THE CLEVELAND COURIER
TOL. XXIII, No 11.1
Graven Elected Mayor
By Six Yotes,
Dr. Neal, Allan and Charlie Jarrard and
J- B. R. Barreit lor Councilmen
One of the most interesting and
‘‘hottest” elections we ever saw
was the regular election of .mayor
and councilmen for the town of
Cleveland held Wednesday, which
resulted in the re-el£ction of E. B.
Craven for mayor by only six votes,
and Dr. L. G. Neal, A. J. Jarrard,
J. B. R A Barrett and Charlie Jar
rnrd as councilmen.
We have witnessed the elections'
in Cleveland for the past few years
and we*have never yet seeirone that
compared with this one, when it
comes to irjjerest and work. We
believe we can safety say that not
more than half a dozen voters fail¬
ed to vote.
This will make Mr. Craven’s
third term as mayor of Cleveland.
He lias also served a term or two as
Councilman.
The ladies took just as much in¬
terest and were jast as active as
the men, and practically all of
them voted.
Dr. Norton has been mayor of
Cleveland and made a good one,
and, also, served as councilman, we
think, t wo terms.
It was a difficult proposition for
the voters to decide on the cbuncil
men, as every one of them are men
of excellent character and very
progressive citizens.
The vote of each was as follows :
For mayor. E. B. Craven Si; J. E.
For councilmen. ‘'"Dr.
L. GTNeal, S3; J. B. R. Barrett,
S3; A. J. Jarrard. So; Charlie Jar¬
rard, 77; J. P. Saxon, 67; G. E.
Sutton, 69 ; J. D. Blackwell, 73;
