form. The cake, a book, told how
the story began 102 years ago
when Joseph Donald Lewis was
born, his marriage to Minnie Lee
Brantley and the lives of their
ten children, each a separate
cake and chapter. Each cake was
adorned with the flower of the
month of the individual it repre
sented. The story was on paper
placed atop each cake. The sum
mary cake was arranged with
flowers from all the other cakes.
Its story told how the Lewis Leg
end will never end as each new
generation will add new chapters
to the story.
Saturday afternoon the Tra
ding Post was opened and handi
crafts made by different mem

ing placed into the Reunion
fund.

a devotional service was given,

Elect DAN FEARS To Post No. 1
To Succeed Himself On The Board
Of Butts County Commissioners
To The People Of Butts County
I am a candidate for Post No. 1 to succeed myself on the Butts County Board of Commis
sioners.
In seeking this very important office, my only objective and reason is to continue to help
make some contribution in the administration of our County Government so that it will con
tinue to grow and progress in an orderly, efficient and stable manner so as to help promote
progressive, orderly, and economic growth for all the people of our County.
Unfortunately, the County Primary for the Board of Commissioners must be held again—
for the second time —this time this primary will be held on September 26th.
I am indeed grateful and humble to the people of Butts County for having nominated me
to the Board of Commissioners of Butts County in the first primary held in Butts County on
August Bth. Please vote for me again on September 26th.
In seeking the nomination to this office, I have stated to you on many occasions in my
judgment some of the many problems which our County Government must face are:
1. A county wide water system. (I sponsored the resolution as Chairman of your Board
of Commissioners for the creation of the Butts County Water Authority.)
2. A county wide fire protection system. (I sponsored promotion and resolution for this
project and it is now underway, towards being solved.)
3. A small sanitary land fill for each Militia District of Butts County for the disposal
of trash, junk and garbage.
4. Work to obtain State and Federal aid to help eliminate the pollution of Lake Jackson.
5. Work to obtain all weather roads for all sections of Butts County which are unpaved
that are traveled by the school bus and mail carriers.
6. Formation of a County wide recreational program. (As chairman of your Board of
Commissioners, I sponsored such a resolution, which has resulted in the formation and or
ganization of the Butts County-Jackson Recreational Authority which has now been formed
and is now in operation.)
7. Continued Permanent improvements for Indian Springs State Park.
8. The installation of a telephone answering system on a 24-hour day basis. The cost of
this will be less than four (4c) Cents per hour. This answering system will be available to
everyone in Butts County.
9. Continued improvements and modernization of our County Courthouse.
10. Work to obtain additional medical physicians and facilities for the people of Butts
County.
11. Cooperate with all law enforcement agencies to stamp out and put out of business
all forms of crime, including the unlawful sale of hard drugs, marihaunna, gambling and all
forms of racketeering and criminal conspiracies.
12. Economy in all expenditures of County funds to obtain maximum benefits and services
for every dollar of the taxpayers money spent and a full and complete accounting thereof.
As an elected official of this County, I will as I have done during the past three and one
half years, pursue my duties with a sense of dedication in a spirit of harmony and compati
bility to work with the other two members of this Board for the best interest of all the people
of Butts County.
I respectfully solicit your help, your support and your vote on my behalf in the Second
Butts County Primary to be held on September 26, 1972.
THANK YOU,
DAN FEARS
Elect Dan Fears To Post No 1 To Succeed Himself
To The Butts County Board Of Commissioners In
The Second Primary On September 26.
