Old "Mose" was engaged in fishing

Another week for present of ten
yards OF calico, to those who buy seven
dollars worth of dry good at Hebron &
Wells.
The picture man, who sold ut Hart
mans new store, on Sixth street, Thurs
day night, got rid Of all his goods but
six clromos. Poor as we are, and al
though the Internal Radical party has
contracted all the money out Of the hands
Of the people, we, the people Of Cairo,
buy pictures. We are people who boast
good taste, and good taste manifests itself
In love of pictures, even II they are
chromos.
Remember the grand ball OF the An
Gent Order Of Hibernians at Scllcel's hall
on the 18th inst. A good time may be
expected. l0-3-tf
Judge Bross leaves thi. morning for
Peoria TO attend the coming session Of
the Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows, which
will convene in annual session next
Tuesday. The Judge goes by way Of
st. Louis, taking his Oldest daughter
with him. Bross never misses session
Of the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge. His
absence would attract the attention of
every representative. He Is one of its
features, and one Of its best features
at that.
We came near getting first-class
item yesterday. The tongue Of one Of
the Gamble wagons, belonging to Mr..
Mat. Clarke, snapped of while the team
was being driven down the levee slope,
and the broken end cut one OF the horses
on the leg severely. The coupling.pin
luckily broke about the same instant,
which was the only thing that prevented
the wagon going into the river. The
load on the wagon was twenty-five
sacks OF bran. The tongue, Mr.. Clarke
says, was composed of very bad timber,
which caused the accident.
There is no doubt that Mr.. John T..
fcely will be candidate for county
treasurer. lie has been making hay
while the sun was out, and has very
thoroughly canyassed the county. Mr..
iieely is in every way qualified for the
office. He is acquainted with every foot
OF land in the county, and with every
man, woman and child almost. He
would make all visitors to his Office Eat
home" and as an assessor would know
how to do his duty, and would do 1t. His
election will give us pleasure; and it
would seem he is to enjoy "walk over''
in the race.
Poor old Nose Hall. the negro boot
black and stable mana fine old colored
gentleman, one Of the oldcn kind-has
gone the way Of all flesh by way of the
Ohio river. On Thursday night he fell
from the wharf-boat, aud that was the
last Of earth with him. The result OF
that fall was that Coroner Gossnian was
called and sat on poor old Moses body.
Well. well the unfortunate Nose had a
hard time in this world ut best. Fortune
was not kind-was, In fact. cruel
step-mothcr to old Moses. She hit him
many blows with her hard hand, aud it
may be that the old man Is happier in
death than he was In life.
Mr.. Sam Williamson lost a gold
watch some time ago. 1t vanished from
his gaze like beautiful dream. He
wondered where 1t had gone to, and at
times was tempted to charge one of the
spirits that haunt the hall of the Free
Religious Association with the theft.
But he didn't. He told Sheriff Irwin
about it. \ lew days ago, Irwin told
Sam that his watch was ut Champaign
and that the colOrcd citizen who had
taken it was in jail in that city. SO SAM
went to Champaign, and got both the
watch and negro. At this moment the
ticker is In the pocket of the amlable
Samuel, and the thief is under the kind
care and In the safe keeping Of .Jailer
Fitzgerald.
