A Great Race Awakened
The Chinese are an older race
than any living. Ultra conser
vatism has kept them back. But
since the progressive spirit has
been injected into the Mongp-
lian’s veins, his awakening has
been rapid; In just a few years
he has shaken off the fetters of a
dtfcadent empire and established
a republic. The readers of The
Progress will find an- interesting
article on the Oriental’s awaken
ing in this issue.

have served in this capacity for quite a long while with Mr. Wight

at ail times given Grady county his best and most careful attention
in all mat’ters that-have come before him or the board; therefore be

our extreme regrets at his resigning, and wish to tender our sincere
thanks for his attention and interest in Grady county and her peo
