A CALL TO CAIRO
the
two
La-
Apropos of the old proverb that there comes a “tide
in the affairs of men,” etc., we want to call upon all the
citizens of Cairo to recognize the fact that we have an
opportunity before us now to start Cairo on a renewed
upward movement that will increase with momentum as
the months roll along if only we meet the present oppor
tunity as behooves us. A call for an election for a bond
issue for the construction of a sewerage system for Cairo
has been decided upon by the Mayor and Council. This
election will be held the latter part of October. There is
probably no doubt in the minds of a single citizen of Cairo
that the construction of a proper sewerage system for the
town will be a splendid step in her development. And it
should be only one of numerous other good things that
are to come to Cairo in the course of a .very few years.
But as good a thing as the buiiding of this sewerage sys
tem is, it is going to bring along with it problems that
the citizens of Cairo need to meet in a broad minded and
unselfish manner if we are to reap the benefit we should
from the movement.
These problems grow out of the diverse opinions that
are going to prevail among our citizens as to how this
thing or that thing in regard to sewerage should be done.
Of itself, there is nothing to condemn in a man having
convictions; in fact it is the one thing that is demanded
of all good citizens, but at this time we are going to nee cl
a spirit of reasonableness and a willingness to yield in
some instances private advantage for the general good.
Before the date for the vote on the bond issue we are
to have in Cairo a primary for the selection of a Mayor
and Council for the ensueing term. On the wise selection
of these men is going of course to depend in great meas
ure the efficiency of the work of putting sewerage in our
town. But on the harmony that prevails in 'the selection
of these men is going to depend in a very, large measure
whether as a town we make advancement in the next few
years. So our call at this time is for harmony and self
effacement in making the selection of these men to serve
us during this important period of our municipal life.
This is no time to remember personal likes or dislikes. It
is no time to allow factionalism of any kind to influence
us. It is no time to allow personal ambition to even so
much as be born. With harmony and good will and a
determination to do all possible to advance our town, we
should carefully weigh the fitness of our men and then
demand that they give to a united town the service that
will surely cost them something, but which will be richly
repaid in the common betterment of the town.
Cairo can never grow on factionalism nor on per
sonal ambition.
Let it this time be ALL for Cairo and Cairo for ALL.
'flic third week of the school
term is rnpitlly passing. We me
beginning to feel (hut Vacation was
only a dream, so natural i( seems
to he at work again.
Mrs, J. E, Hurst visited
s .'hool last Monday morning.
On Friday afternoon the
societies, Philomnthemis and
niers, mot for the purpose of elce-
ting new officers for this school
term. Those elected for the Philo-
nutlienn’s were; Pies'dent, Clyde
Lung, Vice president, Pauline
Barinenu, Secretary and Treasurer
William Wight. Before adjourn
ing the constitutions and by-laws
of the societies were read by the
secretary for the benefit of the
now members.
Those officers elected by the
Larders were; President Powell
Jones, Vice president, Reid Spears
secretary and treasurer, Jewell
Deklo.
Much interest was taken iir tire
society work last year.
Throughout the term there was
in evidence a spirit of friendly
v.rly which resulted in much good
tvthc students. This year again
there will be various contests, both
athletic and literary, and as each
society is planning lo win some
lively struggles arc anticipated.
Mrs. Graham Ward, was a vis
itor at sc’.tool one morning last
week.
Kiah Pope, a member of the
Senior class, was absent sevreral
days last week on account of ill
ness.
Tire two departments of tire
fifth grade had an arithmetic and
spelling match Friday morning.
The following is somewhat in re
trospection, but it is rather encour
aging just now for us to call to
mind our last years graduating
class. You remember l am sure
those girls and boys who received
their dcplomas from the Cairo
School last May. What arc they
planning for the full? Several
have become teachers themselves.
Oneida Maxwell will teach near
Eastman, Janie Bell has accepted
a position at Live Oak, near Cairo,
and Jewell Brown is assisting in
our own sehoo'. Other members
of the class have gone to take up
work at various Southern Colleges.
