thoughtful of others. Last Aug-
ust Frank was stricken with
paralysis, and for many weary
months could not leave his bed.
Recently he had been much im-

his death he seemed better than
for a long time. He was stricken
with a second attack of paralysis
early last Thursday morning and
passed away a few hours later.
He is survived by his wife, his

was manifested in the race, but
the contest was without bitter-
ness. Three good men were in
the race and it was very difficult
for many to make a choice; some
w?ere heard to express regret
that they could not vote for all
of the candidates.
A great many did not vote,
but 549 votes were polled. A
count of the votes showed 192
for John T. Damron; 189 for
Dial. Alf Self and Herbert Lut-

without opposition.
Thanks.
Te the Voters of Fannin County:
I have decided to announce
myself as a candidate for the of-
fice of District Crefk. I am
familiar with all of the duties of
this office and feel that I can
serve the people of our county
in this position in a way that
would meet with their approval.
Fannin county was my birth-
place and I have lived here all
my life, and expect to reside
here while I live.
Public office is a public trust
and it shall be my purpose to
perform all the duties of the of-
fice diligently, honestly and effi-
ciently, and the actual experi-
ence I have heretofore had will
be helpful to me in discharging
the duties of the place I seek.
It will not be possible for me
to make a house to house can-
vass of the county, but will see
as many of you as I can, and
shall endeavor to present my
claims to the voters in every fair
and honorable way.
I promise faithful devotion to
the duties of the office and shall
