It seems that the county at
large is prospering, not only
Cairo; nevertheless we are en
joy mg the full benefits of it.
The new county bill having
been signed by Governor Ter
rell, all that remians to be done
will be to properly advertise the
law in one paper in each con
gressional district of the state,
and the people to vote on the
question this fall.
When a native lady enters a
Japanese railroad carriage, she
slips off her tiny shoes, stands
upon the seat, and then sits de
murtely with her feet doubled
beneath her. A moment later
she lights a cigarette or her lit
tle pipe, which holds just tobac
co enough to produce two good
whiffs of smoke.
The Democrats were beaten
in advance in the years of 1896
and 1900. The Republicans
hoped to get them at the same
disadvantage again this year,
but they were fooled. Not only
are the Democrats not beaten
in advance, but there is an ex
cellent prospect that they will
not be beaten at all.
Listen at the Savannah Morn
ing News: President Roosevelt
is not going to have any politi
cal dead wood about him in his
cabinet, according to a Wash
ington story, which says that
he has told all of his secretaries
that he expects them to get out
and hustle for the ticket. Secie
taries Hay and Hitchcock, who
are very rich, may be excused
from a little of the active hust
ling, in consideration of large
campaign contributions from
them, but the o'-hers have got
to step lively. There’s a hard
fight ahead and the President
knows it.

Miss J. D. Brown & Co.
But She Took It.
Senator Gallinger of New
Hamshire, who is also a physi
eian, enjoys telling of the case
of a young lady in Boston, an
ardent member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union,
who was once taken violently ill
in consequence of a too free in
dulgence in lobster salad.
When the doctor whc was
hastily summoned to her relief
arrived, says the New York Her
ald, he at once determined to
administer a stimulant, but the
spinster balked at the brandy
proffered her.
i i Brandy?” she exclaimed as
vigorously as her condition
would permit. “Dare you offer
me brandy sir?
44 But it is madam M
necessary,
expostulated the physician; “you
are quite ill.
The lady answered: 4 * And I
may die, sir, but I’ll not meet
my Maker with brandy on my
breath.
44 She didn’t,” adds Senator
Gallinger: “but they made her
take the brandy just the same. ♦ ♦
A rich Chicago man hunting
in the Michigan woods recentlv
came one night upon a camp of
strangers at which two young
women were preparing supper.
He was tired and hungry. The
strangers insisted on becoming
his hosts, and he gladly accept
ed. The chief cook of the camp
was Miss Violet Teskey, and
the supper she gave the hungry
Chicago man was so good and
so well prepared that his heart
went out to the young woman
af once. Upon his return to
Chicago his mind continued to
dwell on the good supper in the
Michigan woods and the pretty
face and trim figure of the cook.
Calling for a telegraph blank,
he dispatched this message to
the young lady’s address: “You
are so good a cook that you
must good in everything. Will
you marry me?” After a reason
able time the answer came
back, “Yes.” So they are going
to be married early in August,
and will spend their honey
moon in camp in that woods.
The savage tribes in the in
terior of Brazil are exceedingly
fond of roast monkey. It is es
timated that a small tribe of 200
Indians consumed over 1,200
monkeys during a year. It is
said that until recently monkey
meat was for sale in the butch
er shops of Rio Jeneiro. Mr.
Wallace, when in the Amazon
region, had a monkey cut up
and fried for breakfast. The
flesh somewhat resembled rab
bit in flavor, and had no un
pleasant or peculiar taste.
