THE COOPER REVIEW
Opal T. Preas
Thanks Voters For
Demo Nomination
TO THE CITIZENS OF DELTA.
COUNTY:
When I wa« to return to
Cooper and Delta County after
more than three years military
service, I knew that I was ex-
tremely fortunau and blessed.
Truly, the new friends we made
in working toward a great and
common cause, as in this past
war, are great friends; but I
can’t say how happy I am to a-
gain be with my life-long fri-
ends and acquaintances of Delta
County,
And now that I have been
granted the honor and privelege
to serve as your next County
Treasurer, I want each of you to
know that I am sincerely grate-
ful. For these reasons I regret
that I was unable to see each
of you on account of 'my present
employment with the U. S. De-
partment of Health. Hence, I hope
you will accept this as my person-
al message of appreciation to you
and as my assurance to y
I shall strive to the best of my
ability at all times to render the
efficient and courteous servicea
tljat you as citizens of Delta coun-
ty expect and deserve.

MILLER’S PHARMACY
Brother, this hot sun is coming
down, and the old swimming hole
on the Gist farm known as "Pitts
hole’’ has a greater attraction for
me than the open road or a 4th
of July endurance contest The
water is clear and cold, big trees
line the banks and make a million
dollar shade in whicu white faced
cattle stand or lie chewing their
cuds. The birds twitter in the
branches while the clear cold
water ripples over gravel beds on
down, down, down into big Cy-
press and eventually into the Gulf
where it will be taken up by evap-
oration and brought back in the
clouds to be poured out and run
down again.
When I was a child more than
sixty years ago this process was
going on, no doubt it was going
on when Columbus discovered
America off in the dark ages, or
when Christ was born or when the
Pyramids were built, and if the
world stands it will go on for a
thousand or ten thousand years
^et, and while a mad seething
world stews and boils it is blessed
to steal away to these quiet re-
treats out of the range of cam-
paign thunder and a price ceiling
fight where one can be close to1
nature and close to God. There
you can come a thousand times
nearer working out a lasting
peace.

Expresses Thanks
For Fine Support
TO THE VOTERS OF PRE-
CINCT TWO:
At this time I wish to express
my appreciation for the fine sup-
port given me in last Saturday's
election for commissioner.
I am grateful for your con-
fidence and support in the past,
and desire your continued sup-
port in the second primary. I have
given my best service for the
county during these critical times
and will, if re-elected, continue to
do so to the best of my ability.
If I do not see each and everyone
personally between now and next
election, I take this opportunity
to ask for your vote on August 24.
WESLEY O. WALLACE
When I listen to the radio and
read the newspapers how they are
trying to bring peace to this war
torn world—which they will never
do by the method used now—I
wonder if any of them ever
thought of taking the advice the
Lord gave Solomon. If my people
pie which are called by my name
shall humble themselves and pray,
and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven and will forgive their
sins and will heal their land. So
plain, so simple, so easy. All the
peace conferences could adjourn
and go home. We are a nation of
tired, worn out people. I seldom
talk to a man but what he says,
“I am tired all the time.” And all
our fine land that used to be in
cultivation is now in grass and
what little crops there are are’
sick. We are in a turmoil and
strife. We are in debt three hun-
dred billion dollars which will
never be paid. When the answer
is in the scripture just quoted.
0, why will ye die, House of
Israel?
think we have gone too much for j
the humor and neglected the other, j
I love clean humor as well as any ’
man but there are times—and
often times—when humor falls a
million miles short of satisfying
that eternal longing Hiside for
something that only the divine
can give. Millions of people seek
amusement from every known
source, but it is short lived and
doesn’t satisfy after all. I kn«w
a man who tried to laugh off every-
thing and would take nothing ser-
iously, but one day he met a pro-
position that he could not laugh
off. That day is ahead of us all
and with some not too far. Well,
I had no idea of preaching when
I began, but I guess anybody has
a right to preach. At any rate
I have no apologies to make. It
was from the heart.
J. P. Watson Thanks
Voters And Friends
Of Precinct Three
There is a humorous side to
life, and there is a serene side. I
I want to take this method to
thank the voters and my friends
for the splendid vote I received in
the recent primary election.
It has been a pleasure meeting
and talking with you. 'You will
always have my kindest regards.
Yours very truly,
J. P. (rie*-) WATSON
is lots of people are by money
like a cat fish is talcum powder.
They don’t contact very much of
it if it is claimed to be plentiful.
I bought a lady a dish pan re-
cently and she was surprised that
I got it. Said there was a dish pan
shortage. I told her that I could
not tell it around our house as
there was always plenty of dish
pans and dishes to wash and I
know there is no shortage on wash
tubs, rub boards, and such like,
but there is a terrible shortage on
wash wood. I have heard that
there was a shortage on shirts and
other apparel men sometimes wear
but I did not know it. In fact, the
world could have been out of ev-
erything but a few items in the
grocery line and I would not have
known it. You never know about
these things when you have not
bought any in six or eight years.
I have heard that there was plenty
of money, that everybody had
money. I did not know that and I
don’t believe it either. It would be
hard to convinoe a cat fish that
there was such a thing as talcum
powder because he has never con-
tacted any of it, and the truth
I met an old friend of mine re-
cently whom I have not seen in a
good many years. He is in the
lumber business and I asked him
if he was still selling lumber, ar,d
in a low tone of voice he „aid,
‘‘Brother, I am not giving it a-
way.” That is just about the an-
swer to all our economical chug
holes we have run into here of
late. “They just haint nobody giv-
ing nothing away.” That’s why
OPA is getting such an airing out.
That is why we have strikes and
unions are organised. That is
why farmers sweat long hours in.
the heat. That is why the mer-
chant, the business man, the day
laborer and everybody else lay
awake at night wondering if this
week’s pay check will meet the de-
mands. Nobody ain’t giving noth-
ing away. Of course nobody could
stay in business long and give
everything away, but more of us
could be in business and stay long-
er if less of the “cat hair” was de-
manded in exchange for an item.

Thanks Voters For
Saturday Majority
l want to express my apprecia-
tion to the voters of Delta coun-
ty in receiving a majority last
Saturday for which I am grateful.
To those who did not support
me, I have no ill will toward
you, and to those in Road Dis-
trict One, I want to say as I
have said before, when and if
your road will be accepted, I
will be in there asking the
Highway Department to taka
over and maintain it.
Since I have been your coun-
,ty judge, your road has been
asked for three times by your
Commissioner’s Court and up
to now it has been refused.
So in conclusion, I want to
thank everyone for all the favors
shown me.
Yours to serve,

To my friends who voted and
worked for me, I appreciate it
very much, and to those who did
not vote for me I do not hold the
least grudge, as that is your priv-
ilege. - I » g'V 1— I,
My reason for running was
that I wanted to see the County
get all of the good roads possible,
as it did not look like then and
does not look now that we era
getting our share of the roads
or contracts let, as all the Coun-
ties have from 4-7 contracts
each, and we do not have one
contract let.
It is better for me not to hava
the office as I can make much
more than it pays, and I c«x
now be loose to do as I like with
my personal business.
I thank you one and all.
