All together, and vote for bonds.
A mass meeting of citizens was
held in the hall over the Cairo
Banking Company Tuesday night
last, to discuss the forthcoming
election to decide whether or not
bonds to the amount of $ 15,000
should be issued or not. for the
purpose of installing water works
and an electric light plant to be
owned and managed by the city.
There was some sixty odd citi
zens present, and the matter was
thoroughly gone into. The matter
is of such great moment that it is
not felt that Cairo can at this
time afford to let thi3 measure be
defeated, and if the sentiment of
the meeting is to be considered, it
is assured that the election will
be carried fur bonds. The city
government is run by the people
and for the people, and it is ab
surb to say that the installation
of water works will not benefit
every citizen of this growing and
thriving little city. It is the
duty of all citizens to see that our
progress is not retarded and that
we continue on the progress as we
have done heretofore, and not
take a step backward or come to a
sudden halt. Cairo is becoming
widely known all over the entire
state and in adjoining states, and
we desire to continue to have and
deserve the reputation of the most
progressive town in South Geor
gia. Stay on the water wagon.
Let all the property owners
work for and vote for bonds.
Tell me what you have for sale,
tell me where it is located, tell

The life of many a woman has
been shortened several years
by continually worrying with an

because it runs heavy, skips
stitches, and wont sew heavy,

a stitch—old style shuttle needles dip twice —hence that

A merchant in a neighboring
town states that his advertising
last year cost him forty cents on
every hundred dollars worth of
merchandise sold. He used a half
page, together with a good show
ing of local liners, and was rep
resented in every issue of both
town papers. This year he has
contracted for a full page and de
clares that he shall continue to
advertise as long as people read
newspapers. The biggest and best
merchants in the world believe in
newspaper advertising. The man
who ignores it may succeed for a
time, but he will have to give way
to the competitor who makes bet
