CHILD HURT.
rary fine five-year-old child OF Mr.: Z.
IA pickett, met with a painful accident
.,resterf1sy afternoon while playing on tne
revolving gate leading into the court
house. The little one with her piavnates'
was. it is supposed, swinging on the
,sfe when she was caught between the
&1,o y,i11 10y of a
80. \ 1,-as- badly bruised. DR.. Rucker was
called Immediately and did all in MS
,,,ou.er for her She was resting easily at
= late hour last night and nothing serl-
ona &c thought will arise from the accl-
dent.

,,r;mary are also seemingly asleep to the
=, that the person 0n the Council and
zpo.r7,:z who receives the largest num-
her o! votes gets the long term in the
r,,o t,odfas. For this reason. those who
sre corndzant of the fact are quietly
working among their friends, asking
everv one to come to the polls and vote.
There is not a Republican candidate for
office in the city. One Independent Is
running. Dir. Waverly Nunnally con-
