Card From Mayor Ledford.
Cairo, Ca., Jan. 17,1915.
Grady County Progress:
The friend whose article ap
peared in the Thomasville paper
recently, and reproduced in last
week’s Progress, gives me too
large a share of the .credit of the
discontinuance of free light and
water to the Mayor, Council and
other officers of the city of Cairo.
While I made the recommenda
tion, and did so heartily, and was
impelled to do so from a source
of official duty, yet it could only
be put in force by the vote of
Council, which they did and the
credit of voting out free water
and light's is due to their action.
M. L. LEDFORD."
• Albany; Ga., Jan. 23.--Thomas
P. Littlejohn, proprietor of the
Littlejohn’s United shows, was
awarded a verdict ef $1,060.50
by a jury in the United States
court here today for damages
sustained by reason of a petition
for an injunction in the states
courts which prevented his carn
ival company from exhibiting in
Moultrie in December, 1912.
The defendants are ten of Moul-
tries most prominent citizens who,
with their attorneys and witness
es, returned to Moultrie at the
conclusion of the trial yesterday
on a special train
The jury returned a sealed ver
diet yesterday afternoon and it
was'opened in court this morn
ing. The defendants are Ben

reen. Z. II. Clark, W. H. Barber,
R. L. Stokes, C. H. Beall, VV.

In another column of this issue
a statement from Mayor Ledford
relative to the artifcle in Inst
week's issue r.produced from the
Thomasville ^imes-Enterpriso,
appears.
Wei, think it commendable in
t >e JViayor to give a due meed of
credit to the councilmen for what
they did in the niatter referred
to in the article.
The Progress has no criticism
to make of any former adminis-
..tion of council, as the infor
mation it has is that heretofore
its affairs have been handled in a
bus.iries3 like way, as we stated
after the first meeting of coun-
" which organized for 1916.
We feel that the people can
rest assured that the present
council are going to handle the
affairs of^the city in a conserva
tive. economical and businesslike
way and to put on such reforms
and Retrenchments as will meet
the depressed conditir m i.
The matter of free lights and
water to the Mayor, Council and
other officials of the city was
done bv unanimous vote of coun
ts we reported in a previous
issue of the Progress. This' in
dicates that there is absolute har
mony in the official family of the
city. ^ ' .
While we have taken no par
ticular pains whatever to sound
public sentiment yet we have
heard much commendation of the
acts of council in this particular,
fact, the expressions we have
heard on all have been like the
action of council itself—unani
mous in the approval of, its
course. Th e efforts of council
the reduction of wages and ciur-
taitment ? f-expfh'es has likewise
met the approval of the people !
and we predict a h'armon.ous and nijw nnimT lil OfQCIjlM
successful administration. | III 11 uUUIvI III. uLuulUli

FIRST CAR OF MULES
IS SHIPPER ID CAIRO.
In-this issue of the Progress
appears an advertisement of the
R. L. Nicholson Stock Company,
stating they have just received a
car load of fine horses and mules.
This car came in last night from
Memphis, Tennessee, and those
who have seen the stock say that
that they are as fine animals as
have ever been brought to Grady
county.
These mules and horses arc ad
vertised to sell at prices commen
surate with the times, and that
means, evidently, at rock bottom
prices, and they will ^also give
you a good trade for yi ur stock.
This is the first car load of
stock that has been shipped to
Cairo this year.
A representative of this firm
stated yesterday that their busi
ness was opening up again and
that they looked for good trading
this year.
