Primary elections were held Tuesday
throughout Jefferson county, for the pur-
pose Of putting a democratic ticket in NOM
ination. Returns from precincts casting
two-thirds of the vote of the county indi-
cate the nomination Of f. B. Bailey for the
Senate and assure the nomination of D. II.
Mays and John Il. Morris for the lower
house. The Call and anti-Call question was
not an issue in the contest, and the nomi-
nees are therefore free to consider the mat
ter when all the lights are turned on at the
legislative session of 1891. Hon T. E.
Morris are new men in the legislative field.
L. Boley, at Olive, six miles north of
Pensacola, exhibits in the latter city samples
of two kinds of tobacco-Sumatra and Ha-
vana-and each of them are more than
four feet in hight, of strong, healthy
growth, and great leaves that are compar-
atively free from the ravages of the worm
These stalks, MIR. Boey says, are fair
samples Of his average crop raise1 from the
seed on pine land. Nearly all of his plants
were destroyed by the almost unprecedented
freeze in March, and the crop was cut short,
but his success with the plants saved as
sures him of the ultimate success on large
scale with this crop. Mr.. Boley has settled
a colony of thrifty Germans on his lands,
and has secured the services of those skilled
in the cultivation and curing of tobacco.

John T. Gary and Miss Martha S. Senterfit,
both of Walton county, were duly and
legally united in the bonds of matrimony,
Judge S. 2. Darby officiating. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony was performed the
groom stepped TO the front, settled all dues
in the office, and asked his wife to be seated
a few minutes until he could go the livery
stable and get horse and buggy to
carry her down to his mothers, a dis
lance of about six miles, The young hus
band has not been seen or heard
from since. A few words will suffice to
explain the whole matter. This man Gary,
at 1920 p. M. on the day preceding, was
arrested by Sheriff John A. Mcleod on an
east-bound train, evidently attempting to
leave the country and justice for the breach
of a marriage contract. So he married her
to get rid of her. But, when it was discov-
cred by the young wife that she was for
sake1 and left to the mercies of a friendless
world by this marriage jumper, her weeping
and crying, her extreme agonies Of heart
and soul, are represented as being very
affecting. The unfortunate woman is uni
