Never Told .Him
Desperately in need of 50
cents, a fellow we know fin-
ally got up enough courage
to open his pay envelope be-
fore taking it home to his
exacting wife. Somewhat
mystified at what he found
therein, he hurried back to
the cashier who had given
him the envelope.
“You’ve given me $10 too
much, Fm afraid,” he stam-
mered.
The cashier counted the.
bills and coins, then replied
impatiently: “It’s suite cor-
rect. I suppose you’ve for-
gotten that you got a $10
raise last month.”
He placed his hand across
•his eyes, shrank into his col-
lar farther and said faintly:
“My wife never told me.”

A dear old lady visited the
Better Business Bureau to
complain about lack of
promised dividends on a se-
curity she had purchased.
Upon investigation it turned
out that the whole scheme
she had invested in was &
fraud.
“Why didn’t you consult
us first r the BBB official
asked. “We might have
saved your money for you ”
“I know,” said the lady,
“but it sounded ec food I
was afraid you wouldn’t 1st

TO THE CITIZENS OF
FANNIN COUNTY:
Saturday you will again nominate the man who
will serve you for the next two years as Sheriff. I
;h,ave tried to see each of you in person to solicit your
vote. If I have missed you it was unintentional, and
I take this method of saying that I want your sup-
port.
Today the papers are fuii of reports from every
quarter to the effect that crime is on a big increase.
.Murders, burglaries, thefts, yes even bank nwwries
are again prevalent. The GANGS are back. The
victim who pays the bill for all this is the citizen who
lives by the law. There is only one way to prevent
it and that is by having a law enforcing officer who
can and will catch the violator. You cannot catch a
criminal unless you know how. The “know how”
comes from experience. It takes more to be a sher-
iff than “totin’ ” a pistol. I believe that I am the
only experienced man left in the race. I worked for
three former Sheriffs of this county and was once a
member of the State Highway Patrol. While work-
ing there I was thoroughly schooled in all modern
methods used by the FBfll in crime detection. 1 know
how to solve a case and to get evidence that will
stand up in court. It does no good to arrest a man
and pilace him in jail unless you know how to get the
evidence together to convict him. I say all this be-
cause I believe you want to he free of thieves and
thugs, and it I am. jour Sheriff they will not have a
“haven of rest” in Fatonin county.
1 have triad gif my life to be s kind, courteous,
and considerate person. I believe that it pajni off in
the lonr run. It is my opinion that you can enforce
the law and at the same time give the people of Fan-
nin county the courteous treatment they deserve. If
I am darfni you can always expect as be rsgUved In
m canted manner when you have buslaees to
with an* or my office. It costs so little and lMall bo
aflad to give it to you. It you WANT GOOD CLEAN
Law ainmcKMKNT at the hand* or a
MAN WHO WILL MEET YOU WITH A SMILE
