THE BULLETIN.
The undersigned has purchased the
half.interest heretofore owned by NJ. G.
Saunders in The BuLLrr1n establishment
and will hereafter conduct the business In
his own name. His partner, residing At
Memphis, Tennessee, could not con.
tribute in any way to the prosperity Of
THE BULLETIN, and retires now that the
undersigned may receive all the rewards
his own labors may bring TO
him. and alone bear the bur-
dens his ventures In business may
entail upon him. The partnership, which
has been entirely harmonious, is dissolved
by mutual consent, but with regret, also
mutual, that the interest Of each Of the
partners should render dissolution neces-
sary.
Heretofore the actions Of the undersign-
cd have been somewhat constrained in his
business conduct by desire TO not step
beyond the wishes Of an absent partner
whose interests were at stake with his
own; but now this embarrassment has
been removed, and he will not fail to avail
himself Of the liberty brought to him BY
the consciousness that his own well

an attempt to make The BULLETIN print
ing establishment one Of the most com.
plete in the State. He has already pur-
chased very valuable printing materials
presses and type, and has had built splen-
did steam engine. He may now point to
The BULLETIN Office with some degree
Of pride; but his efforts shall not be re-
Taxed, il the business men and the good
people Of Cairo sustain him by liberal
patronage.
In few days The WEExLr will
be greatly enlarged and improved, and
TIE SUNDAY BULLETIN be made q well

Both these editions Of THE BULLETIN
will receive especial attention, and will be,
We have little doubt, acknowledged by
everybody to be entitled to the support Of

ITTnE FAR.-Asit is generally
known, our second anDual Fair will be
held on next Wednesday, Thursday
aud Friday. The grounds have been
greatly improved since last year. The
stumps with which they were covered
have all been removed and tho grass
closely cut, adding largely to their
general appearance. Much labor has
been expended on the track, and con-
siderable interest already exists
among the owners of fast horses as to
the result of tho races, especially in
regardt to a champion belt purse, confined
to few Of our adjoining counties.
This is a commendablc rivalry, which
should not be allowed to abate; but
from present indications Lewis county
will hardly be abb 10 carry off tho
laurels. There is a probability that
the Directors will raise the second pre-
MUM on sweepstakes, and also on
PAGERS aad hackers.
Quite anumbGr Of new stalls for
cattle aud horses have been erected,
and it is expected that there will be
ample accommodation for all stock en-.
entered.
The entry books Of, the Society arc
now open at the Office of tho Cores.
pouding Secretary. Many entries
have already been made, and it would
be o great accommodation to him ifall
who. intend to make them would do SO
before the Fair.
From tho manifest interest taken in
this, our second Fair, both by its Off
GERS and the citizens Of our county, it
will doubtless DO as great q success as
could possibly be hoped for.

R5 AN ALUM SrRrSG IN WRsTos.-
A few days ago, Judge Irvine, while
strOlliug on some land he owns just at
the edge Of this village, came upon
mineral spring, which afforded q con-
siderable stream Of water, and which,
upOn examination, was found to have
about the same properties as the cello
bruted Bath Alum SpriDgs Of Augusta
county The spring is situated ia a
ravine near the residence Of Mr.. Daw-
son; and has hitherto bean unknown,
except to lot Ofboys, who seemed to
think their discovery a matter of no
importance. Tho locality Of thosp spring
is beautiful ono, naturally; aud
a small amount Of money judiciously
expended, would make tho surround
ings far more romantic and charming
in appearance than tile Springs Of the
Old State Tho curative properties Of
the water have been tested, and arc
much better than had been ANTICIPATED.
The Judge is highly clatcd at his dis
coyery. Weston may yet climb the
hill Of fame as watering placa-whO
knowsl That it may, aud that right
speedily, is the earnest prayer Of this
depOnOnt.
Since writing tho above we learn
that the Judge cOntemplates erecting
building over the Spring, and otherwise
identifying the surroundings.
