tunIty came about this fall, she gladly
accepted the franchise After the election
she decided that there ought 70 be a cele-
hration in honor OF the victory The
Tenth Representative district IS a Repub
lIcan stronghold and So far as the oldest
lnhabitant can remember, Mr.. DAVIS IS
the first Democrat to be elected TO a leg
lslative position from that section.
Ex-Sneriff KIRBY presided AT the meet
ing Josiah Marvel of this city was the
chief speaker Mr. Marvel dwelt upon
