The City Itemizer
Established 1894.
THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916.
T. W. Thorne Announces for
City Tax Collector.
Mr J. W. Thorne authorizes
The Itemizer this week to place
his name in our announcement
column as a candidate for the of
fice of City Tax Collector.
Mr. Thorne’s clerical and gen
eral business ability, as well as his
genial and accommodating spirit,
are so well recognized by his wide
acquaintance in the city that his
candidacy at once commends itself
to every thoughtful voter.
Being a properly owner, mx pay
er, a natural booster of the city's
every interest and welfare, he is
considered one of our most pro
gressive and meritorious business
men; and there is every reason to
believe that he will do his full duty,
with courtesy to everybody, if he
is nominated for this place in the
city primaries.
Mr. Thorne is not a politican
and has no unreasonable promises
to make or any flattery to peddle
out in exchange for votes; but he
asks the support of the people of
the city on a business basis; and
he will in return fill the office in
the same spirit.
Postmaster J. L. Kirby is in
receipt of arivice from the Depart
ment at Washington that Free
Delivery of mail for the City wi!!
be ‘■established at an early date,
provided the requirements of the
Post Office Department are met.
The City will be required to build
street crossing and erect street
signs, and the patrons of free
delivery will be required to num
ber their houses and provide suit
able receptacles for deposit of mail.
An inspection of the contem
plated district to be included in the
free delivery service reveal the fact
that a number of street crossings
are needed and that practically all
the streets are without n;gns. In
order to obtain the free delivery,
it will be necessary to comply, at
once, with the requirements of the
Post Office Department as an in
spector will be sent here to make
a report of the conditions and an
HUVWrStf ItJfJUIL IIUIU IL1CJ
would mean that we would lose
the free delivery.
Immediate steps should betaken
by the Board of Aldermen, and by
the patrons, to bring the conditions
up to the standard required by the
Post Office Department,
Messrs. Dewitt S, Weaver, of
Memphis, and Leslie Weaver, of
Jackson, spent Sunday with home
folk in our city.
Mrs. Eugene Tarver has as her
guests for a couple of months her
sisters, Misses Ona and Vannie
Hamblett, of Merkel, Texas,
A. G. Carter Announces for
Alderman Ward 3.
In announcing Mr. A, G. Carter
this week as a candidate for Aider
man in Ward 3, we present to the
voters of this Ward a young man
ef sterling charaeter and worth,
who possesses unquestioned ac
quaintance with the city’s condi
tions, and sound judgement as to
our needs and the means to supply
them, but who has never before
asked for a political office.
Mr. Carter has been a resident
oitizen of Water Valley for the past
fifteen years; owns property, and
is identified intimately and perma
nently with our growth and pros
perity.
>1
Factions ana prejudices nnu uu
place iD his mind and heart; he is
a bona tide citizen and integral
part of our city, He believes in
push and advancement, an advo
cate of preparedness; but he is
not a visinmst or builder of air
castles, and considers the cost and
the sources of revenue as well as
what he would like to have or the
demands of his constituents,
Mr Carter would make a safe,
useful man on the Board.
Prof. Victor Tarver, City editor
of the Progress-Warden, and his
friend, Mr. Doan Phillips, returned
to Eli porn Tuesday r fter a few days'
visit to his parents, Mr, and Mrs.
O. T. Tarver, in our city.
