any special clique or group have given my personal attention to roads and bridges on the school bus routes and mail routes and have tried to give each community an equal amount of the road funds that are received I have distributed the road work as nearly equally as posible It has been very difficult at times to give you the service that I would like to give you as you know that most of the county-owned equipment is getting old and worn out and is hard to keep moving like we would want it to do believe that I have proved to you the I am capable of handling the charity cases and the problems of the people who are in need of help and if I am re-elected I will give these cases the same personal attention that I have given before friends it will keep me very busy performing my duties as your county commissioner and I might not get to see each one of you personally but I want to thnnk you for all past favors that you have dona for me and the loyalty that you have shown to me I will certainly appreciate your vote and if you see fit to re-elect me I wil try togiveyou the best service Clay Williams Has Operation Gay Williams underwent an operation in Wesley hospital at
