MliHIdtatHU. , 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. Another Marriage. Mcntetutns Record- Mr. Judson L.
