The Atlanta correspondent of
th« Maoon Telegraph and Messen
ger says a private letter received
there from one of the foremost
democrats in the Third Congres
sional district states that B. F.
Bell, the republican candidate for
congress, has organized the negro
voto more thoroughly than was
ever before known in the district,
and will give Judge Crisp a close
call unless tho democrats will come
out to the polls and vote. There
was no apprehension expressed,
however, of the defeat of the dem
ocratic candidate.
The Montezuma Record bns a
few nice words to say about tho
Mechanics’ new hose reel, as fol
lows; We became attached to a
pretty four wheel hose reel made
by Summers A Murphey, carriage
makers, of Barneivillc, for the
Mechanic Fire Company of Ameri-
cus, on account of this association.
It is named “C. F. Crisp,” and
has a photograph of Judge Crisp
mounted on it. On a card attach
ed to it are these words: “ Saved
by a ‘scratch’ from a $150,000
Arc.” Wo hope the “C. F. Crisp”
will come out of many contests
victoriously.
