Judge J. B. Gaston was re-elected
Mayor of Gainesville Tuesday by a
majority of 52 votes over his demo
cratic opponent, Col. H.* H. Dean.
-The election passed off quietly,
though both sides were active and did
faithful work. The best energies of
both sides were put forth and Judge
Gaston won after a hard light.
Considering the fact that Colonel
Dean entered the race just eight days
before the election, and after a large
number of citizens were pledged to
Judge Gaston, his race was a remark
able one, and he deserves the hearty
congratulation of his friends on his
magnificent fight.
From the time the polls opened Tues
day morning until they closed at night
the voting was lively, and it was a
matter of uncertainty who was elected
until the yotes were counted. Both
sides claimed a majority until the an
nouncement was made • that Judge
Gaston had won by fifty-three votes,
when Colonel Dean's supporters gra
ciously yielded and retired.
Judge Gaston’s friends, headed by a
brass band, escorted him to his home
where he was enthusiastically cheered
and called on for a speech. He ^re
sponded in his happiest manner and
pledged himself to give the city the
best administration in his power.
Several other speeches were made,
after which the crowd serenaded others
of their friends and disbanded.
In the contest/for aldermen in the
second ward, Mr. Ed F. Little defeated
Mr. E. E. Kimbrough by a majority of
163 votes. Mr. Kimbrough came out
of the race several days before the
election but his friends induced him to
allow the use of his name and he re-
ceiyed a very complimentary vote.
The following is the official vote:
FORMA YOB.
J. B. Gaston, 289.
H. H. Dean, 237.
FOB ALDERMEN.
First ward—Z. T. Castleberry, 528.
Second ward—Ed F. Little, 350.

Third ward—-J. G. Hynds, 533.
MAYOR GASTON.
Judge J. B. Gaston, who was re
elected to succeed himself, is one of
the wealthiest citizens of Gainesville.
He was elected in January to fill the
unexpired term of Mr. John A. Smith,
who resigned. Judge Gaston has been
United States Commissioner for several
years, and is one of the most prominent
republicans in northeast Georgia.
ALDERMAN CASTLEBERRY.
Mr. Zt T. Castleberry, alderman from
the first ward, is president of the First
National Bank, and is a wealthy citizen.
He has never been in politics and never
takes an active interest in political
affairs. Mr. Castleberry has been a
successful business man, and will
doubtless make a good alderman.
ALDERMAN LITTLE,
The alderman from the second ward,
Mr. Ed F. Little, is a voung man who
has many friends who predict that he
will make an excellent representative
on the city council. He has an ambi
tion to do his whole duty in every
thing he undertakes, and doubtless he
will put every energy forth to serve
the people to the best of his ability.
