ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
 GIVEN UNIQUE TRAIN
Large Crowd To See Arkan-
 sas on Wheels

When the Arkansas on Wheels Special Exposition Train pulled up to the depot on schedule time last Tuesday afternoon an en- thusiastic crowd not outnumber- ed by a circus day was there to greet it. Brinkley people and the adjacent territory turned out en masse to show their just ap- preciation for what the promot- CTS of the train are striving to do for the great state of Arkan- sas and the originating city of the train, Brinkley. The city school dismissed for this occasion and the school pupils marched in a body to the depot. They sang a number of songs for the party which proved one very in teresting feature of the trains stop. The train was scheduled to remain here only one hour but in order to give all the people time to go through the train and view all the marvellous exhibits consisting of the best that can be produced in any land in the world it was necessary to pull out of Brinkley on the great eastern tour nearly one-half hour late.
 Arriving in Memphis Tuesday evening the train was met by a special committee of the Busi- ness Mems Club and ladies of the Nineteenth Century Club and the train party consisting of about 130 people were driven in automobiles to the Business Mems Club where magnificent reception and dinner was given to them. A number of speeches were made by notable men of Ark ansas and Tennesse and hatter- ing compliments were exchanged by these representatives of the two good neighbors.
 All through Mississippi as they sped on toward the east the party and exhibits were visited by crowds from one to five thousand people. At New Albany all the stores, banks and school closed up to visit the train. It was stated by one railroad agent in Mississippi that he had sold 500 migration tickets within the last year to people who had re- moved to Arkansas to seek homes on the farm. This being true in our neighbor state alone there is no way to estimate the good influence the train may have in other sections along it's route in bringing good people and capital into our midst.
 The party spent last night in
 
 Atlanta and will be in Charlotte, N. c. tonight. MT. Folsom has promised to send to us some ob- servations of the trip which will appear in our next issue.

plurality of 497. Rice was next with
1858 votes to the good, while Hayes,
the youngest of the three, finished an
excellent third by 200 majority. These
men represent a goodly portion of
the county and will serve their con-
stituents most ably.
The result in the race between G.
G. Hunt, Democrat, and James Platt
Republican, was in doubt until the
very last. At one time during the
evening, the former concluded that
he was defeated and went home, only
to return to Democratic headquarters
in the morning and discover that he
had GA votes to the good. He will as

January.

An exceedingly handsome majority
was totalled by DR.. Paul S. Stokes,
who secured the Office of coroner by
278 votes. Stokes run was good all
the way through.
Probate Judge P. L. Wilkins, who
was a candidate for second term, ran
on the judicial ballot. His majority
Of 1,41S votes is fair indication of
the popularity of his efforts to please
during the past two years.
COLLEGE ON JOB
The first news came from Miller
township where the official figures on
the judicial ballot were available at
S:15 o'clock.
Running true to form, College
township was the first to report with
the figures in full on county offices.
This news was eagerly gobbied up
and the dopesters Immediately fig
ured that the heads of the tickets
would carry the county by such-and-
such figures.
The returns were slow coming in,
exceedingly slow. At no time during
the night was there run" on the
two telephones which had been
placed at the disposal of the newspa-
per men by the Mt. Vernon Tele-
phone Co. 1t was only necessary once
to use both phones at the same time.

julius w. Headington was elected
state representative from Knox coun-

1,05S. New in the game, he pitted
himself against a much more exper-

county by the stupendous majority

Walter B. Mossholder, the efficient
and popular deputy under Sheriff

his present superior will vacate in
January, running second high on the
ticket, with a majority of 1,O9S votes.
A. D. Rinehart, known best as
Doug, made thoroughly splendid

A tremendous victory was achieved
at the polls Tuesday by the Demo-
cratic party in Knox county In the
election of the entire county ticket,
with the single exception of one Of
'fice--that of county surveyor-Whlch
has gone to the present incumbent,
Clifford B. Shaw, by the scant major
ity of six votes.
Entering the lists with an adverse
Republican majority of 44s-that Of
the gubernatoriaI election of 1914
President Woodrow Wilson made a
wonderful run in Knox county, car
rying 1t by majority Of 9o5 and
lending material assistance to the as
plrants for county office.
Good news for Democracy did not
"break" until nearly two o'clock We'd

slight gain on the part of the head
of the ticket, computed by the gains
and losses systems, appeared against
its interests here. To be true, Head

BARN PARTIALLY BURNS

A barn in the rear of the w. 2.

was ignited Wednesday afternoon at
1:90 o'clock by sparks from bonfire
in the back yard. The fire depart
ment was called and succeeded in
extinguishing the flames after the
upper portion of the structure had
been consumed. Wagons and har-
ness in the barn were removed be-
fore the flames gained great headway.

Much admiration was expressed for
the speed with which Third Ward A..

the largest precinct in the county
and the entire ticket, with the excep-
tion of the judicial, was counted by
1880 p. m. 1t was not until after
o'clock in the morning that several
precincts, Jackson, for instance, fin
ished the count. This was due, how
ever, to the fact there was consider
able argument over the disposition
of certain ballots.
WILSON CARRIES CITY
President Wilson had the double
distinction of carrying the city, as
we'll as the county. His majority in
the eight precincts was 6S votes.
James M. Cox and Gov. Willis had
a nip-and-tuck race for Knox county
honors in their desire to resume the
gubernatorial chair in Columbus. The
tabulated vote, as published below
shows that Cox lead Willis in Knox
county by vote of one. He was de.
feated two years ago by Willis by
a majority of 44S votes. This is ac-
cordingly gain for Cox of 449 votes.
official count will probably change
this "one" majority as is given un-
officially, presumably increasing it.
SERVICE VERY EFFICIENT
The elaborate plans of the Mt. Ver-
non Telephone Co. to receive and dis
pense the election news met their
reward in tho speed with which it
was disseminated all over the city
by four special operators who answer
ed continuous string of calls and to
the political headquarters, the Y. M.
G. A. and the pool rooms.
The telephone company has for
years proved highly valuable and
appreciated adjunct in the handling
of the election returns and its service
of Tuesday night was no exception.
Subscribers of the line, as well as in
terested people, feel debt of graft
tude to the company for its splendid
work.
A LANDSLIDE?
Quite a sensation was created in
the Offices of the telephone company
about o'clock in the evening when
somebody came in with the informa-
tion that Hughes had carried Yer
mont by 10000 votes. An election
compendium was handy and, on look.

was discovered that the total vote in
Vermont does not nearly approach
the mark given above.
In the front room of the telephone
offices, there was a special table kept
where all comers might view the cleo
tion returns as they came in. This
proved quite a popular place and also

CROWDS MAMMOTH

stated Tuesday that they had never

election was reflected in the fact that

for election news. AS soon as the
last hangers-on quit calling, to snatch
a little sleep, the early risers started

stopping at all. He was in almost
