The races between Collier and
Station, and between Warheld and
Marable were the cio~ts, ones, and
attracted much interest. Mr.. Mar
able was defeated, Dut he made an
excellent race for young man. 1t
was his first race and lie was running
against some of the most popular
men the county. His defeat, there
fore, should not discourage him.
Mr.. Warfield has made an excel
lent trustee, and it is but justice to
say that his record is without blem-
ish. He will discharge his duty for
the next two years just as well as he
has for the past four.
Jas. M. Collier, the newly elected
sheriff, is well known to the people
of the county. He has served as
sheriff prior to this election, and it
was during a period when the GRIM
inal court of the county was attract
ing more than ordinary interest. The
Morrow trials were all had during
his term and it became his duty to
send VIM. Merrow into eternity. He
discharged his duty well and left the
office with a clean record.
G. l.. Pitt was appointed Attorney
General when Mr.. Savage resigned,
and had given the office close atten-
ton since. His heavy vote all over
the county shows that the people
havethe utmost confidence in him.
Mr.. Jas. T. Williams is one OF the
best farmers of the county, a good
and capable man. He will fill the
Office of assessor well.

lated form elsewhere.
