  That's definitely the same location as the other photos, but I don't know which town it's near. That's the same small child in all the pictures -- orange shirt with a double white stripe at the sleeve; here he has his hat off.

  Google maps shows Mileston, Mississippi to be Southwest of Tchula on 49 and Marcella close by. Marion Post Wolcott, photographer, also took shots in Merigold, Leland, Belzoni, and Perthshire, which is on highway 1 between Rena Lura and Rosedale.

  His red truck is now in his right hand (behind). Still can't tell what else he's carrying (see previous pictures he's in).
