PAGE EIGHT CHAIRMAN THANKS VOTERS To The People of Jackson Count/: The official record show* that the people of our county voted in the recent referendum almost five to one against the repeal of our dry law. It ia very clear from this vote that our people are against legalizing the sale of whiskey in our state, and certainly in our county. As chairman of Jackson County Temperance League, I want to thank each one who had a part in making the majority as large as it is. The results are what they are because of the fine spirit of co-operation and the service rendered by each mem ber of the committee, and the citi zens of our county as a whole. Let us all give our officers our whole-hearted support, to the end that we may have better enforce ment of the law. R. M. Rigdon, Chairman, Jackson County Temperance Lea- Rue. t*l REV. J. M.
