One of the largest funeral trsint that
ever left our city, was that which con.

coaches and the baggage car formed the
train, and all of these were filed to reple.
ton with men, women aud children.

long one, but ~ being made safely and
rapidly.
We are glad to learn that Mr. John
Hamilton Is much better to-day, and
that all approximations of a fatal terniins.
ton in his case, have been dissipated.
He will probably be conflned To his bed
aperiod 81 eight or ten days yet, but his
z. complete recovery is regarded ~ certain.
Mr.. John w. Trover was thrown from
his buggy to-day, but; fortunately, es.
capped any rious injury. His arr, was
strained and somewhat bruised, aud, it
Is quite prot able that he was shaken up
pretty generally, but, as We have said,
his injuries were not serious. HE son

a scratch.
The city council OF Psducah have
ordered the Submission OF the question
10 the voters Of the city, whether the cor
poration shall subscribe $1,000 per nli,e To-
four gravel roads penetrating different
sections OF The surrounding country.
There was only one vote in the council
recorded against the proposition, and
the Herald predicts that the subscrtpt-
ION will be voted by n large majority.
We earnestly hope that such will be the
result, for without prosperous surround-
ings the prosperity Of Cairo can be nei,h-
er permanent nor healthy.
The government is erecting In tais

The position ought 10 be filled by an in
telligent colored mal, and not by any Of |
the white loafers who accept such posi- |
lions, not so much on account ofthe fixed |
salary as the amount the position will |
enable them 10 steal The Rev. Mr.. |
strother, for instance, would NH the po-

The Paducah HERALD copied our last |
wee ks quotation OF wheat, and expressed |
the belief that No. / white wheat was
not ruling at I50GI8i per bushel, as
quoted by us,
The quotations had reference 10 old |
wheat, and for a strictly prime article. |
We are Of the opinion that the figures,
when published by Us, We're correct. At |
all events they were furnished by a re |
porter who makes commercial matters |
a speciality.
Most OF the wheat now coming into |
market is in bad condition. For this rea.
son we find 1t unsafe 10 give any figures |
at all. We are inclined to think, how
ever, that strictly choice old white wheat
would command 81 so; and other grades,
new and old, from 80 cents to ST. 80.
Our Mr. Hagey is the recipient of a
magnificent boquet, very large, very fra
grant and most artistcally formed, from
the hands of Metropolis miss, whose
name we do not give, for the sufficient
reason that we do not know IL The bo-
quet is really beautiful, aud the stories

the most precious scraps from feast of

good discrimination. Hagey is happy.

and he is silent, dreamy.
Should the entire mail edition Of the
Bulletin go to Metropolis to-day,
charge the blunder to the fact that the
mail list is in Hagey's hands, and that
since the receipt Of the boquet he is con-
fident there Is only one place In the
world and that place is Metropolis
