PLEASANT Hitt M. E. CHURCH

time.
Rev. John C. Harris, the newly appointed pu. tor ...II have charge and preach at 10:30 a. m. and at 7:00 p. m. A request has been made for a Sabbath School, which will be held at 2:30 p. in. Come
works, got theirs in and
some who have never been known to vote anything but the Democratic ticket at the elections, got into the humor of the affair and voted too. The “float” vote element was exceedingly strong. They were herded In and voted like cattle. Only one of the entire lot was challenged. He was turned down once but got hack in line and got his ballot into
the box the second trip down.
Immediately after the voting for Congressional delegates the balloting for the State delegates began. In this election the vote fell off about 150 due to the fact that there was not so keen a fight and so the money necessary to vote the “floats” was not forthcoming. And then too a few of the regular G. O. P. members got tired of the vote in the first election. In all 607 votes were cast. NOTES OF THE CONVENTION. George \V. Bayne, of Russellville, and Joe Dorsett, of Cloverdale, were the only Alaxwrll delegates elected I
in Putnam county.
Several from the out districts were in town that night to see how the
battle went.
Policeman John Grimes, who was ' one of the chief “workers” at the I polls for the Gulley crowd that night j complained that the Dunbar men ! robbed him of several votes. John ' said that after he would get his man fixed up and started to the ballot box a Dunbar man would slip in ahead and change ballots with the voter. John’s wail was that the “Maxwell crowd is getting too much
of the float vote.”
Hiram Callender was up town at near 6 o’clock that night carrying a shot gun. When asked what he was doing with the gun he said that he
understood that there was going to | children may learn of Jesus and his he trouble at the convention and works. that he was going prepared to vote, j yi r Harris, In coming out here,

IN MEAIOKIAM. Roxie Annlce, infant daughter of Flora and Isaac Odell, was born October 27, 1708, and died February 19. 1908 at the tender age of 3 months and 22 days. She was a bright and cheerful little child, and was the fond joy of the hearts of papa, mamma, little brothers and sister. All was done to save her but of j no avail far the Lord hath said, 1 “Suffer little children to come unto | me. and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” And now we say farewell to baby for we feel assured that she is at rest with the angels in that sweet bye and bye. So rest dear baby rest, God called thee home, He thought It host. This lovely bud, so young, so fair, Taken from us all so soon. Was only put on earth to show How fair a flower.
