CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1916. 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 sign. It is understood from 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. Sheriff J. M.. Shaw, of Tift’ county, will preside over the Meeting and will introduce Judge Cox to the audience. Judge Cox’s address will be at the Tift county court house at 2 o’clock Saturday after noon, June 10th. A regular morning operation of the bowels puts you in fine shape for the day’s work.

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.
