"A sabbath school meeting having been |

folks have arranged for dance at the st.

that would have comfortably provided for
the little ones for period Of two or three
months.
Mr.. A. II. Irwin is making thorough
tour Of the country precincts, and feels
greatly encouraged at the prospect. He
Il undoubtedly the best man the DEM
ocracy could have selected as their candi-
date for the office of Sheriff. His superior
qualifications are acknowledged by every
body, and nobody questions his honesty,
industry and personal integrity. A num-
Der Of our most substantial Republican
citizens nvow their purpose to vote for him,
and on all sides his election is regarded as
a "fxed fact "forgono conclusion
Almost any young man in Cairo, and
at least one-half of our boys, cahplace one
dollar per week in the Enterprise Savings
Bank. II they would do so, the result
would be that in ten years they would have
$704 IS there to their credit, in twenty
years the sum of sl917 ~, and in thirty
years $4,277 81. Thus it will be seen that
every ten-ycar old boy, who will from this
time forth put one dollar per week
in the Savings Bank, will be enabled,
when he Is forty years Of age, to draw
. sum thercfrom that will enable him
TO enter into the mercantile business or to
buy him well-stocked farm.

The passage Of the resolution extending
the time for the completion Of the Cairo
and Vincenncs Railroad, by n unanimous
vote Of Our City Council, Is nh act that
meets the hearty Endorsement of the citi.
Gems Of Cairo. The amendment, 10 the
effect that the railroad company shall pay
all debts II hes contracted or that IL may
contract with the citizens prior to January,
1871, 10 . Saving clause that was insisted
upon by some Of the members Of the
Council, that nigh; have been left off; but
il will not, perhaps, do any harm. Tho
railroad company IL not in debt
to the citizens Of Cairo, and, con-
sequcntly, the amendment has little
other effect than to show dis
trust Of tho company. The company is in
dobt to Messrs. Dodge, Lord X Co, con-
tractors, and Messrs. ID. l.. & Co. owe sun
dry amounts TO our merchants, teamsters
and others; but ss they (Mcssrs. ID. l.. n
Coz are not citizens Of Cairo, the amend.
ment does not apply to them.
As there's, now, no obstacle In the way
of a resumption of work, at least ON this
end If the line, We shall expect to zee u
/ commencement made, At least during the
| present Fall. We have never for a
| moment doubted the ultimate completion
Of the road, Lat We have with others, been
disappointed by the frequent delays, etc
Thar GAMg-A letter from our friend
Martin, Of the Charleston CoHrior-some-
what delayed in its arrival-furnishes us
the following facts concerning the return
game Of base ball between the Delta and
Charleston boys, played on Monday last
1.-THE Charleston boys owe the favorable
result Of the game to the fact that they
were in the right trim for batting--oul
captain and catcher making ~ runs, while
last week, in the Cairo game, he Tailed
only two. We also had another strong
batter, who played third basemsn equal tc
your Broderick's first.
Thatcher got hurt on the third inning
aud had to resire. Pete Saup took hi
place--a COED substitute, notwithstand
ing that he failed To add mucl
to the score sheet. Mace proved an cx
cellent substitute also but was not as effect
ive'on.third base as Slack would have been
Mace showed himselfa better pitcher thai
Thatcher. When Saup came in he played
catcher, and Hough went TO the shori-stop
Foley and Broderick did some fine bat
ung--making two home runs
l "The boys were prevailed upon TO re-
main over night, and II dance was gotten
! for their entertainment. Joe Courtwny
. OF the Whitcomb hotel, although taken by
surprise, provided for the boys most hand
