ELECTION RESULTS
DEMOCRATS MADE
SWEEPING GAINS
The election passed off Tuesday. Bar
row county cast 447 votes, the regulai
nominees being elected in the county
as well as all over the state.
In H arrow county, the new county of
Peach received 335 votes and 84 against
it. It 1 seems that Peach county has
been defeated in the state. Returns
are coming in. Only 52 counties
had made returns up to the hour of
going to press. In these counties
Peach county received 14,045, and
against it 17,107. If this ratio is kept
np over the state the new county will
lose out by about 9,000 votes.
In the national elections over the
country, the democratic party has
made sweeping gains. While the Unit
ed. States Senate and House are still
republican, the majorities are greatly
decreased.
Williams Cafe Served
Belgian Hare Supper
A representative of the News was
invited to supper at the WillifTnis Cafe
to a Belgian Hare feast and inciden
tally to pass judgment on whether or
notnot it was the best and most pal
atable dish in the world, it being fig
ured that hd was an epicurean of note
Our opinion was that it was equal in
toothesomeness if not in elegance with
ithe best ever elaborated by a celebrated
caterer. That’s our decision.
A' friend of the Williams brothers
had sent this Beginan rabbit on up
from Griffin, Spalding county, the home
of Prophet Snider, saying as how it
was one of the finest dishes ever pre
pared. The City Cafe has a reputa
tion of serving good food, this fact is
known to all tourists—this being the
only cafe between Atlanta and Athens
on the Bankhead Highway-and in
,his instance we think they lived up
to their reputation. A number of oth
er guests were present and all thor
oughly enjoyed the feast.

FROM THE JACKSON HERALD
Mrs. Henry Fite and children spent
the week end in Statham recently, the
guests of Mrs. W. M. Fite.
Mrs. Doss Wilhite arid children were
recent guests of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Shields, in Winder.
The farmers of this section arc sow
ing a large ucreage this fall to oats
and wheat, and this is the proper thing
to do. With a short cotton crop, that
is almost all picked, there was never
a better opportunity for preparing to
harvest a bumper grain crop next
spring. The land is in good condition
for plowing, and an early sowing will
guarantee a greater yield. And a large
grnin crop will mean much to the fi
nancial condition of the people. If
corn is scarce the* oats will come just
at the opportune time, and if the peo
ple of this county will raise enough
wheat to supply bread, they can not
rfealize how many dollars will be sav
ed.
