Woodland Items. BY UNCLE JAKE. It seems that the desire “go get something for nothing” has got away with the people’s better judgment. I got a circular last week from a whiv.key house in Macon, giving the prices o' their whiskey which was alright, but they mast have a bait to offer, as they offer three prizes, the first a tip-top young mule to the one who gets the right number, may not ha/e one chance to ten thousand, but it brings the trade and the people get their bad whiskey and get drunk. There are plenty of slop drinkers in the county. A boy rode up be hind me the other day as I was going to Cairo, and in our talk he told me that his Pa had made over $40 clear from the sale of his wine, and wine is not all they can get this side of Macon. I said to the boy that I thought his father was a “hard shell,” oh, he was but ’ain’t now, he has his church letter in the trunk. We find plenty of men who would prohibit others from put ting the bottle to his brother’s mouth, but would tell you that they have a perfect right to do what they please with what they make, and I guess when a man owns a newspaper he has a right to speak as he pleases through it, but didn’t the editor of the Times-Enterprise kinder step around on the Populist’s toes in last week’s paper. He states that Tom Watson has been to St Louis to the fair and they didn’t keep him on the pike with the other freaks. He says the day of miracles is not over. Tom Watson has as much right to his opinion as the editor of the Times-Enterprise, and I have heard three of their sub scribers say they are done with that paper. I am an admirer of Tom Watson and I think that Watson is so much the superior of the editor of the Times-En terprise until there is no com parison between the two men, and if I mistake not the editor of the Times-Enterprise is one of the men who went to St Lou is whom Tom says had to eat dirt, and from my standpoint I can’t see how any Populist can support his paper, unless he gives each one a piano or free pass to the World’s Fair at St., Louis. Mr. Rufus Fulford was down in our settlement last Saturday looking for a location for anoth er year. We hope he will find a place to suit him and move among us. He,accompanied by his brother Joe and Mr. I. D. Singletary, went to Cairo while h^ was here. Mrs. DeMot left Sunday for her home in Jefferson county, Fla., but wall stop a few days with her daughter, Mjs. Berry Singletary. Mr. Lezer Carter had the mis fortune to lose his household goods by fire Monday. Mr. Sel-* lers loses the house he occupied as well as nine hundred pounds ^of seed cotton. Mr. Gordon Dixon went down to Cairo Tuesday to market the second bale of cotton from his patch and says he will get one more, that is better than leav ing home and home influences for pittance that many boys get after leaving home. Better Than a Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound on the effected parts, is better than a plaster for a lame back and for pains in the side or chest.

In the Womans Home Com panion Senator Depew tells of a conversation between two men of his acquaintance, one of whom is the husband of an ex ceedingly handsome woman. It appears that one evening after dinner the second man remarked to the proud husband at ,a moment when the beauty's attention was give elsewhere, “ Old man; your wife is such a beautiful creature that I won der you are not jealous of her.’ To tell the truth, I am,” answered the husband, frankly, and with fine disregard of the attempt of his friends to be facetious. a For that reason I never invite anyone here that any sane woman could take a fancy to.” Had you ever thought what protection in case of fire, good water work system would be to the town of Cairo?
