WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED-

TheI election is over and the editorof the Star is satisfied he will not bej a member of the legislature of 1909

br but that his opponent L S Light or

Reddick will diffuse wisdom over thatbody equalize taxes and reduce thesame to the joy of every taxpayer onwhich we congratulate him

AH the same the editor of the Starthanks those who so nobly and un-selfishly

¬

stood by voted and support-ed

¬

him For those who voted againstr us we have only the kindest feeling

and hope all their candIdate prom sedthem will be fulfilled and the goodfeeling between the county and OcaJamaintained

The contest is over and now ve willget down to our normal condition ofstriving to make the Star the favoritecounty paper As in the past when-ever

¬

we can serve the people of Mar¬ion no matter whether in town orcounty we will always be pleased o-de so

There is not an unpleasant thought-In our mind against any man no mat ¬ter who he voted for and our feelingstoday though defeated are as strewand equitable as kindly and considerate toward the world as they have

ii ever been and in that pleasant stateof mind we will go marching on

The pall bearers at Mrs John PGalloways funeral were Messrs O TGreen R 0 Conner Henry Living ¬ston G L Taylor A C Fort and FE Harris Those who served in the

f same capacity at the funeral of MrB J Culverhouse were Messrs P VLeavengood O J Brigance R R Car ¬roll George McGahagin H C Jonesand J H Spencer Rev G H Harri ¬son officiated The flowers that dec-orated

¬

the graves of the departed wereprofuse and strewn with loving handsinterre-d in Greenwood cemetery and thoset of rM Culverhouse in the annex toGreenwood cemetery Both funeralswere largely attended-

It took the Inspectors of the elec-tion

¬

until 10 oclock to count the vote4 of the Ocala precinct and during that

time quite a crowd collected to re-ceive

¬

the returns but up to midnightonly some twenty precincts out of thethirtytwo had reported and some of-

F 1 these only partially This morningt others brought in returns which ap ¬

¬

and a daughter living there hehad a grand time but he hadfriendsiu the late election and so came hometo vote for them but the saddest partof all is that every one of them isseemingly defeated and now when hethinks of the good time he would haver continued to have in Birmingham itmakes him feel sad We dont blame

t this patriotic and liberty loving sonof the lost cause
