attendance at the baptizing and
also to hear him preach.
After hearing him, we returned
to Allensville to hear Bro. Boone,
his subject was, What is

of the Commissioners. tii
Mr. Lunsford called the me&U
ing to order and asked Mr. M. &
Winstead.to preside, with Messrs.'
R. L. Harris and Harvey G. ClaJ
ton as secretaries. Every precinct
was represented. j J"
Before going into the nominii
tions resolutions were called fpr
and Mr. L. M. Carlton' offered
resolution endorsing the National
and State officers and instructing
for a State wide primary for all
offices. It was right to the point
and left no uncertain sound as
how the Democrats of this County
stand on the matter. The resolu
tion was adopted unanimously. .
The Chairman announced that
nominations were in order and
that the Commissioners would fie
named first. This was a reversal
of the usual order of businessas
it has been customary to begin at
the top with the candidates for the
Legislature. Quite a number M
good men were placed in nomina
tion. Mr. Carlton, in a speech f
about five minutes gave the' parfy
some very sound and wholesome
advise, naming Mess C, B. Biroos

A number of others were placed
in nomination, the vote resulting
in naming Mess. Joe E. Montague,
E. B. Reade and F. D. Hamlet."

Brooks and Jno. Sy Clayton were
placed in nomination, Mr. Brooks
receiving the nomination.
For the Legislature Dr. E. J.
Tucker and Mr. C. A. Whitfield
were placed in nomination. Dr.
Tucker asked that his name be
withdrawn, but the convention
was in no mood for this and the
ballot was called for and Dr. Tuck
er was nominated by a large ma
jority. After the vote was an
nounced Dr. Tucker arose, but
just at this juncture a motion was
made that his nomination be made
unanimous which was adopted.
However, he stated to them that
he could not accept the nomina
tion and asked that some other
name be selected. Friends from all
over the house made for him and
would not hear to his declining,
and at this stage the convention
adjourned.
Before adjourning a motion was
made instructing for Senator Lee
S. Overman to succeed himself,
which was adopted. Also motion
instructing the delegates to the
Senatorial Convention which will
meet at Berea for Mr. Currin,
who has been nominated by Gran
ville county for this senatorial district.
It was a very harmonious con-.
vention and augers f well for the
ticket. It is a good one we, doubt
if the party has ever , put out a
stronger or better ticket, , and ev
erybody confidently expects to see
the entire ticket elected.

'It was my pleasure to accompany
Mrs. Richard to Trinity church
yesterday Sept. 13th to hear Bro.
Boone. Richard had not been to
this church in about fourteen vears.
When last there it was badly
weather, beaten, poorly kept and
poorly attended, and Richard was
surprised to note so much im
provement along all lines. This
church has been painted and the
floors and benches are clean and
inviting. I was told that further
improvements are to be made at
once by enlarging, carpeting the
floors. There was a large attend
ance out to hear Bro. Boone yes
terday morning. He lectured on
missions and while I believe many
of his hearers had rather heard
him preach about saving souls
without money and without price,
yet they all had to admit that he

Trinity church has a singing
class conducted by Mr. Geo. Spach
and their singing is the best I have
heard in quite awhile. I hope this
class will come up some Sunday
and sing for us at Allensville, as I
notice there are a great many girls
in this class and we are awfully
scarce of girls around here and I
know the boys would be delight
ed. However, I notice one mistake
those Trinity people are making.
That is the time they are meeting.
Some reached the church at about
half after ten, and about one-third
were there when the services start
ed at eleven, and the others came
in one at the time until about
twelve. People who are late get
ting to, church get nothing out of
the service and besides are very
annoying to both' preacher and
those who want to hear. It does
seem that young people, and the
late crowd are the young people,
could reach church by eleven
o'clock. Poor Richard.

Austrian opposition in Galicia has
been given its death blow. The re
treat to east Prussia has been con

army, with heavy artillery, is ap

Austrians in preparation for an at
tack on the main Russian forces
who are assuming positions previ
ously selected.1 Fighting is now in
progress. The Austrians are still
retreating in great disorder. The
roads are 'strewn1' with rifles and
other personal equipment has been
thrown. aside in their flight. Their
artillery mired in the mud. There
were found traces of horses, har

showing how completely the Aus
trians were panic stricken. Rus

points to cut off the Austrian retreat.
