The attention of our readers
is called to the statements pub

the Citizens Bank and the Cairo
Banking Co. Both of these in

upon the community. They
are both owned and controlled
by local capital, and we do not
believe there is another town in
Georgia of this size that can
boast of two such banks.

Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, of Merrimae Fame,will
lecture in Thomasville on Tues
day, April 4th. Capt.Hobson is
probably the best known lect
urer in the South. He is not
only a fighter by nature, but
| the Old Mother endowed him
with a talent for oratory as
well.
The story of how Capt. Hob
son sunk the Merrimae in the
harbor of Santiago, thereby per
forming the most spectacular
feat of the entire Spanish-Ameri
can war, is familiar to almost
everyone. It will be remem
bered that he braved death at
the hands of the Spaniards and
' was captured. He laid in pris
on at Santiago for a long time,
but finally, with his health
j largely gone, was turned loose.
Capt. Hobson has been on
the lecture platform for several
years, and those who have heard
him say that he displays a
knowledge of current events
unequaled by almost no One in
the South. He speaks with
especial interest along the topics
of the day. His views regard
lag the results of the Russo
Japanese war amount almost to
prophesies. His lecture is full
of interest as well as facts and |
is not one of the kind that it is j
so dry you can hear it rattle,
Capt. Hobson appears at the i
Opera House in Thomasville
under the auspices of Young’s
Female College there and a
large crowed of Cairo people will
probably go over to hear him.
A CARD.
Editor Cairo Messenger: We
desire tnus to thank the good
people of Cairo for their tender
and substantial kindness to our
stricken family during the ill
ness and death of our dear
child, Susie. Of her intense
suffering we need not speak.
She suffered, and patiently,unto
death. Attending physicians
and sympathetic friends did all
possible for her restoration, but
<< death entered and there was
no defense.”
May our heavenly Father bless
all who ministered to our neces
sities and comforts, and gra
ciously reward them for all they
have done! We shall ever hold
your dear people in fondest rA
memberance.
Gratefully yours,
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Frierson.

That is the question ; wheth
er 'tis nobler to cut loose from
a crowd of Republicans tn
Thomas County, which name
we have been keeping from dis
grace for many years by lend
ing our vote to keep them in
the Democratic column; or to
remain with old Thomas and
run the risk of the Republicans
in the Dalance of the county
outnumbering us in a few years,
and thereby dragging us down
with a crowd of Republicans—
blue-bellies and negroes.
In the name of all that’s good,
give us Grady County. Don’t
you say so?
We are sweetly dreaming of
Grady County, and we have
good reasons to believe that our
dreqms will be realized before
the year 1905 shall have been
rolled back into the past, not
t
withstanding what Messrs. Wil
son Hardy, Jack McCartney,
Wyche Linton and George
Chestnut may say and do to the
contrary.
These men seem to realize
that Cairo is a great power in
polities, and this being the
case, gives us good reasons to
believe that we will be success
ful in getting the New County.
Whigliatn, too,' fears the
power of Cairo and opposes the
New County for fear that when
Grady County is formed that
their devilsh dispensary will be
wiped off the face of the earth.
They will tell you, too, that
the merchants of Cairo will go
up on the price of thefr goods
in order to defray expenses of
getting the New County.
We brand that as a black
lie.
We guarantee that we will
charge not a penny more profit
on our goods than we have been
charging.
We will also do our level best
towards keeping up Cairo’s rep
utation for being the best
market in the County for all
kinds of produce raised by our
farmer friends.
We expect to maintain our
reputation for buying more
chickens and eggs than any
one firm in Thomas or Decatur
county. If you doubt it, we
will gladly compare our ship
ping records with any other firm
in either county.
We will continue to do busi
ness on the “Live and Let
Live” plan—giving full weight
and measure, and value re
ceived for every dollar and
penny spent at our store.
Yours for Grady County,
