round just letting his friends know
that he would stand for reelection
at the coming school election. He

has grown up in the work and no
other man is so familiar with school
matters in this county as Mr.. Joyce
is. He changed the system from
county commissioner to superin-

show results and to continue him
in the Office would be good jQdg-
ment on the part of the voters.
