w. r. Grayson For
Reelection to Board.

The announcement of Mr.. w. r..
Grayson, of Moselle, as candidate for
reelection to the office of Supervisor
of Beat 8, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary election to be
held in August of this year, appears in
this issue of the News.
Mr.. Grayson is member of the
we'll known family which bears his
name, and which were pioneer settlers
from South Carolina, who located in
Jones County before the Civil war.
Among the inestimable traits of char
acter, which he has inherited from his
distinguished lineage, are: a belief
in God; faith in revealed religion of
Jesus Christ; fidelity to principle, and
devotion to duty.
He was born, reared and has lived
all his life on farm in Jones County,
and has always contributed to the up-
most of his ability and in every way
possible, to the up-building ofhis com
mnnity and County both socially and
materially.
AS a member of the present Board
of Supervisors he has devoted his best
energy and effort to serve the best
interests of the people of Beat 5, and
OF the County as whole, and 1t is
needless to say that If reelected, he
will continue to serve his people in
A.. - - e. ;ti,f,,t ~ Fao ,.lacc manner
That he may have made mistakes
he does not care to deny, bnt it can be
asserted that such as he may have
made, were of the head and not OF
the heart.
Walter Grayson is known to almost
every man, woman and child in Beat 5,
and has circle of friends and acquain-
tances extending over Jones and sur
rounding Counties. These friends and
acquatntances know him to be an up
right citisen: faithful friend: consis-
tanf Christian: an ideal husband, and
and devoted father. He is a member
of the Methodist Church, Past Mas
ter of the Masonic Lodge OF Moselle
and Chapter Mason, belonging to
Keystone Chapter No 1870, near San
ford, Miss. Both IN private and pub
lie life, he has lived a life that it as
au open book.
He and all his people, Of the past
and present, have been, and still are
Democrats, ever avoiding "even the
appearance of evil" in the matter OF
sanctioning with silence or sympath-
izing by assent, with any demag ogic-
ism or cism, any person dares to ap-
pend to that organization. represent
lug their political faith.

completely to upset him.
Ever since the Consolidated Mutual
had been hit by the murders he had had
many lines out in the hope Of enmesh-

found out the next day, he had at last
heard of a clue. One Of the company's g

don't let on how you found out!"
And yet Limpy Red had scarcely left
with his promise not to tell, when
Dodge, happening to turn over some
papers, came upon an envelope left
on his own desk, bearing that mysteri-
Gus clutching hand!
He tore 1t open, and read in amaze
ment:
Destroy Limpy Reds instructions
within the next hour"
Dodge gazed about in wonder. This
was getting on his nerves. He de-
termined to go home and rest.
Outside the house, as he left his car,
pasted over the monogram on the door,
he had found another note, with the
same weird mark and the single word:
"Remember!"
In spite of the pleadings of young
Bennett, Dodge refused to take warn

fitted library he deposited Limpys doc
ument in an envelope containing all

Kennedy looked up gravely. Every
