IS Non TOPIC
; Aniouacemcnt ol Various Candidates
Causes Situation to Become In
teresting In Baldwin County.
With the annonneement of a number
of candidates for the various offices in
Baldwin county comes the question of
holding the county primary. There
are many adherents to both sides of the
question, several contending for an
early primary and others wanting it
deluy«d until the state election.
The state primary cannot be hold
until after the first week tn August
and many think it would be best to
hold the countv primary later in the
season. However, it will be some time
yet before the matter is determined,
but in the meantime it would not be
surprising if a county primary should
be called as early as the first of May.

tery grounds recently and there will be
no halt in the work, according to state
ments from those in charge.

donate such a token and the assurance
that it will be weil taken care of by
the city is worth something There are
severs. 1 people, no doubt, who are quite
able to establish & memorial of this kind

short time some will respond to the call
for the fountains.

ing the order hens.
