down here, and very few are talking It
much. The many friends Of Leon Nc

the county, are rejoicing over his large
majority for railroad commissioner. as
this was the first race he has ever made
for a public office.
Although Joe johnson, who says he is
opposed to the branch court at this place
was nominated for representative. the
citizens of Albertville have no fear of the
court being abolished, as 1t has already
been shown that it was a benefit to the
county and more so to the residents OF
Sand Mountain. c. W. Brown was nomi-
mated state senator from Marshall and
Jackson counties, and he Is In sympathy
with the court. Mr.. Brown was nomi-
nated by a decisive majority over c. M.
