FOREST COUNTY.

The result in Forest County is by no
means as satisfactory as the Republicans
would like to have it. They have lost
one of their candidates for County Com
missioner, Mr.. Whiteman, and the Board
VIII stand Morrison, Rep, Carson and
Herman, Dem. The matter of who is
elected Sheriff is still somewhat in doubt
at this writing. With the precincts of
Frost, Cooper Tract and BalItown to
hear from the figures place Mr.. Russell.

Republican. The precincts to hear from
ordinarily give Republican majorities, but
whether they will go strong enough to
overcome this lead is a matter of con-
siderable doubt.
