FISHER.

1t 10 a well-known fact In this com.
munity that we have not been an admirer
of Dir. George Fisher-that in the polit-
icsl canvssses OF the past, We hated him
and he hated u. We were not then ac-
quain,ed with George, snd--an honest
confession is good ior the soul-we were
prujudiced against him. Led by this
prejudice we fell into the belief that he
was about IS mean y man rs we then
thought Pope to DO, and the Lord knows
we then believed that Pope was as bad a.
the devil could wish and not whit inorc
difficult TO damn than 10 to bring to land
a late-hookcd FISH. But now we feel like
making repHation. We have become &C
qusiated with Fisher, as well as with Pope
and have learned to like him because we
| have come to believe that he 10 good
man in every sense of that term. The
only reproach We can conscientously
lay At his door is "Radicalism,' and that
10 90 lesycnod with the lesven of granger
ism that it is no longer dangerous.
Mr. Fisher 10 . candidate for county
commissioner, and We hope and expect he
will be elected. He has every quslifcs-
ton for the position, and will
be, if he should secure hi. cleo
ion, valuable officer to the
county, Industrious, honest and saga
cious. He has full appreciation OF the
wants OF the county and will not neglec,
to give to them proper and promp, a,ten.
ton. The people Of Cairo and Of the
country precincts Should not hesitate to
give Mr.. Fisher their suffrsges He is the
man they need in the board Of county
commissioners.

We regret to observe that our friend,
the editor of the Sun, has fallen victim
TO the infdel contsgion prevailing in this
community. Wo weep while we inform
the public that we fear he has become

He yielded TO the influence Of this weird
wizard Of unbeliet with reluctance, but he
yielded, aud hA. become q most ardent fol-
lower in the footsteps of this man whose
path leads to-no-where! So, thorough
has become his conversion that he has
actually induced Mr.. Denton TO challenge
the whole Christian world to prove that
any prophecy has been fulfilled We are
amazed
All but these are evil days into which
We have fallen, days full Of doubt and al.
together wicked. Well has it been said
tina. we come up like the sparrow grass
and fall like the hopper grass, and that @
white man is rcry uncertain. Only few
short hours since, and Mr.. Davis believed
that the whale swallowed Jonah, but now
alas he don't believe that pleasant littl,
| fiction NJ all, and is almost convinced thai
there never lived such man az Jonah
and that the fish was not q whale
A little while ago Mr.. Davis believed
the entertaining romance about Sampson
and the Jaw bone OF an ass the Red Sc.

still when Gen. Joshua requested it to dc
so in order that be might butcher . few

plan 10, when there is a possibility or
probability Of the introduction Of any
epidemic disease into the city 10 prepare
for it in season. AS In the few cases OF
yellow fever which were developed in the
city some weeks since, il is on, of the
power OF our city authorities or OF citi-
1ens individually 10 prevent disease to a
certain extent. The duty of authorities and
OF citizens is TO prevent its becoming cpl.
deinic and that this may be done has fortu.
nately been proven. Now al the risk
Of being called alarmists and
OF calling down upon our
head the Indignation of these
who believe it bad policy TO men-
ton such things in the public press, We
fee called upon to say tina, we believe the
cold weather will bring us a visitation of
the smallpox, which will be light or
heavy, according to our preparations for it.
The smallpox is now in ~. Louis, and
there is good reason to believe that among
the Affections Memphis is now suffering,
smallpox may he numbered. Above
US and below us, even tho most extraor-
binary care will not cave Cairo from be-
ing the laying up place Of foreign cases
and through such is the disease commune
Gated 10 the families Of the residen, pop
ulAtion. If our city authorities will
be wise in time, they may do much toward
protecting the city from the fearful con-
sequnoes Of The presence Of this disease
The city of New Orleans in the way of
sanitary regulations and their beneficial
effects, is an example to other cities, large
and small, 1t is already taking steps to
prevent the spread OF smallpox, past eI-
perienco having demonstrated that such
measures cannot be made too early. In a
late communication to the mayor by the
board of health, we fnd the following re-
commentator, with reminder that sac.
ton, to have the best success, both santa.
ry and pecunisry, should be immediate %
1t recommends, at this time, that tie city
be divided into districts Of suitable size, d
proper number Of physicians DO appointed
an ample sspply of vaccine be secured
and that vaccination DO offered at ever,
house and urged upon tho ignorant suc
neg ligcnt by the authorized agents Of tn,

Now We believed similar plan il

be followed, and arc prepared TO bes
all the objections TO this manor Of put
, ting the city 10 good condition to resis
contsgion, on the score Of the e1pens
and the uncertainty that there will b,
any necessity for it. Expensive it woulC
be, but if We have An epidemic of small
pox, the city will have to take care OF it,
poor, and the sorrow, distress and mourn
ing which will follow in its wake
and the injury to the citys business, will
not DO computable in dollars and cents.
