The country air was fine enough, to be sure, to tempt any city girl that lives into a walk when the dew is fresh on the lawns. But country air, the meadows, the new mown hay and all the lest of it were not considered sufficient n- ducements for the "early to bed and early to rise' theory. The girls packing away organdies in the June weather, also put away some early morning frocks, which they said were to be worn before break fast on their daylight stalks. They are now writing to friends in town that they breakfast every morning before o'clock; that instead of a stroll across the meadows they have a mad gallop on the beautiful thoroughbreds of the farm. They are re- tlring at nice, respectable home, and no one would ever believe that they were born and bred city girls, so eheerfully do they conform to the early hours of the household.

BURRIS THE NEW MAYOR OF WOODLAWN  The Election a Great Fourth ot
 July Attraction. HIS MAJORITY WAS 76 VOTES The Entire Ticket Supporting Him Was Also Elected, Though Running
 Behind MT. Burris-Only
 One Fight Occurred
HIS MAJORITY WAS 76 VOTES

There was no more exciting attraction in all the Birmingham district on the glorious Fourth than at Woodlawn where the much talked of municipal election was going on John B. Burris, who headed the admins tration ticket, defeated Former Governor Rufus w Cobb, of the citizens ticket, by 76 votes. The remainder of the administra- tion ticket ran far behind MT. Burris, though all of them had majority over their opponents.
 There was greatest interest manifested in the election, and the voters were almost pulled to pieces by the "fixers'' of the op- posing sides There was but one fight, however during the entire day, and that was after the polls closed at o'clock.
 The following is the detailed vote of each candidates:
 For Mayor-John B. Burris, 296; R. ". Cobb 20; majority 76.
 Alderman First Ward-J. F. Abney, 266; B. w. Sherwood, 247; majority, 19
 Alderman Second Ward-L. L. Campbell, 2Sl; V. c. Smith, 225; majority, 56.
 Alderman Third Ward-H L. Jordan, 275; J. G. Snedecor 229; majority, 46
 Alderman Fourth Ward-R. K. Edwards, 2G2; E. Brewer. 24; majority, IS.
 Alderman Fifth Ward-E. J. Wood, 261; J. B. Helm, 2iS; majority, 13
 Alderman Sixth Ward-A. c. Jernigan, 279; J. B. Chamberlain, 225; majority, 54.
 Alderman Seventh Ward-R. K. Kennedy, 2e9; Joe c. Hail. 233; majority, S6.
 There were in all 52O votes cast, of which 142 were cast by negroes. According to a tally kept by friends of MT Burris, who were on the inside of the polls, Burris re- ceived 95 negro votes and Cobb 47, giving Burris a majority of AS colored votes. Ac- cording to these figures, this leaves a ma jority of 2S votes for Burrs, which is es- pecially pleasing to the Burris faction, as it had been charged that the administration ticket would rely on the negro votes for their strength.
