That is the question; wheth
er ’tis nobler to cut loose from
a crowd of Republicans in
Thomas County, which name
we have been keeping from dis
grace for many years by lend
ing our vote to keep them in
the Democratic column; or to
remain with old Thomas and
run the risk of the Republicans
in the balance of the county
outnumbering us in a few years,
and thereby dragging us down
with a^crowd of Republicans—
blue-bellies and negroes.
In the name of all that’s good,
give us Grady County. Don’t
you say so?
We are sweetly dreaming of
Grady County, and we have
good reasons to believe that our
dreams will be realized before
the year 1905 shall have been
rolled back into the past, not
withstanding what Messrs. Wil
son Hardy, Jack McCartney,
Wyche Linton and George
Chestnut may say and do to the
contrary.
These men seem to realize
that Cairo is a great power in
politics, and this being the
case, gives us good reasons to
believe that we will be success
ful in getting the New County.
Whigham, too, fears the
power of Cairo and opposes the
New County for fear that when
Grady County is formed that
their devilsh dispensary will be
wiped off the face of the earth.
They will tell you, too, that
the merchants of Cairo will go
up on the price of their goods
in order to defray expenses of
getting the New County.
We brand that as a black
lie.
We guarantee that we will
charge not a penny more profit
on our goods than we have been
charging.
We will also do our level best
towards keeping up Cairo’s rep
utation ■ for being the best
market in the County for all
kinds of produce raised by our
farmer friends.
We expect to maintain our
reputation for buying more
chickens and eggs than any
one firm in Thomas or Decatur
county. If you doubt it, we
will gladly compare our ship
ping records with any other firm
in either county.
We will continue to do busi
ness on the “Live and Let
Live” plan—giving full weight
and measure, and value re
ceived for every dollar and
penny spent at our store.
Yours for Grady County,
