AT the annual election for officers q
the Hibernlan fire company, held at thei
engine house on Thursday evening, Jas
F. Miller was elected captain of IN.
company. This is deserved compli
ment to Captain Miller who is recog
nized as chief among the great flremer
of the city.
The Sn, says ''Our Democrat,
friends must excuse us, but we can,
help asking them how they like the re
suit OF their first effort to s'bull.doze,
the Republicans into making nomina
tons for city officers" We are fount
to say Democrats are not pleased witt
the result of the election but II the Re
publicans of Cairo can stand it the Dem
ocrats certainly can.
There was more wheat sown in thi,
county last fall than ever before in ;
single year; and If nothing occurs tc
injure the crop the yield will be tn,
largest ever known. There will be per
haps one-third more corn planted thi:
spring than for many years previous.
There are not many oats grown in this

Shortly after the result of the presi.
Dental commission had declared In favor
OF MIR. Hayes, an uptown miller had the

ton, while passing the same mil 1--we saw
written on the stone "Now Is the Winter

An English dog fancier says: "All
the dogs OF high breed turn their tails to
the right, and low breed dogs turn their
tails 10 the left and are subject to hydro
phobia." Ii this statement is correct
there are not three "high breed'' dogs in
Cairo, and as all the Cairo dogs are sub.
ject to hydrophobia, We respectfully re.
quest his honor to turn the dog killer
loose at the earliest possible moment.
The question OF lighting the street
lamps is being agitated by some of our
citizens. but the proposition does not
meet with much favor. We believe that
II this question could be submitted to a
vote of the people, seven out OF every
ten voters in the city would vote against
lighting the lamps. We got along with
out gas during the dark nights of the
winter, and can certainly get along with.
out it duriug the summer.

There is considerable anxiety to
know who Mayor Winters next iailer
will be. 1t has been charged, but
whether truthfully we cannot say, that
his honor has pledged the negroes that
they should have one member of the
police force, the city jailer, and the SUI
perintendent Of streets. We are iaclined
TO believe his honor too smart to make
any such pledges, knowing, as he GER.
tainly does, that the cornell would not
be willing to give the negroes quite all
the good positions.
