DEATH OF ED. S. TRoyER. becomes
our mournful task to announce the death
of one of our dearest friends and cotem-
pories. The generous, whole-souled
and warm-hearted Edward S. Trover,
late local editor of the Cairo Democrat,
is no more. He departed this life at
Cairo last week One of the shining
lights of the Western press has been UNI
timely snatched from our midst by the
unmerciful grasp of consumption. His
loss will be felt by host of friends, for
truly it could be said of him" None
knew him but to love him. Hewas full
of the milk of human Kindness, warm
friend, generous foe, and one who never
harbored thought of malice, but judged
the whole world by his own kind nature.
Talented, full of life, yivacious, and with
a vein of that real genuine wit that made
him the admired of all ia company. His
generous soul never knew how to do a
wrong, but his over-good nature often
brought on him troubles, which he suf-
fered patiently but never involved his
friends in. As local editor he had but
few equals in the West; but, as a man is
never a prophet in his own home, his
reputation as a writer was more appre-
ciated abroad than in Cairo. 1t will be
long before the capital of Egypt will have
a writer that will be the peer of Ed. S.
Trover in his own peculiar style. He
has left us like favorite leaf upon a tree,
when it falls in autumn and returns to
mother earth to come to life again in
Heaven. Peace to his ashes
"He was a man take him for all in all,
We shall not look upon his like again.

THE GREAT METRoPoLITAY GIFT SALE
We call the attention of our readers to
an advertisement in another column of
the great Metropolitan gift sale of James
Hutchinson & Co., No. 1871 Broadway,
New York City. They offer an immense
stock of pianos, jewelry, watches, fancy
goods, and any number Of the valuable
articles for sale, for the small amount of
one dollar, according to the choice made
of envelopes, for the articles person is
to get We have it from good authority
that this firm is perfectly reliable, that
they are known for probity and straight
forward business in every transaction.
We have seen several very clever notices
they have received at the hands of first
class Journals in New York State, and
consequently conclude that what they
say may be relied on. The amount to
be invested is small, and there are no
blanks in their envelopes. BY sending
twenty-five cents for a certificate, the
managers will notify the parties writing
what they can obtain for one dollar. The
amount is small, and people desiring to
try their luck in an investment cannot
lose much in their trade, and may get q
handsome bargain. Read their adver-
tisement over carefully, and be your own
Judge in the matter.
