Let's Have Water.
It is a sure fact that it now
lies in the power of Cairo citi
zens to enjoy the blessings of
pure water at a very small
—and to have it conveniently at
hand too. The well which has
been sunk upon the residence
lot of Mr. K. P. Wight has been
finished and promises to supply
sufficient water for the entire ci
ty if the necessary arrangements
can be made to utilize it. W hy
not let the city put in a system
of mains and supply pipes and
furnish the water to the resi
dents of the city? A tower on
the high point where the well
is situated would not have to be
very high to give the desired
pressure, and once the system
is ever established the revenue
from consumers would eliminate
any cost to the city. T he city
needs the water and we believe
the people as a whole will be
glad to see the city fathers take
the necetsary steps to supply it.
Good water is conducive to good
health; and without good health
no town can prosper.

TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SURGRKY.
Wonderful things are done for the hu
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and scraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the place of
diseased sections of veins; antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before inflamma
tion sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and in one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. It is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. It also allays
the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to mention the
inconvenience and suffering which such
injuries entail. For sale by Wight &
Browne.

Mr. John Post, of the Atlanta Fire

<« For months I suffered with my kid
neys. I made every effort to get relief,
but failed until I accidentally came m
possession of a bottle of Black Weed.
The rehef obtained from its use was so
great before half the first bottle had
been used, that I put aside all other
medicines and am now sound -and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time I had an ag
gravated case of Catarrh of the head
and throat. Black Weed has completely
cured this, and my head is now as clear
as a bell.”
