developed. H. I. Wilson was the

was written in, he receiving 208
votes to Wilson's lat. Mcdaniel
had previously served as mayor,
and two years ago was replaced by
Chas. Hughes, who was not a can

of the office was SO
that the voters in no
terms, called him back
to again fill the place.

n an1ac wara Writtnn in a ri
long, tedious matter for the pre-.
cinct officials to handle the vote,
and it was well towards morning
before all of the vote was in.
