TO THE PEOPLE OF WILKINSON
, COUNTY:
Two years ago, you gave me a yote
of confidence by electing me your
Representative in the Georgia Legis
lature. The best interests of our
County and State has been my first
consideration; and I feel we are mak
ing progress in our expanded school
program as well as in the building
and improving of our roads and brid
ges. I think the two go hand in hand
and by all working together, we can
march forward in full step with the
wonderful progress our State is now
enjoying.
I am a candidate for re-election and
I will appreciate the support and help
of all our people. I fed the two years
experience I have, had as your Repre
sentative will be a great help during
the coming months. We must face
the situation with courage and con
viction and with the determination to
try to solve all the problems fairlv
and for the good of our people.
Your- help and advice will always
be appreciated; and in return, I
pledge you the very best that is in
me. Again, thank you for your sup
port and with best wishes always, I
am,
Sincerely,
A. T. Land.
