Writing in to renew his sub-
scription, Dr. F. Fagan Thomp-
son of Cullman, Ala., former De-
port boy, asks for a good deer
hunt write up this year for the
benefit of these “arm chair hunt-
ers.” But suppose the editor fails
to connect this year, Doctor? Just
like any other average deer hunt-
er, he sometimes fails to get a
buck; then he might be ex-
tremely lucky and get two. Nev-
er can tell about a deer hunt. A
buck’s eyes are sharp, his hear-
ing acute and his nostrils can de-
tect your presence several hun-
dred yards away if the wind is
in his favor. TTien there are
•ome men who can’t hit a moving
target with a rifle, and a bound-
ing buck, putting 20 feet between
you and him at every jump, is
much harder to hit in the right
spot to stop him than shooting
at a black spot on a white card
The man who has never been deer
hunting and thinks it is just as
easy to kill .a buck as going out
and shooting down a bull yearl-
ing should give it a try. And it
requires the elation of a kill for
an editor to write much of a deer
hunting story.

A city, county, state or national
government is.no better than the
people make it with their ballots
Scientists claim that you can
now get a one-way trip to the
moon via the jet rocket route.
Don’t crowd, gentlemen.
How long, oh, how long, will
we have to wait before we again
starting to elect statesmen to of-

The door of opportunity is al

because we spend so much time
looking back at the closed doors.

Our young reader up the street
says he would have a stronger
desire to reach the top if he only
cculd make the trip on a tobog-

Honoring the 100th anniversary
of the City of Mt. Pleasant and
seventy-fifth of th^ Mt. Pleasant
Times, that newspaper published
* 5<J-page special edition last Fri-
day that is a credit to Bill Cross,
publisher, and his assistants, and
the business interests of that fine
city whose advertising patronage
made it possible. It was replete
■with interesting articles regard-
ing the growth of Mt. Pleasant
and Titus County and numerous
pictures of the city and its in-
dustries. Half a page in the edi-
tion was devoted to Talco and its
cil field. Mt. Pleasant has had
a remarkable growth during the
past eight years and a right con-
siderable portion of it can be at-
tributed to the Talco oil field,
which pays 54',' of the county’s
ad valorem taxes and supplies oiP
for Mt Pleasant’s biggest indus-
try, the oil refinery. Water, elec-
tric and gas meters and tele-
phones have shown an increase
of 100 *'/, during the eight year
period. Much work and research
was necessary to publish such an
anniversary edition and our hear-
tiest congratulations go to Pub-
lisher Bill Cross and his assist-
ants, along with the hope for
many more anniversaries.
Elections are important. They
increase hand-shaking, create
friendships, resurrect forgotten
jokes and revive interest in hu-
man nature.
Southern throats can take a lot
of punishment, but there is a
limit. They can’t swallow every-
thing Presdent Truman pokes
down ’em without gagging.
A paragrapher deplores the
fact that there are not more $2
bills in circulation. He says they
come in pretty handy for buying
a dollar’s worth of anything.
Nations that have failed to set-
tle their differences by the help
