BRIDGES-AINSWORTH
WINNERS IN ELECTION
One of the most hotly contested
off-year elections ever held in
Blakely occured Tuesday.
There was a triangular race for
two places on the city council to
succeed Messrs. J. 0. Bridges and
R. C. Singletary, whose term expires
December 31st.
Mr. Bridges was a candidate for
re-election, but Mr. Singletary de
clined to run. The other two candi
dates were Messrs. H. B. Ainsworth
and L. B. Fryer.
The vicinity of the polls were
thronged during the election hours
from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. with partisans
of the various candidates and earn
est workers among both men and
women brought in every voter that
could be persuaded to cast a ballot.
The contest resolving itself into
an effort to defeat Mr. Bridges by
partisans of the other two gentlemen
—Mr. Bridges’ friends resorted to
single shotting to save their favorite
and 116 of them scratched the name
of both the other candidates. This
landed the victory for Mr. Bridges
and his friends were jubilant.
The votes counted out 231 for
Bridges, 215 for Ainsworth and 187
for Fryer.
MR. BRIDGES GIVES THANKS.
To the Voters of City of Blakely:
My vocabulary is entirely inade
quate to put into words my grateful
appreciation for the loyal support of
my friends in the city election of last
Tuesday. To the friends who ex
pressed their right of suffrage in my ■
favor bT'affi eveiTastingly indebted.
To my friends who did not support
me I have only a most affectionate
personal regard. I shall endeavor,
as I have in the past, to live a life
that will demand the respect of an
unbiased mind. J. 0. BRIDGES.
DR. GILLAM’S DATE CHANGED.
Dr. Ralph Gillam requests that
announcement be made that he will

JUDGE J. N. EVANS DEAD.
Mr. James N. Evans, n aged and
highly esteened citizen of Early
county, passed away last Friday
night about 10:30 o’clock, at the
home of his niece, Mrs. Ida Lewis,
in Damascus.
Mr. Evans was 88 years old last
February. He was never married.
He was a member of the Missionary
Baptist Church for forty five years.
His remains were interred in the
Liberty Hill cemetery Saturday, Rev.
Larkin Crumbley conducting the
funeral services.
Some years ago he served a term
as Ordinary of Early County and
the records show neat and pains
taking care on his part. Through
this service he acquired the title of
Judge Evans.
County Commissioner W. J. Col
lier is a nephew of the deceased.
Uncle Jimmie was diminutive of
stature but had a big heart and was
a man of stalwart integrity. His
long life was full of thoughtful kind
ness for others. We feel sure he
has received the Master’s plaudit,
“Well done, thou good and faithful
servant.”
AN EXPLANATION.
Due to the fact that our Mr. A. T.
Fleming is seriously ill and has gone
to a hospital in Dothan for treat
ment and perhaps an operation, the
News is compelled to greet its read
ers in an abbreviated form this week.
An effort was made to obtain a sub
stitute operator, but so far we have
not succeeded. We hope to greet
you full size next week.
