Improvements which are de
manded by the growth of our
little town can be noticed daily.
This week our enterprising tele
phone exchange man, Mr.South
all began the erection of a num
ber of new poles on Broad St.,
this becoming necessary on ac
count of the old poles being
filled, and the cry from the peo
pie for phones, He will soon
have things in shape to make
the transfer of the wires, and
put in operation the many new
phones that havo been wanting.
Mr. Dunn, who has built the
store houses of Jno.L. and Poulk
Bros., is now busily engaged
putting down the pavement on
the front, and we have learned
with pleasure that as soon as
this work is finished he will im
mediately start the pavement
ment of the entire walk from
corner of Wight block to the
Poulk building. This will gi.ve
us the greater portion of our
■walk on this side paved.
The firm of Baggett & Lewis
is making considerable improve
ments on their warehouse and
when the work is finished the
floor space will be double that
of heretofore. Owing to their
immeuse feed and guano busi
ness, to provide for the cotton
and syrup of the ensuing season
these improvements were nec
essarv.
W number of young people
spent an enjoyable evening on
Monday last; Miss Lottie Jones

The guests gathered early and
owing to the pleasure of the
evening, the “wee” hours bf the
night was opon them ’ere they
realized that the hour for depar
ture had come. Beautiful mu
sic was rendered by the differ
ent guests all through the eve
ning and with the recital from
Miss Evans, which was render
ed in a most impressive maimer,
was indeed enjoyable.
A Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our heart
felt thanks and appreciation to
the people of Cairo who, by their
valuable assistance and words
of sympathy, aided us so much
in our recent sad bereavement.
May he who watches over
the destines of all, reward each
one. is our prayer.—Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Poulk.
The prosperity of Cairo is a
thing that is noticed by ever y
visitor, as well as citizen,—think,
just five years ago the town was
only about half that of to-day.
Let every one ‘‘be one" and pull
for the town. Below we give
some figures that will act as one
proof that we are not only pros
pering to the outside world, but
in “figures that do not lie:”

This Afternoon at 4 P. M. on
Local Diamond Cairo Cross*
es Bats With Thomas*
ville.
What promises to be a good
game of ball will be played on
the local diamond this afternoon
between our boys and the Thom
asville line-up. For some hme
the two teams have been anx
ious to cross bats, but in each
case something has prevented.
The Thomasville boys have been
playing good clean ball, and
while our boys are not in the
best of trim, they will endevor
to make the game an apprecia
tive one.
Little has been heard of the
Cairo ball team for the past
three weeks, as they have been
taking things easy since their
last defeat, but in a quiet way
they have been doing some good
practice work, and it is hoped
that they will win this game and
revive the base ball interest,
which affords very interesting
sport during the long summer
days. Let the people of the
town turn out and give the boys
their hearty support. -The usu
al admission of io and 15 cents
will be charged to help pay the
expenses of the visiting team.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea Af*
ter Ten Years of Suffering.
“I wish to say a few words in praise of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy,’ says Mrs Mattie Burge,
of Martinsville, Va. “L suffered from
chronic diarrhoea for ten years and dur
ing that time tried various medicines
without obtaining any permanent rebel.
Last summer one of my children was
taken with cholera morbus, and I pro
cured a bottle of this remedy. Only two
doses were required to give her entire re

myself, and did not use all of one bottle
before I was well and have never since
been troubled with that complaint.
