THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1904. F. J. WIND, Editor and Proprietor. Published every Friday at Cairo, Thomas county, Georgia. SUBSCRIPTION RATES, ONE YEAR 11.00 SIX MONTHS..... ,50c THREE MONTHS 25 Entered as second-class matter Januuary 21st, 1904 at the post office at Cairo. Ga., under the Act of Congress of March Srd, 1879. Advertising rates reasonable, and furnished upon application. They are begining to describe Senator Fairbanks as “a human refrigerator, »> Let everybody whoop up the Water Works and Electric Lights for Cairo. The big cotton crop which is ex pected this year will put lots of money into circulation. Moultrie, Ga., was visited by quite a blaze last week which did considerable damage. Let everybody get ready and go to the great picnic m Thom asville on September 23rd. After the base ball is over, what will our dailies do for something to tell us about? The Russians will soon real ize that this war they are tending is not merely a pink tea. The Russians are having luck, seem to find the i t Brownies” pretty hard handle. Legislative shortcoming all forgiven now m view of that million dollar appropriate for schools. There may be some bonfires a little higher than Indianola’s after national election, but none will be more heartfelt. Chairman Cowherd of demo cratic congressional convention declares that the democrats were never so assured. 3000 pounds of fish taken from Gils’ Pond says the Moul trie Observer, in trout and bream. Thats fishing some. For handsome stores, especial ly with plate glass fronts, Cairo it seems, is strictly in it these days. It is $5,000 the governor of Georgia receives as a salary now instead of $4,000, which is right and proper and not a cent less wc uld be right for him. It is said that a large nose in dicates a strong character, If this is so, Candidate Henry G. Davis is a man of strong charac ter. The negro question is per haps called the ‘paramount I s * sue,” because it is the hobby up on which Roosevelt mounts of tenest. The “Lincoln republican par ty” wants to nominate Booker Washington for pi esident. The negreos are showing their ingrat itude to Teddy, by organizing several national parties of their own. 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. When Port Arthur falls der how many Georgians will be there to see the sights. Thomasville’s first bale 1904 cotton was received Monday. It was raised by W. F. Outz and weighed 402 pounds. Annoucenments. Thomas County. FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
