The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-05-30


before Judge Bross yesterday, and frankly
acknowledged that Cairo whisky was
rather too strong for his weak and nervous
system. He was requested to loan the city
81 and costs Of collecting, but declared
he couldn't see II. Six days for non-com-
pliance.
Henry Durklin was brought before the
same dignitary, charged with allowing
slops Of nsuseous liquors TO flow from of
his premises on to the adjoining lots. Case
dismissed.
Michael Calvin, charged with assault
and battery on the person Of Mrs. Beating,
was convicted, and mulct in the sum of
s25 and costs, all of which he forked over
like little man.
Pat Down was up for being SHOWN"
in the gutter--or il not there, was in
possession Of all the elements TO place him
there, and assessed 81 and trimmings.
Having forgotten to bring his portmonia
with him he was sent to limbo for Z days.
Now, THAT doubts are removed from the
minds of even tho most skeptical as to the
present stability and future greatness Of
our city, we must not like many Of our
sister towns and cities, fall into the fatal
error Of expecting too much from abroad,
and lying comparatively still and inactive
at home. Activity and enterprise Ut home
attracts attention and capital abroad. We
should never for moment allow ourselves
to forget that our progress is anxiously
watched and waited for by men of large
means, and men whose influence, welded
in our behalf, would be of ipcalculable
benefit.
Whenever such men become satisfied Of
our determination, as a city, to build up =
commercial mart that will rank second to
none in the State in defiance of all oppo-
sition, capital will as naturally flow to our
assistance AS the waters Of the two mighty
rivers upon which we are situated flew
down stream. We shall make mention
through the BULLETIN, from time 10 time.
of the much needed institutions in eur
city, and which, itbuilt up and carried
into successful operation, will not only add
much to its intrinsic value but in time
yield handsome remuner alton to the
operators.
1t seems to us that there could be no
better investment made just now, nor one
tina. would be of more general utility to
the community at large than the organiza'
ton and practical operation o.
a Building Association. w,
have neither time nor space 10
enumerate the benefits TO be derived from
this much needed, and we may almost sa,
absolutely necessary institution, but W,
shall endeavor to show at least the imIor
lance of it. There is not day in thu
week-hardly an hour in the dxy-but WI
hear of applications for tenement houses
Hundreds of men-mechsnics, lsborinl
men, men who have capital enough TO in

ness, and whose means would all be alb
sorbed were they compelled to build,-ar'
coming IN upon US every day, and thos'
who are fortunate enough to find vacan
houses remain, while the unsuccessful
ones are compelled to seek other fields fol
the employment Of their capital and labor
And then, in many cases, 1t becomes ar
act of charity, in its proper sense, to have
good tenement houses for occupancy BY
those who are destitute Of available means
but who have strong hands and willing
hearts, and are ready TO avail themselve
Of any opportunity to "turn an homes
penny Will some one take this matter
IN hand?
Other cities have similar societies In sue

beneficial in every sense, and would, NJ
doubt, prove SO here If properly con
