lights installed, to have the roads re-
paired and several new bridges put
| in around the town, encourage peo-
pie to settle in this district. and Coz
operate with the farm bureau in Sc
touring a justice OF the peace and
constable for the district. The dis

and much of this prosperity is due to
the work of the above organization.

er work the coming year and MEM
bership drive will be started soon.
