RESULTS IN IBERIA.

The day was al ideal one for cleo
ton, being pleasant and warm, but
Notwithstanding light vote was
polled. This is attributed to several
causes. one of which is, that the en-
thusiasm and energy was mostly spent
on the primary. which was virtually
the election, the nominees being NOR
al certainties, consequently many OF
our voters considered their work fin
ished and took but little interest
knowing what the result would be,
another cause of the light vote was
the fact that many were ignorant OF
the fact that a new registration was
required consequently did not register
anew. a fact that became known only
when too late There being no OPP
posing party Of any strength and such
as there was, conducting no campaign
Of vigor. there being no parOchlal OPP
posing party there was nothing to in
terest, or bring ont the vote on the
Democratic side The Republican
vote was the lowest ever cast i'll the

THE TOMB OF CAIN.
II Is Said to Be Not Far From the
City of Damascus.

The early traditions concerning
the city of Damascus are curious and
interesting, even though untrust-
worthy and contradictory. BY some
of the ancient writer's 1t was main
tanned that the city stands on or near
the site of the garden of Eden, and
just opposite there is a beautiful
meadow of red earth from which, 1t
is said, God took the material from
which he created Adam. This field
Is called Ager Damascus, and near
its center there formerly stood a pill
lar which is said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was
created A few miles out there Is a
an Abel, eminence called the Noun
tain of Abel, supposed by some to be
the place where the first two broth
ers offered their sacrifices. also the
spot where the first murder was COM
mitted. The most interesting spot
pointed out, however, is about three
leagues from the city, where an old
ruin is shown which all the orient be,
lieves to be the tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous
spot are known to antidate the Chris.
tian era by several hundred years.
Up to the time of Vespasian the in.
terror of the tomb Is said to have been
lighted and warmed by one of the
"ever burning" lamps so commonly
used by the ancients.

HUN TIERS
WE'RE AT WOODS AND LAKE
AT DAYLIGHT.
DUCKS WERE SCARCE
But the Boys Found
Squirrels.

The squirrel, duck and woodcock sea-
sons opened up Thursday. There were
number of Canton hunters in the
woods and at the lakes before daylight.
The squirrel hunters had some success,
but the rain in the morning and threat
ening weather all day interfered with
the movements of the squirrels, SO
that the bags were not large.
At Meyers lake there were half a
dozen hunters on hand at break of day
and a flock of six ducks, which toll;
to the high atmosphere before the
hunters could get shot. The wealth
er has been too mild for northei
fight and it will be some time before
there is much shooting.
So far as known no one vrntured out
after woodcock. They have become
almost extinct in this section of recent
years in spite of the fact that there
is much swamp land that formerly fur
nished cover for the birds.
All reports are to the effect that there
are more squirrels this year than for
many years past, but they are MOI
working on the hickory nuts to any
great extent as the season is q litt'+
late and the nuts are not well filled
out as yet
