goes, one of them hung a mons

to a tree on the bank, but the
fish was tugging away \yith
such impetus that the staple

The Sunday School Picnic.
The Commitees from the three
Sunday schools of Cairo met
Monday afternoon to arrange a
time and place for the annual
picnic. The Committee were
composed as follows: Messrs.
Rushin and Geo. W. Hurst from
the Baptist school, E. M. Max
well and Puffer from the Pres
byterian, and B. F. Powell, J. A.
Lindsay and B. W. Adkins from
the Methodist. Mr. B. F. Pow
ell was made chairman of the
meeting and B. W. Adkins sec
retary. After fixing the date
lor Thursday, May 26th, the sec
retary was instructed to commu
nicate with the officials of the
Coast Line as to rates and a
train to either Blue Springs near
Quitman or to Green Shade, in
Decatur county. Mr. T. J Bot
toms, of the Coast Line has tak
en the matter up with the pas
senger department of the road
and will advise the committee
as early as possible in regard to
the matter.
Other places off from the rail
road were discussed, but none
were decided upon definately.
The Committee is to meet again
this p. m. for final action in the
matter, but ft is not probable
that the railroad officials will be
heard from before the meeting,
and no action will likely be taken.
The Messenger will give full de
tails of the action of the commit
tee in its next issue.
The editor has received other
nice bouquets of flowers this

nc thing we appreciate more
than flowers unless it is the
good will and esteem of the
givers.

Taking Desperate Chances.
It is true that many contract colds and
recover from themwithout taking any pre
caution or treatment, and a knowledge of
this fact leads others to take their chances
instead of giving their colds the needj
ed attention. It should be borne in mind
that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less able to
withstand eash succeeding cold and paves
the way for more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate chances
when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, fa
mous for its cures of colds, can be had for
a trifle? For. sale by Wight & Browne.
