Last Thursday O. IB. Riley was in
town on business. The Greeks, we
are told, have an adage that "tho
good die young." Fortunately, Mr.
Riley has put that stuff to llight. It
was almost thrilling to see him upstairs,
and in County Agent Masscy's
office, discussing plans for cotton
acreage this year with as much intelligence
and enthusiasm as any youngster.
Whether H9 or 90 in May, is
not remembered, but either will do
as a record breaker.
