The CoWgresBional Record once more weights down our exchange table. Mr'. P. T. McCutehoon, the clever editor of the Franklin News, is now editor of tile New- nnn News, in which venture his many friends wish him success. Mr. Robert II.

THE WHITE PRIMARY. GOOD MION SKLKCTKD FOIL ALL OFFICES. Their Nomination will be Unaui- moualy Ratified Next Wednesday. The city white primary passed off smoothly last Friday, and there was a good vote east. The election managers from the various wards were as follows: Let—J. it. Barber; 2d—J. K. Davis; 8d—W. K. Fielder; 4th— A. O. Cobb; 5th—T. M. Pace. Tho selection of such a board of managers always insures the fair conduct of such a primary. Tho only oflice for which there was any competition was that of City Clerk, for which there wore three good entries—Col. J. C. Walker, Mr. Danio Roberts and ’Squire J. A. Wilson. The- last named gentleman did not enter the race until late, and after Messrs. Roberts and Walker bad made a thorough canvass of the town, so that everybody recog nized the fact that the race lay between the twp younger gentle men. And it was a close race 1 Col. Walker came in at the home-stretch with only 12 ma jority, the votes standing as fol lows : Walker 127; Roberts, 115; Wilson, 10. The. successful candidate is olio of our rising young lawyers, and there is no young man in town with more friends or bright er prospects than “Jim” Walker. His opponent,Mr. Danio Roberts, is likewise one of our very best young men, substantial and pro gressive,wliom everybody knows, respects and likes. If would bo hard to find two young men more ovonly matched in popular favor, and botii dosorve every good tiling said about them. In tho 1st Ward, Mr. O. W. Smith was selected for Council man—as ho well deserved—with out opposition. Ho is ono of Oe- dartown’s most successful busi ness men, and an able financier whoso work in the Council will bo of ospocinl value to tho city. Mr. Thos. J. Griffin, a success ful contractor and builder and a progressive gentleman,' was se lected without opposition as Councilman from tho 8d Ward. Mr. A. R. Goliglitly, one of tho 4th Ward’s cleverest citizens and a levol-hondod gentleman, was also complimented by selection without opposition as Councilman from that ward. Messrs. R. A. Adam?, W. O. Bunn and J. E. Good were se lected for members of the School Board without opposition, and it would bo impossible to find three men better qualified for the place. Tlie following members of tho | Executive Committee were re elected without opposition, ns Tiik Standard suggested last I week: 1st—J. W. Barr; 2d—W. ; W. Mundys 8d—J. W. Adamson; llli—W. 1<\ Turner; 5th—S. F. j Marshall. It is a good committee, and Could not lie improved upon. Tile result of the primary is I loyally accepted by our people, and its action will be ratified Unanimously at the p611s next Wednesday. Don’t fail to como out next Wednesday, 19th inst., nnd cast your vote for the primary iiomi- liiees. While they will undoubt edly have no opposition, they are nil good men and deserve n full vote. Tin's iss-the last week of work for this session of the Georgia Legislature. ' Mr. and Mrs. I). B. Freeman, of Cnrtersville, celebrated tho twenty-fifth nnniversary of their marriage by a pleasant gather ing at their homo Saturday eve ning. Mr. Freeman, who is now one of the editors of the Oarters- ville Oourant, was for several years engaged in the newspaper business in Cednrtown, and he and his “better nine-tenths” have a iiost of friends here who congratulate them heartily on their silver anniversary and hope they may live to celebrate their golden. The retirement of Editor R. L. Moye from the management of the Outhbert Liberal-Enterprise removes ono of the cleverest, most enterprising and ablest newspaper men from the ranks of Georgia weekly journalism. Ho has just rounded out a highly successful four^yeara’ lease of tho Liberal-Enterprise, ,nnd has made botii money and reputation. His duties as Mayor of Outhbert and the demands of a good law practice caused him to leave his “best love,” but clever Bob Moye will bo long remembered by the craft as one of its brightest, best nnd most popular members in Georgia.
