INDusTRIoCs.-Mr. Searls, the attor-
ney of the Cairo and st. Louis railroad,
is very industrious in his efforts to obtain
from Cairo greater favors than have been
already extended to that company. He
ha. apparently become a fixture In Cairo.
Probably he has concluded to go to
church with our people as he did with
the people of "a little sectarlan road on
our line" until he has fixed things"
lie is a gentleman who believes and says
that 800 ofeyery 1000 Of the people along
the Cairo and st. Louis road are marked
and Labelled like stock OF goods, and
he may be trying to read the ''marks'
on some OF our folks.

DUCKS IN HARD wATEE.-Cairo ducks
are warm water birds. In their veins
runs The blood OF the South and they pad
die with webs that never walked on con-
gealed water. They arr not big thing
on ice. Yesterday morning two playful
web-foots betook themselves to the pleas
ant pool of water that lies between our
Office and Feith's coffin store. They en-
joyed themselves antil Ia the afternoon.
Then something began 10 puzzle them.
The water began to become hard. They
couldn't swim through it. They looked
amazed. and one said:
This is strange. cane make it out.
What do you think Is the matter with
this iluid:"
81 don't know" replied the other !:
''all this is mystery to me-"
The coversation proceeded, when the
second said
Let Us n.y."
1--WE can't" said the other.
And they could't, for they were frozen
In. They tapped their wings, but neither
could move. About dark we sent two
valiant boys to relieve them. Tn. ducks
were rescued from their icy imprisOn-
lnent, and told to go home
"rhank you, we WILL said one Of the
birds. "But I'm amazed, and I'm sure
my friend here, who has padded with me
On many stream and pond, will agree
with ME when say that that is the
ippi valley. would advise you boys to
not go into it,"

PRINTING REVISED ORDINANCEs.-I
will be observed by the public. when it
eagerly pcruses the proceedings Of the
meeting of the City Council, held last
Tuesday night, that the Ordinance CON-
mittee reported that two bids were re-
ceived for printing and binding the re-
vised ordinances, but who the bidders or
what the bids were is not stated, except
that il is casually remarked by the com
mittee that the CAIRO BULLETIN Con-.
PASY proposes to do certain thing for
S23j. We therefore take the occasion to
say that the CAIRO BULLETIN COMPANY
was one of the two first biders, aud was
lower than the other bidder-the
agricultural people some $50, and
that the CAIRO BULLETIN COMPANY was
one of the bidders the second time, and
was under the other bidder, the Al.
folks, about half hundred again. Aud
the fact is. we are the best and cheapest
printers in the Mississippi valley. We
do not say this In boasfnl spirit. or for
the purpose OF narrowing the feelings OF
our printer friends OF this city, but as an
expression our merits as competent and
low.priced printer demands.

AT THE BAII.--Our attention has been
called to the fact that "Mrs. s. j. g."
was at the Centennial ball and has not
said word about 1t in the Gazette. and
that, therefore, she Is sorry for what
she said about the Centennial women.
We don't accept the statement that "Mrs.
$. J. s." was at the bsll, aud we know
the therefore" Is not good logic. We
understand that "Mrs. =. J. s." was not
at the ball but, since "Mrs. Contennial''
has told US she was, we are not inclined
to be stubborn about the matter. We
are, however. sure that even IL she was
one OF the Leap.Year female patriots
that danced on that occasion, she is not
sorry for what she has said so well. But
II she IL, and intends TO tall In with our
patriotcsses we shall rejoice.
HIS COMMUNICATIONS Winter
made written communication TO the
city council on Tuesday night. About
what? a communication of the mayor
to the city council should find place in
the report Of the proceedings Of the meet
ing at which the communication was
made. What the mayor says IN refer
ence to city matters. the people should
have an opportunity to hear or read. We
arc therefore surprised to find that the
only reference that is made to the mayors
message Of Tuesday night last, is that "a
communication from the mayor was pre-
sentcd and read aud, on motion Of Al
derman Nellis. was received aud ordered
filed" Why was 1t not ordered TO be
printed! Why was 1t not referred to
committee? Why were its suggestions
not acted upon: What wa. 1t about,
anyhow:
