It was with a spirit of friend ship that my opponents and I entered this contest and we finished It in the same way. 1 wish I could personally thank each and every voter who marked a ballot for me, while, for the untiring . efforts of the loyal friends who stood by with encouragement as well as "elbow grease" and made it possible for me to win, I am grateful beyond power of expression.' It has indeed been a pleasure to meet the citizenry of Obion County. Wherever I have gone during my campaign, the wonderful hospitality with which I have met will long live in my memory. At all times, I shall try to servo you as best I know, and it shall be my great effort to render a future service as Register of Obion County which will speak my real apprecia tion for the Democratic nomination you have given me. Sincerely yours, W. J. EDWARDS, Jr. POLITICAL "PUSH." They were looking down Into the depths of the Grand Canyon.

As to the Black Bayou drain and the contract to fill the outlet, about which there has been so much dis turbanqe, the Highway Department, we understand ,has been laboring un der a misapprehension of the facts and conditions. It seems that the i matter has not been fully and prop erly presented to the Department, and hence the delay of the work at Black Bayou. When been given proper attention a meet ing of the citizens at Samburg and the visiting officials was held, on which occasion Messrs. Cochran, Denton and others made some public roads which' in some mysterious man ner Is not to increase taxes, will 're store prosperity.' They -would do better to busy themselves with low- tax and seeing to it that the rail roads are run effeciently with a min ¬ imum of waste.
