A shocking accident occurred on
Friday last short distance above Unity

woman came to her death in singular
aud shock lng manner shG was sitting In
her house smoking a pipe, when some OF
the fire Tell into her lap and set fire on her
clothing. She tried to put out the fire
but could not, and when 1t commenced to
dame she started to run to her husband,
who was working couple OF hundred
yards away from the house.
Her screams attracted his attention but
before he could get to her she was 30
BADLY burned that she died in very
short time. Our informant could not
give US the name OF the unfortunate
creature, but vouchsafes the truth of this
statement.
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 Appointment feature
OF the trade Of the city, and the amount
of goods In this line sold in Cairo dur
ing the year is greater than many per-
sons are willing TO believe. Among the
new establishments which deal exclu-
sively in the millinery line we may men
ton the new and enterprising firm Of
Miss ). Ii. Carson 81 Co., Commercial
avenue opposite Winters block. This
firm has just received 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
new firm fair share OF patronage.
