ReadeH of the Bulletin and else
where are manifesting remarkable
interest in the proposition of the Re-
tail Merchants Association to select
new nickname for this city. The
Bulletin Is trying to help the mer-
chants out by giving publicity to the
proposition and inviting suggestions
as to whether the name Delta City
and Egyptian City should be cast
aside and new descriptive title Sc
lected.
The mail Sunday brought some
good suggestions and an interesting
letter from travelling salesman, now
stopping in Cairo. The suggestion
the City of Rivers has met with
hearty second. There is no
doubt that Cairo can lay claim to
this title and sustain il against all
the other cities of the country

Please allow me to say that Mrs

best and most appropriate name, and
the only name for our little city who

River City and no name could pos
