Remember
Long-street and Farrow Have
Gome to no Agreement.
General and Mrs. James Longstreet
have returned to Washington after
spending the holidays at their home
near the city. Thfey had a very pleas
ant visit. Both seem to be enjoying
their stay in Washington, both being
apparently in the best of health and
the enjoyment of life.
Nothing has yet been done about tbe
appointment of a postmaster at Gaines
ville. Colonel Farrow and General
Longstreet have had quite a contro
versy about the matter, but what the
outcome of it will be no one can say,
but it is believed by many that Colonel
Farrow will be appointed postmaster
some time during tbe present month.
Colonel Farrow says he will not have
the office here if to get it he must in
dorse Mr. J. E. W belch el General Long-
street’s son-in-law, for the LaGrange
office. General Longstreet is appar
ently immovable in his position with
reference to Mr. Wlielchel, and does
uot propose to give up the fight until
his son-in-law is landed in the La-
Grange office.
General Longstreet is backed by
Judge Gaston, and other local republi
cans, it is said, while Colonel Farrow
has the indorsement of the Johnson-
Angier contingent, better known as
the “machine.,’ Both seem very deter
mined and a bitter fight is on. In the
meantime Judge Winburn, whose term
of office expired December 22d, is
handling the office with his accus
tomed efficiency, and does not seem
worried over the row which keeps him
in a nice job.
New Officers Elected.
Mayor Gaston, and aldermen Castle
berry, Hynds and Little were sworn
in at a meeting of the city council last
Saturday night: The meeting* was
called to order at 8 o’clock. A short

and the new officials took the oath of
office.
Immediately after the new officers
were sworn in the new conncil went

city for the ensuing year, which re
