HOW CITY WOULD LOOK
If FLOOD WERE HERE

If the DAYTON flood waters were
loosed on Atlanta they would extend
northward approximately as far as
Brookwood, southwark over West End,
eastward beyond Inman Park and west
ward nearly to Western Heights; the
water would be to the ceiling of the
Fourth National bank in the Fourth
National Bank building, eight feet high
in the Central Bank and Trust Corpora
ton, Gambler building, like distance
above the Whitehall street viaduct. ana
all but floating the Union depot. Office
building employees would be huddled by
the hundreds in the upper stories, While
people around Five Points would be
stepping out of second-story windows
into batteauN on their way to lunch. In
addition to this predicament, fire would
cause downtown workers to take to the
water like rats leaving a sinking ship.
Here and there along Peachtree help
less individual would be clingiug TO a
floating spar.
That is the picture which is present
ed to-day to Mrs David Yarbrough.

Marx Anhony's real name was
Marcus Antonlus, but he was a

fine education and picked up all the

result he started out in lite with a
good knowledge OF Latin, a fine
back stroke with a short sword. an
irresistible way with women, and a
thirst which began when he awoke

Mark was born in So r, C.. and
when a very young man helped Caes-

He then came home and. because he
came of a good family aud was good

Tribune. which was a fine job and
carried a lot of patronages. About
this time the Roman Senate tried to
get Caesar home in order TO give

a friend of the administration and
Mark lobbied SO successfully for
Caesar that the latter was able to

A Booster Suggestion,
Publicity pays.

Cairo cannot get too much OF It.
Residents of Cairo, past and pres
ent, believe it to be the biggest little
city In the world It Is up to us
to make the rest of the world agree
and We will have to cite some pretty
strong evidence to prove our claims.
Proof that Cairo is live" city Is
found in the fact that the member
ship Of the Cairo Automobile Club IS
rapidly approaching tn hundred
mark. This means that at least one
hundred residents OF Cairo are
wealthy enough to own and main
tain automobiles. Guess that's bad
for city of Cairo's size. There are
scores of automobile owners in Cairo
who are not members of the Auto
mobile Club, and we want every one
Of them to read this editorial
Automobiles are good ADVERTISE
ments for any city. A city that is
antomobileless can safely be put
put down as dead" one. but when
city can count its ears by tens and
pass the hundred mark it has some
thing worth Dragging about. but
what method of Dragging should be
pursued?
A suggestion.
At least IS per cent OF the automo-
bile enthusiasts of Ctairo devote at
least one day OF each summer month
to touring adjacent cities and towns
This is only a guess, but 1t sounds
reasonable enough to be correct,
Let us herd all Of these onee-a-
month tourists together and start
them on tour Of the surrounding
cities and towns at conc We could
have haners painted and literature
printed boosting Cairo. The banners
could be used to bedeek the autos
and the tourists could distribute the
printed matter.
Then we could get brass band
together. load the players on an
auto truck, We could boost, play
music and distribute literature at
every stop.
The spectacle of 80 ar IS banner
bedecked automobiles in line would
be bound to score a big advertising
hit for Cairo II would impress the
people of our sister cities and towns
OF Cairo progressiveness Whenever
they'd think of the big auto parade
they would be reminded of Cairo's
aggressivcness and prosperity. IT,
would urge them to bring their
spending money to the ''livest" town
In southern Illinois.
To maintain its reputation. Cairo
must boost persistently 1t cannot
afford to permit the outside world
to forget for single instant that 1t
Is the iivest'' as we'll as the big
gest little city in this section of the
country.
