The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1900-06-08
we do now proceed to the election of ofa-

GERS for the ensuing year"
81 second the notion" came from .
dozen different directions at once. With
out noticing the interruption, Gen. Horner
went on, And | further move that the
elections be made by acclamation. All
those in favor of the motion will signify
it my saying aye"
There came fierce chorus of ayes.
"Those contrary minded will signify it
by saying no." said Gen. Horner in so
low a tone that he could not have been
heard ten feet from where he stood.
There were no negative votes, however,
and there was no need to announce the re-
suit.
The election came and was over so
quickly that the mass of those in the hall
hardly comprehended what had been done,
and for an instant they sat silent. Then
came the flood. Cheer after cheer rang
through the hall, and as Gen. Gordon
came forward to express his thanks for
the honor done him they went wild. Hats,
handkerchiefs and canes filled the air,
and above them all came the old yell
made famous on many less pleasant oA
casion.
"Why, gentlemen" said Gen. Gordon,
you have already by your cheers said
all that can say. l can only add that
deep in my heart is the image of every
Confederate soldier and there those i'm
ages will remain, the proudest record that
has been written by the hand of God on
that tablet"
