Ordinary S. B. Wingfield having set
the election for sheriff for January
17th, the candidates for that position
will soon be announcing.
There have been no announcements
thus far made, but there have been
several well known gentlemen men-
tlond in connection with the-office.
Yesterday there was more or less
talk about the race when It was made
known that the election to fill the un
expired term of Sheriff Wier has been
ordered.
Mr. Clarence Y. Wier, son of the
late sheriff, is being mentioned by
his many friends in connection with
the ofllce. Mr. Wier has the matter
under consideration and will probably
deckle today whether or not he will
make the race. *>
City Marshal Lloyd E. Brooks, who
as formerly sheriff of Madison coun
ty, Is also being mentioned. Mr.
Brooks has not yet decided the ques
tion, but will do so soon.
Mr. M. D. Browning, son of Sheriff 'are contemplating making the race to
Browning, Sheriff Wler’s predeoessor. I announce at once, as the time for a

“The Great Divide” could easily have

Mr. Walter E. Jackson, a popular
member of the Athens police force, is
likewise being talked of in this connec

Mr. Ben H. Klnnehrew. who re

Mr. James A. Suddeth. of Winter

with the race. Several years he serv

Tax Receiver J. H. Dorsey is also
being mentioned for sheriff and his

the race.
It appears that there is to be no

interesting race is promised.

Yesterday morning Minus McQueen,
a young white man from Hall county,
died ill this city after a brief illness
with meninigltis.
McQueen came here a few months
since frpm his home in Hall county
to work for the Moss Manufacturing
Company. While at work there he had
the misfortune to get his hand tangled
up In a machine and lost a thumb This
injury was quite painful, but was not.
of a serious nature and after a few
days his thumb almost healed.
Just about the time he was ready
to go hack to work, he was attacked
by meninigltis and from that time his
life was despaired of. He was given
the best attention but to no avail.
The funeral of Mr. McQueen will be
held this afternoon at three o'clock
at the undertaking parlors of Dorsey
ft Funkensleln and the remains will
be Interred in Oconee cemetery.
Orrin G. Kelley, the young man
from Dublin, who entered the lYiiver
sitv last October and a few days la
tor disappeared, has been located.
His people did not know where he
had gone and wrote to Chancellor
Barrow to learn where he was, if pos
slide. The chancellor could find noth
ing that would lead to a discovery of
the young fellow. The newspapers
took up the quest and as a result he
has been located.
He was found in Camilla, Ga., where
he was at work for a sawmill compa
ny. He said he told a schoolmate he
was going to visit a brother at Vada,
Ga., but that he stopped at Camilla
where he secured a good job, and had
not notified his people of his change
