Residents of Mississippi Township in southeast Desha County say secession may be needed to escape long drives to the county seat Arkansas City.

They note rivers and a wildlife refuge isolate the township and cite poor roads and lengthy commutes for students as factors. Some propose joining Phillips County, Helena being the nearer county seat.
