REPORT THOSE FIRE ANTS
Rare aware that
iKll Butts County
la was sprayed
life' this past spring
p|K to control the
fire ant prob-
HHh ’em. Reports
that I have re
ceived indicate that spraying was
highly successful. However, we
know that there are still some
fire ants in some parts of the
county. A good follow-up pro
gram of spot treating will help
keep the ant problem in check.
If you see fire ants in the
county please report them, re
gardless of whether or not they
are on your own property. I have
plenty of fire ant bait in my
office that is free for the asking.
If everyone will report or treat
the ants they see we can avoid
the fire ant problem we were
faced with last year.
CARD OF THANKS
Thanks to all those wonderful
friends and relatives who remem
bered me following a guinea wasp

pitalized me for a week or more.
Your visits, cards, flowers, and
other remembrances were appre

ways be grateful for your many
kindnesses.—Ruth C. Burford.

Of Town

Many of the county’s school
students have been preparing sev
eral weeks now to leave for the
institution of their choice to en
roll in the fall quarter. Young
people in this area are fortunate
to be centrally located. A num
ber of places of higher learning
are within commuting distance
from Jackson while still others
are near enough that many can
come home for weekends. Our
best wishes for success are theirs
as many embark on this journey

Butts County Commissioners
I am a life time resident and business man of Butts Coun
ty. I am concerned with the needs and growth of our county
and its people.
1. Being in my type of business I travel over Butts County
and all surrounding counties. It is very noticeable that our
neighboring counties are benefiting by having a County Water
and Fire Protection system. I realize BUTTS COUNTY could
be just as much or more prosperous by having this same secur
ity of protection.
2. I will work for better roads for all sections of BUTTS
COUNTY that are paved and unpaved.
3. I will work toward obtaining more physicians and
better medical facilities for the people of our COUNTY.
4. I will work with our local Police and Sheriff Depart
ment to stamp out all local and outside organized DRUG
pushers.
5. Asa business man I will be most concerned where our
Tax Money will be spent if I am elected for Post. No. 3.
6. If elected I will Cooperate and Work with the Com
missioners that you elect for Post No. 1 and No. 2 for the
benefit of the COUNTY,
I, ED CLEVELAND, humbly ask you to go to the POLLS
Sept. 26 and VOTE for ME as your COUNTY COMMIS
