Advertising rates reasonable, and furnished upon application. mm Uill/Lli' 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. If you are hunting for a loca tion, you can do no better than anchor at Cairo; recognized as the best town in south-west Ga. Naval experts say that Russia has no navy, But if Russia were given a navy, she couldn’t keep it. I Vesuvius is throwing up I ': j umns of dust. What a fine j campaign orator Vesuvius would make! 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 remarks: Georgia will be a 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 can, however, is, strictly speak ing, a “coon. fdfi|| I 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. DO YOU WANT A bank account?
