X SOME BOOZE ORDERED Slvty-lour Money Orders In One Day For Whiskey From Cairo Postolllce. If one should judge by the num ber of money orders sent from the Ciiiro postoflice for whiskey he would be lead to believe that it takes con siderable whiskey to Bupply the de mand of the people of Cairo and those living on the six rural routes leading out from Cairo. During the month on December $4 ,000 worth of money orders went from the Cairo postoflice for whis key. In one dav 64 was used. The Southern Express Company also did a thriving business at the same time for the same kind of goods. Another bad feature is nine tenths of the other $1,000 went off to mail order houses for goods that could have been purchased from the local merchants for the same money and a better grade of stuff furnished It is estimated that between 88,- 000 and $10,000 is sent away from here annually to mail order houses who do not contribute one cent to help maintain the schools and churches and courts of the county, also drains the county of just the amount of profits made by the local merchants never to return. And the local merchants will nine times out of ten sell a better article for the same money. THE DEM OF J New Governor Inaugurated and Wants Liquor Interests and Politics Divorced. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 16—Em met O’Neal of Florence, Ala., Ala bama's thirty-fourth Governor aqd ninth native son to hold that office, was sworn in this afternoon on a platform near the state house. In his inaugural address to the Legislature today, Gov. O’Neal de clared Alabama’s prohibition laws to be an invasion bf individual ights and constitutional guarantees and branded the attempt to insert a prohibition clause in the state con stitution as an offspring of intoler ance and bigotry. He proclaimed prohibition a failure and-recom mended a general local- option law. He advocated a divorce between the liquor interests and politics and said it could be accomplished by the creation of an excise.commission, vested with power to control liquor traffic. Gov. Braxton Bragg Comer, in relinquishing the office to Governor O’Neal, took a parting 9bot at con porate interests. He said: “Both in Congress and before the federal courts at Washington there is now going on a gigantic struggle to free the government and the peo ple from the grasp of the strongest combination of allied interests ever formed. Never has there been such an insurrection against their selfish rule. The states from the extreme East to" the extreme West, whether Republican or Democratic, are aroused as never before.” Rev. L. M. Suttori Gone to His Reward. Rev. L. M. Sutton, one of the oldest and best beloved of the minis ters-of ttie Methodist Church in South Georgia, died January the 16th, at the home of his son in Live Oak, Fla. His body was brought to Thoniasyille, and was carried thence to the old Spring Hill cem etery where it was buried. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. George Matthews, pastor of the Thomasville Methodist Church. It was at old Spring Hill church that Brother Sutton lived and did some ®f his best work and it was here that the old saint wished to be buried Many will read this note of the passing away of this venerable gen tleman with a tinge of Badness. He was a, father in Israel to many. Few have labored more earnestly for the salvation of his fellows than “Fat her Sutton.” He left many monuments to his consecration to Christ in the form •f churches erected almost entirely through his seal and energy. To them he always contributed gener ®uely of his means which were by no means large. Among these ..•hurches are Recovery and Sutton’s chapel, both in Decatur County, besides several in this and in Miller and in other counties. Brother Sutton was an occasional visitor to Cairo and its vicinity. His last trip was to attend the District Confer ence. He was, then very deaf and had about lost his voice, but his face was aglow with the light of heaven and bis heart filled'to overflowing with the peace and joy of God.

Hundreds of tiny spangles of the most vivid yellow are sprinkled over the coiffure, by means oi: a divice that 5 distri butes them evenly, but oftener in irregular handfuls, hightening the effect. The glitter that gold dust lends to head-dresses is not only be- wildereing, biitbeutiful. Nor is it restricted to women whose hair is golden, brown or black. Those whose heads are crowned with gray or white find the new whim becoming. Indeed, snowy locks powdered with gold are attrac tive in the extreme—a little start ling, it may be, but illustrative of the fact that in this enlighten ed age no woman need really grow old.
