As hooh ns they were sworn Judge Cox de livered his charge to them. . The charge tu the gaand jury wob said to be the most complete ar.d strongest charge ever delivered, to a Grady county jury. His charge made every citizen who heard it feel like there was a grave responsibility resting upon every citizen. The charge tend- edtowards the elevation of eit- zenship. In other words Judge- Cox think that as Georgia is known as the Empire state of theSo^th tljat we should eneav- or to have it known as the Em pire State in the highest order of citizenship, Grady is one oT the younger ceunties of Georgia and every citizen should do his utmost to keep down any thiqg and every thing which would reflect upon our standing as good law abiding citizens. It is extremely un fortunate that the people of a county or a community are judg- djand classed by the actions of the lower element of its people. Just a few bad people in a coun ty make the ugly record of the county, or community in'which they live. If our state laws were enforced with as much certainty as-the federal laws are enforced it would have a strong influence towards making better citizens Statement of the Condition, of The Farmers and Merchants Bank catcd at Cairo, Ga., at the clcse of business, Feb. 27, 1915 RESOURCES LIABILITIES Demand Loans.,—.-$ *•$$£• Time Loans.
