Political Announcement To the Citizens of Nahunta: I, Billy Williams, wish to announce my candidacy for election to the City Council of Nahunta. I am running for office because I believe many im portant functions of the city government are being o v er looked and I think it is time someone did something about the situation. You have been promised by the other candi dates that they will make Na hunta a better place to live. I am going further and tell you some of the ways this can be done. The main duties of the city government are to furnish to its citizens police protection, fire protection, water, ade quate streets, and proper sani tation facilities and to do these things as economically as pos sible. Right now there are many areas inside the city where there are no fire plugs, street lights are out, stop signs are down, and intersections unmarked. Our merchants and businessmen are constantly plagued by petty thefts. We still do not have a sewerage system. Many of our citizens depend on the trade they derive from travelers on U. S. 301 for their livlihood and we must do everything we can to keep this vital artery open and flourishing. I was born and raised here in Nahunta and my children are being raised here now, and I want to do all I can to make this a better place for them to live and I think you feel the same way about your children. Please vote for me on Octo ber 6. Sincerely, Billy Williams Political Announcement TO THE CITIZENS OF NAHUNTA: I wish to announce that I will be a candidate for city councilman in the election to be held Oct. 6. The efficient operation of your city government is be coming more important each year. If the prosperity of Na hunta is to move forward with the rest of the country, it must have strong leadership. It must have men with imagina tion and courage, who are will ing to work for betterment of the community. Before we can have much hope of persuading industry to locate a plant here we must have a modem sewage sys tem and an airport, as well as many other lesser improve ments. These community de velopments can be provided if the people work together and have the necessary leadership. If I am elected, I will work tirelessly for these improve ments and for a clean, honest government. Your vote and support will be greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely, James Griner.
