The last two were evidently
meant tor Mr. R. S. Windsor, but
had to be counted as caat.
By this It will be seen that Mr.
Dunn led Mr. Callaway by 84, and,
that unleas the oountry precincts
gave the latter great gains that J.
B. Dunn would be the man.
Tha vote In the 16th stood:
Sims, S3; Windsor,25; Callaway, 2;
Wesson, 0; Dunn, 0.
In the 28th: Windsor, 21; Calla
way, 5; Dunn, 4; Wesson, 1;
Sims, 1.
Others were heard from, and it
was estimated that Dunn had a
lead of SO, with three preclnota to
hear from.
These are the old 26th, the
new 26th and the 29tb. The first
of these la .claimed by Callaway;
the second by Dunn, and the third
said to be in favor of Wesson.
This would yet give Dunn the
race, if the estimate from the other
praolota are right, and it may be

the place.
It was a oloee nee, and Mr. Dunn
gets the place by a email plurality.
