This has
proved dead failure in Philadelphia The Record
of that city remarks that it has been clearly demon
strated that most men would sooner part with
their little fingers than with their mustaches."
Why, no one seems to know. A mustacheless man
has no charm for girl who is looking for hus-
band. Villains and heroes all wear beautifully
trained and formed lip covers. And physicians say
that hare lip is injurious to the eyes, the mustache
serving to break the downward fall of ones vision
somewhat.

WARRANTED TO STICK 'EM.
How Fly Paper Demoralized a McDufie
County Man.

From the MoDusile Journal.
The man who invented that stiff. adhesive
sticky, deceitful snare, called fly paper, was n
reckless fend, as the following sad incident
viii demonstrate to all unprecedented minds.
A few nights ago, after the family had re-
tired, Judge Hardeway was seated at his table
writing some letters On the floor near him
was q sheet OF fly paper with the danger side
up. He was deeply absorbed in his correspon-
dence, when Thomas, the family cat, who had
been over to a neighbor's TO interview Marian,
strolled leiSurcly into the room and sat
down on the fly paper. Thomas's person
was doubtless somewhat heated from eX-
ercse, and when he arose up the treacherous
fly paper came with him and stuck to him with
a brotherly tenacity that foretold trouble. 1t
had taken mortgage on Thomas from his
heels 60 the point of his tail. One glance to
the rear convinced him OF the necessity of
prompt action. lie started across the floor,
and the paper went along also Then he
ran out the door, and up and down tho
porch, and yelled for Marian And then
he rushed back into the room, with his
eyes bulged out and his hair turned the wrong
way, and jumped over table, and ran under
the bed and came out again in hurry, and
knocked over a chair and tried 10 climb up the
wall. Then he made two jumps for the door,
with that villainous paper still holding his tail
straight up towards the sky in a most indecent
and undignilcd manner, and dashed out
through the orchard towards Frank Dunning-
ton s, with q tail OF distress at both ends.
lie came home next day very sad and eX-
hausted, and with a wild-eyed look of super
natural sagacity and suspicion on his counte-
nance. He walks clear around every piece OF
paper ne secs and won't sit down on anything
The fly paper was found plastered over a
crack in the fence where Thomas had gone
through in an agony OF haste. 1t retained
scattered patches of blood and hide and q fork
of fur with the handle pointing upwards, and
only lacked motion 10 be good picture of
Thomas when getting away from danger
But Mr.. Hardaway gives tas his opinion that
the fly paper is spoiled and Thomas's intellect
gloomy ruin.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The democratic ma
tional executive committee met today and adj
journed at four o'clock to meet again at the
call of the chair.
The details of the proceedings were very
meagre. Secretary Dickinson said that MEM

Two Years Was Long Enough.

MERIDIAN, Miss, July 31.-[Special THE
local option election here today passed off
quietly. The county votes "for the sale" by
500 majority out of 5000 votes. Meridian has
had prohibition for two years and the senti-
ment of the best people was greatly against it.
The election here will have a great effect on
the balance of the counties that are now about
to hold elections on the same question.

1--WE don't want any
Republicans in our
country Senator COL
No"HoA y OUTFIT and
Representative STEWART, of
Georgia. --Augusta Chronicle.

This paragraph is produced in exact type
from the Indianapolis Journal, (rep.D as it
appears from Gay TO day at the head of the
editorial column. It's object is to influence the
result in pivotal state in favor of the repub-
lican candidate. Such paragraph cannot so
unnotced. We hereby inform the Indanapo-
lis journal that no such proscriptive spirit
obtains among the people of Georgia or in the
south. The south needs people and men of
capital, and skilled labor will find it to their
advantage to visit Georgia during the Augusta
National exposition with view to settlement
and investment, no matter what their political
views or opinions.
So far as the invitation to Representative
Mckinley is concerned, the Journal, out of
O spirit of fairness, should acknowledge in
print that the invitation has been extended to
the Ohio statesman to visit Atlanta, and that
he has accepted. There is no prescription or
intolerance among the people of Georgia such
as the words blazoned in tins black type may
suggest. There are protection democrats as
well as low tariff democrats in the south In
Georgia the majority is overwhelmingly with
the low tariff wing of the party but tho fact
that two Of the largest daily papers in Geor-
gia, favoring protection as a party policy, are
read and supported by Georgia people, shows
that such differences have not dwarfed the lib
eral and manly people. We have nothing to
do with what Senator Colquitt or Representa-
tive Stewart may have said or may not have
said. II they said these things, they did not
voice the sentiments of their constituents and
we serve notice on the Harrison men in Indi-
ana that they cannot mako political capital
out of Georgia and Georgiaus The body of
tho people do not accept any such exclusive
ness and will not allow any such imputation.

From the New York Telegram.


Who is it that the republicans are running
for president OF these United States?
Is il Blaine or Harrison?

ception of Blaine, on his return from the edete
monarchies.

rison, in his quiet Indiana village, raises himself
on his couch to shake hands with the visiting

It would not be so fanny if there were any chance
