THE GRADY COUNTY PROGRESS
THF OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GRADY COUNTY,
VOL 0.
CAIRO, (!RADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AIRIL 21, 1910.
COLLEGE CATALOGUE
Handsomely Illustrated Book
Tells of Work Being done in
This Institution.
The advance copies of the 1916
1917 catalogue of the South Georgia
Slate Normal college at Valdosta
are out. This bulletin is more than
an ordinary catalogue; it is an in
foresting and instructive book, li
might be called a concrete explana
tion of'what, the college for young
ladicr ougql to be—and is. It is
written in language that can be un
derstood and is beautifully illustrat
ed with many suggestive pictures,
One can tell clearly what the in
stitution is, what it proposes to do,
what it requrics of its students and
why it cost so little to attend' li
is entirely free of conventional cant
and it doesn’t satisfy itself with
vague generalizations.
The eohego makes some pretty
strong claims; but it gives the facts
for the claims. It claims, for in
stance, as good a faculty as there
is in the state, and a good a dorm
itory as there is in the south. Then
it gives rocords, photographs and
-definite statements to prove it.
Yon can sec for yourself.
It claims to make health and
character first essentials.- But it
doesn’t stop with .claiming; it tells-
how it does what it elaime. It is
- all open.
It claims a course of study that
. - ..best promotes culture ■ and, Jtcfipe-.
ment through useful knowledge.
It is really u constructive school
and invites your investigation.
Finally, 'though it dosen’f say
anything about its growth, like
other colleges it gives Us list of
students which shows’ that in its
three years of life- it has had a
phenomenal growth and usefulness,
South Georgia should rally to
this its only college. It is the light
. kind of college, doing the right kind
of work. It is t.obe hoped that a
pnrent with a daughter to educate
will read this catalogue. Tt will
give him ideas.

To the Tax Payers
of Grady County
As it is well known under the old
law the time limit of making re
turns was June the 20th. Two
rears ago the law was changed to
May the 1st, no penalty or extra
charge has been made against the
delinquent returner, although an
extra expense is caused by tie de
lay.
We know how hard it is to get
out of habits, but for the best in
terest to all wo urge that all returns
bo made by May the 1st. In all
icw Laws thcro is difference of
opinion but in one of such vital inler-
xst to every taxpayer there is more
'ban ordinary. Taxes being one of
-he most important and yet one of
least understood subject. The Tux-
Equalization act is like all other
laws—efficient in proportion to the
sentiment back of it. Tlui purpose
of the Equalization act was to in
duce people to givo to the State
ind county a square deal in making
returns of their property, as Arbi
trators are to settle disputes be
tween neighbors, the Equalizers arc
to settle differences of. opinion of
Value with the foundation of Equity
ind Justice to all.
With duo appreciation for the
support extended us in the work
we are, Yours truly,
Local Board of Assessors.

Nut Breads
Somebody sent Editor Jcrgcr, of
rhomaaville, a piece of .*nut bread,
ind he did eat of it, and in his pa
per the next, day ho pronounced it
good;
Nut bread has become a favorite
Jiet throughout the Pecan Belt of
•Southwest Georgia. It is both
meat and bread, and is not only
delightful to the palate, but very
nutritious to the body.
There are several ladies of our
icquaintcnancc in Albany who ex
cel in the art of making nut bread.
There are three or four popular
formulas or recipes. Sugar and
seeded raisins are used in one of the
formulas, but the nut , bread thaf
appeals to us is made of pecan nuts
ind flour alone, with enough bak
ing powder to make it “rise," t arid
give it the light fluflincss of a loaf
of baker's bread.
Recently some of our church la
dies have been conducting what
Lhcy call a “Saturday Market.” At
some convenient place they assem
ble nil sorts of good things to eat
which are prepared for the conven
ience of house-keepers on Sunday.
At these Saturday markets nut
bread hns become a standard com
modity, and “sells like hot cakes.”
The possibilities of the pecan nut
in the preparation of the family
meal arc just now beginning to de
velop in our southwest Georgia
homes. In due time, however, we
may all be extensive nut eaters,
and will be the better off for it.—
Albany Herald.
Bell Asks Return
Cotton Tax Money
Washington, D. CL, April 13.—'
Representative Bell of Georgia to
day introduced a bill appropriating
to the slate of Georgia $1,000,000
to repay tax money illegally col
lected on cotton by* the federal,
government between 180$ and 1808
Mr. Bell believes thore is now ii
chance to refund to the eleven cot
ton states the money collected
under this so-called war tax. A
special voluntary committee? con
sisting of one member from oaeli
cotton-growing stale,-is working to
secure the approval of the House
Committee on Claims, for .those
bills.—Savannah Morning News. '
What A Mail Order Merchant
Says
Tifton Gazette.
The statement made by Mr.
Herman, Rosonfold, advertising
manager for Chicago’s largest mail
order house is significant and should
throw some light upon the reason •
for the success of the mail orders -
business. Ho said in a recent nd- : '
dross:
“We have a bureau whose duty
it is to read each week the country
newspapers from all over the coun- -
try. There is not a paper'"in our •
trade territory that our bureau docs V, -
not get. This bureau looks over
j.hcsc'pipers, and when wo find a .
town whore tht( merchants are not .,
advertising in tile? looriPppcr. we
immediately flood that, territory' ;i
With our literature. It always
brings results far in excess of the
efforts put,forth in territory where
local merchants use their local
papers.”
In other words, Mr. Roscnfcld
says that tho house he managos the
advertising campaigns for, takes
especial pleasure in going after trade
in communities where they find the
home merchants arc neglectful of
asking the people to buy at home.
The Gnzctto enjoys very close re
lations with the merchants of Tif
ton; it ispatronized extensively; as ’
heavily, perhaps, as the merchants
have felt, able to patronize it, and
the merchants of Tifton are believ
ers in advertising, so tho statement
made by th6 advertising manager
for Seam, Roebuck & .Company
be oh their guard, because it is the
unseen letters and. catalogues from
the in nil order houses that work
more detriment to the success of
the homo store, than anything else
except, it may be, carlessncss iii
buying and supplying the wants of
the customers.
Mr. R. E. Holton, who lives in •'
the castoii part of the county, was
a business visitor in our office.last -
Saturday.
