SLAYER OF DEPUTY
CAPTURED MONDAY
It is reported that Flem Jack
son, the negro who shot and kill
ed Deputy Sheriff Will Griner, in
Mitchell county, has been caught
in Terrell county, nine miles
southwest of Dawson, and that
heriff Crow, of Mitchell county,
had spirited him away to some
unknown point to avoid the pos
sibility of a lynching.
The point where the negro
was caught is located in a sec ion
where he formerly lived. Before
going to Mitchell county, the ne
gro lived in Randolph countv,
near the Terrell county line, and
he had uncles living in both of
these counties and it was to seek
refuge with them that the negro
is supposed to have returned to
that section of the country.
It is stated that Sheriff Crow
had an order from Judge E. E
Cox, of the superior court, not to
take the prisoner to Camilla, but
the place of safekeeping decided
upon was kept secret. Some
think he was taken to Columbus
and others that Macon is the
place. Sheriff Crow left Dawson
with the prisoner, in company
with Chief of Police Mack Brown
of Dawson, in an automoDile,
late Monday afternoon.
The crime was one of the most
outrageous that has been known
in this section, and it is hoped
that this report is true and that
the negro will be given a speedy
trial and get what he deserves.

LAST SATURDAY
WAS RECORD DAY.
Trading in Cairo last Saturday
was very brisk, in fact, about
the best trade day of the year.
The syrup buyers inform us
chat over one thousand barrels ot
Georgia Cane, for which Grady
county is famous, were brought
to town and sold for cash, some
thing like $10,000 being paid the
growers of this county, and the
outlook now is that next Satur
day will break all previous rec
ords.
Mr. Kedar Wight has installed
a tank line from the Wight Hdw,
Company’s warehouse to the rail
track and is loading tank car af
ter car with syrup and will con
tinue to ship syrup all . through
the winter in theso cars. Thei e
are several buyers here from At
lanta and other markets who will
remain here during the winter
buying this syrup, besides our
h ime merchants who handle a
large part of this crop. The sy
rup crop in Grady county this
year will bring in nearly a half
million dollars to the syrup rais
ers of Grady county.
Grady county does not rely en
tirely-upon her syrup crop, but
this year our people raised con
siderable tobacco and the tobacco
buyers are in the county now
contracting.for next year's crop
and it is said that next year
more shaded tobacco will- be
grown than this year.
The tnelon crop this year was
successful as was also the pear
crpp mid vegetables and all of
these brought in considerable
money,
Our farmers have gone into the
hog am) stock raising' business
very extensively and many fine
porkers will be killed this winter,
which will bring mere money to
our people. .
While the rest of the country
are crying hard times the people
of Grady are setting back and
taking things easy, living on hog
and hominy, Georgia cane syrup
and pecans, thankful for many
things and at peace with all
the world.
Truly, Grady is a wonderful
county; the very best in the
state.

Stubborn Livers.
Now and then customers tell
us that ordinary liver medicines,
cathartics, etc., have little or no
effect on them.
There is no denying that after
twenty or thirty years of neg ect
the liver may become very stub
born and hard to rouse to action.
In such cases try
Liver Persuader.
It is just what its name im
plies — a persuader. It is not
harsh and drastic but is very ac
tive and it soon “persuades the
most rebellious liver to do its du
ty.
We know just how it is made—
so can you by reading the label,
for all Penslar Remedy labels
give the full formula.
Recommend it i Certainly we do
where a very active liver remedy
is needed. If you have one of
those livers that simply won’t
behave, try Penslar Liver Per
suader— a fifty-cent bottle will
prove its worth.

PASTOR WRIGHT ID GO
TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Next Sunday night Rev. W. L.
Wright will end his three-year
pastorate at the Cairo Methodist
church and go to the annual con
ference, which convenes in Daw
son next Wednesday, when he
and several hundred others will
receive appointments for another
year from Bishop Warren A.
Candler, who will preside.
By reason of so many four-
year limits expiring, deaths, r.oine
asking to locate and others to as
sume superannuate relations,
there will be more changes than
usual, both in pastorates and pre
siding elderships, besides caring
for a large number who will re
ceive their first, appointments,

cotton g’inned.
In a report just given out by
Special Agent Mr. L. O. Powell,
of the U. S. Bureau of Census,
it shows that up to Nov. 1st of
this year there had been 6,208
bales of cotton ginned.
The same period last year only

ed only three years and under
conference rules may be return

yet in view ot the manv changes
to be made, he, too. may be mov

pen as Rev. Mr. Wright has done
good work and endeared himself
to our people, who earnestly
hope he will be allowed to fill out
his full term.
