FAITH IN THE FUTURE

What a wonderful feeling it is
to be proud of your home town

is to boost your own community.
We who live in Rankin oounty
know that it is the best place in

why not tell others about it? The

lived in Rankin only' a few

Why? Just because we have
found the perfect peace Of which
poets sing. The peace and con

lolged for. Amid a kindly and
hospitable people. Like most

vet we are rich as compared
with people who live in less favor

means there will be thousands
less to torment you a month from

During the last few days there
has been more or less cleaning
up going on throughout the towns

concerted effort on the part OF

thing to keep your house and
premises clean. Get busy now.
