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.
