DEAR SIR:-Wil Ling, in yesterdays
| BULLETIN wants to know where Blake is
and why he didn't Ego right i'm and
"draw up" the National, Delta and Silver
Cornet bands, ana have them hold open
air concerts. do not think there would
be any trouble to get the different bands
to giveithese concerts, and they will, |
am certain do so, since they are so
highly appreciated by the citizens.
There is one thing though that has
| tendency, to prevent these concerts, and
that is the insutterable dust, cs-
pecially at the 10th street
stand, which under the rigorous efforts
OF the active feet of the crowd OF small
boys that congregate on these occasions,
becomes at times thick enough to be al
most cut with knife, and unbearable,
If this could be prevented and the boys
be furnished with cool drink OF water,
they are all temperate) | think there
would be no difficulty in having regular
concerts, as in years gone by.
Yours, \ MEMBER OF A BAND.
Archie Robinson, a bad negro
well known to the police and many
Others in this city, was up before Judge
Bird yesterday charged with having
stolen pair of shoes from shoemaker
on the levee named Sefkie, Archie took
the shoes while Seifkle was at his dinner,
and upon trying them on, found them
too small tor him to wear with comfort.
He tnnls fhnpA N Spptt'u unInnn nj
turned them over to Rankeus, the bar
tender, with instructions for Ranken to
sell them, which he did, TO the identical
man for whom the shoes were made.
Upon being informed of the transaction,
Seifkie had q warrant issued tor Archie
and placed it in the hands of Officer
Andy Cain, who alter considerable
hunting and big run, succeeded in
| catching his man in John O'Donnel's
barn on Eighteenth street, Archie was
held to bail in the sum Of three hundred
dollars, TO answer the charge preferred
against him at the next term OF the cir
cult court. This Is the second otlense OF
the kind Archie has committed within
few months, aud his chances for going
to the penltentiou are very good.
Who will be the next county com.
missioner to succeed MIR. Thomas vii.
son, whose term OF office expires this
fall, is an Important question. Mr.. viii
son it is said will not be candidate tor
reelection. We regret to hear this
Mr.. Wilson has been flithful officer and
has done much good as a member of the
board. In justice to the city the mem.
Der to be elected this fall should be Il
Cairo man. The country has two men,
bers, and will no doubt accord the third
member to the city. We have heard the
names of several gentlemen mentioned
in connection with the commissioners
ship, but Of them all we do not believe
there is one who would fill the
| bill. In the present condition OF
the county no man who is not inter.
ested in an economical administration
OF the finances of the county, and who
will not give proper attention to the dis
charge OF the duties OF the Office should
be elected. The Office OF county COM
missioner Is an important one, and we
hope the people of the county will see to
1t that the man TO be elected this tall will
be such man rs will give to the posi-
ton all the time and attention required
The man who is not willing to do this is
not the man for the Office.
