Let it rain, we need it.
Crops are looking fine, but
you better watch the grass.
Pull for Cairo or pull out—
Let that be your motto and we

United States attorney Gen
eral Knox, has been named to
succeed Quay.
It seems that the second in
Florida has told some suppos
ing tales.
The death of Henry G. Turn
er was one of Georgias heaviest
blows.
Another park has been present
ed to the city of Atlanta and
will be known as the “Egleston
Park.”
Some say that Port Authur
has fallen—well that depends up
on which column of the paper
you read.
The Russians seem to think
that they are in a game of check
ers or in other words they are
always on the move.
Atlanta’s ball team seems to
be the coming article. Well its
about time; think they have
plaj ed “rollie-hollie”long enough
for this.season.

We note that the Searchlight is
now a twelve page issue instead
of an eight. Bro. Brinson is
now getting out 'one of the best
weeklies edited in the state.
Virginia failed to succeed in
either instructing or endorsing
for Parker—wonder what the re
sults would have been if Gordon
had been considered.
And its General Stephen D.
Lee of Mississippi to succeed
the late General Jno. B. Gordon
as Commander-in-chief of the
Confederate veterans
Again the Russians bump it
hard by stepping into another
Japanese trap. Live and learn,
but it seems at the present rate
there will be but few left to tell
tlite tale.
Its any one mans business to

Hon. Henry G. Turner.
We clip the following from
the Macon Telegraph:
it This sad announcement will
bring sorrow to many a heart in
Georgia and throughout the
country. Recently resigned
from the supreme bench, he a
second time went voluntarily
to private life from high official
station, mainly on account of
his health.
After several terms in the
Georgia legislature he went to
congress for sixteen years, and
then laterly he served one year
on the suppreme bench.
In whatever station in life,
whether as a lawmaker,judge or
as a private citizen, he was al
ways a consistent, able, conser
vative gentleman. His position
in congress was second to none.
In ability and character he had
no superiors. The only stum
bling block to his advancement
in political life to the very high
est station obtainable by South
ern statesmen was his great
modesty, amounting almost to
painful timidity; and yet whei
aroused and enlisted in any oth
er cause than his own he was
lion-hearted and irresistible.
The burden of his political life
was the usage which required
him to go out once in two years
and plead his own cause before
the people for reelection He
never knew how to do it except
when his personality was linked
closely with an issue. He had
great moral courage, and never
stopped to count the cost when
it became necessary to take the
stand on a public question. He
first decided that he was right
and then no consideration of per
sonal safety in politics stood in
the way of his straightforward
advocacy of his convictions.
When the Democratic party
in 1894 and 1896 was making
an alliance with those who ad
vocated the debasement of our
currency, Judge Turner stood up
in congress and spoke as a warn
ing prophet to his people. They
turned a deaf ear to him, and
with a sad heart he voluntarily
surrendered a seat he had held
against all comers for sixteen
years, an,d turned his face to his
home and private life—because
as he said to his constituents
who wanted him to keep
place: < i My party has gone
wrong; I cannot defend its ac
tion. Neither can I join its en
emies. There is nothing left for
me to do but to step aside and
,
await the reaction.
A number of people believe
that after Toombs, Stephens and
Hill, Turner was the greatest
Georgian up tc the time of his
death—great in the rounded
character of head and heart.”
TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SURGREY.
Wonderful things are done for the hu
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and scraped and polished and put
back, or the}' may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the place
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', Pam Balm acta on
same principle. It is an antiseptic and
when a PP lie( J tc such injuries, causes
*hem to heal very quickly. I. also allay,
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
in ™nvenience and suffering, which such
injuries entail. For sale by‘Wight &

A Reply to the Bachelor’s Ad.
^ ou are n °t hard to please Mi.
Bachelor,
And you say you are not ver),

But a girl who has read your
poem,
Has concluded that you told
O-my!
From all the great bevy of girls,
sir—
You speak as if you might select
A girl to become your abject
slave.
But sir, you might get hen-peck
ed.
For a delightful wife you have!

Then si sir, prepare your drugs,
For a delicate wife will soon fade
awav
With the burdens she’ll have to
lug.
she must shine a gem in the
parlor too,
jhis wife so gentle, refined,
| She cannot be such a loving
wife !
Unless you are exceedingly kind. 1
Oh, hear ye all! this wife must
work,
; And cut down expenses too,
Now how on earth can a delicate
wife
Have so much work to do?
She must even scrub in the
kitchen .
And save up all his “dough”
For him to spend in club-rooms
And in treating friends, you
know.
This loving, useful, little wife
May be scrubbin’ the kitchen
floor
When strangers, agents, etc.,
Come knocking at the door;
Then prithee how can she en
tertain
What her husband calls a
plague?
She would be sweet tempered
indeed, sir,
Not to wish herself in The Ha
gue.
a Woman’s meetings” would not
enter her brain,
She would be too busy at home I
Practicing daily economy,
While her husband was “throw
ing bones.”
As to attending-‘sewing circles”
She’d have sewing to do else
where,
When a A button is off mv
shirt dear,"
My club meets tonight, I’ll be
there.
When this useful, sweet-temper
ed, little wife
Has washed and scrubbed and
cooked,
She couldn't well-plav an organ
For a terrible sight she’d look
With her delicate hands all
blistered
And complexion tanned like one
Who had married the “Reuben
who came to town”
Instead of Vanderbilt’s son.
Mr. Bachelor, your ad. is an
swered now
By one who could not fill the
place,
Because Mr. Bachelor you’re to
hard to please,
'Twould be tough to run with
you, life’s race,
You’d work your “angel” wife ,
almost to death,
While you speak not of own
self labor,
But may-be some day the com
poser of this
Will see how you live—as a
neighbor.
