A SMALL CHANGE.
With this issue of the Cairo
Messenger I assume full charge,
having purchased the interest
of Mr. E. G. Kolbie in the busi
ness. In taking the entire man
agement of the business, I do
so, feeling confident of securing
the aid and support of the busi
ness men of the city, for it will
be our entire aim to work for
the prosperity and up building
of Cairo and this section of
Thomas county especially, and
for the good of the county gen
erally.
Thanking you, one and all,
for the favors shown the Mes
senger in the past and. solicit
ing your hearty co-opperation
and support in the future I am,
Yours truly,
F. J. Wind.
ADIEU.
As the above notice informs
the public. I have sold my entire
interest in the Cairo Messenger
to Mr. F. J. Wind. In ‘retiring
from the newspaper field I do
so with the best of feelings fo'
the hospitable citizens of Cairo
and Thomas county, and be
speak for Mr. Wind a liberal
share of the public patronage,
both in subscriptions and ad
vertising. Cairo is a growing
town and with the help of such
a paper as the Messenger now is
and can be made, with the right
kind of support, the town can
be made to forge ahead with
wonderful strides.
Hoping that the present pro
prietor’s every efforts may be
crowned with success, and that
the Messenger will find a
welcome at every fireside in
Cairo and Thomas county, I bid
you all adieu.
E. G. Kolbie.
Spiders That Form Colonies.
As everybody knows, spiders
usually fight to the end if one
happens to enter the web ot an
other. Yet there are spiders
that live together in peace. In
South America one variety of
spider forms colonies of several
hundred members. These builc
a joint nest almost as big as a
hat. It hangs from high branch
es, and a silken stran, some
times ninety feet long, dangles
from its lower end to serve as a
ladder for the inmates. In Ven
ezuela there is a spider which
joins with hundreds af others
in the manufactory of a giant
web. Often they weave a web
big enough to cover a whole cof
fee shrub. Inside this web is
divided into cells, and the spi
ders not only agree perfectly,
but often help each other kil
particularly large insects.
It is with pleasure that the
Messenger notes the good
cess which Mr. Chester E,
son, a citizen of Quitma n, has
recently attained. He has
cently been licensed to preach
in the Florida conference. The
Messenger congratulates Mr.
Johnson and wish him unbounc
ed success in his chosen
ion.
