OBLISSE OBLIGE
If I am weak and you nro strong,
Why then, why then,
To you the braver deeds belong,
And so again,
If I have shade and you have sun,
If you have gifts and I have none,
’Tis yours with truer grace to live;
ITis yours With freer hand to give;
Thnn I, who giftlcss, sunless stand
With barren life and hand.
We do not ask the little brook to turn the
wheel;
.Unto the larger stream wo look;
The strength of steel wo do not ask from
silken bands;
Nor hearts of oak in willow wands.
We do not ask tho wren to go
Up to tho heights that'eagles know.
Nor yet expect the lark's clenr note,
From out the doves’s dumb throat.
’Tis wisdom’s law, the perfect code
By love inspired
Of him on whom much is bestowed,
So much required.
The tuneful throat is bid to sing;
The oak must reign, tho forest's king.
The beaten Btcel its strength must prove,
The rushing strenm tlio wheel must move;
’Tis given to tho eagle’s eyes,
To face the midday skies.

One by one the old awnings ate
going. Let’s make it unanimous.
Cairo looks a lot better with
those weeds cut.
We are hoping that the little
park near the depot is soon to
realize.
Grady Day should certainly be
the biggest day we have ever hud.
It depends on you, Will you do
your part?
Cairo’s White Way is a big step
forward. Now let the paved side
walks and the sewerage follow just
g? spon as possible.
Row about the tin cans? Are
there any in town that should bo
gathered? Eaoh can will raise a
swarm of mosquitoes. Every one
should be hauled away or buried.
The School District Parades
should be about the biggest feature
pf Grady Day. The districts
should begin now to plan to cap
ture those prizes.
Tnere are a number of problems
that a good live Board of Trade
Could help Cairo to solve right
flow. Team work of the proper
sort would return many fold for
the energy and money expended
As To Our Game Laws
Wc received this week an nnony-
mous communication asking that
it be published in our paper. Wc
thought it was, by this time, clearly
understood that no communication
will be published unless the pub
lishers arc furnished with the name
of tlio author. However,' in this
case it would not have secured the
publication of the article ill ques
tion, even had the author signed
his name, as so far as we can make
out, it is only the growl of some
party who has been caught violat
ing the game law and wishes to
abolish the game law for that reas
on.
Wc suppose it is a very common
occurrence for those for those who
violate laws to wish for their abol
ishment. The chief trouble with
the author o f this anonymous
article in question is that he docs
not Hcom to realize that laws are
enacted for the common good and
not to suit the opinions of any one
man. Re also loses sight of the
fact that all our interests interlock
and that what effects one man
effects his neighbor.
He seems to think that because
he committs crime on his own land
that it docs not effect any one e|sc.
Of course that is not a sound view
to take of the matter. If he kills
all the birds on his land and the
bugs overspread his fields, it is very
sure that they arc going to cross
into his neighbor’s premises.
Wc could in no sense favor the
abolishment of our game laws, but
here and now we call on our citi
zens and on our wardens to stand
for a strict observance of them.
Wo do not believe the flagrant vio
lations of our game and fish laws is
any more to be condoucd than is
the violation of any other of our
game laws.
