oath. The electors of Madison county
have chosen Mr.. Carney as one OF
three to look after the business of the
county. In u talk with a MADIsoNIAN
mar with reference TO county division
rnmors, Mr.. Carney stated that he was
decidedly opposed TO any such proceed

in which he resides. He said he had
been u citizen of old Madison for more

trust. and no statement that the MADI-
SONIAN might make would be necessary
to give his utterances weight.
