This Is the season Of bills, iestivaIs,
parties. etc. but the ball and supper to
be given by the Cairo Turner society on
next Friday evening New Years eve
will be by far the grandcst affair OF the
kind of the season. Nothing that will
tend to make the affair success will be
left undone. The various committees are
devoting their entire tme and attention
to the work In hand, ald are proving by
their acts that they know just what
they are doing. The ball will be held In
their new hall at the dprner OF Tenth and
Poplar streets. Remember the Turner's.
The concert last tight at the African
Methodist church on Eighteenth between
Walnut and Cedar sheets was attended
by very large audience. Madame
Bailer Of Chicago. AMI Miss Banks of st.
Louis were the principal attractions, the
former fine OPERATE singer and the lat
ter presiding at the piano. Madame Baler
certainly stands head and shoulders with
the best of operate singers, aud surpasses
anything we have heard in Cairo. Miss
Banks performance on the piano was
excellent, and gave sufficient proof that
she is no novice In the business. The
concert will be- repeated tonight, when
another large audience will undoubtedly
be present. Admission twenty-five cents.

words "n0t guilty" had scarcely escaped
the clerks lips, when Davis stepped out
side the bar, said "thank you. gentle
men," to the jury, left the court house
and has not since been seen or heard of. |
Davis had learned that the authorities Of |
Shelby county, Indiana. wanted him
there to answer charge OF murder. He

unknown.
The many friends in this city OF Dr.
L. l.. Williams will read with regret the
Of his sudden, and to his
family and friends, unexpected death,
which occurred in st. Louis on Thurs
day morning, 23d inst. For more than
year the doctor had been suffering from
a disease of a peculiar character, and at
the time of his death was under the treat
ment of the celebrated DR.. johnson OF
st. Louis, who considered his recovery
certain. A short time ago he was taken
down with an attack OF malarial fever
and pneumonia, from which he died as
above stated. In his profess
sion, that of dentist, DR..
Williams had won Tor himself a
reputation second TO no other doctor in
this part of the country lie had built
up an extensive and lucrative practice in
Cairo and vicinity, and long and sue
ccssful career seemed to open up before
him. But all was changed in moment
by the relentless hand that sooner or later
will be laid OH all animate life. He leaves
a wife whose devotion never permitted
her to leave his side night or day during
his sickness, and who is now entitled to
our deepest sympathy. His remains were
inferred in Bethel cemetery near Belle
vile, OH the 9th inst.
