A FED Of CIO'S
Below we publish a few of
the different lines of business
carried on in the town of Cairo
and by whom. While they are
all doing a lucrative business,
the writer would modestly sug
gest a concert of action and all
pull together an secure a good
system of water works, so that,
in case our places of business
should be attacked by fire we
would be much better able to
cope with it. This is something
that we think is the duty of ev
ery one:

There are several lines of busi

are lawyers, doctors, dentists,
artists, telegraph, telephone, ex
press,wood workmen, black
smiths, dray men, etc., to say
nothing of restaurants, hotels
and the n^iny up-to-date private
boarding houses. Of course
the list would not be complete
without the last two named es
sentials : Postoffice and The
Cairo Messenger.

Epworth League Social.
The social meeting of the Cai
ro Epworth League held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Wight Tuesbay night
was indeed an enjoyable occa
sion. Mrs. Eugene Clower re
ceived the guests and in a gra
cious manner peculiarly her own wel
made each and everyone
come. After the literary de
partment of the League, the
guests were led into the rendi
tion of a very interesting and
pleasant program of literary stu
dy and discussion, pleasantly in
terspersed with excellent music
and amusing games. Mr. J. T.
Chambers with his cornet, Mr.
Geo. Wight with his violin with
Mrs. F. M. Brannon at the piano,
formed an orchestra to furnish
delightful music for the occa
sion. At a late hour the guests
reluctantly bade their hostess a
kindly good-night and expressed
their appreciation of a most en
joyable evening.

The following article, clipped
from our esteemed contempora
ry, the Times-Enterprise, is in
reply to an article which ap
peared in the columns of the
Messenger last week. It seems
that one of our correspondents
who 'figns his name “Uncle
Jake,” has “writ” something
that the editor of the ‘T.-E.’ did
not relish, hence the “howl.”
Of course, he is “our friend;”
he says he is; his article shows
it; the tone of it proves it. We
are “his friend,” too; “we are
trying to write this article to
show it; becanse we can't be
anything but a “friend” to our
friend.” But, say, “friend of
mine,” remember, it is the “hit
dog that howls,” so keep quiet.
We are not “howling,” but—
simply amusing ourselves by
making suggestions. See! Tata.
4 . We are surprised that our
friend, Editor Wind should give
space to such an attack on a paper
whose editors have never lost a
chance to show their friendship
for him, both editorially and per
sonally. Only the week before, he
published an attack on one of
Thomas county’s best officials
from the same misguided “Uncle
Jake.” Does Mr. Wind intend to
turn his paper into a mouth piece
for his annovmous contributor?
If so, he is departing from the
standard of newspaper ethics and
the path marked out for himself
when he first took charge of the
Messenger. ■ i

of Whigham were the guest of
