THE SILENT VOTE.

An enthusiastic Stanley supporter
laughingly asked us what became of the
silent votes in the recent primary. In
the same humorous way we answered
him that it remained silent. This lead
us to make an examination of the vote
of this county. The following is the
result.
1926 persons voted in the primary.
1913 of the voters did not vote for any
one for Governor 227 did not vote
for either Benton or Shackelford. SAG
failed to vote in the races for Represen-
tative.
This silent vote in Madison county
could have nominated Benton. 1t
could have nominated either Park OF
Cornelson.
What does it mean? The three races
named were the ones of greatest at
traction. However, the voters refrain
ed from taking part in the same. 1t
was not by oversight. They went to
the polls for the purpose of voting and
did vote, but they remained silent in
these races.

Berea last Friday morning at o'clock
from the effects of a complication of
diseases. Several years ago Mrs. Ad-
ans had the misfortune to lose leg
from white swelling, and had been in
poor health from that time. Althoug h
misfortune had befallen her and she
was almost a constant suffer from
disease and pain, yeti she bore her suf-
ferings with genuine christian grace,
was of cheerful disposition, and ener
getic and ambitious. She was greatly
beloved by all who knew her and will be
sadly missed by large circle OF friends
Mrs. Adams was the daughter of Theo-
dore (Bud) and Lucy Mason Dunn. of
Whites Station, a prominent Madison
county family. Her mother died sever
al years ago, but her father still survives.
She is also survived by her husband, Mr.
Leslie Adams, postmaster OF Berea, and
two small sons. The bereavsd family
and friends of this splendid christian
woman have the coincidence OF every
person in Madison county. Funeral
services were held at the home in Berea
Saturday being conducted by Rev. Hop
per, prominent Presbyterian minister
of Louisville who paid a glowing
tribute OF respect to her departed spirit.
AT the conclusion of the services the

Alone With The Mule.

He was holding the mule while the
brute was grazing, and all at once some
thing happened, and the first thing John
recalls is that he was kinder coming to
himself and was lying CD the ground
with a skinned head, and he don't know
whether the mule kicked him, showed
him over and stepped on his head or just
what happened, but he knows that he
was all alone, just he and the mule, and

JEFF DAVIS LOSES
 IN SUIT FOR LAND
Judge Grace Instructs Yer dict in Action, Brought Over Farm Sold Under
 Foreclosure.

Under peremptory instructions from the court, Harold Bluthenthal, as foreman of the jury in the case of Jeff Davis ys. Pine Bluff Trust company ct al., penned verdict find ing for the defendant. This action came at the close of day spent in hearing testimony in the case, and after the suit had been dismissed by plaintiff as to the Cotton Belt Sav- ings X Trust company.
 Davis sued for 125 acres of land, described as the southeast quarter of section F, township four south of range seven, west, and for $5OO0 claimed as damages and the value of crop harvested by defendants.
 The incidents date back to 1906, when the Pine Bluff Trust company and Minnie B. and w. J. Levy secured the foreclosure of vendors lein upon the property, the Levy's pur- chasing the land at sheriff's sale for S625. Davis main contention was that he had not been permitted to of- fer defense at the foreclosure pro- ceedings, though admitting he had defaulted on the note sued upon. Judgment for defendant for costs and for the return of property re- plevined to defendant was rendered in the circuit court yesterday in the case of iHellums company vs. w. L. Granderscn, after plaintiff had taken a non-suit. The property involved consists of stock and farm imple- ments, valued at about 5000.
 Four suits instituted by Mrs. Ida s. Langford against four insurance companies were dismissed with pre- judice by the plaintiff. The Coca Cola Bottling company dismissed it's suit against the Iron Mountain railway Judge John M. Elliott yestefda. granted the petition pf Mrs. Clara Futile for divorce from N. L. Tuttle and the restoration of her maiden nam:e. Clara Cogbill. Plaintiff pleaded cruelty.
