Pull for Cairo or pull out— Let that be your motto and we are sure to have a city yet. 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 read all the Constitution has to say about the Kloeckler case.

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 & Browne.
