Messenger makes its appearance
in a new dress, and all home
print. Believing the town of j
Cairo with her rapid growth de- j
serves and will sustain us in keep- j
ing up with the march of prog- j
ress which seems to have taken I
such a marked hold upon this |
community and section, and j
trusting that it will receive the
favorable comment of our read
ers, it is our endeavor to give
all of our patrons their moneys j
worth, and ask the assistance of
all. Since it is impossible to
print local happenings that we
know not of, write or tell us of
it, and we assure you it will be
highly appreciated for it is our
desire to improve the paper from
time to time, as the patronage
of the advertising and reading
public will warrant, and such
assistance will greatly aid us.
For the benefit of our numer
ous readers and those who de
sire to subscribe we will say
that we have made arrange
ments by which we can give you

best weekly papers in the South,
