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.

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 Bond Election Posponed Until November 28th. Armour Fort.

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? —, ; M Corks, of All Sizes—GRADY PHARMACY
