What Thomas county needs
is less of politics and more of
good roads.
County politics are slow, but
how much better this way than
tinged with envy, slander and
genei ai mud-slinging?
Atlantans are “kinder ' * over
doing the thing in the matter of
Parker elubs. A too heavy dose
of Atlanta spirit(s) no doubt.
We hope the Atlanta Journals
X-ray will again <be turned on the
third house” at the coming ses-1
sion of the Georgia legislature,
1
Every politician you see row j |
is going about with a smile up- j !
on his face and a supposed
trump card up his sleeve. Just ;
watch him closely.
Everything else to the con
trary, the Messenger man hopes |
to live long enough to see Hon.
John H. Estill, of the Savannah j
Morning News, take his seat in
the gubernatorial chair, We
believe the time is coming o as!
sure as life.
Tom Loyless, of the Augusta
Chronicle, flings out this;
“The people of Macon are to |
be given a rebate on water.
But even trading stamps would
not induce some Macon people
we have known to try the stuff.
There are some sanitary eon
ditions which we cannot discuss
very freely that are often a men
ace to the public health of a
town. It is to be hoped that the
city authorities will use extraor
dinary diligence in having these
things looked after, during the
summer months especially.
We can’t see for the life of us
why a man with plenty of
ey should want to be president
and make out ef himself a target
for the newspapers’ target
tice. Seems to us it would be ,~
far more pleasant to mind one s
own business than to shoulder
the whole nation’s burden.
However, aspirations differ.
The Printer Man.
Here’s a true bit of fun now
going the rounds of the press
again which, while old, speaks
volumes;
1 1 Whether it blows or whether
it snows; the seasons come and
the seasons goes; the crops get
sick and the farmers blue; the
store keepers kick and the law
yers sue; the preachers preach
and the sinners sin, and cares be
set the souls of men. But
through it all the printer prints,
he saves and saves and stints
and stints; the wind may rave
and the floods may roll and
draughts break through from
pole to pole; but the printer man
he prints and prints, saves and
saves and stints and stints—hap
py, happy printer man; he does
the very best he can—sticking
type or twisting press, he trusts
to luck and does his oest. ♦ >
Baseball Suits Received.
The baseball suits for Cairo’s
team which were recently order
ed through W. II. Robinson &
Co., have been received, The |
suits are of grey color with ma
roon trmmings. Belts and stock
insrs are also of maroon. 1 he i
team looks well in them and if j
the boys will oilly keep to their
practice they will have little
i
trouble in coming & out victorious
in their games this season.
Taking Desperate Chances.
It is true that many contract colds and [
recover from themwithout taking any pre-|
caution or treatment, and a knowledge of I
i ai • i
tills fact leads , others t to take a their chances i
ii stead of giving their colds the need i
ed attention. It should be borne in mind
that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less able to
withstand eash succeeding cold and paves
the way for more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate chances
when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, fa
mous for its cures of colds, can be had for
a trifle? For. sale by Wight & Browne.
It is now high time that some
talk of the annual Sunday School
picnic should be agitated, The
i nic month is May and a half j
p C I
of April is gone, the piCniC j
>
month is right on us, and no
talk even, to say nothing of plans
of the annual event which af
fords so much pleasure to both
old and young. To have a sac
cessful picnic both time and
preparation are necessary, and
right now is the time to begin
planning for the coming outing
day.
Nothing Equal to Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy for Bowel Corn*
plaints in Children.
4 4 We have used Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in our
family for years,” says Mrs. J. B. Cooke,
of Nederlands, Texas. We have given it
to all of our children, We have used
other medicines for the same purpose, but
never found any thing to equal Chamber
lain’s. If you will use it as directed it
will always cure.” For sale by Wight &
Browne.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Southall
arrived in the city last week from
Quincy and will in future make
Cairo their home. Mr. Southall
has recently purchased the tele
phone system of this city from
Mr. P. G. Russell. In noting
the departure of Mr. and Mrs.
| Southall from Quincy the Gads
j deq County Times has the fol
I j lowing to say:
Mr. J. W. Southall, who for
the past few years has been the
efficient and accomodating man
ager of the Quiucy Telephone
Exchange, has resigned his posi
tion, and accompanied by Mrs.
Southall, left Saturday for Cairo
where he has purchased the Tel
ephone system of this city. Du
ring his stay in Quincy, through
his unlimited energy and courte
and his thorough knowledge
of the business, he has built up 5
the . local exchange hand
to a
soniely paying basis and at the
same time given the patrons uni
versal satisfaction. 'The many
Quincy friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Southall regret exceedingly to
see them leave, and wish and
predict for them a brilliant fu
ture in their new home.
Sciatic Rheumatism Cured.
“I have been subject to sciatic rheuma
tism for years,” says E. H. Waldron, of
Wilton Junction, Iowa., “My joints were
stiff and gave me much pain and discom
fort. My joints would crack when I
straightened up. I used Chambeerlain’s
Pain Balm and have been thoroughly
cured. Have not had a ache or pain from
the old trouble for many months. It is
certainly a most wonderful liniment. 1 *

Best Cough Medicine for Children,
When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one in which you
can place implicit confidence. You want
one that not only relieves but cures.
j You want one that is unquestionably
harmless. You want one that is pleasant
to take. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
meets all of these conditions. There is
nothin S 80 S ood for the coughs and* colds
incident to childhood. It is also a certain
preventive and cure for croup, and there
is no danger whatever from whooping
cough when it is given. It has been used
in many epidemics of that disease with
perfect success. For sale by Wight &
Browne.
