When it rains it pours. . .The Dade County field is getting plum full of “perfectly” good candi¬ dates. So many, it is interest¬ ing as well as amusing to watch the fellows exchange cards and give one another their sales talks. The Times might hove to add another sheet if the office seek¬ ers keep coming (and more or yet to come). Which by the way, should be a reminder to everyone of voting age to see that their names are on the voters book. March 6 has been set for the County Primary election and it will be on that date when the people of the county will have an opportunity to say whether they do or do not favor certain persons holding certain offices. It is our duty and privilege to express ourselves at the polls and thereby have our say on the question of who shall or who shall not be selected to fill the various public offices. So, register now if you have not already done so, in order to be in a position to vote on March 6th and in other elections. Adding up the number of can¬ didates already announced and those yet to come in, seems to me that the Secretary of the Demo¬ cratic Executive Committee stands a good chance of being in mighty fine shape, financially . . Fellow could “might near" skip the country on that amount. . . Ah Shucks. Saw our High School boys lose a couple of basketball games to Chattanooga Valley Saturday night, and though our boys lost. I'm frank to say they “looked" far the better on the court. . .All the “breaks” just seemed to be against them. Better luck next time boys . . . Stay in there and fight ’em. Understand that the County Board of Education has voted to fix up the gymnaisium. Well good for them! I knew we had a “perfectly good” Board of Edu¬ cation and this makes me know it more. Gentlemen, I suggest that you do a complete job while you’re at it; that is, fix her up in good shape once and for all. I doggies, I’ve never seen as many cases of mumps in my life. Those who don’t already have ’em are taking ’em or have just gotten over them. And, to cap the climax, Larry (the second son), got up this morning looking like a squirrel with an oversize acorn in his mouth, which means there are at least two others in our family to follow. Wouldn’t f wear that I have had the mumps myself; how f ever some of the old¬ er members of the family say I have. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their sympa¬ thy and kindness shown us du¬ ring the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father, William R. Taylor; also Bro. Billo Gass and Bro. Pearl Tinker for their consoling word, and our friends for the beautiful flowers. May God forever bless you all. Mrs. Rena Taylor and Family.

ANNOUNCEMENT To the Citizens and Voters of Dade County: I hereby announce my candi¬ dacy for reelection to the office of County Superintendent of Schools, subject to the vote in the primary March 6th. I have held this office for the past seven years, which have been most diffcult years for school administrators in this state from all angles of adminis¬ tration. It has been impossible to employ sufficient number of qualified teachers due to the fact that they have left the profession for better paying positions. The transportation of pupils has been bad because of the inavailability of transportation facilities. The bond money for buildings in the various districts has been diverted to other districts and will not be as long as I your Superintendent, it is on time deposit in the Hamilton National Bank in Chattanooga and is fully protected loss by bank failure or otherwise, by the deposit of One Thousand Dollars in Government Bonds, held in escrow by Central Hanover Bank and Trust Com¬ pany, New York, for which I hold receipt, so you can see that we are fully protected against loss through bank failure while we are not using these funds. I want to assure you that as soon as the funds in hand are sufficient to do the construction that we believe to be necessary the Board intends to start build¬ ing. Right now the cost of building is the highest in history We are hoping that in the future there will be a great provement in building condi- tions, also In teacher and portation conditions. I would like to be your Super ^ intendent for another term therefore *will appreciate your active support in this primary election Sincerely yours,. L. M. ALLISON. ' i Listen! Actions Speak Louder Thun Words? / Of course! But words and actions together speak Y even louder. For example, it is the recorded policy of the Southern Rail¬ Sfjjjpgp way System “to develop the territory and to foster faith in ■ the South, its people and opportunities.” m To back our words with action...to help promote the growth and ' "(<-'• ' t prosperity of the Southland ... we place advertisements like these, month after month, in national magazines having a total circulation of 5 million copies. Over and over again we’re telling the nation’s industrialists, financiers, and businessmen that it will pay to “Look Ahead—Look South” for greater opportunity. Is this words-and-action policy getting results? You’ll hear a loud, inspiring answer in the whistles of thousands of new L and expanding factories throughout the South! / President !; Si g 'V, l * J 3 I • wai a „ oJd industry fhof lived In a »h<x —r i-w— —— t« A. *“ r * r ' ._____ . ___ PSiv’vV- • ' “"SIS™”"" i ' SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM JLlxAJLSULSLOJULO-fiJU^^ tenth Grade News By Junior Wizard Here we are again with news we have for you.

Novr he’s got a fence that’s rustproof, rotproof, and mighty handsome hi the bargain. Only thing is, Lud says, you have to keep checking it from time to time, and keep it trimmed of dead wood. Takes a bit of watch¬ ing, but Lud figures that it’s worth the trouble. From where I sit, anything worth while takes a bit of watching. Tav¬ erns selling beer, for instance.

I have lived in Dade County for the past twelve years and, being a working man, making a living by selling general mer¬ chandise and farming, I feel you know me as a citizen. Having carefully studied the duties of this office I feel that I can carry on the work suc¬ cessfully. If elected by the votes of the people, I faithfully promise that I will conduct my office on the highest plane of honesty and be faithful to the trust given me. My books shall be open at all times, and in my office a friendly welcome will be given one and •11. Your vote and influence will be highly appreciated. J. Z.

So under its program of “Self Regulation,” the brewing industry cheeks every tavern periodically, and warna any that aren’t up to standard that they’d better do a bit of "trimming.” And like Lud Denny's fenee, it works out mighty satisfactorily—for the brewers, tbe tavern keepers, and you!
