VOL. CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FR'IDAY, APRIL 7, 1911. ISO. 38' A CERTAINTY Company Being in Process of Organization TARTING OFF WITH $25,000 CAPITOLS \jkn jg|- Will. Be Under Management and Owned by Cairo and Grady County People. Cairo is to have a fertilizer fac tory. This can be said to be authorita tive. The company is now being or ganized and will probably apply for a charter within the next week or two. The parties who have this mat ter in hand are fully able to carry it to a successful termination. At present the capital stock will be about $25,000 and may go as high as $50,000. ‘ This section of the state is sad ly in need of such an enterprise, and as the farmers are each year using more and more fertilizer it ; ! -is predicted that it will be a fi- ‘ vnancial success. iC - It was fully expected that every . , thing would be ready to perfect i .- an organization this week but .. , §ome Of the parties interested ; were compelled to be out of town. - ' ' This is one of the pet enter- v • prises advocated by The Pro- -ofysss for several month. J The incorporators will be The Cannon Co., W. B. Roddenber, Walter Davis, W. H. Robinson. The next move is a furniture factory. The timber for such an interprise is here in abundance and as fine as can be found in any section of the United States. With nearly a half million de posits in the four banks in the ^county shows that ample capitol is in the county to finance almost any enterprise the people are willing to undertake. Will not some of our enterpriz- ing citizen undertake to establish a furniture factory. Get busy and make Cairo grow.

He Had Lived In This Section For Many- Years. Died, at the residence of his son, Dr. 1. J. Arline, John K. Arline, aged 81 years, 9 months and .26 days. Born June 5th, 1829, and died April 1, 1911, aie the dates of Brother Arline’s natural life, j but the mere statement that he was born and that he died do not tell the complete history and they can not measure the result of the life he lived. Born in Lawrence county, he was brought by his parents to this section, then Decatur county, when lie was but two years of age and so he spent eighty years in this section and his life was read and known of all men. Here he lived and loved and served his fellows; here he walked after the Master, loved his church and served God. Of a quiet and gentle disposition, he was never forward in pushing himself before his fellows, but humbly, gently and meekly he bore life’s trials, carried its. burdens and did' his duty unto the end and then in a ripe old age, with all his loved ones around him, “he fell.on sleep by the will of God” and went home to heaven. One.who knew Bro. Ailine inti mately said “I can’t- remember of his ever backsliding.” He always maintained his family altar, gath ering his family around him for the worship of God. He frequently prayed that his last days might be his brightest and happiest and this prayer was granted. His sick bed was near unto heayen and the an gels of God we're close to His ser vant. Conscious unto the last, he talked as calmly of death as one would of a short journey. His mind was clear unto the last and he wit nessed a good confession. Heaven came near to that sick chamber and tlicre'weroTisjnrm of loved ones a„‘,i ht ,: ook tetiom pt!ceB above all the Master, Himself, was|Thk Progress, with His servant as he went through the valley of the shadow of death. The funeral was held at the Meth odist church, which was filled with relatives and sympathizing friends. Rev. W. C. Jones conducted the services, assisted, byRev. Dr. Harris and ,)Rey. W.EiTowson, Tlid fii- neral address was a note of triumph and thanksgiving for the long and beautiful life of Bro. Arline. Bro. Jones spoke from personal knowl edge, having been his pastor for three years, While there was sad ness over the thought that we should see his face no more, yet there was jov in the thought that God’s servant had fought such a good fight and at last was crowned victor. At the gravo Bro. Arline’s niece, Mrs. Mary Logue, of Boston, and his two sisters sang, by his request, one of the old songs, two yerses of which are as follows. Wliat’s this that steals, that steals up on my frame, Is it death, is it death? That soon will quench, will quench this vital flame, Is it death, is it death? If-this be death I soon shall be From every paiu and sorrow free, I shall the King of Glory see, Allis well, all is well! Weep not my friends, my friends weep not for me, All is well, all is well, My sins are,pardoned, pardoned, I am free, ■ All is well, all is well, There’s not a cloud that doth arise To hide my Jesus from my eyes: ■I soon shall mouut the upper skies, All is well, all is well! The singing of this old-time song revived memories of other days and brought tears to many eyes. Besides numerous friends and ac : quaintanees, there were present at the funeral Mrs- Arline, Dr, and Mrs. T, J. Arline and children, his, sons, Ira, R. L., ancl J. J. Arline and Wife, his two daughters, Jose phine and Lela, his sister, Mrs. Homer Sapp and Miss Margare Arline, his niece Mrs. Maly Logue,, his brother-in-law, J. ,T. Sapp and son O. P. Sapp, besides several grandchildren. HOOK WORM VERY PLENTIFUL IN GRADY Dr. Fitzgerald Has Completed Hts Work In Grady County and Announce That They Are in Abandonee. Dr. P. H.
