WILL TAKE PLACE IN THB CITY COUNCIL
JANUARY FIRST.

Were Nominated for Aldermen.
The True Storv of Mr. Cohn, Mr. Turkey and
Three Doien Eggs.
There’s a bit of a story going 'lie
rounds in which an esteemed fellow-
townsmandlsnres as hero and victim of
his own aiwuit-mindedness, said hero
and victim being none other than Mr.
S. Cohn, who is having to stand the
jests that are being poked at him from
all sides.
It all happened on [last Satuiday
night. Mr. Cohn had been through a
hard day‘8 work aud was hurrying
homeward at Bnpper time with visions
of a hot, smoking meal dancing before
his mind’s eye. His blaok derby sat
jauntily on one side of his head, nnd he
walked rapidly in response to the-clamor
from the inner man. Pursuant to in-
struotiou from the good wife at home,
he carried with great care in his two
hands a paper sack containing three
dozen fresh eggs.
Turning ont of Broad street at.Jack-
son, our friend started in the direction
of the post office. He was paying no
heed to what transj ired about him, His
thongbts were his own.. He did not .-ee
a giocer’s delivery wagon that came
rattling past—more’s the pity, in view
of subsequent events.
The wagon passed close to Mr. Cohn,
though he didn’t know it at the time.
The vehicle was one of the ordi
nary kind, with a oanvas canopy
over the top and sides, bnt
open at both ends. At a most in
opportune moment, a big tnrkey gob
bler that had been for a hair hour or
more straggling in the bottom of the
wagon to gain its freedom, succeeded
in breaking the cord that Lonnd i s feet.
With a gobble of delight, it spread its
big wings and flew with a great flurry
Ont of the back of the wagon
At that very instant, onr friend Cofan
chanced to be in exactly the wrong
place. He wasn’t dreaming of the im
pending catastrophe when twenty
pounds of harrying, rejoioing turkey
struck him squarely in the faoe, nearly
knocking him down and causing him to
give vent to a grunt of pained surprise.
As was perfectly natural, he threw both
hands to his head to catch his derby
hat, which was in imminent danger of
annihilation.
Ah, these absent minded men I
Friend Cohn forgot all about those three
dozen eggs. When his two bands flew
to the top of his head, the eggs went
too. Then “the thing happened."
Every egg in the bag was crushed into
an impromptu omelette from the force
of the impact. Hot one escaped.
Thv result was most disastrous to
Mr. Oohn. The thiok mixture spread
itself over his head, shoulders and body
as though it had been applied with a
paint brush. Ho part of his clothing
From Tuesday’s Daily Herald.
Mr. Joseph 8. Davis will succeed
Mayor S. B. Brown as official head of
the mnniclpal government.
There will be bnt one other chauge in
the City Council. Alderman J. R
Whitehead will retire after long and
honorable service as a member of the
mnniclpal governing body, and will be
succeeded by Mr. Jos. Ebrlloh.
Yesterday's primary was a very qniet
affair. The polls were open for ten
hoars, from 7 a. m. till 5 p. m„ and dar
ing that time 889 votes were polled.
As noted in these columns yesterday,
there was no oo iteit over the mayoralty,
Mr. J. S. Davis being unopposed.

N. F. Tift, D. Fleming and Jos. Ehrlioh

In the aldermanio board on the first
Monday in Jannary, and there was a

Amazement and indignation made
Mr. Oohn dnmb for a moment, and he
could only stand still and shake in im
potent rage, bnt he recovered the power
of speech in the twinkling of an eye
when the negro driver poked his head
out of the front of the wagon and ex
claimed in an injured tone, “Say, Mis
ter, why didn* you ketoh dat tnrkey fer

might not look well in print. ’

MRS. BONINE’S TRIAL.
From the above it is seen that Mr.
Rawlins led the ticket (Mr. Davis ex-
oepted) by thirty votes, there being bnt;
twelve votes between Mr. Joues and
Mr. Ehrlich.
Daring the day it was the general be
lief that Mr. D. Fleming would be
elected, and many parties were heard to
express the opinion that he wonld lead

sioned gennine surprise in some qnarters.

therefore, are well equipped for the da

Albany, Ga., Nov. 26,1901.
To the Oltlr-onn of Albany:
Whereas, at a mass meeting of the
white oltlzens of Albany, held on Jnne
18, 1901, an organization was effeoted
for the pnrpoee of hereafter nominating
by white primary elections candidates
for mayor and aldermen, to be voted for
at the annual olty election, due on first
Monday In December of eaoh year,
And, whereas, at said meeting an Ex
ecutive Committee of seven was appoint
ed, with the undersigned as ohairman,
with Instruction and fall authority to
oall a primary election as above set

ful rnlos and regulations for the holding
of snoh election,
And, whereas, in accordance there
with, a whito primary election was
oalled and held Nov. 25th, )n6t., for the
nomination of a candidate for mayor,
and three candidates fur aldermen, to
be voted for for election at the general
election on the first Monday in Decem

the frlottou and objeotionablo f'.u'ores

The people of Albany aro to be ooi.-
gratulated on having adopted this sys

and without contemplation o' tho gen

it.
Respectfully,

Ohairman.
