OOI.UKIt, W. A. I’ROl.'T AM) W. M. HOWARD * ELECTED. The nomination for three aider men and one dispensary commis sioner was held Saturday last and it was a big land slide, a veritable Waterloo, the ent ire citizens ticket winning by the biggest majorities on record. From the time the tickets were put in the race two weeks ago, active work was done by advo cates of each ticket, and up to the day of the nomination claims were made by friends of both sides that their favorites would win. Some few supporters were so con findent as to predict a majority of 100 for the Citizens ticket, and while it was generally believed this ticket would be successful, none were prepared for such over whelming majorities. The one battle cry was a one man ticket against the Citizens ticket and the count of the little white ballots shows how the peo ple felt about it. The vote was more than three to one, the biggest majority being 188, out of a little over 800 votes polled. The following is the vote in full: FOR ALDERMEN. Otis A. Murphey 256 J.C. Collier 230 W. A. Prout 229 R. A. Stafford 98 J. 11. Blackburn 85 I>. H. Muddux 68 FOR DISPENSAY COMMISSIONer. \V. M. Howard 200 Z. T. Evans 114 THE ELECTION. The election 1 was held Tuesday but comparatively a small vote was polled, as the nomination set tled the matter. The new officials will be installed soon. Barnesville is to be congratulated on the way things are to he managed for another twelve months. Sad Accident at Milner. A sad accident occurred at Mil ner Sunday morning, in which a young man was seriously injured by the passenger train due in Barnesville from Atlanta at 10 o’clock. Mr. Nat Crawley, son of Mr. J. Lee Crawley, was walk ing along the track, unconscious of the rapid approach of the train. It struck him, knocking him several feet, breaking his left arm in two places, making several severe gashes on his head and neck and otherwise injuring him.

The Macon correspondent of The Constitution, in Monday’s issue, has the following about the work of Prof. Jere M. Pound, su perintendent of the public schools of the city of Macon, which will be read with interest by all our readers: “Prof. Jere M. Pound, superin tendent, gives notice that the public schools of the city of Macon and county of Bibb will open Monday, September 22, The books for registration of pupils will be opened on Monday, .Sep tembers. All new pupils applying for admission into the schools must present physician’s certifi cate of successful vaccination.” The indications are that the next term will be the most suc cessful in the quarter of a century history of the schools. The ad ministration of Superintendent Pound has been popular, satis factory and a great success in every respect. The board of ed ucation feels that they selected wisely and well when they elected Prof. Pound as the successor of Superintendent Abbott, when that gentleman resigned to accept a chair in the faculty of the State Normal school at Athens.
