A New County. Why Not?
In various parts of the state
the people at the corners of two
or more large counties are pre
paring to make a change in the
constitution of the state m or
der that new counties may be
laid off from these large coun
ties where they thus corner.
And Cairo is in the midst of a
section that needs just such
knifing. To take a slice off of
Decatur and another from Thom
as would give us a jam-up little
county with plenty of area and
make Cairo the county seat
would suit the people ot the
tion to a T, as it would bring
the county saat nearer by.
There is no telling whai may be
done until a thing is tried and
the First thing to be done is
amend the constitution to
effect. Then the matter of
new county with Cairo as
county seat could be
with a resonable degree of
cess.

to her and kiss her. You can’t
imagine how it will brighten her
dear face. Besides you owe her
a kiss or two. Away back when
you were a little girl she kissed
you when no one else was tempt

and swolen face. You were not
as attractive then as you are now.
And through those years of child

was ready to cure by the mag

dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured in those first
skirmishes with the rough world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad
dreams as she leaned over

terest these long, long years.
Of course she is not so
and kissable as you are, but if
