G. W. Rayburn for Mayor.
We are authorized to announce
Mr. G. W. Rayburn in this issue
of The Itemizer as a candidate for
re-election to the office of Mayor
of the city of Water Valley.
The record of Mr. Rayburn hus
made duridg his incumbency as
Mayor of the city of Water Valley,
entitles his claims to the consid
eration of our people. We hear of
no mistakes he has made in the
discharge of his official duties, but,
rather, his record shows him to be
worthy of the place he has occu
pied. His past experience will
simply better fit him in the future
for the performance of the respon
sible duties which will devolve
upon him. Under his adminis
tration the government of the city
has run smoothly, and is being
kept on the up-grade, and further
time will but give him the oppor
tunity to carry out the work he has
inaugurated. He has proven him
self worthy of the position he is
now occupying.
