chosen were commissioners Of the revenue
justices, road commissioners, and consta-
y bles
Y In the Leesburg corporation election,
however, there was a perfectly uneX-
pected Landslide" The present Mayor,
w. Il. Harrison and Recorder. Arthur
Sheetz. were elected without opposition.
But Of the twelve old councilmen, some
Of whom have been yearly reelected for
thirty-fve years. but three-R. b. Wild
man, b. " White and c. d. Hammerly-
and they the three youngest in term Of
service. were returned 1t was a great
surprise 1t is believed that the colored
vote was drawn that way by the promise
that hog-pens, which had been banshed
two years ago, would again be allowed.
They will be mistaken. There was no
political issue at all in the case. The
vote was the largest for many years.
