CULLEoKA, July 2O.-The people at
Hillsdale are delighted to have with
them Miss Grace Williams, of Nash
vile. She was here four years ago, and
won everybody by her sweet manner
and wonderful musical gift.
Mrs. Garrett and daughter Brownie,
of Lynnville, are visiting Mrs. EVins
Miss Jimmie Evins, of Nashville, is
also there.
Miss Lizzie Cockrill is visiting at Mr..
Henry Martins.
Mr.. owen Daniel, who has been in
poor health for some time, was critic
ally i'll yesterday.
As yet only twenty-five carloads of
potatoes have been shipped from Gull
leoka. Now that the price is climbing
little, those who have not dug Will
put theirs on the market
We, just about Culleoka, are not suf-
fering from a fruit famine, as some
communities seem to be. The plums
We're abundant, so are apples and pears
Many of the peach trees are breaking
down. 1t is true that few trees that
were so over-laden with fruit last year
are perfectly bare; but most OF the trees
are full.
Both the older and young people are
indebted to Rev. and Mrs. Frierson fol
most pie asant evening at the manst
last Wednesday. The house, beautiful
~ fresh and neat with vases of brigh
flowers, looked inviting; but the eX

spend most of the time in the Lighted
yard, where seats had been arranged
Everybody tried to make everybod,
else happy, and consequently every
body had good time. That was hap
Ply thought of Bro and Mrs. Frierson.
That evening, Miss Clabie Taylor
with her guest Miss Williams, were en-
tertained at tea by Miss Brownie Tom

with charming hostesses, delightful

Its Significance.

The Republican victory on Monday
last. in Maine, exceeded in the emphasis
of rousing majority, the expectation of
the most ardent aud sanguine. A plu-
ralitv of nearly $4,000 in total vote of
about III, 900 is simply amazing, and
more than double the plurality ever
before given at any State election in a
presidential year.
The victory is Republican one but it
is more than that. Democrats forsook
the faction of the old party which
abandoned the old time platform and
either voted the Republican ticket or
staid at home. They, could not bring
themselves to the acceptance of the
silver. free coinage delusion and put
their votes where they would do the
most good to rebuke their party for
going after strange gods.
This overwhelming vote for integrity
in finances and adequate protection to
our industries must have powerful
influence upon voters in other States and
help, nightly, the triumph of Republi-
can principles and the triumphant elec.
ton of Mckinley and Hobart on Novem-
Der 4th next. Maine has done its work
to this end, and has done it well.

Clean Sweep of Every County.
State Senate Unanimously Re.
publican, House Nearly SO.
Somerset Did Its Part Noblx.

Maine did big job Monday last and
won big Republican victory.
Powers is elected Governor by about
$4,000 plurality. Every county gave
large Republican majorities eee,ng
every county officer in the Is counties.
The State senate is soldly Republican
and the house has but half dozen
Democrats among its l5l members.
The "big four" Maine congressman
are reelected by tremendous IMPURITIES,
and Maine will retain its ascendency in
the next Congress.
Somerset polled the largest Republi-
can vote in its history and secured the
largest Republican plurality it ever had,
2797 In the last presidential year it
was 707 and in the year 1894 when
Democrats let the election go by default
it was 2672
The campaign in the State has been a
thorough one. More Republican litera-
ture was circulated than ever before in
one year and the speaking reached
nearly every town in the state. Somer-
set was not behind in these educational
means. About one ton of printed doeu.
ments was sent out by mail directed to
voters in every town and plantation in
the County. Twenty-six different
speakers addressed the people at 4G diff
ferent meetings in 30 different towns and
plantations. In all IS different speeches
for sound money and protection were
delivered during the weeks campaign
in Somerset. This thorough work was
supplemented vigorously by commit
tees and individuals in every town and
plantation and produced grand results.
Judiclous work tells in politics as in
other affairs.
Somerset's Republican ticket that has
appeared in the REPORTER was elected
to a man and by large maiorities, as
follows:
