WOULD Be TRUSTEE
PROMINENT YOUNG LIVE STOCK
DEALER SEEKS TO HANDLE
THE COUNTY'S MONEY.

Joe l.. Hagey, Jr., prominent live
stock buyer, and one of the most wide
ly known young men of the county
this morning made formal announce
ment of his candidacy to succeed J..
Ross Burns as county trustee.
& Mr. Hagey upon the declaration Of
war Immediately volunteered his SER
vices and went to the first officers
training camp, and later was transfer
red to the navy, where he served until
the end of the war. Prior to the war
he was engaged in business here with
Robert Gurley Since the war Mr..
Hagey has been associated with his
father, Joe Hagey, Sr,, in the live
stock business. He enjoys a wide ac-
quaintance throughout the county, and
has already received the assurance of
the warm support of these friends. He
is a splendid type of young man, and
is well qualified to fill the office which
he seeks at the hands of the people.
Mr.. Hagey is planning to make Wig
orous campaign of the county, and de-
clares that he is out to win.

SQUIRE ORR OUT
FOR COUNTY CLERK
POPULAR NINTH DISTRICT JUS
TlCE YIELDS TO IMPoRTUNl-
TIES OF FRIENDS.

I Gilbert NJ Orr, the well known and
pophHar Justice of the ninth district,
broke the ice in the county court
clerks race this morning when he for
mally announced his candidacy for
that Office. The announcement will
not occasion any surprise whatever
since Mr.. Orr's friends have been for
more than a year urging him to take
this step. No candidate ever entered
the contest for this desirable Office
with more prediction pledges OF sup
port than have been given Squire Orr.
From all sections of the county he has
been urged to 1hn. Although afflicted
physically Mr.. Orr has one of the
brightest minds among the young men
of the city, and no physical infirmity
can keep him from doing his whole
duty as a citizen at all times or from
being cheerful and optimistic. He is
one of those rare spirits whom adyer-
sity could never crush. He was one
of the most active war workers in the
county and in fact, never shirked a
dutv in war or in peace that is requir-
ed of a good American citizen. HIS
friends declare his election is assur-

CITY ELECTION
Be IN OCTOBER
MANY IN RACES
EXPECT MAYOR W. o. CHERRY
WILL HAVE OPPOSITION
FOR REELECTION.
MAY Be SEVERAL TICKETS
Names of Former Mayor Joe Dednnan.
w. S. Beasley, Wave Jackson and
Alderman Louis Barker Mentioned
as Candidates fos Mayor.

Although the municipal election will
be held month before the democrat.
ic primary in November, interest in
the county races has taken precedence
over the municipal fights which are
sure to come.
1t is expected that at least two full
boards will take the field for mayor
and aldermen. Possibly others Will
announce. 1t is regarded as certain
ty that Mayor w. o. Cherry will seek
endorsement of his two year admins
tration at the hands of this voters m
October. Alderman Louis Barker, it
is currently reported, is also making
an aggressive fight for the highest
city Office, and friends of Former May
or Joe Dedman are urging him to
again make the race. Mr. Dedman has
not consented to enter the contest,
but the names of w. S. Beasley, presi-
dent of the Kiwanis Club, and Wave
Jackson, insurance and real estate
dealer, have been prominently mention
ed as possible candidate for the office.
1t is certain that the fight for the
city administration will warm up per.
ceptibly within the next thirty days,
and it is believed by that time there
will be two or three tickets IN the
field, making IN aggressive campaign
for election.
Hardly will the echoes of the mnni-
cipal election died away before the
voters of the county will be called
upon to vote for their choice of can
didates for trustee, county court
clerk, sheriff, circuit court clerk and
register, and these fights are sure to
prove most interesting ones.

HICKMAN ZIG NJ ! COUNTY u
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION BE
BEFORE ESQUIRE o. E. ToTTY
NEXT WEEK.
MANY WITNESSES Be HEARD
Expected That Trial viii Attract Hun
dreds-lntense Interest Is Being
Manifested in Outcome of Crimins
Proceedings.

The preliminary trial of Deputy
Sheriff Jesse Anderson and Special Of
iicer Paul Johnson, charged with ia
tally shooting James E. Porter in at
tempting to arrest him near Shady
Grove on Saturday morning, June 4,
will be taken up before Esquire d. E..
Totty, of Hickman county, on next
Tuesday. 1t has not been announced
who will represent the defense, but
the prosecution will be conducted by
W. S. Fleming, Jr., and Major Horace
Frierson. Mr.. Fleming said that an
effort would be made to have defend
ant officers bound over to the grand
jury of Hickman county on the shoot
ing charge Before the grand jury an
effort will be made to secure indict-
ments charging the officers with man
slaughter.
In addition to the criminal proceed
ings, damage suit has been institut.
ed against fesp ss sil.4s FOR
the death of Porter. 1t will be proved
that Porter was formerly in the 167th
regiment of the famous Rainbow Di-
vision and that he was so severely
wounded in action in France that he
was discharged from the army as be-
ing totally and permanently disabled,
and given the maximum pension by
the government that can be given
private soldier, or $50 per month, and
upon this basis damage is being
sought.
Mr. Fleming declares he is still un-
earthing evidence which will be intro
duced when the cases go to trial Tues
day, and it is believed that the pre-
liminary hearing before Esquire Totty
will be one of the most largely attend
ed cases he has ever had.
