OF IOWA.
Seven Per Cent. Gold
First MortgageBOnds,
FREE OF GOVERNMENT TAX,
AT IS and Accrued Interest.

MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PUEMIUM is STILL LARGE (as the
Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil
lions in December) AND REINVEST IN THE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is ayhile the Treasury is
buying, and Governments are at premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar e traffic as soon as com
pleted.
1t runs through the great coal fields of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of N. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
ly half the amount upon some other roads.
Special security is provided for the principal
and for the payment of interest.
The New York tribune says "this is splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
aid"
The New York Independent says, eve know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. TIE truth is. that First Mortgage OF
$4,000 per mile upon a road running through
such a country cannot be otherwise than safe"
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through such rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. Pamphlets, with map,
may be obtained, and subscriptions will be

CHURCH or THE REDEExER.

The adoption, by the Church of the Re-
deemcr, of the envelope system is intended
to obviatc the objections urged by some to
the renting of pews.
Instead of u fixed price for each pew a
pledge is given for the payment of II week.
ly sum (Which is voluntary oiiering) and
apew or sitting in pew is assigned each
family or individual.
Many persons heretofore have deprived
themselves of the pleasure of attending
service feeling ii not entirely right to oc-
cupy seat in the church without paying
while they really were not able to pay for
apcw.
This system entirely does away with
this objection, for the person who feels able
to make small weekly donation will hav,
seat assigned them as cbecrfully as Il
they felt able TO make the donation large
All persons coming to church regularly
or transicntly whether they make q
pledge or mott may feel sure Of being seat

fence to the regular attendants. st.

SECOND ANNUAL TOBACCO
FAIR.
CASH PREMIUMS. 81, 900 IN COL u.

The advertisement of the Planters
Tobacco Warehouse company will not
fail to command the attention of our
readers.
1t will be seen that the company will
hold their second annual fair on the 9th
day of June next, on which occasion they
will distribute, as premiums, OSE Tnous-
AND DOLLARS IN GOLD.
This liberality on the part of the COM
pany will not be lost on the
planters of the country, who,
knowing the gentlemen composing the
company, know the premiums are bona
fde, and will be honestly and fairly
awarded.
The success that has attended the trans.
actions of the company has no parallel
in the history of western tobacco markets
, and points to the no very distant period
when Cairo will be the largest, as il is al.
ready the best market accessible to tho
planters of the Southwest. Read the adj
vertisement.

TEMPERANCE LECTURES.

G. n. Jones, the Grand Scribe of the
Sons of Temperance of Illinois, and Mr..
NJ. II. Pogson, Of England, will address the
temperance organizations and Young
Mems Christian Association, of this city,
on the subject Of temperance-the first
lecture to bedclivered in the Athencum

the second lecture in the NJ. T.. Church, on
Sunday, evening the 9Th inst. Every
body is invited. Seats free.
Mr.. Jones is well known rs one of the
best temperance lecturers of illinois. Per-
sons who have hcaad Mr.. Pogson pro-
nounce him the equal of the renowned
John Is. Gough-a most eloquent, effective
and stirring orator, Unexpectedly cn,huses
every community he addresses. Mr.. Z.
recently delivered n lecture in Carbonate,
and the citizens Of that town declare that
he has no superior. They were delighted,
and commend him in the warmest and
most enthusiastic terms to the people of
Cairo. As tirst-class lecturers rarely visit
our city, ii may reasonably be expected
that Mr.. Z. will call out an overlooking
house. Remember the times and places,
and attend.

AVERY PORTUxATE ESCAPE.

made foolish display of the large sum of
money about his person, may thank his
stars that the honesty ofthe people of Cairo,
like the virtue Of Caesars wife, is above
suspicion. That he does not recollect ex-

dollars in greenbacks, that he does not rec

An IMPORTANT HINT.

Al least II portion of our citizens under
stand the value of printing ink. They
know that If they have house, lot or
farm for sale or rent, they can give the
fact the widest possible publicity by ad-
vertising. The well displayed advertising
columns ofthe BULLETIN are always read.
They are possessed of more or less interest
TO all, and local readers search out the new
advertisements before reading any other
part of the paper No money is so sure
to bring large returns as that invested in
advertising. This has been demonstrated
hundred times by the shrewd and enter
prising business men Of Cairo-by bust
ness men everywhere.
Look at the princely fortunes Of patent
medicine men. The great agency used in
their acquisition was judicious and constant
advertising A single additional bidder
on one article will pay all costs to sdver-
tise sale of personal property. Is it not
strange then that any man should fail to
benefit himself so largely by the outlay Of
few dollars2 Our friends not only in
Cairo, but throughout the country should
reflect and ponder over these truths; they
are sound and practical. Try the expert
ment, and our word for II, you will be
benefited as well as the printer.
The advertising rates of the BuLLETiN
are SO low, that no business man can hest
tate about availing himself of the use of It's
columns on account Of the expense. The
cost Is really trihing.

THE COMING RAILROAD ELECTION.

| Only about two weeks intervene between
the present time and the day fixed for the
vote on the proposition to subscribe $780,
| 600 in aid of the junction railroad project.
| What are the friends of the proposition
doing2 That the proposition will be de.
cided aflirmatively in almost any conting-
ency, is confidently counted upon but
this consideration should not beget inaction
and Indifference There should be large
and overwhelming affirmative vote. The
subscription should have the prestige or
moral force Of an Endorsement by an un-
questionable majority of all the voters of
the city. There should full expression
of the popular will on the subject; but
this object will certainly not be attained
unless the friends of the project, from this
time forth bestir themselves. There

of the road upon the business interests
of the city, should address the people.

railroad does for the town Of Columbus

from that source the Junction railroad
will do for Cairo. Contemplate that re-
suit, and the further fact that the con-
structon ofthe road will open up through
Cairo the best and shortest line Of trade
and travel between the great Southwest and
Northeast that can possibly be provided,
and the 100000, which the company ask
that the next generation shall pay to them,
