The Cairo and st. LOuis Railroad.

The managers Ofthis company. anxi>
Gus to excuse their miserable manage
ment OF its affairs, seek to give TO the
public reason for their shortcomings
not founded in tact; and the Jonesbor0
Gazette, while pretending to blame Can
da and his people, falsely insinuates that
certain coal firm OF Cairo is throwing
impediments in the way OF the little badly
managed road Tor the purpose Of keep.
the Big Muddy coal. Our
people will be astonished by this ass
ssrtion. While the little road was runs
ming in It's little way there was not more
Big Muddy coal brought to Cairo than is
now beng brought, and that kind OF coal
never sold at lower figures then now. Big
Muddy coal can be brought as quickly

Illinois Central roads as by the little bad
ly managed road of Canda and his PEG.

better than Paradise coal, is sold by The
Cairo City Coal Company, which is
probably the great monopoly" at which
the Gazette is shooting its haphazaru
shait.. This company's profits

has done nothing to keep the Cairo and
st. Louis road from carrying it TO Cairo,

in doing so. II now obtains this Big

OF coal oyer the st. Louis road, and sells
it at not one cent more profit than it sold
the same kisd of coal while the little
road was being operated. The GaIssi,

attempts to throw upon that company
blame that should rest on no other
