Although no announcements
are being made, more than one
Thomas countian is wearing
a smile that savors strongly of
politics.
Since the present trouble be
tween Japan and Russia the im
portance of a good navy is ap
parent to everyone, and the peo
ple of the United States are no
doubt a unit on the subject of a
better one.
As soon as a young negro has
learned a little about books he
gets the idea that he can make
a living without work. And
such an idea is a curse to a
young person, black or white,
male or female, Education
shoud qualify for more work and
better work and education which
does not do this is a curse.—
Americus Times-Recorded.
When you see two men, says
an exchange, with arms en
twined in sweet conversation
while one tells the other about
his health, his wife and children
and other personal matters,
think not that is is the meeting
of two long lost brothers or boy
hood friends. One is a voter,
the other a candidate.—Nash
ville Herald.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
The most fascinating things
about a woman’s logic are all
the little curleyeues in it.
When a man is able to earn
his own living it is satisfactory
proof that he is not a genius.
Once there was a business
man who kept a pretty type
writer for a long time, but he
wasn’t married.
Something a woman can nev
er understand is how a man can
consider a certified check as ex
citing as money. 1
A woman’s idea is that her
husband ought to pay the debts
she runs him into, even if he
has to borrow money to do it.—

When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relive the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. This Remedy liquefies
the tough mucus and causes its
expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectora
tion, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows, This
remedy will cure a severe cold in
less time than any other treat
ment and it leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition.
It counteracts any tendency to
ward pneumonia. For sale by
Wight & Browne.

industries are reported for Geor
gia the Tradesman for last week;

supply company.

tory.

Nothing Equals Chamberlains
Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy.
Dr. P. B. Spears, of Pinchard,
Ala., has become acquainted with
the good qualities of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy and uses it in his
own family and in his practice.
He says: “It beats any prepa
ration I have ever seen for all
bowell complaints. I do not think
of recommending any ether, and
also use it with my own children.’
This remedy is for sale by Wight
& Browne.
Thomas countians should not
only elect Hon. Fondren Mitch
ell to the next house of repre
sentatives, but should see that
no opportunity is lost to assist in
placing him in the speaker’s
chair. He is the man for the
place and we believe he is bound
to win in the coming race.
Another Case of Rheumatism
Cured by Chamberlain's
Pain Balm.
The efficacy of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm in the relief of rheuma
tism is being demonstrated daily.
Parker Triplett, of Grigsby, Va.,
says that Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm gave him permanent relief
from rheumatism in the back when
everylhing else failed, and he
would not be without it. For
sale by Wight & Browne.
Macon is to again have the
State Fair. Centrally located,
wide-a-wake and fully up to all
matters pertaining to fairs, why
should Macon not have it again?
We are sure that it could not be
held in a better city. Now let
every county in the state make
ready for a winning exhibit this
fall.
Announcements.
Thomas County.
FuR REPRESENTATIVE.
] hereby announce myself as a candidate for
representative subject to the action of the
Democratic primary. If re-elected I pledge
myself to a faithful performance o' all the
duties of the office. My past record in the of
fice is open to inspection and relying upon
this I submit my claims to the voters of the
county and solicit their support.
John R. Singletary.
Decatur County.
FOR SOLICITOR.
To the Voters of Decatur County.
I desire to announce that 1 am a candidate
for the office of the Solicitor of the City Court
of Bainbridge, subject to the action of the
white Democratic Primary. I was born and
rearer in Decatur county, and have lived here
all my life, during the last eight years of
which 1 have been actively engaged In
the practice of law and feel that 1 could fill
the responsible position to the satisfaction
the public. Those who know me know thai I
am dilligent in business, and am always found
on the side of right and duty. The other can
didates have held this office. Mr. Gilpin held
it under tne Act creating the City Court of De
catur county, before the City Court of Bain
bridge was established in its stead, and Mr.
Russell, the present incumbent has held the
position under the Act creating the City Court
of Bainbridge, his term of office of four years
in this position will expire shortly after the
general election of this year. This office, with
its duties, being one that will gseatly develop
a young man in the practiue of law, f id the
other two candidates haviug held the pot -
tion, there could be no wrong in electing me
to the position and gratifying a laudible am
bition, and I therefore respectfully and eain
tstly ask the suffrage and support of all the
white citizens of this county.

Mr. McCall's Lecture.
Cairo citizens were given a
treat Monday night which they
w’ere not expecting. Mr. S. P.
McCall, of New Orleans, deliver
ed his lecture a A Drunkard’s
Fate,” at the Methodist church
in this city tc a fair audience on
this occasion, and few who wen.,
expected to hear a discourse so
earnest, able and eloquent as
was this. In fact this ea' ne ...L
man, fired with his work, com
ing as he did, unheralded and
without notoriety, into a strange
place proved a surprise to aU.
From start to finish his lecture
was an admixture of pathos,
earnestness and eloquence and
was delivered with the grace
and ease of an orator to the
manor born. We venture the
assertion that more in the way
of merit was given in this free
for-all lecture than in any that
will be heard in this city in a
long time to come.
Perfect Confidence.
Where there use to be a feeling
of uneasiness and worry in the
household when a child showed
symptoms of croup, there is now
perfect confidence. This is owing
to the uniform success of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy in the
treatment of the disease. Mrs.
M. I. Basford, of Poolesville, Md.
in speaking of her experience in
the use of that remedy says: “I
have a world of confidence in
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy fo,
I have used it with perfect suc
cess. My child Garland ie sub
ject to severe attacks of croup and
it always gives him prompt relief.’

Hon. J. B. Rountree Here.
Hon. J. B. Rountree, of Bar
wick, merchant, farmer, politi

iness and greeting friends. To
a representative of the Messer

just at present he could not spy
whether or not he would be a

representative in the legislature.
However if he does enter the
campaign the Messenger pre
dicts a warm time for his oppo
