The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1878-12-08

we have six or eight weeks OF freezing
weather, we will have no assurance that the
germs will not be brought to life and activ-
ity by the warm weather OF next spring and
summer. II is not very cheerful outlook,
it is true; but there is no necessity for bor-
rowing alarm and trouble about it.
"A colored man catching drii'twood in
The eddy below the |. G. II. r. wharfboat,
stepped upon floating log, yesterday, and,
with shrek that wsked the echoes, was
whirlcd into the water. lie was hshed out
by boy that accompanied him, and cut

fame one
Mr.. W. Pitcheris the agent IN this
section of the country, for three articles that
will certainly be in demand in all those
families that have Il care for the complete
ness of their kitchen economy. The Uni
versal Family Scale is the most convenient
family platform scale ever manufactured, is
very cheap and will last quarter of cen
tnry. The weight and Measure Cup" is
another very desirable contrivance that will
recommend itself on sight; while the Peer.
less Flour and Meal Sitter will be bought
on sight. Mr.. Pitcher viii call at the
homes Of our Cairo people, and thus afford
everybody the opportunity for buying the
set or any single article Of it.
Officer Hogan is of the opinion that as
many as five or six hundred tramps have
passed through Cairo. during the past thirty
days, on their way south. The reader who
has propG estimate Of the average tramp
can form a unreasonable estimate Of the char
actcr of the legacy the North is bequeath-
ing to the South. AS the milder climate OF
the South the attraction, and as there has
been no really severe weather in the North
to compel II vigorous movement of the in
fernal nuBances, the South has, in the tens
of thousands Of vagabonds thathave already
reached her borders, only foretastc of
what is coming. What to do with them, is
certainly a very grave question. Many Of
them, doubtless, will be shot and hung for
outrages upon unprotected women; but tie
overwhelming balaace-how shall they be
disposed of! The suggestion may not be a
valuable one; but we offer it anyhow. Knock
'em on the head, and fl! up the bloody
chasm with their carcasscs.
Under the resolution adopted at the
last meeting of the Cairo Taxpayers asso-
citation the president Of the association,
Mr.. {. r. Woodward was authorized and
requested to appoint committee, consist
ing Of ten members 10 suggest the passage
Of ordinances and the adoption Of means
whereby the sanitary condition Of our city
sh,l be 50 improved and system Of quar-
anime so enforced so as to render us more
SECURE from epidemic sickness like that
irbm which our city so recently suffered,
and to which thc South is so often subjected.
