lerprse of this character being almost

those. who, whether from choiCe o, ne.

in the welfare and prosperity of the town.
These views seem 10 be entertained by
the trustees Of the Cairo property, az will
be seen by their circular, which Is now
being circulated lhroughou Illinois. The
success of Cairo is necessarily identified
with the completion OF ,'e Central Rail
road, which is the srogesi guarantee
that this road will be mae a part Of the
contemplated improvements contested
