r. N. .Mizen Enters Race.

Robert N. Mizell is a candidate
for reelection to the Office Of
Highway Commissioner Of Road
District No. 6. Election to be
held April 4th 1922.
He was elected April 9th 1920,
to this Office and upon entering
the duties of same has worked
hard for the interest of this road
district, keeping in mind all the
time that the people wanted and
demanded good roads.
Mr.. Mizel. familiary known as
Bob made up his mind that
no road district in Massac county
should have better roads than his
district and has succeeded in the
determination. and today his
roads stand second to none, ii
not the best. of any roads in
Massac county. This has all been
done through the personal work
and supervision Of Mr. Mizel.
On April 9th this road district
voted Road Bonds to the amount
OF 800, 10000 for the purpose of
building hard roads TO the extent
of II ~ miles, and Bob Mizell
has built practically all OF these
roads with this money. and has
even gone further than that and
has built other hard road not
mentioned in the petition which
amounts to several miles.
Massac county has better hard
roads than any county in South
ern Illinois. and K. n. Mizell has
done his part and duty in making
good roads in his district.
If reelected to this office Bob
expects to keep up his work for
better roads. and asks the voters
to give his candidacy their care
full consideration at the polls.
