hearty laugh,

Mr.. r. Fitzgerald was elected to the
Office Of Coroner, on Tuesday last, by very
decided majority. As His principal oppo-
nent was the accepted Republican nominee,
and, tn Cairo at least, received the support
of fully flve-sXths Of of his party friends,
Mr.. F.'s success may be esteemed as n high
personal compliment The only Republican
nominee that failed to carry the county was
Mr.. Fitzgerald's opponent
The term Of Mr. McKcaig's service in
the Cairo poStofiice expires next month
The salary thousand dollars year
forms a plum that will be knocked down
by the 'longest pole y but who, among our
prominent Republicans has possession Of
the polel McKeaig, Hughes, Wright and
Close will doubtless be contestants for the
prize, but which one Of the quartettc will
secure it? We are quite confident we
know but are resolved to keep our own
counseis We desire that the several appli-
capts indulge, yet awhile, the pleasures OF
anticipation,
\ Thanksgiving day, yesterday, was OBJ
served by large number Of our citizens.
The services at church called out an audi
ence of respectable size, and number Of
our business men closed their places Of bust
ness. Lest some of our distant readers
form the conclusion that we are taking
time by the foreock in this thanksgiving
business, we feel called upon to say that the
day was observed under the suggestion Of
the mayor, that our citizens might give eX-
preston to their thanks that so many es-
capped the deadly epidemic which we can,
now, happily regard as terror Of the past
Whatever shortcomings, omissions or
commissions may be charged to the
account of Sheriff Saup in other respects, it
must be confessed that as collector Of our
revenue, he exercised considerable dill
gcncc, and paid over the money to the par
ties authorized to receive it, with a prompt
ness that was highly commendable. The
money due the State and the several school
treasurers of the county, WAS not permitted
to lie in bank; but was paid over as fast as
collected. School officers and school teach
ers appreciate promptness in that particu-
lar, and hence all OF them have good word
to say for Collector Saup
- Fred Kochler & Co.'S steamboat meat
shop is constantly supplied with the choicest
beef pork, etc. that are brought to the
Cairo market. Freds experience Of years
has taught him that the very best meats he
can buy are not too good for steamboats,
and Cairo hotels. His supply yesterday en-
braced six or eight beeyes, hogs, sheep,
etc, equal to any demand that was likely
to be made upon him. He has, in his time
slaughtered more beeycs and hogs, calves
etc, than any man in Southern Illinois, and
it yet to be said of him that he ever put
piece of meat upon our market that was not
strictly merchantabe. Old Joe Able is So
licitor for and assistant in the establish
ment, and will do all that any other man
could do to enlarge its business. Joe is
popular among the river men, and is
certain to command liberal, If not the
lions share of all the river patronage in his
line, that is bestowed upon Cairo.
! VII. pcO. W. DWllllllOuS, III NnpSc bc-
half many of our soyereigns worked with
considerable zeal last Tuesday, was beaten
for the office of county commissioner, by
majority of 80 or 40 votes. As the returns
came in he was alternately clated and de-
pressed Over the result in Cairo lac felt
| bad but the returns from Thebes, Goose
Island and Unity put him in good cheer
again He was 30 or 40 votes ahead, with
lIazelwood, where he felt sure Of n good
vote, to hear from. But his expectations
were not realized. Ha2ewood "went back
on him" His majority of 30 or 40 was
overcome there and like majority piled
up for Brilcy! The blow was a severe one;
and although our sheriff elect offered to
comfort him, George utterly refused to be
comforted. He was beaten he said, and
would "enjoy" the humiliation and disap-
pointment of his defeat, as much as suited
him. But defeated as he is, George is not
crushed. Next year he will be a county
commissioner again.
