It Couldn’t Be Done
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But be with a chuckle replied;
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t 9ay so till he’d tried.
So he bucked right in, with a trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done—and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you'll never do that—
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d began it,
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin.
Without any doubting or quit it,
He started to sing as ho tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done—and he did it.
There are thousands who’ll tell you it can not be dpne
There are thousands who prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The danger tiiat wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it.
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “can not be done”—and you'll do it.

Cairo should have a Board of
Trade. Boost for it.
Cairo needs sewerage ahd needs
it badly, Let everybody say so.
Cairo should abolish all those
old awnings over our streets. We
should spruce up.
A Word Personal
.*»* i
a _n
Do you enjoy wading through
those muddy places on our side
walks? If you do you need not
mention the matter to your, coun
cilman.
We are glad the White Way is
going to be put in right away, but
somehow we cant forget the idea
that our town would look immense
ly better if those old awnings were
all down about the time that the
White Way is completed.
What is Cairo ever going to do
about our railroad crossing? It
will probably take a long while to
accomplish getting the consent of
the railroad management to lower
their track through >town enough
to allow a viaduct to be built over
the track, but if that is the
proper thing to do we ought to be
at work on it now. Look it over.
Every day someone asks us
about a fair in this county next
fall. We are mighty sorry to tell
them that we will have none. We
hope this will not be true another
year. Team work will give us a
good one and hurt nobody at all.
Grady county out to build com
Crete bridges. How about a bond
•Bsue for that purpose?
With the able assistance of Mr
J. H. Harris we have just alosed
our subscription contest with de
cided success. We fully appreciate
all of co-operation and good will
that we have so generously receiv
ed. I feel that a few words will
not be out of place just at this
time, of a more or less personal
nature. Last February I bought,
from the stockholding owners of
this paper its entire equipment,
subscription list, good will, bad will,
etc. In doing this it was and is
ray purpose to give to Grady coun
ty the very best and most useful
paper that I can possibly put out.
But in order to make a paper a suc
cess it is necessary to have a large
subscription list. This I did not
have at the time I bought the pa
per, hence the necessity for the
contest that has just closed. In
putting on the contest at the time
of year I did, I realized that in
order to make it successful I must
offer more than the usual induce
ments, and a look at our list of
prizes that have just been awarded
will convince all that I offered the
best lot of prizes that have ever
been offered in this section in a
similar contest. The result fully
justifies the selection of the prizes.
The pecuniary returns from the
contest are entirejy satisfactory
and my subscription list is now on
a basis that will enable me to se
cure good advertising contracts.
However, I do not expect to rest
content with the list that I now
have, and have already made ar
rangements with responsible men
to solicit subscriptions for the
Progress throughuot the county,
It is my purpose to make of this
paper something a little better
than any county paper of which
you have known. In order to do
this I must have the cooperation of
the public. I have a well equipped
office for turning out all kinds of
job printing. I will appreciate
your orders whether large or small.
I shall always endeavor to give the
very best of service to my adver
tisers, and your liberal s.uppqft, of.
this'departmont of my paper will
enable me to give the service 1 de
sire to do in the other departments.
I cannot pass without mention,
a fact that I have hud to realize,
and that is that there is in some
quarters, a prejudice of long stand
ing uguinst this paper. Without
any comment whatever on the past
management of the paper, 1 want
to state most emphatically, that
the paper now has no connection
in any way, with any of the past
management. If any dissatisfaC'
tion exist with anyone as to their
subscription dates, I will be more
than glad to adjust this to their
satisfaction. With emphatic con
victions of my own, and yfet with
impartiality to. all and kindly re
gard for the opinions of other people
I expect to try to conduct the
paper for the good of the commun
ity as I see it. I shall never know
ingly allow it to be used in any
way to foster anything that would
make for discord.
I love Grady county and her
people,' and I believe there is n
future for her even brighter than
we dream. It is my ambition to
have some small part in bringing
her to the realization of her possi
bilities. To this end I have com
mitted myself and the Grady
County Progress:
D. L. Williams.

Cultivation—All cotton should
be cultivated intensively with im
plements that will keep down all
vegetation and form a good dust
mulch without cutting or inter-
ferring with the lateral roots of the
plant. You can’t go over it too
often. Do this weekly if possible.
Control of the Weevil—Piqk up
and burn all punctured cotton
forms. Do not let them lay on the J
surface until the adult weevil
emerges. Nor will it do to plow
them under. To plow them under
the average depth of cultivation
will only serve to furnish a suf
ficiency of moisture for the rapid
development of the weevil, which
will work his way to the surface.
The destruction of the punctured
forms with thoroughness is the only
known means of control that is ap
plicable to the present period. To
half do this work is equivalent to
not doing it, For example, two
punctured forms left undisturbed
would develop two adult weevils in
fifteen days.. Assuming the two to
be a pair, male and female, under
favorable conditions, they could
raise over 600,000 weevils in ninety
days. Assuming it to be a female,
she would deposit in forms an ave
rage of 150 eggs, besides she would
destroy many more forms in feed
ing. So by neglecting the distrue
tion of one form, you soon have
150 adult weevils puncturing forms
A handful of punctured forms de
stroyed now is equivalent to the
destruction of barrels of them on
August first. ' 5
Your success in control of the
weevil will depend on the thorough
ness with which you do this work,
The over wintered weevil emerges
from hybernating quarters and
lights on the cotton. At this per
iod, she does not travel. She will
not cross a turn row from one cut
to another but confines her feeding
to within the space of a few feet.
She will soon live her period of life
and die, and is dependent on the
eggs she lays to develop weevils
and thus perpetuate her colony.
You break up her nest. Destroy
all punctured forms. Results: No
young ones raised, the old weevil
dies, they do not come from other
fields t6 yours, the over wintered
weevils are hardly equal to the
natural shedding of the cotton un
til the migratory period about Aug;-
ust the tenth.
