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. Woodland Items. The light showers that fell in this community Sunday and Mondav were very much needed.

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.
