NEW COUNTY OFFICERS
| ELECTED ON WEDNESDAY
WILSON CARRIED COBB:
UNDERWOOD GOT STATE
McCleskey, Lindley, Owen,
Lecroy and Booth
Winners.
The primary for coumty officers
which was held en Wednesday was
a 8 quiet affair inspite of the extreme
interest in the contest for clerk of
the ceurt, sheriff and tax colleotor.
The perfect weather kept many of
the farmers at home but a good
size vote was gotten out. |
The deepest interest was centered
in the sheriffs race between former
sheriff William McKinney and depu
ty sheriff Lindley and it was late in
the afternoon before the successful
candidate was known. Mr. Lind
ley’s majority was 606.
It was apparent early that the
race for clerk of the court was en
tirely between Virgil McCleskey and
A. H. Talley. Virgil won but the
race was close.
T. H. LeCroy was the successful
candidate among the seven in the
race for tax collector and Mr. Owen
and Mr. Booth were re-elected tax
receiver and coroner regpectively.
There was no contest for ordina
ry, treasurer or surveyor, Judge
Gann, Mr. Shaw and Mr. McCulloch
being re-elected.

New Current Will Soon Be
Available In All Parts
| of The City.
At 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon
steam was turned into the cylinders
of the big engine of the new municipal
electric light plant and in a few min
utes lights were glowing in almost
every part of Mariesta. The plant is
now in permanent operation, although
the pole limes have not been complet
od. Wk s Weing pmshed om thems,
bowever, and it wlil be only a short
time until the new current will be
avaialble in every part of the city.
Although it was far from dark when
the current was switched on to the
street lights, it was only a few min
utes until people all over town were
pointing to the new lights and ex
pressions of pride and smiles of joy
could be seen on every hand.
There is only one disappointment—
the White Way. Those who have
worked so hard to secure this feature
for Marietta were unable to get the
lights installed in time. It was not
their fault, though. It was because it
had bheen decided ot ‘“do the job
right,” as they expressed it, and fix
things permanently before placing the
lights. This will take a lot of hard
work, as all the awnings around the
square have got to come down, and
the sidewalks brought to a uniform
width and level befene the lights are
installed. The sidewalk grade bas
been established by an engineer. The
work of placing the bases for the
lights wil lbegin before the week is
out.
Mr. Early believes that he can place
the plant on a money-making bhasis
in a short time.
