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 sa}-s. i « Finally I sent to McCaw’s drug 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. » » For sale by Wight & Browne. 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.

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.

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.

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. Let us have lights and water!
