Bass Farr Announces
For Sheriff
I hereby announce my candidacy
for Democratic nominee for Sheriff
of Forsyth County, Georgia, sub
ject to the rules and regulations
governing the Democratic Primary
to be held March 16, 1960, one
which is I will support the Demo
cratic nominees. .
As I will not get to see each one
of you in person, I take this meth
od of asking you for your vote
and influence in my behalf, for
which I will be deeply grateful.
When elected to this office I
promise to enforce all laws in a
courteous, fair and imparital man
ner without fear or favor from
anyone. I am entering this race
with no ill will toward anyone,
but I do feel that my many years
of experience as a law enforce
ment officer qualifies me to make
Forsyth County the kind of Sher
iss that it needs and deserves.
I am running this race alone; I
am not lined up with any person,
group or faction, for in running
alone, I believe that after I am
elected that I can better serve each
person, group or faction. As for
deputies, after I am elected. I will
talk with you people of Forsyth
County and let you help me select
one or as many as we need and
whoever they may be. I promies
you they will never be fired for
enforcing the law. Also I will not
have any deputies work up until
I run for re-election, then lay them
off until after the election, for if
they are good enough to serve
with me for three years and nine
months, they will be good enough
to serve while I am running for
office.
As your sheriff, I will work with
all other county officers you choose
so as to make Forsyth County a
safer and better place to live.
As your sheriff, I will patrol
the roads to make them safer for
you and your children to use. I
will answer all your calls at the
time I receive them and serve all
papers given me as soon as pos
sibe. >
Most of you people, both young
and old, know me personally, but
for you who do not, I am 49 years
old, married to Edna Mae Wheeler
Farr, have four children, three
bovs and one girl. Victor Is our
oldest, he just finished four years
in service and is now working at
an electronics place in Atlanta.
Pat, our onlv daughter, is married
to a very fine boy, you all know
him, Larry Watson they have
three children. I still have two
small boys to raise, Rickey is 11
and Jerry is 6 years old.
As your sheriff, I not onlv want
to make the kind of sheriff that
your children will love, admire
and respect, but one that my own
children and grandchildren will
love, admire and respect, and in
making this kind of sheriff, I know
that I will not have any trouble
from the young people of Forsyth
County and as for the people from
other counties, either teen-agers
breaking traffic laws or criminals
breaking other laws, they will be
better off to stay in their own
counties for as long as I am sher
iff. they will not use our county
for any law breaking purposes.
As your sheriff, it will be my
duty to safeguard your life and
property, this I will always be
striving to do, both night and day
without permitting personal feel
ings, prejudices or friendships to
influence my decisions.
As your sheriff, I will always
recognize my office as a symbol
of public faith and I will accept it
as a public trust to be held as
long as I am true to my oath of
office.
As your sheriff, I will constant
ly strive to achieve these objectives
and ideals, dedicating mvself be
fore God to my chosen profession—
that of law enforcement.
So to each Mother, Father, Boy
or Girl who wish better law en
forcement and safety on the roads
in Forsyth County, law enforce
ment so that we may at least have
a county fair for you people out
in the county to bring your poultry,
calves and pigs to be judged. If
each of you will talk and work
for me from now until the 16th
day of March, then I promise you
in all sincerity that I will work
lor you the next four years striv-

Your Hospital News
The hospitals inother communi

like to donate a sum of money to
set up a room in memory of a
loved one an opportunity to do so.
Your hospital has never given
this opportunity to the people of
ibis county. There have been sever
al inquiries about this in the past
lew months and one person has
gone so far as to say that she was
[geing to donate $350.00 for a room
'in memory of her oMther.
Part of this money will be used
to refinish the room, paint, decor
ate, etc. The balance will be put in
a sppecia! account to help in the
months that awe mav run short of
funds and to help defray cost of
upkeep and expenses that norma'ly
come due each month even though
there are not enough patients to
defray these expense These dona

■Divorce Becoming
; Widespread
j Divorce is becoming widespread
•in our fair land, so I think it is
| high time for Christian people to
.speak out on this subject and tell
[ the Bible teachings on it. It is our
(solemn duty to lead our young
people right.
In the beginning we learn that
marriage is of God, pure and holy
-Gen. 2: 21-24. It was undofiled
jby sin. Therefore we should look
upon marriage as a devine institu
tion, based on love and founded
on principle.
Many of our modern marriages
and homes are broken because first
things do not come first. Christ,
the Bible, and the church should
have first consideration in the
'home. Divine guidance should be
sought by both husband and wife..
There should be mutual love and'
respect for each other.
God does not say anywhere that
husband and wife can get a divorce
if thev do not love each other.
It is their fault and sin; so
must suffer. “He that sinneth
against me wrongeth his own soul"
Prov. 8: 36. "Be sure your sin will ’
find you out”—Numbers 32: 23.
(There is only one reason for di
vorce and that is fornication—Matt.
1 5: 32 and then he does not say one
j could marry again. Christ said.
| “And they twain shall bbe one
l flesh! co then they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What God’
(hath joined oteether let no man
put asunder” Mark 10: 6-12. So
.we see they cannot be separated
1 according to God’s Word. Of course
Christ knew all about the Old Testa
ment and Also Paul did too. Let
us see how Paul understood these
things. In Romans Paul says the
wife is bound to the husband as
long as he lives. Rom. 7: I—3.
Paul also says that if husband and
wife separate let them not marry
again unless they be reconciled and
get back together—lst Oor. 7: 10,
11, 39. Christ and Paul must have
understood these things. They are
in plain English so let us accept
them and not try to twist them
about to mean something else—
Phil. 2:15, 2nd Peter 3: 11—14.
Communist China and Russia
look upon divorce with disfavor
and divorce is a bar <f ho |ling
public office Communist nations
stress the importance of solid fam
ily home life. What has happened)
to us? What destroyed our sense
of values?
Separation and divorce bring sor
row, suffering, shame, and delin
quency. We can see it is bad, even
if there was no divine law against
it. The evil spirit is always lurking
about our home. No home is too
sacred for Satan to try to enter.
He is always trying to insert a
wedge of discord and sin to ruin
some person or home. Read Ist
Cor 6: 20.
Christ is the answer. Divorce is
rare in a consecrated christiam
home. Make Christ your partner
through life. Make a path to your
church and read the Bible daily.
Read Phil. 4: 8.
