that he wants to be re-elected to the

this, merely judging Arch by himself;

Following out edicts made by the
city council, workmen have made some
highly worthy improvements in the
downtown drainage system. For a
number of years stagnant water stood

sion, of course, is not good English,
but it is perfectly understandable
United State lingo, meaning that Arch
Ramsour as an officer is right there
with the goods. He has made an envi-
able reputation as public servant. All

including the art, not yet lost by him,

ful swift entrant in the coming politi-
cal line-up of the county. Leastwise

ious parts of the city which affords
