Election Echoes.

Amendment No. 9 (poll tax) received majority in the county the vote standing 1210 to 10S7. This was not a majority of all the votes cast, however, as the law requires on the adoption of amend ments, hence it is counted as lost in the county.
 Amendment No. 10 (bond issue) was defeated, the vote standing 723 for to 1447 against.
 The road tax carried by al- most ? to 1 the vote being 1745 to 897.
 Against liquor license carried in the county by 1032 to 1666, but as thisis a question settled by districts in this county, the "wets" were able to figure out a majority of 34 votes in the Vest ern district.
 The friends of Judge Worth ington believe that the vote on Governor would show almost an even break with Mr. Donaghey had many Republicans not failed to scratch off the name of the Socialist candidate. Reports from almost every precinct say that several such tickets were voted. In Yocum there were 12 ballots on which were left the names of both the. Republican and Socialist candidates, hence could not be counted. MT. Donaghey lacked 143 votes of getting a majority of all the votes cast in the county and his majority over Warrington is almost axactly the same figures.
 o. c. Ludwig, Democrat, for Secretary of State, received a total vote of l547 and his Repub- lican opponent received total of 1254, the formers majority being 293. The Tribune believes this vote about represents the relative strength of the two parties in the county.
 The vote on Prosecuting At- torney stood: Horsley, Demo- crat, 1924; Mayes, Republican, 1889, making Horsley's mojority 185.
 Democratic candidates running without oposition received votes as follows: Dodson, for County Judge, 2554; Carroll, for Sheriff, 2630; Haley for Collector, 2596; Doxey for Treasurer, 2619; Walden, for Assessor, 2618; Webb, for Surveyor, 2eO2.

Now for Good Roads

The fact that road tax has carried in the county again by a pronounced majority is evidence that the people are in favor of good roads and are not willing to let the disappointment so far ex- perienced under the operation of the present law deter their efforts to secure passable highways.
 While many townships in the county have just cause for com- plaint against the overseers for partiality in selection of places to be worked, as we'll as for the quality and quantity of work done, the progress of the work of making good roads is necessarily very slow, much slower than one would conclude without making some deliberate figures upon the proposition.
 In the first place township is entirely too much territory for one overseer. It is like one man trying to tend 160 acres of corn or more. He can't do it, or any part of it, to doi right or even get over it all in one season.
 The people of Hickory town ship are going to expect a good deal from the overseer elect, Will Wells, during the coming two years, and The Tribune be- lieves they will not be disappoint- ed. We believe he will make every dollar of the tax money count in road improvement and that he will conduct the affairs of his position entirely above sus- picion of partialty to any portion of the community. We take Wells to be fair man in his makeup and we know he has sense enough to know how to build a good road.
 Let us nope for good things in the way of road building in the county during the next two VearS

 Amid many discouragments and dis appointments of various kinds the management of the Markley Canning Co.,, at the close of business Saturday, the 19inst., report total pack of pine and one-half cars of tomatoes. The season is now thought by some to be pretty well over, though some late patches will perhaps run the factory up to 13 or IA car loads. Some remarkable returns from the various crops are re- ported, We believe the largest being from Price Jones, who from three acres reports a small fraction less than three three hundred dollars worth already delivered and small per cent of the crop still in the field. MT. Chas. Swor carries off the banner for quality. This neighborhood is to be congratulated in having this commendable enterprise in our midst and we trust that the same public spirit that has brought the bu si- ness up to it's present state will conti nue to carry it on. It takes much patie nee and business sagasity, as we'll as fi- nancial risk, to establish a business like this in any locality, and our people certainly owe the founders and main- tainers of this factory their hearty sup port and cooperation.
 Mrs. T. L, Cooper and daughter of Savoy, Ark, who have been visiting her mother, Mrs. Jose Blasngame, for a couple of weeks, took the train here Sunday on their return home.

Fine Showing in Tomatoes

The local canning factory will not do the volume of business that it did last year by almost if not quite half. This is not say ing, however, that it is not doing nice business, for it is.
 Last year it canned everything from cull apples up. This year the crop is necessarily confined to tomatoes almost alone, but on this product it is going to eclipse last years record by several cars and the quality by long odds. Last years pack was a good aver- age grade, but that put up so far this season is simply superfine. A better grade of fruit has never been seen here before. It has perfectly matured and been de- livered in the best of good condi- tion.
 Whe n the factory people have filled the orders for futures they have contracted, they hope to hold for little margin above the regular mar ket price on account of the quality of the goods.
 So far as it relates to the pack ing of tomatoes, last years re- cord has already been excelled in amount packed, and there are two are three more weeks yet of good tomato busin ess.
 MT. Reeves est mates that the business this year will not exceed 9 cars output, and while this sounds small as compared with the figures of last year, it is big business nevertheless and has been the means of dropping quite a nice lot of money among at people at a time when it came into the best of use.

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great Q change few years of married life often mako in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, tho brilliance vanish like the bloom from peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret dfain is robbing tho check of it's freshness and the form of it's fairness.
