Cairo can boast of three or four Of
as fine millinery establishments as any
city Of her size in the State. Indeed the
millinery trade forms prominent feature
OF the trade Of the city, and the amount
OF goods in this line sold in Caro- dur
ing the year is greater than many per-
sons are willing 10 believe. AmopSclu. |
new .estaRliehmInery line we may men
ton the new and enterprising firm Of |
Miss ). II. Carson & Co., Commercial |

firm has just received a large and COM
plete new stock, which they are ready to |
exhibit TO those wishing to purchase.
Their stock is all entirely new, fresh and |
seasonable, and will be sold at the most
reasonable price. We bespeak for the

We this morning announce Capt.
W. z. Wright rs a candidate for Alder
man from the Third ward. This an, |
nouncement will meet the hearty APP.
proval Of large majority of the voters
OF the Third ward. Capt, Wright has
represented his ward in the council for
the last four years, and during all that
time his co urse has been CONSTANT and
lair in all things. On all questions where
the interests of the citizens have been at
stake, Capt. Wright has been found true
TO his constituents and the city at large.
We believe the voters of the ward ,seuer-
ally favor his reelection, and we do
not anticipate that he will have serious
opposition. Capt, Wright is familiar
with all the important questions that are
likely to come before the council during
the next year, and we believe 1t would
be bad move for him to retire irom the
council at this time.
