A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist Church
in Georgia, calculated to use over
one hundred gallons of the usual
kind of mixed paint in painting
their church.
They used only 32 gallons of the
Longman & Martinez paint mixed
with 24 gallons of linseed oil.
Actual cost of paint made was less
than $ 1.20 per gallon.
Saved over $80.00 in paint, and
got a big donation besides.
EVERY CHURCH will be giv
en a liberal quantity whenever
they paint.
Many houses are well painted
with four gallons of L. & M. and
three gallons of linseed oil mixed
therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.
These Celebrated Paints are
sold by Wight & Browne.

Cause of Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused
by a bacillus or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt, It is
inactive so long as exposed to the
air, but when carried beneath the
skin, as in the wounds caused by
percussion caps or rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ
is roused to activity and produces
the most virulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed
and all danger of lockjaw avoided
b J applying Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm freely as soon the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an «.nti
ceptic and causes such injuries to
heal without maturation and in
one-third the time required by the
usual treatment. For sale by
Wight & Browne.
There are several new dwell
ing houses going up in town.

Entertainment at Whigham.
The entertainment given by
the teachers at the residence of
Mrs. W. F. Lee for the benefit
of the school was quite a suc
cess. The teachers, Messrs.
Hall and Reaves, Miss Quinn
and Mrs Harrell were untiring
in their energy to amuse and
entertain the young people.
Miss Quinn furnished the
guests with delightful music.
The main feature for the even
ing was a drawing called “a zo
ological symposium.”
After an hour or so of heated
contest for the prizes, they were
won by Mr. Clarence Free of
Caiio, a handsome pocket knife,
and a bon bon basket by Mrs.
Dr. McCord.
We were glad to have some
of the young men from Cairo
with us. Also Mr. Emmett
O’Neal, a prominent young law
ler of Bainbridge was numbered
among the guests. We will
long remember Messrs. Dixson
Jordan and Elwood Bennett’s
courtesy, they certainly know
how to make strangers feel at
home.
There was a large attendance,
and a neat sum was raised
which was used to buy a basket
ball for the school.
Now that the farmers are
equipped with the telephone and
visited by the daily mail, the
next important step is to have
good roads, says the Chicago
Drover’s Journal. Every year
the good-roads movement gains
more attention, and more far
mers are convinced that it is
greatly important in carrying
on agricultural operations suc
cessfully. An experiment re
cently tried in Tennessee has
convinced the natives that
money judciously spenCin mak
ing good serviceable highways
is well invested, for it is an^ in
heritance that will pass down
the line for ages. When sound
satisfactory way can be devised
to pay for good Toads there will
be more of them. The roads
built in Tennessee cost about
$ 2,500 per mile
