PRETTIES^ WE HAVE YET SHOWN. 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. E. EL Kimbrough,' 187. 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.

Little, is a voung man who has many friends who predict that he will make an excellent representative on the city council.
