our good people of Grady for whom we are al
ways ready to incessantly labor for the common
good of all. We are reaching out in this man

yearly subscription price of The Progress is a
mere bagatelle, being less than two cents per.

our efficient corps of correspondents, to give all
the news of this splendid county of ours and we
want your co-operation, support and good will,

council only those who live inside of the corpor
ate limits of the town are compelled to be vac
cinated. Even this is not compulsory when the
people do not mingle with others.
The town authorities are not trying to force
compulsory vaccination upon the people of the
county, and those desiring to come to Cairo can
do so without fear of being vaccinated.
There is no danger.
AN ERROR CORRECTED.
It comes to The Progress that it is being
circulated in the country districts that those who
visit Cairo will be forced by the town authorities
to be Vaccinated.
This report is without any semblance of
truth.

( PLEASE DON’T FIGHT.
I remember Doctor Watts had a little poem
on cats and dogs that fought together, for ’tis
their nature to, And I recollect quite well that
he said we’d go to hell if we tried to. imitate ‘
these pets; so when we buy or sell, let us think
upon these morals if we hope to win the laurels
that wreath the brow of men who earn respect
where’er they dwell. If you are building for
yourself a home and saving pelf and raising up
a family to grace your name for aye, you will
keep a-seeking trouble for a disputatious bubble,
or will you take a tumble and hearken when I
say that there never was a cause that negatived
the laws of right that force would buttress or
sustain for any time? But if your claim is right,
you will find its greates might is found in free
discussion and not blowing out the light. — A.

MULES HAD NO
C0NIA6E0US DISEASE
In view of the fact that we have had
severaLBi^^mules .in-eur stable during
the past few days and have had three
to die, we wish to state that they were
not afflicted with any contagious dis
ease and the public need have no fears
about buyiug or trading for stock from
our (Stable on this account. All of the
sickknules were fresh shipped ones,
having arrived here on Saturday morn
ing, February 11, and some of them
were immediately taken sick and three
veterinarians have pronounced the
trouble to be inflamation of the stomach
^used by" improp'er'"reeding Sr - feed
that was damaged in some way. As
th'Sjv were fed twice by the Railroad
while in transit, it is possible that the
damaged feed was given them before
they Cached here.
We’hope that none of our friends and
customers will with-hold their trade on
account of above as we need it now
more than ever and will guarantee to
give you stock that are free from all
disease.
In oreer to more thoroughly satisfy
the public that it was no contagious
disease with which our stock was af
flicted we are publishing herewith a
signed statement from three of the
best veterinarians in the country.
Cairo, Ga., Feb. 13, 1911.
This is to certify that the death of
the mules in J. D. Holman’s stable
during the last few days was not caused
by any contagious disease but from im
properfeeding.

Cairo, Ga., Feb. 14, 1911.
This is to certify that I, Dr. N. E.
Coffield, V. S., examined and treated
mules delivered by A. C. L. Railway
Co., to J. D. Holman and find that
death of said mules was not caused by

Cairo, Ga., Feb. 15, 1911.
This is to certify that I did examine
and assist J. D. Holman in the treat
ment of his stock until he could get his
veterinary and I am positive that the
mules did not die from any contagious
disease, but from eating damaged food
that had become poisonous.
