that the committee do not advocate the

favor the whipping post.

An amusing incident of our late
city election was the persistent and I'M
compromising effort OF Charlie McGill,
a ten year old attache OF st. Mary's in
Urinary. to cast his first vote. He had
formed favorable opinion of Demue-
racy from the glimpses he had caught of
Its physiognomy in the marine and city
wards of the hospital, and imbbed more
than his share of election excitement.
Marching boldly to the court house, he
demanded Democratic ticket, and insis-
ted, against much opposition, that his
vote be recorded. The obstacles suggest
ed to the youth served only to increase
his zeal in the Democratic cause. A
compromise was at last affected, by a
pretended compliance with his wishes,
and he went away rejoicing, and fully
believing that he had elected all the nom-
inees.

Charles yesterday were ID. ID. Meanx,

The regular weekly sale OF tobacco
at the Farmers warehouse will take
place to-day, Thursday, at halt past ten
o'clock. The sale will be the largest Of
the season, between seventy.iive and one
hundred hogsheads having already ar
rived. 1t is duty the merchants and
business men OF Cairo owe to themselves
to attend these sales, and to do all
in their power to build up the tobacco
| market here. The opening of the tobac-
co market in Cairo was the beginning OF
a new era in the business. OF the city.
There is not dry goods dealer. grocer,
clothier or hotel keeper in the city who
has not been directly benefited through
the tobacco market. The weekly sales
draw to the city great numbers OF coun-
try people from the adj
jacent states of Kentucky
and Missouri, and nearly all OF them
spend more or less money with our mer-
chants, grocerymen and hotels. The
Cairo tobacco market should be sus-
tanned, and our business men and citi-
| Zens generally should not hesitate to lend
helping hand when needed.

of the road. Maj. Morrill, has had charge

it at time when its affairs
were In anything but favorable condi.
tion-its previous management having
been inefficient, loose aud carelessly
conducted, and the road had run down to
such point that had not change taken
place when it did, it would undoubtedly
have been compelled to quit business
But Maj. Morrill, threw all his energie:
into the management OF the road, and il
a very short time in a great measure
reganed what it had lost under the pre-
vious management and now, at hi
retirement, after three years at the heaC
OF the road, he has the satisfaction
of knowing that the traffic OF the roac
has been increased to such an extern
that it is now doing business that will
all things considered, compare fayorabl,
with any other road in the state. Per
sonally Maj Morrill, has many warn
friends in Cairo who will regret his dc
parture from the city. MIR. Miller: VIII

of the road has had many years exper
