Salutatory.
In assuming an interest in the
Cairo Messenger, I have few
promises to make, as I prefer to
let future deeds rather than
present words speak for me.
Cairo is the best town in the
county and I shall do my best
to make the Messenger a paper
worthy of the town, If hard
work and earnest effort can
bring this about it will certainly
come to pass.
1 have had considerable expe
rience in the newspaper busi
ness, and shall put it all into
practice for the Messenger. I
can do nothing without the aid
and support of the people of the
community. This I respect
fully solicit and hope to receive.
Backed by it, the paper will
soon speak for itself, and will
be a power for the advancement
of Cairo and its vicinity.
Respectfully,
F. j. Wind.
Down and Out.
With last week’s issue, my
connection with the Messenger
in a financial way . was termi
nated, Mr. F. J. Wind, a well
known and worthy citizen of
Thomasville having purchased
an interest in the publication.
And before retiring it is becom
ing and right that I should ex
press thanks and appreciation
upon the part of the past man
agement to the people of the
city and section who have given
ns so much aid and encourage
ment in establishing the little
paper. Looking back over a
period of twelve years and the
establishment of several
papers, I can
say that it has never been
good fortune to cast my
among a cleverer, more
or accommodating set of
than here at Cairo and
much I value their esteem
friendship is beyond my
to say, For the present at
I shall not cut loose
from the environments of
old life, but shall assist my su
cessors in the work of
the Messenger brighter
newsier than ever. In
ion I ask for them a
of past favors.
