D L Slaughter for Con-
stable Davis District
In announcing for re-election
as Constable for the second term
I wish to say that I will enforce
the law like I have in the past
and if I am elected y5u can count
on my using my best efforts to
stamp- out bootlegging poker
playing and all other violations
of the law just like I have in the
past I am asking for this office
because I believe that law and
order is the best for every town
as it makes a better place for a
man to live and raise a family
I ask ior the vote of all good
women who want to make Davis
a better place for her children
and believe in stamping out these
violations of the law as well as
the men
Thanking you for the past fa-
vors and assuring you that your
vote will be appreciated
D L Slaughter
Mr Slaughter needs no intro-
duction at our hands He has
been here most of the time and
considered this as his diome for
the past 33 years He has served
as nightwatchman deputy sheriff
and constable for eight and a
half years and everybody con-
cedes that he is a diligent fear-
less officer one who “camps on
the trail” of law breakers and
makes them go straight He
has no pets but treats them all
alike Law breakers fear him
because they know he will surely
get them if they violate the law
Mr Slaughter makes a good officer
and his past record shows what
he will do Give his candidacy
due consideration
HENRY FORD was 35 years getting ready forth
new price on the Fordson He started as a farm boy
planning to get rid of the drudgery long hours and low
money return that has always faced the farmer
He wanted to furnish you with a tractor that would not
only do your work better and faster but at lower costs
—and the 170000 Fordsons now in use have proved that
he has accomplished these things
What you get in the Fordson for $395 f o b Detroit is
the greatest farm power unit ever offered
Let us show you how a Fordson will cut farm costs
increase your bank account and take the drudgery out of
farm work Write phone or call

Courthouse Bond Election
Next Saturday
Next Saturday the taxpayers
will vote on the question of issu-
ing bonds for building a new
courthouse for Murray county
The old courthouse which was a
gift to the county was weakened
by large cracks and the storm
put the finishing touches to it and
made it unsafe for use Since
that time the upstairs of the
Pavlovitch building has been used
as a courthouse It is inadequate
for the county’s needs and not
suitable for the purpose
Since it costs nearly $200 per
month for rent on the bulding
and for guard hire that amount
would nearly pay the interest
on the proposed bonds As it
stands the court records are con-
stantly exposed to the hazards of
fire since there are no vaults in
the building
As we see it it is the duty of
the citizens to provide a suitable
and commodious courthouse
Take an interest in your county’s
affairs and vote at the election
Saturday The- proposed bond
issue is for $60000 and bears 5
percent
No doubt about it the county
needs a courthouse Vote for it
