Year right! Boost, but don't knock.
We must all admit that we are living
in one Of the best counties in the
United States, in a climate surpassed
by none; soil that will produce prac-
tically all the necessities of life: good
schools and churches; good roads and
modern improvements; an intelligent
and moral class OF citizens to asso.
ciate with; no cyclones or droughts
or floods to destroy our crops and
homes. and oftentimes our lives. We
should be thankful for the privilege
Of living in Delta County. the source
Of luscious fruits. succulent vegetables,
golden grains. cattle. hogs and sneep.
and good water: a home of beautiful
sunshine and plenty. We might also
class ourselves with the famous blue
grass regions of Kentucky. with our
pretty women, fast horses and good
(rather bad) whiskey. But remember,
everybody should talk prosperity.
The people who complain about the
tyranny of style frequently won't buy
anything unless 1t is in the latest
fashion.
