ter in CAIRO nay, in Alexander county,
who is ready to encourage the establish

Cairo democrats, like those of Egypt
generally, are sensible and progressive.
THE Chicago Times has disappeared
from the counters of one of our leading
news-denlers altogether. Two or three

the Eleventh and Thirteenth street school
houses. As most Of the ratings are gone,
and the remaining ones much decayed,

mary figure.
