CLARKE’S LEAD
315 IN COUNTY
Hodges has nearly 1,000 Majori
ty-—Coffman, Cook, Raney and
Casey Carry Jackson.
Senator Jan>es P. Clarke, upon
returns from 32 out of 33 pre
cincts, has a majority in Jack
son of 315 over Kirby and the
precinct yet to be heard from
will make little change in this
lead.
For Secretary of State, Earle
W. Hodges has a majority of
938 over Henry Downing.
For Superintendent of Public
Instruction George B. Cook has
carried the county by 226 votes
over D. T. Rogers.

T. J. Raney has carried the
county by 189 votes over T. E.

For Congress, W. A. Oldfield
has a lead of 620 votes over Tom
Campbell and has practically
doubled the latter’s vote.
The race for prosecuting at

concerned, has been close, Cas

votes over Williamson.

COUNTY CLOSE
EOR TREASURER
WTith Chances Favoring Camp,
Who Has Lead ctf Thirty-Six
McLain Has Probably De
feated Melville.
With thirty precincts, out of
thirty-three, reported, and one
of the missing not having held
an election, every contest for
county office is settled unless it
be that of treasurer, with John
H. Camp leading" by 36 votes,
over J M. Ivy, who comes in
second and J. I. Hasting so close
behind that the order of the
candidates is not finally settled.
The only other contest that is
close is the race for county
judge, wherein W. D. McLain
has an apjparently safe lead of
42 votes over John Melville and
has doubtless won the nomina
J. F. McCuistion has defeated
Abe Ballew on present returns
by 233 votes; W. M. Shaver is
459 votes ahead of R. T. Sim
mons, who ran second; W .A.
Bowman’s lead over H- L. Lam
bert, his nearest opponent for
county superintendent, is 381,
W. H. Nolen has won the coron
er’s nomination by 143 votes
over Henry Grant and the road
improvement district has a ma
jority of almost 400 .
McDougal School House re
turns were received late, giving
Ivy 21, Camp 2, Shuford 2, Hast
ing 7, which reduces Camp’s
lead to 17.

376 MAJORITY AND
KEEPS GROWING
I
Ths old game bird crows because Jackson county voters have
recognized the need and now ask a system of roads, in keeping
with our times, the demands of the traffic, the needs of the peo
ple.
400 MAJORITY
FOR ROAD SYSTEM
Road Improvement District
Wins Overwhelming Approv
al of District’s Voters.
With a present majority of
376 for a road improvement dis
trict of the county, not including
Glaize and Barren townships,
that is almost certain to be in
creased to about 400 when the fi
nal returns are in, the voters of
Jackson county have come
squarely forward in support of
a system of roads adequate to
the county’s needs and embraced
jin a proposed system of 193
' miles of improved highways.
This vote is an advisory one
and merely instructs our repre
sentatives in the legislature to
secure the passage of an act cre
ating this improvement dis
i trict for the purpose named.

To All Interested In Vocal Music
There is a large number of
men and women in Jackson coun
ty who are interested in vocal
music- These interested parties
live in different sections of the
county. From what 1 have been
able to ascertain thus far, this
county has no organization of
its singers. It has organized
bodies of teachers, legal profes
sion, etc. Why can’t the leaders
of the choirs of the various
churches of the county make ar
rangements to meet at some con
venient place in the summer and
spend two days in effecting an
organization and in singing
Some of the greatest and some
of the most enjoyable times have
come about by the meeting to
gether of the singing element of
a county and spending two 01
three days in molding expressive
harmony to the God of the uni
verse. Music has an indefinable
force that has been able and is
: able to overthrow the icicles ol
many souls, and has radieallj
changed them to burning tear;
! of perpetual joy. It has beei
*
able to go where no other force
has ever gone. It has proven to
be the greatest cleanser of the
human heart. It has an invisi
ble, magnetic force that soothes
the blossom of life and gray
hairs alike. It is that strong in
divisible medium that connects
the heavenly element of man
with the incandescency of para
dise. It never faileth ; it brings
about that invisible, that inex
pressible joy that is reflected out
through the windows of the hu- 1
man soul and has a visible effect
upon man. It is one of the
greatest forces that is able to
combat and overthrow the dark
flowing elements of the heart 1
and convert them into shining
sparks of grace.
Music is one thing that never
makes men mad; never degrades
man; never sends man lower,
but always lifts him up. This
music of which 1 speak has the
heavenly elements in it.
Music will do this for a man,
it always absorbs grouchiness,
dispels gloom, melts discontent
and carelessness. It has never
been found wanting. Satisfac
tion and joy always come from
singing a glorious song. A great
concourse of righteous singers
always manufacture and inter
sperse indestructible sunshine.
Let’s add one more force to the
development of better men and
women of Jackson county.

singing conventions and have

was done. The occupants of the

disadvantage on account of much
of the furniture and other con
