in VIM. Coalson getting the buggy; the
bicycle being returned, there not being
enough money secured for its purchase.
The Afro-American was in strong evil
dence at the republican primaries and on
the tickets for delegates. They were on
either side the contest and brought the
fact to the minds of candidates that they
are members of the party in different
manner from what they had been in
former days. They were passive now
they are active. They said many things
in political way. but yet there was no
malice in the remarks or the opposition,
Their action has done good, no matter
which side they were on. T. E. Barton,
Jefferson Logan, Jake Robinson, E. e.
McAfiee and others worked hard for the
side they believed to be right. I. E. Will
Hansen, 0. A. Rivers, John Allen, George
Cleggett, K. N. hyde and several whose
names we do not call to mind now were
opposed. They all fought a good fight.
The people oil the county will abide by the
decision of the majority and work for the
interest OF the party faithfully.
