w /Uf'JfcUb i The Grady County Progress THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GRAOY .COUNTY, VOL. 4 CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. JANUARY, 16 1914. NO. U MORE PAY FOR RURAL CARRIERS Washington, Jan. 14.—Repre sentative Frank Park, of the Second Georgia district, today introduced a bill in the House ppoviding for an increase of sal ary of $25 a month for all rural mail carriers. The idea of Judge Park in seeking to secure this increase oi pay for the rural carriers is that they are entitled to the money for the maintenance of their horses and buggies, and that the cost of such maintenance, when deducted from the present salar ies of rural mail carriers, makes the real salary less than the car rier is entitled to for his services That “Peaches and CreaM” • Complexion This time the subject is a new toilet cream, Penslar Buttlermilk Cerate. If it were just “another cream,” like nearly all ■ the rest, we wouldn’t say anything about This space is too expensive to be devoted to .'common things. SMITH-PARK WAR APPEARS LIKEll Buttermilk Cerate is very different from all the rest. It contains about 30 per cent pure, freshly churned dairy but termilk. You may remember that your grandmother’s * ‘peaches-and- cream” complexion of her girl- -hood days was the_result of daily applications of some buttermilk compound made after her favorite recipe. Penslar Buttermilk Cerate is based on one of these good old recipe?, improved and moderniz ed so that it has become still more effective. And it is so skilfully compound ed and delightfully perfumed that it is a real toilet luxury, aside from its value in refreshing, cleansing, beautifying, and nourishing the skin. • It c rrn s in a liberal-sized pack age—your fifty cents buys enough to last a long while; smaller size, in collapsible tube, 25 cents. If you once examine it, we know that Penslar Buttermilk Cerate will be your favorite, hereafter. The Grady Pharmacy THE PENSLAR STORE Advertisment. Washington, D. C., Jan. 14.— A break between Representative Frank Park and Senator Hoke Smith was made almost certain today when Judge Park recom mended 0. E. Cox for postmas ter at Camilla. Cox is said to be a strong anti-Smith man, while F. B. Perry, another candidate for the office, is a strong Smith supporter, with the backing oi the Smith strength in Camilla.^ Senator Smith would not com mit himself today when asked ii he would prevent the confirma tion if Cox should be nominated, but there is every reason to be lieve that he Lwill or that Cox will never be nominated. Sena tor Smith has said frequently that he will not allow the con firmation of a man who is fight ing him . and Cox’s sentiments are said to be frankly spoken. The term of Mrs. Lena Brim- berry as postmistress at Albany expired last Saturday. Senator Smith said today that beyond arranging a date for the mayor and city council of Albany to see the Postmaster General il they still wish to protest against Mrs. Nellie Brim berry’s appoint ment he will have nothing to do with that case.

The importance of this diversification of crops by the Georgia farmer was emphasized in a letter recei v ed at the headquarters of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce yesterday from the Georgia rep resentative of a banking concern that has loaned over $20,000,000 to the farmers of the state during the past thirty years. In this letter, the state cham ber is urged to push the work of putting before the state’s farmers the neccessity of diversifying their corps, , not only on account of the approach of the boll weev il, which will enter the state from Alabama this year, but from a standpoint of financial credit. The letter from the banking concern, says in part as follows: “We have just had a letter from a foreign company that we represent which states that after a careful consideration it will draw a strict line in loaning be tween farmers who rely solely upon cotton and others who adopt mixed farming.” This action, the letter adds, is taken notwithstanding the fact that the company has lost not a cent on any of its loans in Georg ia during the past fifteen years, and is taken simply as indicat EARLY PRIiARY? Why not the Executive Com- mittee of Grady county meet an drder a primary soon? Tift and other counties in South Georgia are ordering primaries or an early date. Candidates are announcing for various offices and we all know it is best for our home county politics to be kept seperate from state and congressional politics. W. C.
