Public of the 753rd district. 1 His resignation was handed in to Ordinary Jones Monday. Judge Barrow has filled the of fice during his incumbancy cbly and well and has tried to admin-) ister justice in an equitable man- j ner to all parties litigant in his court, and has made many friends who regret to know that old age and personal interests force him to resign. We learn that a petition has been sent by the business men here to the grand jury asking that they recommend Mr. James E. Hurst for appointment to the office. Mr. Hurst is well quali fied for the place and his ap pointment, (which will no doubt be made) will give general satis faction. Polls Not Opened. There was nojprimary election held at this voting precinct Wednesday, state or other kind. Not once during the day were the polls opened in order that ond might vote, and that’s not all—no one seemed to worry. Judge Barrow only returned on the noon train from a trip to Boston and was too late to open them up. As we see it, there were no arrangements made to pay for holding the election and we glory in the spunk of people who refuse to do this kind of work gratis, So there was no primary in Cairo—that’s a fact. Protracted Meeting Closed. The protracted meeting at the Methodist church which has been in progress for the past three weeks was brought to a close last night. The ministers have been very faithful in their efforts during this meeting and many earnest and eloquent sermons delivered. While there were no new ac quisitions to the church at the time of going to press, yet the meeting h a s unquestionably been of great good to the whole people of the town, members of the church or otherwise. Rev. Budd left for his home at Blakely yesterday, While here he has endeared himself to all by his eloquent and forceful preaching, and will always be kindly remembered. To the local pastor, R.ev. Re viere, the appreciation of the entire membership of his church should be extended for three weeks of as earnest, faithful work as it has ever been our pleasure to witness.
