Studebaker Agency To Open
In Cairo.
Coincident with the announcement
of the coming of the “caravan of
Studebaker custom cars” to Cairo for
a special exhibit next Tuesday, an
nouncement is also made that a regu
lar Studebaker agency will open here
at once.
The style of the firm is the Knight
Thompson Motor Company, which al
so has a place at Thomasville. Mr.
II. G. Knight, of Cairo, formerly of
Miami, and Mrs. C. L. Thompson, of
Thomasville, are the chief members of
the firm.
Mr. Knight states that decision will
be made in, a few days as to the loca
tion of the Cairo branch, which will
handle sales, parts and service.
Meanwhile, the special display next
Tuesday will be at Walker’s Garage.
W. O. Harrison Leases Texaco
Station, Also.
Mr. W. O. Harrison, who last week
signed a lease for the new Woco-Pep
Service Station on Bryan street, this
week acquired the lease of Mr. John
Sword on the Cairo Service Station,
local Texaco dealers, also on Bryan
street.
Mr. Wesley Moore, who has been
connected with iMtchell’s Grocery, is
now connected with the Texaco sta
tion.
Wight & Browne Will Be
Incorporated.
Legal notice is given in this issue
of the petition for incorporation of
Wight & Browne, local druggists.
This firm has been a limited partner
ship, but a two-thirds interest was
acquired last week by Miss Louise
Slater and plans were drawn up to
have the business incorporated.
Mr. R. P. Wight is the other owner.
Scarcity Of Eggs Hits
Hatchery.
Rather an acute scarcity of eggs
has developed here, and the new Hill
crest Hatchery, operated by Mr. E.
Q. Downing, is suffering therefrom.
The hatchery is being operated
with only about 500 eggs at a setting,
though it could handle 1,200.
Baby chicks are being taken off each
Tuesday.
Woco-Pep Station To Open
Saturday.
The new Woco-Pep Service Station,
at the corner of Bryan and Mitchell
1927 TOBACCO CROP
OUTLOOK REVIEWED
(Continued from page One.)
We believe that Ctady county can
grow and properly market 2,500
acres of tobacco in 1927, and still
plant all the sugar cane and provis
ions that should be planted, and per
haps, also, a small acreage of cotton.
We want to urge all, and especial
ly new tobacco growers, to let their
intentions be known, either to County
Agent E. L. England, or to J. M.
Hughes, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, Cairo, and let them pro
vide you with seed and also put you
in touch with a demonstrator, two
of whom will be on the ground by
November 1st.
We greatly appreciate the interest
the people of Cairo have shown in
tobacco, and especially in providing
a market at home, and we trust that
every grower in Grady county will
feel that his home market is his in
dividual market, and that he will sup
port and maintain it for we all know
we cannot maintain a tobacco mar
ket unless a sufficient amount of to
bacco is grown and marketed here to
justify the large tobacco concerns
to furnish us with buyers.
It has beert clearly shown by experi
ence that our climate and soil pro
duce the best tobacco from early
planting; therefore, let us be sure
to prepare our seed beds early that
we may have sufficient plants for
our crops.
Negro Fatally Injured
In Automobile Mishap
A negro, whose name was not
Famed, was fatally injured Saturday
in an automobile accident at Darsey
Crossing, near McRaeville, a few miles
west of Calvary.
The negro, alleged to have been
driving a car stolen from his employe*’
in Wakulla county, was said to have
been speeding toward Bainbridge from
Tallahassee.
As he approached the Darsey Cross
ing, a car entered the highway from
another road. In an effort to avoid
hitting the car, he lost control of the
machine he was driving, and after
clipping off a road sign supported by
a 4”x4” post he smashed into a tree,
sustaining injuries from which he died
in a Tallahassee hospital several hours
later.
The motor of the, car was almost
completely wrecked.

congregational singing will be fea
tures of each service.
