t'It is gratifying to the many warm
personal friends of Roy Richardson to
know that he will offer for the office
of State Senator from the second dis
trict. subject to the action of the
Democratic Primary to be held next
August.
"The career of Roy Richardson Is
an inspiration to the young manhood
of this State. Born Of honest, humble
parentage, reared on rented farm,
imbibing the first lessons Of Democracy
as taught by father whose course
never faltered in the fullness of deyo-
tion to the principles Of that party
around which clings and clusters the
tender recollections Of glorious past,
a courageous present and still great
or future. This worthy son Of Sharp
county stepped ont at an early age and
began lfes BATTLES with the odds
against him, yet he never fiinched or
failed once In the fight for success
and his rapid rise Is due solely to that
intrepid spirit inherited from a father
and mother whose words of cheer babe
him go forward toward the goal Of his
laudable ambition. Roy Richardson
first attended the Hardy High School
from which he graduated in 1916 after
working his way throughout the second
term. During his high school days he

Mayor ]. W. Shannon requests all
persons interested in the extentiOn Of
the sewerage system to assist the com
mittee in charge in the Ihatter of get
ting signers to the extention petition.
A majority in value of the taxable
property of the town has not yet been
obtained and until this is done no
further movement can be made. That
the system is badly needed no one will
deny. The public health demands it
and the matter should not be delayed
longer.
1t has been suggested that the
women Of the town form a civic league
for the purpose of encouraging this
and other movements for the better
ing of conditions, cleaning up and
identifying our own homes and those
of our friends and neighbors. Every
body should lend a helping hand.
