Cooksey best choice for Congress
(NOTE: The following Country Editor column was written by the late Sammy J. Franklin on September 11, 1996, prior to the 1996 Congressional election for the Fifth District. In memory of Dr. John Cooksey, who won the seat during that election and died over the weekend, we’re reprinting this editorial as Sammy and John were life-long friends.)
