DR. HARRIS RE-ELECTED
PASTOR BAPTIST CHURCH.
Dr. R. H. Harris unanimously
elected to serve his sixth year.
Sunday was the day for Baptis
people to call the preacher for
another year.
Dr. Harris was nnanimously
elected.
This will make six years that Dr.
Harrishas served this church each
time being elected with a solid vote
When the Dr; took charge of
the Cairo Baptist church five
years ago it had on roll one hun
dred and ten or twenty members.
And today the membership of
this church stands over three
hundred.
During the year 1910 Dr. Har
ris recived into this church seven
ty three members and did not
have a protracted meeting.
Dr. Harris is a good preacher
and a pastor and the Cairo people
love him. J.

The Annual Trade Review
of the
Savannah Morning News
Through inadvertency, the
messenger who brought in our
forenoon mail, on the date of
the issue of the Savannah paper
named in our caption, failed to
lay that number on our private
table. Thus it escaped our ob
servation until too late for proper
and merited notice, in our last
week’s edition. But, feeling, as
we do, that such a magnificent
exhibition of enterprise on the
part of its publishers ought to
receive due encomiums from even
the humblest of its contemporari
es, we give voice to our senti
ments, even at the eleventh hour.
That edition of the News, con
sisting of sixty-eight pages, all
brimful of matter, many profuse
ly illustrated and each replete
with information of value to
thousands of readers in three
states, is doubtless greatly ap
preciated, in every quarter of
the land into which the wide
circulation of the paper extends.
People who have been accus
tomed to regard Savannah as an
old-fashioned, behind-the-times,
dolcefar niente sort of shade-
lazy, sprawling town, will be a
mazed (as many already have
been) if they will only read the
evidence furnished on those teem
ing pages of the up-to-date busi
ness enterprise and activity, as
well as the thrift and prosperity
of that truly charming and ir
many respects typical old South
ern city. Let them read, for in
stance, such figures as follow
Savannah’s trade, in dollars,
1910-11: Cotton, 113,000.000
Naval Stores, 15.600,000; Lum
ber, 7,000,000; Fertilizers and
Phosphates, 13,000,000; Grocer

On Friday, last as Mess. 4 Tom
Miller, Vaughn Hurst, L. E. Hare
anb Jesse Allred were returning
from Thomasville in the Case car
oi H J. Hart’s, the steering
gear suddenly became loose and
the car took to, the woods despite
the hard work of Mr. Allred to
control it. i As it whirled into a
six-foot ditch i£ tufned complete

tween the top and seat aud dis
locating his left arm. No one
was hurt any more than a good
jolt.

its work in the first degree and
if you don’t believe it just drop
around and try it sometime, or
watch them on the job and you
can see that it is work and hard
work, yet they have done all this
and they have given free concert
after free concert on the streets.
They always have a good crowd.
Now, what about their pay con
certs, have they had the crowd?
No, they have not and it is a
shame tnat they haven’t. If
some moving picture show or
some Mr. Speaker, or some cheap
filthy circus were to cotoe along,
then what about it? Would
they go, why, certainly they
would go and talk the rotten
jokes and such for six months
afterward. Yet when some clean
bunch of home boys work hard
and get up something refined and
nice, that is fit for both young
and old to see. and hear, they
will have about two dozen out to
hbarthem. Is it right? No, and
ypu know it, then what makes
you do it? Let me toll you what
let’s do. The boys are going to
give us the best concert we have
ever had right here at the court
house Friday night. Now let’s
clear our conscience by getting
together and being on hand, they
promise something and offer the
same inducement as any other
show that you- ever went to.
“If*you are not satisfied, we will
refund your money.” .

Handed In By Mrs. Roy Ponder.
Does it pay to maintain a na
tional quarantine against crimin
al and dependent classes from a-
broad and license 250,000 saloon
keepers to manufacture such pro
ducts at home?
which lessens the demand for the
helpful things of life, which in
creases their cost and diminishes
the ability to pay for them?
MORE FARMERS
COMING TO GRADY.
Mr. J. J.
am
HAD
TO SEE
THAT PIANO.
The Band boys made a hard
fight for life, but failed after all;
they have been struggling for
three years now trying to pay for
their instruments and keep their
teacher and incidentals paid up
as they went along and they
have done fine work.
Their instruments cost them to
date about $1,200. and with the
exception of about $100. they are
all paid for, but in the meantime
they had to dispose of their piano
to meet a note that had fallen
due. The boys pay out each
month $60. for a teacher and
about $15. for rent and other
running expenses, making a cost
of about $75. each month to keep
going; this has to be paid by
about fifteen boys, costing them
$5. and upward each month to pay
actual running expenses besides
the payments that come due on
their instruments every few
months.
The people of Cairo have help
ed them some, they have made a
little away at other places, and
the farmers have paid them some
and of course they have done
right well with their concerts
that they have had along at times,
but just stop and think for a
minute what these energetic boys
have done for Cairo, they have
not only paid out their hard-earn
ed money for teachers, etc., but
they have done the work, have
met once and twice every week,
hot or cold, rain or shine, sick or
well and backed themselves up
against a hard chair and blowed
with all‘their might for three or
four hours at a time, now don’t
and get'to the $»'
j'ust-tfiis: layout doojf^^md
don’t get liberal and^hfe°p the
boys out, they cannot keep going,
so, now let’s all be generous with
ourselves and them, toq, and do
all, we can to keep the band go
ing. You may not think so but
if the band go busted, you would
miss it and miss it bad.
Don’t be a> “Tight Wad” any
longer; limber up and come out
to the concert or call Wh. some
time and drop a dollar or two in
the hat to help the boys. They
need it and will appreciate it . J
FAIR GROUNDS BEING
CLEANED UP.
See. Weathers and Treas. For
syth woke Monday morniug feel
ing “Fair” and started some
thing.
They are hard at work getting
the grounds cleared up and planed
off.
Prospects are bright for a good
Fair; the farmers are taking in
terest and means success, .
We know of quite a number of
sure and interesting exhibits that
are going to be made and Sec.
Weathers tells us that applications
are coming in every day for space.
Every body should get busy
and make an exhibit of some kind
whether you get a prize or not it
will help for Grady County to
make a good show.
Don’t forget to boast for the
Fair its our first and we all want
it to be a success.
Come on now and be social
bring along a half bushel of po
tatoes or peanuts and a great big
smile aud lets all whoop ’em up
for Grady.
