Man, in County Seat
Election.

Unusual interest was aroused in the
election held in Jackson yesterday, and
the voters turned out in greater num-
bers than We're ever known before, at

turns were announced, the honors
stood about even, and the contending
factions had succeeded in electing
about an equal number of candidates.

were elected to the City Council by
the Vets.
The returns from the election are
