Wanted—A new county.
How would it suit you to
have Cairo as a county site ?
If you want first class evapor
ated or kettle syrup, send
orders to Cairo, and you will get
a pure and first class syrup.
The streets of Cairo are
“ehock-er-block” with wagon
loads of syrup from Monday u n
til Saturday night.

tion, you can do no better than

Naval experts say that Russia
has no navy, But if Russia
were given a navy, she couldn’t
keep it.

Vesuvius is throwing up I ': j

campaign orator Vesuvius would

Port Arthur seems to be reach
ing the limits of its endurance
just as the Japs are reaching
^ the limits of Port Arthur.
It is announced that the An
glo Russian negotiations are pro
ceeding satisfactorily, Russia
must still be able to pay cash.
Scientists say that one square
inch of lancewood will stand a
strain of 20,000 pounds. Gen
eral Stoessel must have built
those Port Arthur forts out of
lancewood.
The National Tube company
announces an advance of $2.00
per ton in the price of pipe.
Mr. Cortelyou must have just
paid a visit to the company.
A peacemaker was shot in a
barroom fight in New Jersey
this week. This should teach
peacemakers to keep away from
barrooms and fights.
A New England girl buried
the man this week who had sued
her for breach of promise. Per
haps, though, that was better
than marrying him.
The cost of living has doubled
in Spain during the past few
years. It is hard to understand
why anyone should care to live
in Spain, anyway,
New York Herald: What is
a populist, father? A populist,
my son, is a man who shoots at
the democrats and votes with
the Republicans.
The Darien Gazette truthfullv

much better state when the va
grant be made to work or get
out.
Col. Farrow, the deposed
Gainesville postmaster, alludes
to his Republican enemies in
the ninth district as “hyenas.”
The average Georgia Republi

i. Missions are of divine ori-|
gin. Christianity is a mission- j
ary movement, It is the carry-!
ing out of the prophecy of the I
I dispensing of light amidst the j
I darkness of sin that has settled *
down like a pall upon the whole
earth. Jesus Christ was a great
missionary to this earth. Or.
Livingston well said when some
Opposed missions, “God had but j
one Son and he was a mission- j
ary.” Those who oppose or are j
not interested in missions for
get that we owe all that we are
to missions. Our ancestors
were heathens themselves, a few
centuries ago, and what we are,
we owe to the fact that the gos- j
.pel message was brought to
them. ,
2. Missions have been
successful already. Jesus said
that “this gospel should be
preached to all nations.” Wher
j j ever has been this gospel blessing has to gone, it
a man
kind. Nations have arisen out
of darkness and put on the garb
of civilization and the decencies
and blessings of life. What the
gospel has done for the heathen
of the Sandwich Islands alone,
which are now a part of the
United States, would be more
than all the money that has
ever been put into missions. 1
^ Who can compute how much it j
has done and is doing for India, j
Japan, China, Africa and other
lands? The only spots bright
spots in the world are where
Christianity in its purity has
b een preached. If we cannot
go we can help send some one
else. Those who want to see
results from their labors can see
more in heathen lands today
than in these hardened lands of
much neglected light.—Chris
tian Witness.
The Egypt General Mission,
which commenced some six
years ago by seven young men
in Belfast and the neighbor
hood volunteering to form them
selves into a mission band in
order to preach the Gospel in
Egypt, has now nine European
workers on the field, assisted by
fourteen natives, and it has
three boys’ and two girls’
schools; attended by about 250
scholars. Much blessing has
been experienced during the
year, and the income, which
amounted to about $2,500, fully
met the expenditure.—Rams
Plorn.
Robert Morrison, the first
Frotestant missionary to China,
was sent out by the London
Missionary Society in 1807.
The centenar)^ of that event
will be celebrated .in 1907. It
is planned to erect at Shanghai
an interdenominational hall as
a memorial for the martyr mis
sionaries of China, to have it
ready by that date and call it
Centenary Hall. Such a com
mon center, it is thought, will
help to unify somewhat mission
ary work in China, resulting in
expenditures and better results.
—Rams Horn.
A missionary in Ceylon says.!
that the giving of the tithe has*
been so carefully taught there,
not as a duty merely, but as a
privilege, that the • average of j
giving is much higher than!
that of Christians at home. In |
Jaffna, when the girls at school!
measure out the rice for the
day, a certain proportion to set
aside for the Lord. As the girls
pass teach into their their little own homes they! put!
ones to
aside for the Lord-a handful of!
rice. This daily handful from !
the Christian familes (aside
from the tenth) supports mis
sion work on the surrounding
[islands.—Rams Horn.
