Did it ever occur that the ladies of Cairo would like to have a citv park? It has to us and others and it has been mentioned by some of the more enterprising citizens of this place. Just think after the ladies have worked hard all day in the house, don’t you think that they would like to have a nice cool, shady place to go too and sit, read and rest? Some place where they could take the children where they would be safe at play, and not have to be looked after every time a vehicle passed would be more desirable. The men would not mind haying the park after it once is secured and they would be more than apt to use it as much, if not more, than the ladies. We have seen in and around Cairo several places that would be appro" priate for a park, which, we have no doubt, the owners would let be used as much without any charge, and it would not take a very large' outlay of money to equip it, With benches and a few swings. Stop and ponder over this ques tion and see if you do not think it a very wise plan, As Cairo is to have a board of trade we would suggest that the question of a city park be among the first things looked into and put into effect. Speak about this to your friend Your mother, wife, sister, and daughter would appreciate such, they certainly will. Automobile Club in Caito There is a large number of auto mobiles in Cairo and the roads are in a very bad condition. These motor car.owners should organize a Automobile Cliib and see if they can not inaugurate a good roads move ment in Grady county. Other towns have these clubs and are doing some mighty pretty work in the way of good road building, and the same could be done in this town and county if the right kind of enthuasiam was put. behind such an organization. ., In Cairo there will be found about twenty automobile owners and quite a larger number in the county. Out of this number a very enthusiasict automobile club could be organized and work of untold good could be done in a very short time. It would not take much hard work to arouse the necssary interest for good roads so let Cairo and Grady county show the outside world that they have some push and hustle in their system. T.'

It is seldom that anyone has the' opportunity to attend a three hun-, dreth anniversary and and especially of a world-wide event of the charac ter of this one. The telling of the story of the dear old Bible promises to be a notable occasion in Cairo- and one of much real interest and; profit. The general public is cor dially invited to attend these ser vices. Heard Him With Profit and Pleasure Thfe following was included in a letter to Col. M. L. Ledford, from his life long friend Dr. F, C. McConnell, now pastor of the- First Baptist church, at Waco,. Texas, who is a native Georgian.. He was once psstor of the Board, of Missions and resigned to be- pastor at Lynchburg, Va., re signed to become secretary of Home Board and served that capacity for years, then resigned to become pastor of the Fourth Baptist church at Kansas City, Mo., “I thank you for Dr.Harris’' sermons.
