We need a better school build
mg.
Heart's boom in Georgia
seems to have gone glimmering.
The rural mail carriers are
appreciative of the raise in their
salaries.
It appeals now as though the
people are to be bored with a
rehearsal of the Dreyfus affair.
We must, shall and will have
a better school building for Cairo
and give our young folks better
advantages.
The patriotic American nurses
going to Japan to nurse wound
ed soldiers might find more
worthy purposes at home.
Don’t forget the Democratic
mass meeting to he held at
Thomasville on Wednesday,
March 16th, at eleven o’clock.
Some candidate or other had
better be stirring or when the
primary is pulled off he may
wake and find that he’s only
been dreaming.
Politics are warm all over the
state at present, but it is hoped
that the farmer will hear the
speil of Mr. Candidate behind a
moving plow and not have to
stop. Political questions only
arise occasionally, but the meat
and bread question is always
with us.
A country hog goes to the
large packing houses at four
and a half cents a pound and
comes back breakfast bacon at
twenty-two cents a pound. He
is not the only hog in the trans
action.—Valdosta Times.
And it might be added that a
few natural fools are also mixed
up in the affair. Plenty of peo
ple had rather be robbed than
not.
The neat manner in which
the court house grounds at
Thomasville are kept is a source
of pride and pleasure to every
Thomas countian. Among the
stern realities of legal lore and
inexorable justice how sweet
the fragrance of the blushing
rose or the drooping violet.
And then the refreshing sight
of green shrubbery in the glo
rious spring time, how sweet
and refreshing it is! Those in
charge at Thomasville are to be
congratulated.
Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured
William Shaffer, a brakeman, of Den
nison, Ohio, was confined to his bed for
several weeks with inflammatory rheu
matism. 4 4 I used many remedies, 9 } he

store for a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm, at which time I was unable to use
hand or foot, and in one week’s time was
able to go to work as happy as a clam. » »

Mr. Hackney and his company
left Saturday for Pelham. While
here Mr. Hackney got very few
good houses, which was caused,
however, from unfortunate cir
cumstances rather than an in
ferior show.
It is exceedingly strange how
some business men treat a coun
try paper. If the editor goes to
a merchant and asks for credit

bank and is so fortunate as to
borrow a little of the long green
he pays from 8 to 12 per cent,
on it; and so it goes on down
the different lines of trade and
traffic. But on the other hand
let the editor add 8, io or 12 per
cent, interest on his subscrip
tion price for fall payment and
a howl will resound from Maine
to Mexico. . -itt, Who is • usually , best
able to extend credit without in
terest, the merchant, the banker
or the multi-millionaire pushing
the quill on a two-by-four coun
try weekly? And the echo
comes back that the latter is
billed for the Good Samaritan
act. As sure as fate he is des
tined to be the patron saint of
every community.
It Never Disappoints.
F. J. Williams, proprietor of the Ham
ilton Drug Co., Hamilton, Iowa, says
Chamberlain’; Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy is practically the only
remedy he sells for cramps, diarrhoea and
colic, for the plain reason that it never
disappoints. For sale by Wight &
Browne.
Hon. Fondren Mitchell.
In our columns this week we
publish the announcement of
Hon. Fondren, who is a candi
date for re-election as represen
tative of Thomas county in the
legislature. Everbody knows
Fondren Mitchell and his excel
lent record in the House and ’tis
needless for us to enumerate the
many characteristics which so
eminently fit him for the legis
lative hall. As a parliamenta
rian no man in the Georgia
legislature ishis superior and
with the entire body of law-ma
kers he is very popular. Unless
this scribe is badly fooled he
will be the next speaker of the
House of Representatives. At
least all the straws point that
way now. 'Eres 'oping he will
have a walkover.
A Favorite Remedy for Babies.
Its pleasant taste and prompt cures
have made Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
a favorite with the mothers of small chil
dren. It quickly cures their coughs and
colds and prevents any danger of pnue
monia or other serious consequences. It
not only cures croup, but when given as
coon as the croupy cough appears will
prevent the attack. For sale by Wight
& Browne.
Hon. J. W. Groover.
Among the old county officers
to announce for re-election will
be found this week that of Hon.
J, W. Groover, as a candidate
for re-election to the clerks of
fice. For twenty-five years Mr.
Groover has filled the office ac
ceptably and with entire satis
faction to every citizen of the
county and by his courteous
treatment of his constituents he
has made friends who will ever
be with him. He is in every
way qualified for the office.
Mr. W. E. Dunn, of Newton,
Ala., has been in the city this
week for the purpose of complet
ing arrangements to begin work
upon the two new brick stores
to be erected by Poulk Bros, and
Mr. Tno. L. Poulk in the near
future. We learn that Mr. Dunn
will be here ready to begin work
about April the 15th. His many
Cairo friends were glad to meet
him while here.

J. W. GROOVER.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper reme
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called. It should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and by the proper treatment of these dis
eases a threatened attack of pneumonia
may be warded off. There is no question
whatever about this, as during the thirty
years and more that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy has been used, we have yet to
learn of a single case of a cold or attack
of the grip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used. It is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W.
J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a
druggists, says of it: “I have been selling
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and pre
scibing it in my practice for the past six
years. I use it in cases of pneumonia
and have a' ways gotten the best results. >1
Sold by Wight & Browne.
And still the announcements
come.

from Decatur county, was here
