CITIZENS of Cairo should bear in mind
that on the It'll day Of the present month
the Delta City fire company will give ball
in the hall of their engine house, with a
view of replcnishing their somewhat de-
plctcd treasury. The company has won
the praise Of our people for efficient work in
saving the property of our citizens; and
now asks for something little more sub
stantia. The bah will be under the dircC-
ton of experienced managers, the best
music to be obtained will be ON hand, and
participants will be insured season Of
rare enjoyment That all may contribute a
little to help company that deserves 50
much, the tickets have been fixed at at a
very low figure. 1t is the duty or every
householder, at least, to buy one.
