I wish to take the opportunity to thank each of
you who supported me in the special election for
sheriff held January 9, 1968. Thanks to your support,
I am now in the run-off and again need your help.
We had more than two thousand persons exercise
their right to vote in the special election. This is a
privilege and duty afforded the citizens of our
country and we all need to vote again on January 23.
As most of you know, I'm a native of Brantley
County, reared down below Hickox. I am married
to the former Aria Dean Wilson and we have two
children, Beth who is almost six years of age and
Layt who is three. We expect to live and raise our
family here and would like to create and maintain
an atmosphere of which we could all be proud.
This requires the cooperation of all responsible
citizens and is a particular responsibility of the
Sheriff's Department in Brantley or any other
county.
The people of Brantley County are above the
average in being good neighbors and although we
have some of the undesirable in our county, we
have much more of the good. We all believe in a
capitalistic form of government and I believe that
each of you will help me promote Brantley County
to the fullest, that you will stand by me when I'm
elected, and that you will help me combat the evils
of our community.
All supporters of Robert, Calvin, and
Clayton, Come on over and Vote for Layton.
Elect Layton Johns Sheriff of Brantley County.
You're looking at half a dozen all-electric designs.
And Georgia has 5,500 more.
All-electric commercial buildings are
springing up throughout Georgia at the
rate of about 80 a month. For some
very sound business reasons.
Electricity, by itself, will supply all
the energy needs of any building you
build. Heating. Cooling. Water heat
ing. Lighting. Cooking. Energy for a
sky lift at Six Flags Over Georgia or
the elevators at First Federal Savings.
ELECT
Layton Johns Sheriff
Os Brantley County
IN THE ELECTION
Tuesday, January 23
VOTES WANTED
GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
One of the problems we need to control more
is reckless driving on our country roads which are
not patroled regularly by the state patrol. Vandalism
is also on the increase over Brantley County as well
as the rest of our nation. I intend to do everything
I can to prevent the destruction of property without
cause.
When elected, I intend to maintain the sheriff's
office as a public office, keep permanent records
open to the public, and show the disposition of fines
and forfeitures so the people can see how the duties
of this office are being carried out.
We read in the papers everyday about clip joints
and vices in surrounding counties. This has given
some of our friends a bad image and we certainly
don't want this to happen to Brantley County. Vote
for Layton Johns and help keep Brantley County
clean.
Your support and vote on election day will
certainly be appreciated. I will put forth every
effort to make you the best possible sheriff, and
as I have said before, I will serve 100% of the
people and 100% of the county.
THANK YOU,
LAYTON JOHNS
The all-electric concept provides more
usable space. Lower operating costs.
Greater freedom of design. An all
electric building is better from the start.
Because electricity is the world’s most
modern, convenient and versatile energy.
If you’d like to get on the all-electric
list, call our commercial representa
tives. You could be lucky number
5,507. Or 5,508. Or 5,509.
