'T'l j VOL. 2 CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, o.v' SEPTEMBER 14 191 NO. 9 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.

That makes a total of $264,900,000! The total, in 1908-9 was $203,000,000. A clear gain, in two years, of $61,900,0001 That certainly does not sound very'much like Rip Van Winkle- ism—does it? H. n Don’t^you allow the “wet” pa pers to fool you into the belief •that the “Antis” have killed “Prohibition,” in Maine, fc Many men would shout as well - as legions of demons .cacchinnate, if that were true. BUT IT IS NOT TRUE, YET!! H. The foregoing was in type be 7 fore W® received the latest from Maine, concerning it. 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 ies, 11,000,000; Liquors add Tob acco, 8,750,000; Dry-gooda and «, ill mi w mu Tom Miller’s Arm dislocated. I « ' ' * v • 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 ly over, catching Tom Miller be tween the top and seat aud dis locating his left arm. No one was hurt any more than a good jolt. Mr. Miller was immediately taken back to Thomasville, and giv^n medical attention byvDy.}; Palmer.- " : l £'•" ; V . < * .The top was torn from the car nd the axle bent.. T. 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.” . But to cut this write-up short ir ga. w. T. U. 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.
