Shoes are something new
with us, but we are going to
give them a flyer. We have
secured the services Of an ex-

our clothing department and
we are not going to do it in

To the People of Breyard County

Owing to the great increase in my bIs-
iness and interests in the south end OF the
county, far from the county seat. it re-
quires great share of my time to see to
them, hence find that it does not leave
me sufficient time to properly attend to
the duties of my office the way it should
be conducted. Therefore | have decided
TO send in my resignation to the COVER
nor, 10 take effect the first Monday in
June, thereby allowing the voters time to
make their own choice for the office at
the coming primary in July. In retiring,
| wish sincerely to thank my constituents
for their support of me in the past, and
regret very much that l am unable to
serve my term out. Sincerely,
