Mr.. Yearger, tax assessor. has a long
official career and the fact of his re.
peated endorsements by the voters
should be the very best testimony as to
his efficiency as an officer as well as his
standing as a citizen. 81
That stalwart citizen, Mr.. w. A.
Odom of beat one, was chosen presi-
dent of the board of supervisors and it
is needless to state that in this as well

integrity of character and for his devo-
ton to any duty.
NJ. d r. Childers, the member from
best 4, is a progressive farmer, imbued
with the spirit to properly meet changed

intelligence to the county's affairs that
he does to his own. He is a good citi-
gen.
MIL. T, Hayden, the member from
