The Cleburne New Era
NEWSPAPER NOTICES FROM "THE CLEBURNE NEW ERA"  for DECEMBER 1905

Newspaper Issue of December 16, 1905

HEFLIN VICTORIOUS IN COURT HOUSE FIGHT;  COUNTY SEAT WILL BE MOVED TO HEFLIN

Cleburne county witnessed the hottest election in her history last Monday and 
the question that been uppermost in the minds of the people for the past three 
months was settled in Heflin's favor.  Th election commissioners officially 
canvassed the returns last Wednesday and it was found that Heflin was made the 
county seat by the small margin of 88 votes.    Ill feelings between the towns 
of Edwardsville and Heflin were greatly intensified during the campaingn for 
court house removal from Edwardsville to Heflin, but we hope that  all 
prejudice, bitterness and animosity will be obliterated. Now that the battle 
of the ballots is over and the victory won, let us join hands and unite as 
brothers for the advancement of our common interests.
