duty toward our city and each
other should be issued. 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.

The information gained from

Dr. J. L. White, of Macon, has
been called to the pastorate of
the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlan

whether or not he will accept.
The Tabernale has been served
heretofore by Dr. Broughton, Dr.
S. R MaoArthur, and Dr. Lin

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.

MAY OPEN HERE.
The Southern Business College
with school in this state at Bar-’
wick, Pelham, Cordele, Eastman,
Madison and Manchester may
shortly open in our city.
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,

Gentlemen:
We understand that the
Southern Business College, con
ducted by Messrs. Pentz and
