with not enough variation to change the

Muse, the present incumbent, is re-
elected treasurer by about $50 majority;
g. w. Zirkle, the sheriff, is reelected
by about $50 majority, while John H.
Garst with about 100 majority and D. E.
kefauver with about $50 majority, re-
main commissioners Of the revenue. R.
w. Kline, the Democratic candidate for
commemorative attorney, Is defeated,
Jake Baer getting the office with MAJ
jority OF about ESQ. For supervisor of
Salem district w. II. Barnett, Republi-
can. defeats B. F. Thomas, the present
incumbent, by small mi jority. Messrs.
G. w. Lewis and w. P. Noomaw. Dem
ocrats, and T. NJ. Starkey, Republican,
are reelected supervisors.
j. 81. Camper, VIM. 81. Barnitz and e.
a. Bishop were elected justices of the

8. Dodson, 240; II. W. Blankenship, O.
For overseer of the poor j. B. Frier
