Dr. L. G. Haidman, of Com
merce, candidate for governor,
was a visitor to Cairo Monday.
Dr. Hardman did not do any pub
lic speech making while here but
contented himself with meeting
as many of the voters as possible
and doing some hand shaking.
He is the first of the candidates
for gubernatorial honors to visit
Cairo and he made a pleasant im
pression on those who met him.
Dr. Hardman is. one of north
Georgia’s most prominent men, a
man of very high character and
a man who has been very success
ful in his undertakings.
His home paper had the follow
ing to say in regard to his candi
dacy.
"Dr. Hardman’s campaign is
based on a platform of construc
tive principles that are of vital
importance to the welfare of the
people, His candidacy offers the
voters of Georgia an opportunity
ful achievem^JB^^B^various
lines of endeavor tl^Wgive con
tributed in a forceful way to the
upbuilding of the state.
The practice of medicine and
surgery has/been Dr. Hardman’s
profession in life and success
has attended his efforts, but he
has devoted much time to gener
al business affairs. '
By Virtue of his presidency of
a bank and a large cotton manu
facturing enterprise, and the fact
. that he is extensively engaged in
farming, he has been able to
closely identify himsely , with
^ practical business problems.
There are few men in the state
who are moro familiar with agri
cultural affairs than Dr. 'Hard
man and none who are more in
terested in promoting the inter
ests of the|agricultural profession
along broad and well directed
lines for the benefit of the entire
people,
He has met with marvelous
success as a practical -farmer and
has done some very valuable ex-
> perimental work that has result
ed in a great advantage to the
agriculture profession. In addi
tion to the culture of staple crops
'on his various farms,horticulture,
livestock raising and dairying
have been engaged in to a large
extent.
Throughout northeast Georgia,
Dr. Hardman is intimately known
,, and highly respected and greatly
admired. His high ideals, great
moral force, unblemished charac
ter, tireless energy and broad
minded patriotism, hah won the
esteem of the .masses in his sec
tion and they regard him as one
\f Georgia’s foremost men.

Fishermen returning from the
Ochlocknee river report that A
R. Humphreys and Frank Tetini-
son captured and killed a ten
foot alligator which when cut
open was found to have’ inside il
a half grown hog which it had
swallowed whole.
The ’gator was caught, after
several shots had been fired intc
its body from the fishing boat,
and was finally brought to land
after a dangerous struggle, abou;
ten-miles south of Cairo.
Messrs. Humphreys and Tenni
son had the alligator skinned,
and will have the skin stuffed a;
a memento of their exciting ex
perience.
Senator, Hoke Smith has for
mally announced his candidac:
for United States Senate to sue
ceed himself. This was lik<
stating that Christmas comes oi
the 25th of December, inasmucl
as it was generally understooc
that he was a candidate, an
some have been so forgetful o
Real Estate Agent Ralph O.
Cochran’s candidacy, as to saj
that he (Smith) has no opposition
Be that as it may, Mr. Cochran’s
Apposition really is not very for
midable, and if "Little Joe”
Hugh Dorsey or no one else
comes out, Senator Smith wil
hardly know that a race is on.
RETURNING 10 CAIRO
Dr. Masrow the well known
Eyesight Specialist will be ai
Cairo Monday June 15 with Wigb;
& Browne drug store from 1
A. M. to 4:30 P. M., also tr
Whigham Tuesday June 16 a.
Pearce Drug Co., from 8 A. M.
to 5 P. M.
This will make the thi^jd visi'
of Dr. J. E. Masrow, to thi:
county and he certainly needs n<
introduction. He has now ex
aminedsthe eyes of thousands ol
neople of this state and the bene
fits received by those wearing
his glasses have been most phe
nomenal. Beware of the mai
who travels around and has nc
permanent office. You have al
heard of Dr. Masrow. ile is en
dorsed in hundreds of ringim
testimonials from satisfied pa
tients. Read some of his test!

As a preliminary step toward
t he organization of a $10,000,000
company to engage in the busi
ness of making loans to Georgia
farmers, E||vin P. Ansley will-
conduct several Chicago capita
lists upon an automobile tour of
the farming sections of Georgia,
Parting from Atlanta Tuesday
morning.
The Georgia Chamber of Com-
nerce believing tnat this pro
posed company is a move in line
vvith its efforts to encourage the
-•stablishment of a more liberal
watem of rural credits is offer-
ng every co-operation,, and, at
he suggestion of Mr. Ansley,
las notified the commercial or-
r,mentions along the party’s
.tinerary of the coming of the
jarty so that they may be prop
erly entertained and given nil the
.nformation they may want.
Leaving Atlanta Tuesday
norning the party will visit New-
i a u , LaGrange, Columbus,
Vmericu£|, Albany. Moultrie,
1'homasville, Quitman, Valdosta,
fifton, Ashourn, Cordele, Ma-
on, Griffin, and the smaller
.owns between, returning to Atl
anta Saturday night.
Governor Brown has at least
ettled one thing: He says that
le will not run for the United
Rates senate to succeed the late
Senator A. O. Bacon. But the
mblic is still in the dark on at
east two points, viz: Will he
. un for Governor or oppose Sen
ior Smith? Or, will he accept
he advice of one who knows
mry little about politics and run
or neither? As a matter of fact,
ve do not believe the people as a
vhole are nearly so, much inter
ested in what he decides to do or
mt to do as the politicians and
ensa'tional political writer^. The
•hole subject is becoming ad
lausea.
From the Flowery Fields of
France
In sunny Southern France

qua! elsewhere in the world, for
ragrance.
From these flowers the sur
passing Sylvodora perfumes are
•ompoundtd and distilled by ex
perts of lifelong training, excju-
lively for the Penslar stores of ’
he United States.
We have obtained a limited
upply of these rare perfumes in
he following odors: Violoflor,
jilaflor, Azuraflor, White Rose,
ted Rose and Lily of the Valley,
’rice Si per ounce, and the best
alue we have ever seen.

road has 061 miles of main line in
Georgia and Alabama and is op

Several new automobiles ate to
be sden on our streets, which shows
that the people of Cairo and Grady
county tire prosperous and like to
ride in fast moving vehicles. The
Ford seems to be the most popular
