f .'fi ' OF gradv county. D. L. WILLIAMS, Editor and Proprietor Entered us matter of the second class at the Cairo, Georgia, Post Office, the Act of March 3rd, 1879. under SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: $1.00 a Year; 60 cents for 0 Months; 26 cents for Three Months ADVERTISING RATES: Most Reasonable and Made Known Upon Application. 1917 And till PR06RESS Since the present management assumed charge of this paper we have mads an especial effort to be of value to the agricultural inter ests of Grady county. \Ve aspire to be helpful to all interests i. course, but in laying parliculri emphasis on the farming intern we are simply in line with the oi tier of things fof the reason thn this is really the- ni03t importer interest of the county and the on on which all the others in the ul timate depend. For the coming year .we intend to enlarge our plans for helpful ness to Grady County Agricul ture. We expect to devote more . of our space to things of a specffic interest to farmers and if we can have the cooperation of the farm ers themselves we believe we can become the medium through which information of a great deal of value can be disseminated among the farmers. An evolution in farm methods has been going on in this county for a number of years, but the coming of the boll weevil - has brought with hiip the necessity for a revolution. It is of importance that this revolution be directed a- long the right course. It shall be our purpose to try to_so gather in formation and so assist in the mar shalling of the forces of the cam paign as that the invasion of the weevil instead of proving a wither ing blight.shall but prove the on ward stride of better farming in the county. Our heart is in this work and wo want our paper to be of some real help in theso matters.- We know that ft can be and we want to keep in such close and intimate touch with the wants and the needs and the asp'rations of the farming county that we can be the mouth piece for them, speaking with au thority at all times. •Vitally bound up with the life itf boys and girls will return from their well equiped and well taught school with delight and pride. We aspire to see our country churches lifting their spires skyward from beautiful and suitable edifices er ected for the worship of the Great Gad who made all things good. We aspire-to see our brightest and >cst boys and girls after a full iquipniont in the best, schools for heir life duties, take up and carrj , o greater succes the work under- oaken by their parents. To all.of,,these things the Prog ress pledges its best efforts for 1$17. It Pays To Advertise It has probably always been true that judicious advertising was essential to best success- in’busi ness, but this is more true in this day of the rural free delivery and thejwider reading of the general public than it ever was before. People arc coming to realise that, the advertised article in almost evfiry case has a value beyond that of the article that is never told about. These observations are prompt ed by the remarks we heard a few days ago in which one of the drug stores of Cairo was credited with the statement that they usually bought a lot of cheap candy at this season of the year to supply the demand they might have for candy at a less price than the standard jidvertised lines could be sold for. This year, they had not had the demand for it ns every one called for some one of the well known makes.. The public is going more and more to find out that the best- people from whom to buy are the ones who advertise. The busi ness that is well conducted always plans to spend a percentage for ad vertising. No outlay that is made is more necessary or more profit-. Cairo, Ga., Dec* 28, 1910’ .Meeting was called to order at 7-20 and Mr. W. B. Roddenbery was elected Chairman and L. W. lligsby, secretary. Mr. Roddenbery, in a short talk explained that the object of the meeting was to discuss plans for a rail road to connect Cairo with Moultrie by way of Meigs, und outlined (lie plans where by this object could be realised through the co-operation with the citizens with the citizens of Meigs and especially J. N. Carter' in winch Mr. Carter would sell his tram road for stock-in a Railroad- Com pany at what the iron on the tram road cost. Dr. W. A. Walker expressed himself in favor of the proposition in a short talk, and suggested that a committee bo appointed to solicit subscriptions for Stock in the con- templatod Rail Road. * »- Col. M. L. Ledford now explain ed the attitude of the Pelham and- Ilavanna Rail Road to the pro ject, Mr. Tom Wight next called at tention to the danger 1o Cairo of allowing Carter’s tram road to be extended to some point West and be made permanent. Col. J. Q. Smith suggested building road over shorter route than had been suggested, advocat ing connection at Spence. Upon motion and second, whieh was carried, the Chairman appoint ed a committee of Thos Wight Chairmau, L. B. Powell and Col. M. L. Ledford to solicit subscrip tion for stock, committee to meet upon call of Chairman. On motion Chairman and Sec retary were made ex-offiicio mem bers of the committee.

At the beginning of this good yoar 191/ we; want to congratulate you Bays and Girls of the county for your good work last-year under the leadership of Mr. Ward. You have done well and your fame has gone abroad and with it the fame of your county. But we are sure that even your achcivements for last year are not going to be the measure of your endeavors for the future. In the club work • of the County we are expecting to see re sults accomplished by you this year that will leave far in the rear anything that you have accomp lished heretofore. It is the purpose of the Progress to try tcTseciire for this county a Canning Club Agent, so that this line of work can be ndded to that of the Corn Club, Pig Club and the Colt Club. In the agricultural and the civic farm a.home of beauty to which and moral development of our Cairo Has Splendid New Office BUilding Possibly we are not strictly with in the truth when wo head this story os we do, but while the big Roddenbery building was been built for some few years, yet as an office building it is new. And take it from us it is a peach. The Progress man made a brief trip through the building this week, and while the finishing touches are still being' given, it already will rank as one of the most conveni ent and desirable lot of offices to bo found anywhere. Col. J. Q. Smith,*lias the big double-- office in the sonthwest front corner. Mr. E. D. Rivers will be with him after J une. Col. P. C. Andrews-comes next with a splendid double office in the center front, Col. S. P. Cain has the northwest front corner with an other set of double offices, Col. Jra Carlisle has a large double set of offices on the north side, Mr. C. S. Roe of the P. & II. railroad it was pointed out to us would oc cupy a splendicf roomy office near the center of the building with -a good outlook over the town to the south. All in all it is a most desirable addition to the office equipment of the town and the gentlemen who have occupied.them are to bo congratulated for the attractive manner in which they are .cquiping them ^ WANTED—I want all the chick ens in Grady count}’, bring them in and get the highest price.

The splendid letter from ‘ Citi- zen” that we publish from Whig-; ham in this issue is one that con- J tains a good deal to make us pause ^ and think. If one good citizen! coming into that section from a section of another state has been the cause of bringing in quite a colony from the same section, does it not behoove the people! who. %re interested in seeing our population increased by the coming of good citizens into the county, to put forth some especial efforts to ob tain a good settler from various sec tions from which we migiit hope to secure settlers in-order that said settlers might act as a sort of mis sionary carrying back to his folks the advantages to be found here. J We need more good farmers in Grady county and if wc can get tile tide sufficiently set this way the matter will take care of- itself very largely in just the, way that- Citizen’s article suggest!

We dare say there are many other of the negroes jvho, have gone north this winter that would like to have a ticket Wired them that they might once more set foot on the sun kissed fields of South Georgia. A real estate t ransfer that will be of wide interest was the sale of the Central Hotel property last week by the veteran hotel man Mr. Z. R Jones to Mr. G. D. Reddick who has already taken charge and will run it in future. Mr,-Jones during .the series of years that lie has conducted the hotel has made a wide circle of friends among the traveling men, and'lhey will miss-his. genial wel come in ease he does not connueli to reside at the hotel. Mr.-Reddick is. one of our pro gressive young business men and with the assistance of Mrs. Redd ick who before her marriage as-' sisled her father in the manage ment of the hotel, they are sure to make the. hotel oven more popular than'at present.
