WANTED-A LEADER.
The following editorial, from The Troy
Herald, is, we believe, applicable to Cairo
at this juncture. Where Troy’s name ap
pears substitute Cairo’s.
“There comes in the life of every being,
corporation and municipality a crisis,
time when we must either go backward or
forward. Has Troy reached the crisis? We
think so. It is to be up and onward with us
or are we going backward. There is no
such thing as standing still.
“Other towns in the state are advancing
and outgrowing us. Shall we sit calmly by
and see other towns go forward in the march
of progress, and are we gradually but surely
drifting backward? We hope not. Has
Troy (Cairo) not a man that will lead us for
ward? Lead us so we can reach out and
gather in what rightly belongs to us. Has
the love of the almighty dollar so warped
our nature that we are incapable of doing
anything that would benefit our town and
lumanity?
“We must realize that anything that is
a benefit to the town is a benefit to every
inhabitant in and around it.
Have we a man with civic pride enough
to see that our town is kept in the front
rank of this progressive age? Other towns
in the south are reaching out and starting
nbw industries and factories, thus inviting
more people to come within her borders.
We too must reach out and do these
things or we will be left behind in the march
of progress.
Will we sit idly by and boast of what we
have and see the people in other towns
around us working might and main to
build up their towns and are spending
money to do it. Go to any of these
towns and you will at once see the great
benefit that they have been to the place.
“Knowing that we have the location anc
an ideal climate and a citizenship unsur
passed, we again ask for the leader who wil
show us how to appreciate and enrich what
the Almighty has given us.
“The aim of this paper has always been
for the upbuilding of Troy and Pike county,
(Cairo and Grady county), and that is stil
our goal.
“Troy, [Cairo], has reached its crisis, the
hour has come. Where is the man?
“Be up and doing, for God hates a cow
ard."
church Sunday, the pastor having
been selected to preach that day for
the Brooks county Union Meeting,
Banvick.
At the Sunday morning service of
this week the pastor reported a very
pleasant and encouraging meeting
the Mercer Association last week
with the church at Funston, a few
miles west of Moultrie. Notwith
standing the stormy weather, the 1
attendance was good and the interest
tense. 1 he meeting was really a
gracious love feast, of the Baptist
type, from beginning to end.
wo or three church clerks failed to
send in their reports in time to be
read during the session; but the
showing made, of the associational
year’s work was, nevertheless, very
encouraging—even inspiring. The
next session of the body will be
held with the Thomasville church,
to open on Tuesday after the second
Sunday in October, 1911. Three
churches joined the association at
the late session and several others
are expected to join at the next
meetihg.
