Coming This Way More than a mere announcement of another circus is news of the all new post-war return of the famous Sparks Circus, which is to appear at Thomasville, Tuesday, Sept. 24, Bainbridge, Thursday, Sept 26. For the first time in more than a decade, the old reliable Sparks title is once more emblaconing the finest in circus traditions. Although the 1946 edition is new throughout in a physical sense, it is, however, built on the original Sparks policy that makes it now, as in the past, “A Supreme Achievement in Clean Amusement.” In a setting of today, the richly abundant performance embraces all the cherished elements which, for generations, have made the train ment. The imposing array of talent includes all manner of aerialists, acrobats, tumblers, jugglers and clowns, augmented by the perfor¬ mance of elephants, liberty and high-school horses, ponies and vari¬ ous other trained animals. Top feature is Damoo Dhotre, the world-renowned Hindu wild-animal trainer, appearing in a great steel barred arena with a mixed group of black and spotted leopards from Asia and Africa, black jaguars from Ecuador and pumas from Panama. Performances start at 2:30 in the afternoon and 8 o’clock at night. SET YOUR SIGHTS \ \ ii takes planning , - to achieve u IX. goal ■ a / Some young men know what they want and plan for it.

MISS GERTRUDE ATKINSON BECOMES BRIDE OF BUFORD BROCK.— Miss Gertrude Atkinson, of Thom¬ asville, became the bride of Buford Brock, of Cairo, on Monday, Sep¬ tember 16th, at the home of Rev. R. A. Bowen, in Cairo, with Rev. Bowen performing the ceremony. For her marriage the bride wore an aqua model with brown accessor¬ ies. Her corsage was a purple throated orchid. She is employed as chief operator of the Telephone Company in Thom¬ asville. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Brock, of Cairo. He recently received his discharge from the army after serving for four years and three months; 2 1-2 years was spent in Alaska and about four¬ teen months in the Philipines. He is owner and manager of the Tri¬ angle here. After their marriage the young couple left for a short trip to Pen¬ sacola and other Florida points. They expect to return to Cairo dur¬ ing the week-end and make their home at the Forrester House. The earliest form of camera was the “camera obscura,” which was in¬ vented by Hooke in 1679. THE CAIRO MESSENGER, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1948 Talmadge Announces Democratic White Primary Plans Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge recently announced that Georgia’s proposed white Democratic primary will be closely patterned after South Carolina’s “lily white” voting sys¬ tem. He also explained that he was basing some of his plans for a party association on the decision handed down by Judge Samuel H. Silbey in the Primus King case, which in Tal madge’s opinion stated in effect that so long as primaries were controlled by state laws Negroes could vote in primaries. Talmadge plans to convert the present wide-open Democratic Party into a “voluntary party” associa¬ tion.” He will ask the state Demo¬ cratic convention at Macon to do just this. South Carolina last year wiped out all state laws regulating voting and the Democratic Party set up its own rules to insure against Negroes voting. Talmadge says he believes the party gathering on Oct. 9 will be one of the most important in the state’s history as it turns to the task of setting up a white primary. Talmadge leaders will ask the convention’s delegates to adopt re¬ solutions embracing rules for run¬ ning party primaries. These rules will say that only white persons can belong to the voluntary Democratic organization. The convention also will be asked to pass resolutions calling on the general assembly to strike all elec¬ tion laws from the statute books. The only laws pertaining to elec¬ tions would be those pertaining to fraud and these will be set out und¬ er the police powers of the state. Cox Keynoter. Meanwhile, a source allied with the Talmadge group said Rep. Eu¬ gene Cox of the Second Congres¬ sional District had been named as keynote speaker at the Macon con¬ vention. Talmadge would not comment on the reported selection of the fiery Cox who often has been at odds with the national administration. The governor-nominate said the party officials would be selected at Macon and he would not disclose any personal choices before that time. Asked what steps he was taking to prepare for his new administra¬ tion, Talmadge replied slowly: “Now don’t you know you can’t hit a ball until it comes across the plate?” He did say, however, that in the past it had been the practice for the general assembly to adopt the platform of an incoming governor because that platform, in effect, had been endorsed by the people. About the only thing new in the way of politics Talmadge would dis¬ cuss was his new grey felt hat— one of his political trademarks. The wiry Talmadge commented that his health had been good late¬ ly although at the moment he is bothered with a cold. 4-H Club Organized At Reno School • (Left Out Last Week). Miss Myrtle Walters, H.
