THE MUNICIPAL [
ELECTION.
|
A CONTEST AND "A HOT TIME IN I
IliE OLD TOWN."
I
The municipal election was licld on
Tuesday of la^t week and resulted in
such a muddle that another election
is to he held and a lively scrimmage
is expected. The result of tlie election
lus develop-d into factionalism which I
iH greatly deplored, as it will tend to
work against the progress of the town.
The election last week created an (
unexpected surprise. When the vole |
was e unted it was found that there I
was a iie hi the vote for mayor, Mr 1
M. T. Curlier, the incumbent, and W. I
Ware Colem in being tlie candidates ,
<>n account ot some c intention among
ihe friends of I V. h candidates the <
managers recounted the v< 1 s on
Wednesday and discovered an error
in the lirsl c unit which gave Mayor (
Turner a in ijarity of on : vote.
(>:i Faiday Mayor Turner assembled !
itie council wli m N. (J. ^li.ius Kstj , '
appear*<1 for Mayor Punier and lion. I ,
J. P. Mean for Mr. Coleman. Aftei i
arguments and a few lilts by the at* j I
limeys. Mayor Turner olllcially declar j:
cd the following elected:
Mayor -M. T. Turner. ,
Aldermen? II. W. Crouch. I?. W. |
iviishlon \V. M Wright, I! <1 Kid son
J.iS. 11. White. C. I>. Keriioy.
Major Turner then left the hull a d
t?e council was c.iili-d to;: ihei 1.y j
Mayor protein .I A. I.ott, v. hen \Uo. '?
n? y dean attacked the Imu '.iy of the 11
election. Witnesses were oxaini ed '
to prove ' hat the in.mau -is failed to J
comply with the law, and the council
deemed that the election was illegal
I and another elect ion was ordered to 1c
ne'd in .1 illy.

JOINED THE ANGELS
AGNES TAYLOR HAS GIVEN HER- i
SELF OP TO THEIR KEEPING.
When one, or a family, is called upon
to kiss the rod that smites them In less
than u year it is sad to behold!
On last Sunday afternoon the *weet
Spirit of Agnes Taylor was called
to the Cod who give It. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vastine
Taylor and this is the third daughter
they have lost in less tli m a year, and
they all had reacted Young womanhood
and had bright prospects or long
and happy lives; but it seems that
loath loves a shining mark. And
they all did go about here with sun
shine In their hearts, for they were
all christians who had been washed iu
tin1 blood of the lamb
Miss Agnes bad been in fall.ng
health for sometime, but no one knew j
ihat the end was so near. She v.as
i II lie ted with that dread disease con.'implion.
and whs seen on our streets
ust a few days ago.
ller d-atli was a great surprise
0 her many friends an ac<iuainces, 11
s said that her death was a triumph - i \
mt one. She wanted the watchers to I I.
