to appoint one. The name of Col.

Hon. R. R. Jenkins, were placed in
nomination and unanimously elect
ed. Mr. J. W. Fowler was elected'

ed the object of the meeting.
Showed that it was called at the
wish of the people, and had a legal
right to transact business, as- per
call.
They had a second speech from
J. J. Ford, explaining portious of
his first speech, which had fallen
under ^misconstruction, and again
churning that the purpose of. the
meeting resolved itself uuto the
“Court House” question. That re
moval and nothing else was the
real issue before the people.
Col. M. P. Jones made anothor
speech, in which he gave his views
on the Court Honse question, and
named Sumner os the best place
to advance the interests of Worth
County. The Chairman then vacat-
ed the chair, and asked to be as
sured that the present meeting was
legally called, and if the objection
of .the people was to the nominee
of present meeting, or to the fact
that said meeting had transcended
its authority in naming a candidate.
The meeting then declared, by a
rising unanimous vote that the
objection was not to the nominee,
but that previous meeting had
transcended its authority in naming
him, as it had not been 'called foi
that purpose. ',. ”
Mr. W. L. Lane then moved that,
a committee of three be appointed
by the chair to select the name ot a
suitable man to * be presented, as,
