A SAD MIXUP. c o ■Si ONLTN'WO changes WILL TAKE PLACE IN THB CITY COUNCIL JANUARY FIRST. Mr. Jos. S. Davis Will Succeed Mayor Brown, and Mr. Jos. Ebrllcb Will Sit In Alderman Whitehead's Chair—In Yesterday's Pri mary Messrs. Rawlins, Jones and Ehrlich 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. Mossrs. W. W. Rawlins, R L. JoneB, N. F. Tift, D. Fleming and Jos. Ehrlioh offered for the three vacancies to occur In the aldermanio board on the first Monday in Jannary, and there was a sharp contest between these five gentle men. The count of ballnts i-esterday even ing showed the election ot Messrs. Rawlins, Jones and Ehrlich, official vote was as follows: Tho . h8f) for mayor: FOR ALDERMEN : W. W. Rawlins R L. Jones Jos. Ehrlich N. F. Tift D Fleming 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 me I" What Mr. Oohn said in reply might not look well in print. ’ The tnrkey was not reoaptured.

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 the tioket. The resnlt, therefore, occa sioned gennine surprise in some qnarters. The action ot the primary will be rat ified on next Monday, Deo. 2nd, and the Oonnoll of 1002 will be made np aa fol lows: Mayor: Jos. S. Davis. Aldermen: A. J. Lipplrt. H. A. Tar ver. 8am’l.

Both, therefore, are well equipped for the da lles they are to take op next Jannary. The Story of the Treiedy at She Told It tn Attorney Gardner.
