Road Supervisor Keeton is Grateful to Voters

As Decatur County Road Supervisor, it appears that 20-year veteran David Keeton has the county oil house running like the proverbial "well-oiled machine". Keeton runs unopposed again in August.

Keeton and his wife, Judith Ballinger Keeton, are lifelong Decatur Countians. Judith has been with the post office for twenty-five years. They have a daughter, Kari Keeton Voughtman in Leabon.

Keeton offered the people of the county the following message: I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to all the people of Decatur County for allowing me to serve as your Road Supervisor. It has been a pleasure to work for each of you.

Through the years, I have tried to divide our employe(e)s and equipment equally throughout the county and I feel that our employees have done a good job. We will continue to do our best for all of Decatur County.

I am asking for your vote and continued support in the August election.
