Cairo, H., Jan, O. ls7!,
Editor of the Cairo Bulletin;
Noticed in your paper some time ago
complaint by the colored people of
Cairo, in relation TO the teachers of Their
free schools, which the directors seem to
treat with an air Of unconcern and tn G
people as things that were to be boosted Of
But sir, what was wrong the last week is
wrong this week. My advice is, to get out
an injunction and stop the money that
these directors draw to pay those teachers,
until the colored people are satisfied upon
the subject of tho enforcing of the school
law. Yours Truly,
DEACON WIN. ABERNATHY.

GAS.

HIGH DADDY IN THE MORNING AND EVEN
ING ALL OVER THE CITY ABOUT GAS
AND GERcULD.
The disease most prevalent in the city
at this prcs,n writingis gas On every
street corner, and in every house, one or
more afflicted persons may be found al
engaged in the very pleasant pastime OF
cursing Superintendent Gerould, who
with a mind guiltlcss of oilcnse-strong
in the knowledge of his own untarnished
honesty and ability to count rs
unerringly rs II calculating ma
chine,-pursucs the even tenor
of his way, not caring a cuss whether
school keeps or not. Everybody's gas
bill is "too high" and everybody knows
that screw is loose somewhere, and SO
everybody is asking "what may we do to
reduce our bill 2" Some people say a
gas inspector is the undesirable remedy ;
but we doubt the correctness of this belief.
The better way to remedy the evil-a
dead sure remedy for high gas bills-is
thc usc VI ICES Bhe' ~ h"y W
doubleday is true-that Mr.. Gerould &C.
casionally makes mistakes in counting
the meter but it is not possible that he
would or could charge almost every per.
son in the city for more gas than they con-
sumo. He would not dare to do nOy such
thing. The fact is, more gas was used ~
the city last month than will be used du
ring any month of the present business sea-
son. A great deal of business was done
the month was cloudy, and darkness came
at four and half-past four o'clock; late
hours were kept; gas was used
during all the hours o
darkness and labor and the internal meters
kept knotching the feet used and wors'
still, the gentle Gerould counted every foo
used and multiplied each thousand feet b,
the outrageous 81 so. And SO, everybod.
is cus.ing like a trooper-like our arm,
in Flanders-like a. small boy with
stumped " sore toe In the meantime
Gerould is placid, and is wondering in hi
quiet way what the ID all the fuss
about.
