Memphis and obtained a position in
the public schools. She had one pu
pil to whom she was greatly attached.
He was James L. Yarborough, at that
time 14 years old.
This fall James was in the fifth
grade. Miss Patrick was again his
teacher. School ran along smoothly
for a month. Then the principal not
ed a marriage license had been issued
to the pair. They admitted that they
were married.
The school laws do not permit mar
ried women to teach, so Mr. and Mrs.
Yarborough are making their home
with the elder Mr. ahd Mrs. Yarboi

MANY VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST
At 3:15 tills Afternoon 350 Votes Had
Been Cast—Numerous Workers
Out—Exjiected Between 500 and
000 Votes Will Be Cast.
The contest in Valdez both in re
gard to the election of Delegate and
for the various territorial offices has
been a warm one, even the ladies dis
playing a marked interest in the race. |
The polls opened at 7 o’clock, and j
at 8 o’clock about thirty votes had
been cast, A1 White casting number
one. At 1 o’clock 230 votes had been
cast and the crowds were beginning
to thicken about the polling place,
and at 3:15 this number had been
increased, to 350. A number of
workers were out gathering in the
voters and ft is estimated that by the
time the polls close tonight some
where between 500 and 600 votes will
have been cast.
Any attempt to forecast what the
vote will be is at best a guess pure
and simple, but the Sulzer men and
women Are expressing the certainty
that he will carry the town by a fair
plurality. Wickersham forces make
the claim that he will carry the city
by forty or fifty votes, but it is yet
difficult to say who is leading in the
ballots'cast.
The wet and dry question is also
one that is attracting a great deal of
attention. Both sides claim confi
dence in carrying the town and both
have been waging a vigorous cam
paign to this end. It is apparently a
toss-up with the wets having a shade
the better of the voting.
In addition to the usual officials,
for which the election throughout the
territory is general, Valdez is also
voting on a director and clerk for
the school board. There are four can
didates in the field for these offices
and there is no lack of workers for
the several candidates.
Mrs. Emma Leavell and D. E. Mil
lard are the candidates for the po
sition of Clerk and Wm. Dolan and
C. P. Topliff for Director. All of the
candidates have a host of friends and
it is believed the vote will be an ex
I
tremely close one.
