Since Christmas is no.v rapidly approaching, every and each and every member of every family is beginning to think about what he can do to make others happy and what he can"buy as a token -of love at this glad season.

Perhaps more saving for Christmas ex penses has been done this year than ever before in Cairo. There are many hundreds whahave sys- tematicly saved by deposits made in banks for the purpose of meet ing their Christmas expenses. On or about Dec. 15th there will be distributed by the banks several thousands of dollars. This will be turned over to those who have thus prepared themselves. The merchants of Cairo help you in defraying the expenses of government; when called upon have.responded to every need of charity; have assisted with their contributions toward providing you with schools, roads and every other institution that makes for profit and comfort. It follows that all who contemplate the buying of gifts should see to it that as far as possible those gifts be pur chased in-Cairo. By doing this you help those who. have helped you and are helping yourself .again for the success of Cairo institutions .and the Grady county enterprises makes for your success and pro gress. It therefore follows that you should in all your expenses keep in mind the interests of your own county; s , — Never, forget that when you buy articles from a distance your town and county is the poorer. Your money should profit, first of all, the people of yoqr own town and county. Never profane the value of Cairo " merchandise by buying other town's merchandise unless absolutely compelled to'do so. Dont permit yourself to be flat tered with the false notion that the-stuff you buy in—Atlanta is better In grade or quality than that that you can buy in Cairo and Grady tjounty. If yon don't like the particular, article offered in Cairo, get some thing else that you can buv here Which will at least, perhaps, please tKe dbnee of your gift bet ter than "the one bought else where. At least it will benefit him more to let our -money stay at home. In other words Cairo, products and Cairo merchandise are the only ones this year, of all times, that should be bought with mon ey earned in Cairo and now in your hands for disposition. At least, substitute Cairo for other, places in every way possible and ycu will find that not only the deed'itself will be more .delight ful and pjeasing to you, buc that] ‘ you will have afterwards-- from day to day, the joy and enduring satisfacticn of knowing that you have done your duty to youself, to your family, to your tdwn and to your county. After all: is it ntft a mere “fad” that causes you to buy elsewhere? And .like all fads, in whatever way developed, are theyRnot flit ting things that do no no per-, manent good and con vey ho per manent joy? GRADY TO QET 18,126.13 FROM SCHOOL fUND. The state educational. depart; merit has completed the appqr tio’nment of the 1916 school fund of 82,650,000 among the 148 counties and 83 local city and town .school systems. This allows distribution on a basis of 13.17 per child of school age. It is expected that the ap portionment of Appling, Bulloch, Emanuel, Gwinnett, Jackson, Pierce, Tatnall, Walton and Ware will be cut down insofar aa their school population is .effected by the loss of territory into one of the four new counties. Below is given the fund in some of the South Georgia terri tory; Decatur, $25,873.54; Lowndes, 815,599.20; Worth, $20, 177.95; Mitchell, $23,616.60, Brooks, $20,842,75; Thomas, $22,405.5(1; Gradv, $18,826.63; Colquitt, 817,885.14. ‘ A considerable part of the 191,4 fund is still due teachers, and it is feared that the state wjll be unable to make a payment to them before Christmas. Payment of state taxes is hot obligatory until December 20, and owing to money pressure, taxpayers will wait as long as possible this year. STATE OF GEORGIA-Grady PbunEy. Before me came J. E.

Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 9th. day of Dec. 1914, L. M. Ausley, N. P., Grady County, Ga. The information gained from every, portion of this good coun ty says that, our farmers will hot plant over fifty per cent of the cotton crop another year as they did this. Hog and homin i will’be the battle cry another year. That means that we will swim in gra vy hereafter. ' ,i V : v& For Sale. One No. 72 power Chattanooga Cane Mill. In use.three seasons. Good as new. Write or see W. R. BELL, Fowltown, Ga. Dr. J. L. White, of Macon, has been called to the pastorate of the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlan ta, but he has not yet announced whether or not he will accept. The Tabernale has been served heretofore by Dr. Broughton, Dr. S. R MaoArthur, and Dr. Lin coln McConnell. Of course we are all inclined to kick on the low price of cotton, but we will soon discover that it is a blessing in disguise. High price cotton brings debt and mis ery. Low price cotton brings peace and plenty. War or no war provisions will always find a ready market.

Mr. Robert H.Pentz, President and Mr. Alton H. Perry, Field Manager, came to our city last week, and. after meeting many of the leading business men, de tern-iined to locate one of their colleges here. A complete equipment, includ ing typewriters, indiVidual desks, and full office equipment will be installed in the proposed College so that the students who- attend, here will have the same advant ages as they would have in a large city without the; expense ahd in convenience of being away from home. A capable, experienced teacher wilLJbe in charge and the courses of study offered will be modern in every respect, being the result of many years’ exper ience by the management of this well known chain of Business Colleges. , The College will. be a strong factor in the development and upbuilding of our city, and its es tablishment here will mean a line of Pi ogress from which every citizen and businesss man will be personally benefitted. Theoppor- tunity it offers out; young people to secure a thorough business training right is of inestimable worth, and we cannot afford to treat it otherwise than with pro- foundest support. It fully merits such c nsideration. In regard to the character of the men behind the College, the Bank of Barwick has the follow ing to say: Grady County Progress, Cairo, Georgia. Gentlemen: We understand that the Southern Business College, con ducted by Messrs. Pentz and Perry, is contemplating opening a College in your city.
