Interest Is being manifested in the elec- tion for mayor and council which is to be It was orig- inally intended to have two tickets in the | field, but the present feeling among the citizens seems to be toward a non-partisan ticket with D. R. B. Detrick as mayor. Tue interest in the election will be in the makeup of the council, as there are quite a number of citi£ens willing to act. Among those spoken of for the council are W. H. Mannakee, A. H. Kinnear, W. E. Dulin, Geo. Peter, J. H. Fishback, W. M. Terrell, M. Dorian and Thos. R. Martin. A poll of the town shows about fifty votes, with the democrats slightly in the majority. Mr. J. H. Fishback has written to State Senator Tathott tor a copy of the charter, and when it is received a meeting of the citizens will be held to formulate plans for the election. The charter cails for four councilmen, and it Is now proposed that at a non-partisan meeting eight persons be named and two ballots taken. The two persons receiving the lowest number of votes on the first ballot to be dropped, and the two lowest on the second ballot, this will leave the requir- number called for in the charter. The ticket will then be brought before the voters as the caucus nomination. There will be no other ticket in the field unless someone wishes to run independently. Rev. J. T. Marshall, the recently called pastor of the Warner Memorial Church, ar- rived here with his family on Thursday and ts located in the parsonage. Itev.
