WILLS POINT, Ten, Nov. 10.-In
your issue of to-day your correspondent
notes that in giving the list of state SEN

Senator Kearby is from the whole Sew
enth senatorial district, but his place of
local r, sidence is II. Wills Point, and
from remarks made by many OF his fell
low citizens here they are too proud of
his citizenship to be willing to have him
accredited TO any other place.
