The very best of I order was maintained throughout • the' entire day. I The county vote shows about 12,700 votes-polled—about 100 less ! than that of August 3. I There was quite a great deal of ' attention given to various offices, ! and especially wa s that interest ' strong in certain county offices, Itax assessor, cotton weigher and ; supervisors. „ The returns* from state offices are incomplète, and nothing de pendable can be received at ! the jiour of closing the form for to day's issue. From the returns received, P. E. Matthews leads L. Q. Stone for penitentiary trustee from the 3rd district, of which Alcorn is a part. Stokes V. Robertson appears to be leading his opponent; Chas. J. Moore for revenue agent. Wood leads Brown in the race, for land commissioner. There arty many counties in the state yet to report which may al ter the positions as shown above. 'In fact there is nothing definite, and it is presumed that it will be probably tontoyrow before any thing reliable will be given out. The vote throughout Aieorn county held its own, each box pos sibly falling behind a few votes. Interest was high at every prê chât, and the voters exercised their right of suffrage in every race. J. B. Splann was elected over A. K. Babb by a majority of only fifty-six votes, malting the second member of the house-of/represen tatives in the lineup with R. B. Cotton, who was nominated in the first primary on Aug. 3. Hubert Brewster defeats Geo. Huff by a handsome majority, and is nominated Alcorn county's cotton weigher for tfie term 1916 1919. Clay MeClamroch leads over his opponent, T. H. Phillips, for tax assessor, winning by a small majority. The supervisor's race was one of special interest, especially in each district, voters in the various districts being very anxious for their man to win. From the 1st district, S. B. Martin was re-elected over J. J. Bell by a splendid majority, while in the 3rd district the win-' •ner beat his opponent by the nar row margin of five votes. Following is the result over the county : For Land Commissioner— Henry C. Wood . M. A. Brown. For Revenue Agent— Stokes V. Robertson . Chas."J. Moore .. For Prison Trustee— P. E. Matthews . L. Q.

Corinth cot ton merchants usually look for the first bale of Aieorn county cotton anywhere between August 25 and October 1, but the average time for the appearance of the first bale being about Sept. 15. Other towns, located further down the state, are reporting the first, but we have some twenty days yet. However, the record may be broken and the first bale is liable to bob up any day. The crop is reported normal, and the cotton season is due to open soon and fast. People interested in cotton are guessing that the first bale will bring a fairly good price. \ CANNING CLUB WORK Miss Brown asks that the pres idents of the Canning Clubs will each call a meeting of their clubj discuss and make difinite plans for the Fair, and find out the number of labels needed in your Club.
