Colt Parade and Colt Club Meeting Enthusiastic Success on Last Saturday-Many Visitors
Prof, Jarnagin Ad
dressed the Audience
Glut Starts off Under
Bright Prospects
Anybody that doubts that Grady
county is rapidly coming to the
front as a live stock county, should
have been in Cairo last Saturday
and have seen the splendid parade
o ’ colts and noted some of the en
thUsiasm on the part of so many
farmers of the county for raising
more and better colts.
The colts began to come in by
seven o’clock Saturday morning,
and by ten o’clock there were forty
Colts ready to enter the parade.
The parade formed at Crawford-
Millor’s Stables and entering Broad
street, at, the I,. B. Powell corner,
marched through town circling the
Court House and then bnck down
i Broad street. Among those re-
| viewing the parade was Prof. Mil-
, ton P. Jarnagin of Athens, who
pronounced a number of the colts
a i being splendid ones.
After the ending of the parade,
the Grady County Live Stock As
sociation met at the Court House
Regular business was dispenser
with and Mr. P. H. Ward intro
duced Prof. M. P. Jarnngin, whe
addressed the audience on coll
raising. Prof. Jarnngin first called
especial attention to the value ol
the pure bred sire in any system of
stock breeding. He illustrated this
by some examples of concrete re
sults that had been secured at thr
College Farm at Athens in the pro
duction of cattle.
Following the fundamental prir.-
Gain) to Have Good
Baseball This'
Grady County Colt Club Parade
oiples that he set forth in the first
part of his talk, Prof. Jarnagin
went into detail as to some of the
practices necessary for the best
welfare of the mare and colt.
At the conclusion of the speak
ing the rules that had been drawn
Up for the use pf the Boys Colt
club were read and adopted, and a
number of boys who had not al
ready been enrolled, were added to
the club. The enrollment at this
time is about twenty-five arid no
doubt this will be largely increased.
When the matter of organizing a
boys colt club was mentioned a
few months ago, there was doubt
on the part of many as to whether
a sufficient number of colts could
be secured to form a club, buj that
fear does not exist now. .
The Colt Club starts off under
the very brightest prospects, and
we expect to see it accomplish r
lot for Grady county in the way of
increasiug interest in raising oui
work stock at home. We also ex
pect the example that has been set
by Grady county spread to othei
counties so that the colt club will
soon be as common as is now the
pig club.
Some of the Colts in the Parade Last Saturday
Cox Rally At Tifton
npaign headquarters of Judge
Cox, candidate for congress
mces a Cox rally to be held
ton next Saturday. On this
on, Judge Cox will make the
ng speech of the campaign,
this same time Judge Cox
nnounce the issues and stress'
up( n which he will base his

ampaign headquarters that
Judge Cox’s friends are very en-
thusastic over the prospects of this
meeting and that they are giving
considerable publicity. Those at
Tifton in charge of the rally have
arranged for Moultrie Bond to
furnish music, and it is expected
that this shall be one of the largest
political gatherings to be held in
South-Georgia this year. Enthus
iastic friends from all parts of the
district are expected to be present.

will preside over the Meeting and

A meeting was called at the court
house Monday afternoon of those
interested in having good amateur
ball games here during the sum
mer. Quito a. crowd of citizons
who are enthusiastic fans respond
ed to the call. After some discus-
don in which it was generally
agreed that Cairo should have
mine good l all games, tho follow
ing officots were elected:—
A. W. Miller, Pres.
W. E. Olivet, Manager.
R. P. Wight, Sec-Trcas.
C-D. ltoddehbery, Ground Mgr.
J. S. Weathers, Chmn. Finance
Committee.
Wh. Searcy, Official Umpire.
Arthur Bell, Official Scorer.
Clayton Bryan, Ground Police.
The town has been canvassed
for a fund to guarantee tho proper
.inancing of the club for the sum
mer, and with the response that
has been met with, there is no
question that we can have a success
tul ball season if the friends of base
ball will bo liberal in their attend
ance on the games.
Quoting the slogan of *the base
ball boys, “Boost, don’t knock.” «
Another strong effort is to be
made to secure the closing of all
plnces of business on every Thurs
day afternoon. If this succeeds,
there will bo an effort made to
have a good game each Thursday.
We have already expressed our
selves as favoring the Thursday
half-holiday,' and!.wo hope thk.t with
the prospect of'a good ball game
each week that there will be no
further holding back on the part of
our merchants on this move.
