1t was an instance Of thi. kind that a
little girl not above thirteen years Of age

mother having died in Pulaski county
when she was about 81, years old, and
since that time she has lived and worked
in different parts of that county. About
four months ago she went

have to do any hard work, and always
have plenty of money. This was sll worry
nice in the eyes Of the unsuspec.ing
creature, and she concluded TO come to
Cairo Al once. She arrived IN town on
Monday afternoon, and Immediately
started to find the house Of a certain lewd
woman, who is known to everybody
in the city. Passing down Commercial
avenue, che approached the lady above
referred to, who was standing in the door.
