As for promoting the movement for the relinquishment of the islands, the present controversy is not apt to have favorable effect.

In Large Letters (Alabamian-Dtspatch1

We all want to see Tuscumbia put on the map in as large letters as the name Muscle Shoals. The old saying is true. a town Is just what the people make it. With new buildings going up we will make Tuscumbia a city instead of a town of three thousand popula- tion. If a few moro of our citi- zens who have downtown vacant lots would put building on them 1t would not only add to the beauty of Tuscumbia, but would be bringing in a little revenue.

 Once the trail across the prairies And the mountains and the deserts Was a trail of lurking danger Where the tribes of savage redmen Hid behind the rocks and bushes And assailed the palefaced tourists With their tomahawks and arrows. Gone are all the ancient redmen From the mountains and the deserts And the mesas and prairies, But their modern sons and daughters Lurk around the railroad stations And assail the palefaced tourists With their tomahawks and arrows And their moccasins and beadwork And their pottery and ash trays Made in Paterson, New Jersey.
