This Is an improvement that has long
been needed, Cairo station being in i'm.
portance and in amount Of business done
second only to Chicago. The force Of
clerks required in the Office Is from
eight to twelve the year round. and the
old office would not near furnish desk
room.
&C. Il. Woodward not only has the
most widely known iron store In the west,
but he can boast Of the finest croquet

The st. Louis Republican Of Monday
says: "Mr Jewctt Wilcox, well known
in st. Louis, is at present sojourning
in our city. lie is the manager OF the
fremont House. Chicago, one of the
largest and finest hotels in that village.
The fremont is kept up to the highest
standard, and nothing is left for guests to
desire in the way of &C ,ommodatlons. 1t
is favoite with st. Louis people who
happen to lay over in Chicago, to whose
comfort and convenience Mr.. Wilcox
pays especial attention"
The Palucah Ner; Of the DIST SAYS:
"When the Cantata Ruth was being re-
hearsed. Mr. ". II. Morris, of Cairo, hay
Ing splendid voice, was selected for the
part of Boaz. A short time ago it was
announced that he had given up the part
and would not appear, but we are
glad to learn that the OBJ
stacles to .his appearance in this
grand musical entertainment have been
removed, and it IS now absolutely GER
tain that he will represent Boaz on that
occasion. The expectation Of attending
law suit and sickness in his family were
The cause of his recent declination. His
Wife Is recovering her health, and his ar
are such that he can make it
to be with US. The Paducah
public will be glad to hear this"
The guests at the pleasant sociable
last week at Mr.. Hyslop's rooms had
their attention called to fine portrait of
that gentleman recently painted in this
city by Professor F. Sanders. The pic
ture is fine work Of art. the likeness
very correct and characteristic of the
subject it represents. We do not hest.
tate to pronounce it one OF the finest por-
traits we have ever seen. We have seen
another OF the portraits painted by Prot
Sanders that in our estimation could not
be excelled. We refer to that of DR.,
Wardner, representing him in the full
uniform OF knights Templar. 1t is d
beautiful specimen OF rich coloring. The
likeness is excellent and the regalia ex.
quisitely painted. The Professor has
several orders for pictures, and We are
glad OF this as lie has given UP his studio
in st. Louis to locate in Cairo, and is en-
titled to generous encouragement from
our citizens.
