What’s up Doc? Could it be the
City is needing money? That’s
odd. The bootleggers are rid¬
ing in fine cars.
What does a city need money
for? Why, gentlemen, you could
stop the sale of cigarettes and soft
drinks, and a few other items
and there would be nobody on
the streets, so you wouldn’t have
to sweep the streets. If every¬
body moved away and no new
people came in, there would be
no need fro street lights, or police
force, and the light and water
plant would have practically noth¬
ing to do. Why,: don’t you see?
It’s simple for a city to save mon¬
ey.
It’stoo bad if they need money
over at the City Hall. All those
I talked to said they would wait
until Dec. 20th., to pay their
taxes—even if City funds got so
low they had to cu off the lights
and water.
I have had my business agent
take stock of my financial status,
and as a result have decided to
make a most generous and public
spirited offer.
Upon condition that other civic
minded citizens come forth to
help, I will donate $1,000.00 to¬
ward the construction of a mil
ldon-dollar municpal race track
for the city of Cairo.
Of course I don’t know yet what
kind of races we could have. May¬
be hound-dog races, or an all¬
breed dog race. There’s quite a
few around here that are going
to die if they don’t get some form
of exercise. Or perhaps we could
have an annual mule race; and
call it the “Old Dobbin Derby.”
I am sure Carl Nicholson, and his
mule Company, would cooperate,
and enter several fine, high-step
ping mules.
-Since nearly everybody is bet¬
ter off financially than I am, no
donations will be accepted for
lesis than a $1,000. So, step right
up, folks. The line forms to the
left. Let’s put this project over
right

SOME PEOPLE expect The
Messenger to give their projects
space and publicity, which we
usually do; tout when they need
printing done, they go some¬
where else to get it. Of course
we appreciate attitudes like that,
and will not forget them.

I am grateful to you faithful
readers who climb over, around,
in between, and under these ad¬
vertisements to read this column.
Certainly those who read it, don’t
do so because they just happen
upon it. Believe me, you have
to hunt it. It wouldn’t surprise
me any week if it is put onder
some of these ads. Of course,
there are some who would be
quite delighted if it were under
/he advertisements—anywhere
so long as it was out of sight. If
you ever miss it entirely, you’ll
know that’s where it is.

Major W. T. Verran, the genial,
hard-working Commandant of the
Cairo High Band, gave' me the
following little article aibout
music:
“No one knows what music is.
It is performed, listened to, com¬
posed, and talked about; but its
essential reality is as little un¬
derstood as that of its first cousin,
electricity. We know that it de¬
taches the understanding, en¬
abling thoughts to turn inward
upon themselves and clarify; we
know that it releases the human
spirit into some solitude of medi¬
tation where the creative process
can freely act; we know that it
can sooth ipain, relieve anxiety,
comfort distress, exhiliarate
health, confirm courage, inspire
clear and bold thinking, ennoble
the will, refine the taste, uplift
the heart, stimulate intellect, and
do many other interesting and
beautiful things.
And yet, when all is said and
done, no one knows what music
is. Perhaps the explanation is
that music is the very stuff of
creation itself.”—Lucien Price.
That’s the first time I ever
knew music was a first cousin to
electricity! I didn’t even know
they were related. I had been
considering taking some piano
lessons from that fine music
teacher, Mrs. George T. Hardy.
But if music is related to electri¬
city, I think I’ll leave it alone.

SHOWN ABOVE are cows grazing in winter pasture. A combina¬
tion winter and summer pasture is vrey desirable. Coastal Ber¬
muda grass overseeded with Crimson clover, planted on suitable
land, and fertilized and managed properly, has proven to be a very
successful pasture in this county. (U. S. Soil Conservaton Service
