MORE WORK AND BETTER WORK
Hon. j. J. Coppage, chair
man of the board of County
Commissioners, informs this
paper that it is a unanimous
decision of the Board, to
make some changes in the
manner of road working in
Grady county.
“The work in the past”,
said Mr. Coppage, “has not
been satisfactory; we have
been trying to~ work on too
cheap a plan, that is* we
have not had men enough to
get the results needed and
desired. We are going to put
on several more foremen; if
they can deliver the goods,
as we say sometimes, they
will have a job. If they fail
to get results, they lose; we
are determined to have more
work and better work or
quit. The Board is tired of
paying out money without
results; we feel that the
Superintendent has done the
best he could with the help
he had. Now we are going
to give him more help and
better help and demand bet
ter results. If we fail to
get results, some other coun
ty can have Grady’s convicts
and we will cease to spend
the county’s monev.”
That sounds good to us
and it will sound better to
the people of Grady county.
It takes just such a determi
nation as that to get results
and when th'e people's mon
ey is being spent results
should be the first and great
est consideration.
We are informed that Dr.
Ragsdale, the learned pastor
of the First Baptist church,
is going to farming. He
has purchased a farm, mulet
plows and other fixtures,
and we would not be sms
prised to see him don a woo.
hat any old day. We ad
vise the Doctor to be much
in prayer. The farmer’s
pathway is not strewn with
roses, and we are of the opin
ion that our-dear brother
and pastor will be a poorer
but wiser man Jan. 1st 1914
There is a tendency among
the youths of both sexes
now-a-days to ignore a
knowledge of the Bible as a
necessary accomplishment.
We want to say that no ed
ucation, however broad and
deep, is complete with
out a thorough knowledge
of the Bible. All the great
men of the modern world
have been great Bible readers
Without its knowledge and
the spirit it inculcates, . you
are NOTHING. Take this
great book from civilization
and the world would rush,
like a Mississippi flood, back
to barbarism and pagan
darkness.

Another New Year is with us.

the Progress, its readers and the
new Editor.
Farmers in this section are
busy getting ready for the next
crop. But I have never seen so
much moving as there seems to
be this January.
Dr. A. B. Reynolds and Miss
Mae Maxwell were happily mar

home of the bride’s parehts. The
bride is the charming daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Maxwell
and the Di. is a splendid gentle
man. We all wish them much joy
and happihess. .
The stork visited Mr. and Mrs.
Wiley Gainey and left with them
a sweet little girl.
Jess Gainey, son of Mr. Jim
Gainey, left for college last week,
after spending the holidays with
home folks.
Wishing the Progress much
success during 1913.
I beg to subscribe myself
