Woodland BY UNCLE JAKE. Uncle Dick Singletary, one the oldest men of this passed peacefully away night. His remains were red Sunday morning at the fam ily cemetery near Mr. James Montgomery’s. Mrs. Martha Fulford is visit ing friends and relatives in and near Meigs. She will probably be gone two or three weeks. Mr. J. A. Hudson was up at Woodland Sunday morning to fill his appointment, but it not being generally known, the crowd was small, but had a nice sing after Sunday School in the afternoon. Mr. J. L. Akridge and family went to Cairo Monday trading. We understand that Mr. Will Mathis is grinding cane, we will have to go and help hitn. Mr. John Wade went to Cairo Tuesday with four bales of cot ton on his wagon, one bale more than I have seen on two mules, guess as the price goes down they have to put on more bales. The farmers of this section are busy gathering corn. 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.

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. ^ ore ar e nee ded, If there is any place than another, it must be 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 Graud and Petit Jurors.
