THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary election held Mon
day, pursuant to resolution of the
Executive Committee, to nominate
Parish officers, passed off quietly,
over 1000 votes being polletl. Up
to the time Of going to press, all
OF the boxes, except Union Church,
Hinestou, Hammock and Gum,
have been returned, showing that
1908 votes have been cast for Mr..
E. &. Hunter and LAO for James
Andrews for Judge. This is ma.
jority Of 6S in favor of Mr.. Hunter.
Whether the remaining boxes vii:
change this result or not, is mat
ter of conjecture and can only be
determined by the count Of the
votes, when the boxes come in. AT
any rate, the contest for the Judge
ship is very close and will not be
known until the official result has
been proclaimed.
The returns received thus far
show that Mr.. John c. Ryan has
been elected to the Senate and
Messrs. Wilson aud Ariail to the
House. Sheriff ID. T. Stafford, on
the face of the returns, is the Dem.
ocratic nominee for that position
again. 1t il not probable that the
official count will change this re-
suit. The total and official vote
will be published next issue. 1t

The beautiful lodge room of CamI No. 6, Woodmen of the World. was scene of pleasure and mirth last evening, for on this occasion the Camp was entertaining q number Of invited guests with a literary treat combined with banquet. The affair was solely in the nature of a social feature to enable the members and their families to be- come better acquainted with one another and to learn more of the blessings and advantages of the splendid order.
 The singing was particularly good as one might judge by observing the names of the songstrcsses who con tributed of their gifts and talents.
 During the evening refreshments consisting of fruits, nuts and candies were supplied the guests in the great est abundance.
 As a social function this entertain- ment proved T great success. and no doubt accomplished the purpose for which it was given.

 TON.
It is Relieved that the New Association Win supereeed the CentraITraf- fic and Trunk Line As
 soeiatiOn.

CuIcAGo, ILL, Dec. 5:-tt is ex- pected that the relations of the Central Traffic Association to the new combine of the trunk line presidents will he fully defined at the meeting of the executive officers, of Chicago east-bound roads here today. Among high railroad officials it is not believed that the new association will supercede the Central Traffic and Trunk Line Associations, but that the Joint Traffic Trust will simply take care of the through business while the old associations will continue to exist for the regulation of the local competitive business in their re- spective territories. In connection with today's meeting q conference between the executive officers and the general passenger agents is being held to take action on he proposed plan for pooling the east-bound emigrant business.
