to run chance to enter the race for
mayor or any other Office. Mr.. Winter
disclaims connection with either Of the
political parties, and knows that IL party
lines were drawn he would be left out in

A special dispatch from Anna to the
st. Louis Republican, under date OF
March 18th, says: "The committee OF
the Illinois house OF representatives to
select a site for the Southern Illinois pen.
itentiary arrived here yesterday and de.
parted to-day for Springfield. They
seemed impressed with our quarries OF
fine building-rock, abundance of pure
spring-water, quantity aud variety of
timber for manufacturing purposes, our
proximity to coal and railroad facilities.
The citizens Of Union county gave them
a cordial reception. the mayor of Anna
and Jonesboro, together with county
and city officials participating. If we get
justice, the Southern Illinois penitentiary
will be located here"
A person signing himself"A Voter''
had communication in the San last
evening. "Voter" doesn't say so, but
evidently he was one of the citizens who
carried on "Cuhls meeting" and our
report of that interesting affair offended
him. whereat he rushed into print and
relieved himself by letting loose at the
BULLETIN a quantity of harmless stuff
intended to be very severe. Now, really,
the meeting was very r. Cuhl-iar one
as we reported it, only considerably
more so. Did "Voter" ever hear of the
poet who once upon time wrote "as
funny as he could?" Why, il we had
given verbatim report Of that meeting
the readers of the BULLETIN would have
thought we were trying to initiate that
noted humorist, and we shudder to think
OF what would have been their fate-the
most OF them would have "died a-laugh-
ing"
