ested in such unit estab¬

I plenty of veterans who would
[like to join it, and interested. all the merch- They
lants should be
[could do themselves much more
! good by working on such a pro¬
ject rather than giving away
prizes and putting on other pro
I motional schemes which accom
jplish practically nothing.
I was told that a certain state
official (not the Governor), prom¬
ised in his campaign to set up a
guard unit in Grady County. But
since the election he seems to
have forgotten it. He may be
in another race soon; so now
might be the right time to re¬
mind him of his promise.
A National Guard unit would
be a great asset tu the county in
many ways, not the least of
which would be the money it
(brought in. If other places can
[have County them, why can’t Grady who
get one? Anyone
has influence where it will count
should step right up and help the
movement along. If enough peo¬
ple are interested, we can get
some action. If you are interest¬
ed in either joining, or in help¬
ing in other ways, get in touch
with Mr. Clark. We can have a
National Guard unit in Grady
County before you know it—if

OUR LEGAL ADS are in very
small type, and a lot of people
don’t' read them; but there’s one
in this issue you might be inter¬
ested in. Mr. P. M. Baggett,
Grady’s representative to the
General Assembly, is serving
notice that he will introduce a
bill in the January session deal¬
ing with a subject about which
quite a bit of comment has been
made recently. It is a bill “to
fix the salary for the Solicitor
and Clerk of the City Court of
Cairo and to fix the fees for the
Sheriff of said city Court of
Cairo, and for other purposes.”
Now that doesn’t tell much. It
could mean something or it could
mean nothing. I asked Mr. Bag¬
gett about the details of the pro¬
posed law, and he said they had
not been worked out yet. But
when the details have been work¬
ed out, he said he would make
them available to us. When we
get the full information as to
what this proposed law means, it
will be published on the front
page. This is something people
show know about.
The name “Old Glory” was
given to the American flag by
Captain William Driver, Salem,
Mass.
we can get the right people be¬
hind it.
* * *
When you don’t have anything
else to do, think on these things:
A lot of people around here
have a nice sense of rumor.
Women get along better than
men because they know less and
understand more.
Three things I like, but have
never understood—that’s music,
painting, and women. But why
try to understand them—if they
please.
John Barrymore, the actor,
said: “The way to fight a wo¬
man is with your hat. Grab it
and run.” If the late Mr. Barry¬
more had applied the same rule
to whiskey he might still be run¬
ning.
Sermons are like a piecrust:
the shorter the better. Some
sermons are about as tough and
tasteless too.
THIS IS A VERY delicate sub¬
ject. I don’t know just how to
approach it; but approach I must.
Let’s see, I think we’d better just
walk right in from the front:
There is a great need here in
Cairo for one or more public rest
rooms—in the downtown area—
especially for ladies, women
too. A lot of people come to
town to shop and remain all day;
then much to their discomfort
discover there is no place to rest,
or wash their haqds, etc. This
is a serious problem. Something
ought to be done about it right
now, since large crowds'will be
in town for Christmas shopping.
I call this to the attention of all
Cairo merchants who would
stand to benefit by taking some
action.
I am not jealous of this pro¬
ject. The Rotary Club, Kiwanis,
Chamber of Commerce, American
Legion, Masons, or the Boy
Scouts may volunteer to estab¬
lish a downtown public rest room.
Whoever is first may get the
honor, and the satisfaction or
rendering a real service to hu¬
manity. Too many of our or¬
ganizations keep minutes and
waste hours. Here’s a chance to
do something.
Well, that wasn’t so bad, was
it? I got through it without em
barassing anybody—except my
self.
1 have been accused of never
doing anything in this column
but stirring up strife and oontro
versies. But I always consider
the source of such remarks. That
kind of criticism pours off me
like water off a duck s back. I
don’t stir up controversies; the
controversies were here fester
ing all the time. You just take
a sharp word and lance them.
Then everybody feels better.
Makes for a more healthy situa
tion.
