Flashes From
County Election
Entire Republican Ticket
Elected by Increased Major
ities-Race Close in County
Between Harmon and
Sells.

The entire republican county ticket
was elected in Tuesdays election by
majorities ranging from 700 to 1000.
The county court will remain re-
publican by about the same majority
that has prevailed the past six years.
In the race for representative,
Hon. J. c. Rowan has been nominated
over his opponent by safe majority.
Hon. R. M. May, of Washington
county, candidate for state senator,
will have majority in Greene coun-
ty over his opponents of several hun
bred.
The race between Judge Harmon
and Congressman Sam r. Sells is
very close, and it may require the
official count to decide it. Accord
ing to figures today, Judge Harmon
has majority of less than 100 in
the county.
Judge Roberts, democratic candi-
date for governor, has carried the
county over Peay, also democrat, by
majority estimated at 500.
Senator John X. Shields will have
majority estimated at 600 in the
county over Governor Rye. In the
Tenth (Greeneville) district, Gov
ernor Rye has a majority Of seven
votes, while Peay carried the dis
trict over Roberts by ten votes.
In the GreenevilIe district the
three republican magistrates were
elected, namely, Esquires w. 7.
Mitchell, O. T. French and John r.
Self.
Messrs. w. M. RAIDER and 0. I.
Lane, republicans, were elected con-
stables for the Greeneville district.
Judge Dana Harmon carried the
Greeneville district by about two to
one over Congressman Sells.

OBITUARY.

On July Is, 1918, the death angel
came into our community and slipped
into the home in the stiffness Of the
morning Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Z. Hyder
and plucked from them their young
est son, Hartman. He was born on
August z, 1901. He was a moral
young man, just budded on earth to
bloom in heaven. He had host Of
relations and friends to mourn his
departure.
Cheer up, father, mother and
brother; he is not dead, but sleeping
in the sweet by and by, to await
your coming. AS it is the first death
out Of your home, no doubt, but
what your home is desolate without
him, the chair in which he sat is
empty, all of those little things in
which he touched are silent now.
Just little while before he passed
into eternity he told you, mamma,
he wanted to 60 to heaven, where
he could rest. Don't grieve after
him, as it won't be but short while
until you can go and see him again.
If the divine Father above designs
to touch with divine power the cold
the pulseless heart of the buried
acorn and make it burst forth from
its prison walls, will He leave neglect
ed the soul of man, who was made In
the image of his creator? If He SO
stoops to give to the rosebud, whose
withered blossoms float upon the au-
tumn breeze the sweet assurance of
another springtime, will He withhold
the words Of hope from the souls of
men when the frosts of winter come?
If matter, mute and inanimatc, is
changed by the force Of nature into
a multitude of forms that never die,
will the spirit Of man suffer annihiIa-
ton after it has paid a brief visit
like royal guest to this tenement
of clay? And our Father has said,
whatsoever liveth and believeth in
Me shall never die" Because live
you shall liv1 also, and Jesus said
unto him, am the resurrection and
the life; he that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he
live. Because l live you shall live
also.
BY a Friend,
MAE ROSE.
