The Southern Illinois Farmer and
Fruit GroDer of last Thursday contains
reports from nearly all the fruit growing
regions of Southern Illinois, from which
it is apparent that the injury to the fruit
BY the late frosts is not severe, and about
the only thing injured are the straw
berries. Even these are not injured Sc
verely, and there will be an abundant
yield.
Alderman Patier introduced reso.
luton at the last meeting of the city
council for an increase OF the police
force. We agree with Alderman Pat
Ter on this question and believe the force
should be increased, as the alderman
says, to seven men and chief. For the
last year the force has been too small to
be serviceable. Though the officers are
diligent and faithful in the discharge of
their duties, they are too few in number
to perform all the duties required Of the
police.
Prot. Cooke gave another of his enter
tainnents at the Atheneum last night in
the presence OF large and intelligent
audience. We do not propose to partic-
ularize, but will say that the professor
performed every act that he agreed to,
and more too and did them In a man
ncr that fairly astonished even the most
sincere spiritualist present. Prot. Cooke
is certainly success in his business; and
besides, is perfect gentleman in all his
intercourse with those with whom he has
kuuipac transactinpc
The Paducah NeVs of Wednesday
says: ave understand that the Har-
monte society are going to Cairo one day
next week, where they will entertain
the Cairoites with the Cantata Ruth.
We can assure our Cairo friends that
they will be delighted with this splendid
musical entertainment Let our Pa
ducah neiGhbOrs come along, and they
will meet with hearty reception at the
hands Of the Cairo people. Only let us
know before hand of the date of their
coming, that we may be ready for them.
Since writing the above we learn that
the society will be in Cairo on next FRI
day evening, May llth.
lent it about time that there should
be thinning out of the thieves, gam
blers aud confidence men that still linger
in our city. They may be seen at our
wharf, at our depots, in our saloons and
on our street corners, siDgly, in pairs
and by half dozens. True the police
have succeeded in Kidding the city Of
some of them; but why not all 4. In the
name of the decent people of our city.
We ask that prompt and decisive meas
ures be adopted to rid the place of such
an unwelcome presence. Ii the present
police force is not sufficiently strong to
bring the offenders to justice, let our city
council authorize the appointment of
more. The people will shoulder the en-
pense cheerfully.
Harry Martin is leather colored
gentleman who prides himself on his
good looks, and has a supreme contempt
for the Ordinary every day mig
GER" Harry is stranger in Cairo, but
in his wanderings about the city fell in
with colored ''damsel. known as Hat
tie Wilson. Hattie played sweet on the
unsuspecting Martin, and finally sue
ceeded in enticing him into den on
Poplar street presided over by
well-known courtesan. Harry was
not half as smart as he believed he was,
