Carlton Williams injured
In Run-a way Accident
Carol ten Williams the little four
year old boy of Mr. N. A. WillianiB
while riding with Griffin
behind a Shetland pony last Fri
day afternoon >was dashed from
the vehicle and very ^eriously in
jured, although at this time we
are glad to report that he is doing
well and all indications, point to
the recovery of the little fellow.
It seems that the pony was not
very well broken to harness and
while the boys were driving him
he became frightened and ran for
qnitc a distance finally running
into the curb of the Sapp building
at the corner of Broad’ and Mill
streets and throwing Carlton a-
Lnst week we announced that in
the Poland China class at the
S o nth c a stern F u i v ,i
in A t 1 a n t a ’ t li a t t w o
pigs from Grady county had won
the highest prizes in that class.
Detailed .reports of the awards in
all classes have not, vet been re
ceived by us but. (lie news has
beer received that in the Duroc
clnsscFthal. Grady county pigs al
so carried ofl first honors against
all comers. The boar pig shown
by Henry! Rawls won first in her
class over all shown. As allowing
the quality of the pigs shown by
our Grady county hoys the pig of
Henry Rawls was put up at auc
tion and sold to the highest bidder
and the pries received was one
hundred dollars. She was bought-*’
by Air. John T. Williams of Ken
tucky who is one of the most •
famous Duroc Brooders in the
country.
The incomplete reports whieh
have reached us from the Atlanta
indicate that other pigs, from
Grady county are in the winning
clsss but we will have to wait un
til next week to give a complete
report of all winnings.
Air. Walter L. Wight won second
place wit h his young herd against
the strongest coinpotion that, could
be gotten together in the south.
Grady county 'is showing a
stronger aggregation of hogs at
Valdosta this, week, and we con
fidently expect them to add lidw
laurels to those already won.
Grady county and the hoys
who fitted the pigs are surely to be
congratulated at t he record made
in Atlanta.' Grady county! is al
ready bedtlliyqg... to bo ^-ijijrtgnizcd
as the best county in the state
and if our hoys will just keep on
improving in the growing of pigs
we will add glory to our renown
as a pig raising county.

G. R. Beale Ships Car of
Hogs Pays $1161.69
Mr. C'. R. Beale representing
the White Provision (,'ompany
shipped another carload of hogs
this week. Those from whom he
bought, the hogs were the follow
ing: J. S. Wight, 25, J. C. . Wald
ron 23, W. T. Bryant 30, D. C.
Maxwell 14, M. A. Barber 8, A.
H. .Sasser 4, and J. H. .Carter 2.
Total number of hogs making up
the car 106. Total weight 14;985
pounds. Total price paid 1*1161.09.
These hogs did not bring a uni
form price as the price was based
on the quality of the hogs and
ranged from seven to eight thirty
five cents. There were some
nicely finished hogs in t his lot and
they brought the highest price
mentioned above. Had the entire
ear been well finished it would
have brought the total paid for
the car well above the already
splendid figure of §1101.09.
Mr. Beale informs us that he
is to ship another car on Friday,
It is quite apparent that the ship
ment of hogs from this county

As will be soon from the notice
of Bond Election in this issue of
the Progress, the City Council
has posponed the date of holding
the election to determine, whether,
or not Cairo shall issue bonds for
the installment of a sewerage qn-
lil the 28th, day of November. MPg
Upon investigation, it was found
that if the bond election was hejmj/E
prior to the general election that V.
the old registration list of the city"®
would have to be used, and an ex
amination of this list showed that i
near fifty of the registered voters
on this list had moved away front
town or hud died, and it was not
thought that it would bo giving
the bond issue a fair chance if
this list was used.
The date fixed upon, November
28th, is the earliest date under the
law at which the election could be v
held after making change in the
date as an election of this kind
has to be advertised at least thirty
days before the election.
The election for bonds as now
advertised will be held under the
new registration list just recentb
closed. This should give the verj
best and most fair list that could
be secured.
Cairo has outgrown the time-
when she can afford to use country
methods in her sewerage disposal.
If we insist in congregating into a
city we must pay the price in . JS
some way. If we do not provide
sewerage for our town wo will pay
at a very much higher cost in hu-.
man life. Are you going to
one to say that this shall be done?
