O.T. Bond runs for jailer I'm in the Jackson Jailer's race to win. To vote against me, you will feel a sin. Even though we have never met, A vote for me you won't regret. If you're unlucky and jailed, I'll give you a treat to good coffee, corn bread, "tatters" and meat. Your boys I'll always try to advise right. Never to drink liquor,violate the law or fight. To the good mothers I appeal, A vote for me gets your boy a square deal. If you want a jailer who will keep the key, Trust in God and vote for O.T.
Big plans for the Jackson County Fair The management of the Jackson County Fair announces that plans are almost completed for another big fair to be held September 5-7. More people will be coming to this fair than ever before due to the completion of good roads to or near the fairgrounds. A contract has been signed with the Alabama Amusement Co. to play the fair this year.
This aggregation is one of the best attractions on the road and the Fair Association is indeed lucky to get such an attraction. Arrangements are being made with the Jackson County Sun to print the catalogues and other advertising matter. This will go for ward as soon as the ballots for the coming Primary are out of the way.
