LL.I I RS TO THE EDITOR


 Dear Editor:
 We folks in Hamilton
County have a chance to
change our future. An elec-
tion in September will give
us the opportunity to vote
out those rascals that are
not doing the job they were
elected to do.
 When a politician tells
me that the only reason to
vote them in is because of
their pedigree, something
is wrong. I want to know
where they stand on issues,
and what they will try to
accomplish over the next
four years.
 I don't care if it is the
school board, county com-
missioners, county judge,
or the city council. If after
eight years they are unable
to claim that they as an in-
dividual made a significant


change for the betterment
of our community, then
that individual needs to hit
the road, and new blood
needs to come in and give it
a go.
 The leadership of the past
has made our Hamilton
County what it is today; if
you are not happy with it,
now is the time to change it.
. You as an elector have
the power to force the
change. The right to vote
has been kept secure. all
these years by the individ-
ual who was willing to die
to protect it, don't through
that right away.

 Dear Editor:
 On behalf of the Hamil-
ton County Memorial VFW


Post 8095, I extend our sin-
cere appreciation to all the
candidates who participat-
ed in our non-partisan po-
litical rally Thursday, Aug.
10, and to everyone who
came to the rally. It was a
great opportunity for our
community to meet with
the candidates and become
better informed voters. It is
our hope that everyone will
exercise their right to vote
in the upcoming elections.
 The VFW also wishes to
thank Jasper Foodway,
Jasper Hardware, Banks of
the Suwannee, and Hamil-
ton Printing for their contri-
butions to the Post for our
fund raiser drawing, and
thanks also to Vonnie


Wood and Kanoye Capps
for providing their beauti-
ful music for the program,
and Marty Wood for setting
up the sound system.
 We were so humbled by
the presentations to the
Post of a special American
flag flown in the Middle
East by returning veteran
Mike Williams, as well as,
the framed art work hon6r-
ing veterans presented by
Laura Deas, Supervisor of
Elections.
 We are very grateful to
our community for sup-
porting the VFW in all of
our endeavors.

 Lamar Royals,
 Commander Post 8095
