>'OU I-
\ Rotten Game.
The party returnm *5 cr from Pel
ham last night brought an ugly
story. The game went against
Giiro b y a score of 6 to 4 ’ but
he boys state that the score
•as entirely unjust .and void of
A
fairness. They say tnat first of
Li the team they went up
Uuainst was the pick of Camilla
!, lIld Pelham with Emmet Mc
U fee of Smithville in the box,
but even then had the umpire
[been fair the game would have
ibeen theirs by a good round
score. It is claimed that the
umpire, who was furnished by
Pelham, had money at stake on
the game, J udging from the
expressions on the streets this
morning the bovs were not well
treated by any means. How
ev r er this may be we are glad to
remember that when Pelham’s
team came here Cairo enter
tained them nicely. Cairo is
still open for clean baseball
though and other games will be
| [citizens arranged shortly. Some of the
of Pelham, we learn,
were nice indeed to the team
and we do not intend them any
injustice by this article but
merely give the news as we get
it.
The Picnic.
While we are putting the
last pages of the Messenger to
press the citizens are making
the final arrangements for the
Sunday School picnic to be held
at the Walden bridge on the
Ochlocknee river tomorrow,
Thursday, From present indi
cations a large crowd will go
down and a big time is antici
pated. Members of the refresh
ment committees have been at
work this week and a sufficient
sum has been raised to provide
iced refreshments for all. All
of the available teams in the
city j and surrouning vieinity
have been pressed into service
and it is now thought that a wa]
will be prepared ^for all who
wish to go.
Baptist Protract Meeting.
Protracted services were begun
at the Baptist church in tli is city
last Sunday. Rev. White has
been filling the pulpit at two ser
vices daily all of this week though
Rev. Rushin of Boston was ex
peeled over the first of the week
to assist in the good work. A
letter received from him Tuesday
stated that business in Macon
would likely prevent his
this week, but. his many
friends and admirers here
ly hope that he may yet come be
fore the meeting closes, The
vices are held at 4p. m. and 8 p.
W. daily and everybody is
ted to attend.
Miss Elizabeth McCord left
Tuesday for her home at
l°n to spend the vacation.
McCord has hosts of friends
who will like to see her return
f °r the fall term.

CAIRO VISITORS.
Team and Enthusiastic Sup= |
porters Here on Way to j
Pelham.
Our neighboring city, Cairo,
is a town that does things, and
does them with a whole heart.
They have a good base-ball team
and support it in a splendid
manner.
Thursday was a general holi
day in that town. A large per
centage of the population went
to the Sunday School picnic at
Walden’s br-dgc. A party of
forty visited Pelham in company
wUh the base ball team. They
arrived on the 6:15 a. m. tram,;
and . went , on to , n Pelham ,, at 9:25.!
The young peoole created much ap-| |
favorable comment by their
pearance and actions while here,
Each member of the team wore
a white hat and all were adorn
ed with red and white ribbons.
The presence of a number of
ladies added grace and beauty
to the party.
Among those in the party be
sides the team were Prof, and
Mrs. W. H. Searcy, Mr. and
Mrs. E. G. Kolbie, Mr. and Mrs.
Jas. L. Mauldin, and J. L. Maul

School Closes.
The spring term of Giiro High
School was brought to a close
last Thursday. With the excep
tion of the examinations there
were no closing exercises. On the
last day the children were the re
cipients of a nice treat from Prof.
Searcy in the shape of an abun
dance of delightful lemonade.
The past session of the school
has been a very successful one and
the average attendance lias been
better than for many years past.
The enrollment has reached the
two hundred mark and the aver
age attendance for the term was
somewhere about 150 pupils.
’1 here is no earthly reason w hy
Cairo should not have a model
school and when a new building
is erected we believe it will be
among the best in the section.
Let every one take an interest in
the matter and let’s push our
school square to the front.
Whooping Cough.
“In the spring of 1901 my children had
whooping cough,” says Mrs. D. W. Capps
of Capps, Ala. I used
Cough Remedy with the most satisfactory
results. I think this is the best remedy
I have ever seen for whooping cough.”
Tlis remedy keeps the cough loose, les
sens the severity and frequentcy of the
coughing spells and counteracts any ten
dency toward pneumonia. For sale by
