How can campaign lies be
nailed when the trusts control

big stick.
Where are the good old hens
that used to lay eggs with polit
ical prophecies clearly outlined
on ’em.''
It’s a good thing for the Re
publican that letters of accept
are limited to one for each
candidate.
The straw hat may be hang
ing on with the hope of picking
up a few bribes when the straw
vote season warms up.
If the World’s Fair could speak
the fireman's drum and bugle
corps would be even more cele
brated than it is now.
Tom Watson, posing for the
Populist leader, should certain
ly avoid any malady so pluto
cratic as nervous prostration.
Judge Parker wants it under

ger trust along with the oth
ers.
Doubtless Vesuvius does look
impressive at this juncture to
those who have never seen the
American spellbinder in action.
The announcement that Nick
Longworth wants to marry Al
ice gives room tor the suspicion
that Roosevelt will get one vote,
anyhow.
The next day after the Geor
gians left St. Louis the World’s
Fair made a half million dollar
payment on it’s debt.
Forepaugh & Sells Bros, cir
cus will be at Macon on the 19th
inst., the same day that the big
State Fair opens.
It might be a good idea for
Cairo to secure a good system
of water works. It would be a
good thing to have in case of
fire.
A Kansas man has evolved a
featherless chicken, which com
plicates the task of the boarder
who insists on knowing if it was
picked before it was ripe.
The inconsistancy of life is il
lustrated in the fact that only a
short while ago we were advised

while hence we will be advised
to put ’em on again.
Lover’s quarrels will
end if the Meredith plan of

As another evidence of the j
supreme confidence Bainbridge
citizens have in the future of!
the town, on Wednesday night’s
meeting of council held for
opening the bids for electric,
light bonds, the highest bid was
made by Nussbaum Bros, of this
city, and the bonds were award-1
ed them at 105. These bonds j
bear $ per cent, interest and
have been fully described in
these colums before. You can't
down a town when her own citi
zens have the money to back I
her up, and are willing to do so, |
as in the present case.—Bain-j I
bridge Search Light. |
What Bainbridge has done:
Cairo can do. All it takes is to ,
show our citizens the advant
ages to be derived, not only in
lights but more especially in
having a plenty of water in case
of fire and the reduction of your
insurance, as with a good sys
tem of water works the risk
would not be so great, and the
citizens will come to our aid.
Now let the city fathers go to
work and call an election for
bonds and Cairo’s citizens will
be found working for Cairo’s in
terest.
Mr. R.C. Claiborne, one of the
of the fastest compositors and

tlv wheels and crushed into a
shapeless mass.
Ex-Sheriff Green S. Nelson of

Chief of Police Westbrook of
•
Albany, who was on trial for
charges of a sensational charac
ter preferred by Dr. L. G.

In Roanoke. Va., detectives
arrested Gussie Loving, a 10

Mamie De Cris, the “Diamond
yueen," who was sent up from

The Savannah News thinks it
is about time for the goose
bone weather prophet to come
along and tell us what kind of
winter we are going to have.
Senator Hoar, who had been
at the point of death for weeks,
died at his home in Worcester,
Mass. He was a noted states
man and his death is greatly de
plored.
Carrie Nation is in jail for
smashing a plate glass window

If the president could be con
vinced that current reports con

ism are true he would hesitate
no longer in sending the army
