purposes starting in this district.
Eugene Davis, who is in control

takings, asks the cooperation of the
people here, and as there is strength

possess shall be devoted to the up
building of the Eureka district. and
| hope that the citizens of the COM
munity will join me in my efforts,
not only to put Eureka back where
she was in the old days, but to make
her even greater then she was then.
1t can be easily done if we all pull to-
gether. l want the people of this
community to know that shall take
a deep interest in everything that is
for their good. and am ready to do
my part whenever called upon"
