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.
