The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1878-09-08

The Americans boast of their progress,
but they are just now feeling what every
true Irishman has felt tor two hundred
years--an aversion to yellow as color.
Bill Lee says we will have frost in two
weeks, and he is moved to the expression OF
this opinion by something connected will
paw-paws the drift of which we could moi
catch.
The Cairo Box Factory received yester
day morning from the Tennessee river ovei
| 300 saw logs. People need not be alarmed
the logs were thoroughly disinfected
There was plenty OF yellow poplar but nC
yellow fever among them.
The Argus-Journal tittingly defends
Farnbaker, and believes the ingenious
"Sol' put up a job on The BULLETIN. II
would be difficult thing to determine
which carried the most cheek to the square
inch-the author Of the epistlcs to Ella, or
the apologist for them.
Mr.. Ben Niece, who has been dying
with the yellow fever for the past week
according to the stories of the "bulls"-i
convalccent, and his brother, who was said
{ be in o similar condition. resumed work
yesterday. 1t pains us to expose these sto-
rics, but duty is imperative.
Mayor Winter requests us to state that
only twenty-five persons have as yet come
forward and signed their names to the vol
unteer corps to guard the city. He further
gives notice that on tonight there will
be detail of five men selected from the
roll to do duty. Any one failing to respond
his name will be published
Mayor Winter was compelled, on infor-
nation that an influx of boatmen from the
steamer Future City had threatened to
come into Cairo last night, contrary to or
ders, to swear seven good, reliable men,
who are armed and equipped to guard, to-
gether with the mounted policemen, every
avenue of approach to the city.
A session Of the supreme court begins
at Ottawa tomorrow, and Judge Baker left
yesterday to assume the duties of his new
position. The session will continne about
two months. He carries with him the best
wishes of this community, and he deserves
all of them. Cairo is proud to
point to him as one OF her citizens.
We were misinformcd when We stated
that DR.. Rauch had left the city on Friday,
The error was wholly unintentional on our
part, and under the peculiar circum-
stances, we felt it to be an
awkward one. THE BULLETIN has no de-
sire to do any one injustice, and it does
notwish to appearas ungenerous tothose who
find occasion to differ from it.
1t is good thing for the irrcdeemable
wretch who tackled handblls on the front of
the new engine house that no Hibernian
caught him in the act, No such outrage
has been committed since Cairo has had an
existence, and it IS the Guty Of every good
citizen to ferret out the audacious perpetra-
tor, and when found he should be turned
over 10 the company Tor punishment.
Mayor Winter received the following
dispatch at ESQ p. m. this day: canton,
Miss. Sept I, 1878. To the mayor of
Cairo: Please send us one car load Of lime
shipped by rail at once; we will pay fSr
same after frost Robt Powell, mayo
Immediately on receipt of same the mayor
handed telegram to Mr. LOvctt, member of
the Knights Of the Mystic Krew. A meet
ing was called Of that body Immediately and
the noble boys Immediately responded by
telegraphing a donation Of one car load of
lime to the citizens Of Canton, and that it
would go through on Monday on its jour
hey. This prompt action by the knights
speaks volumes in their praise
Five or six boys have undergone ter
rible ordeal in the last two days. They
were charged with the mischief committed a
short timr ago in putting up yellow fever
signs and otherwise dcmcaning themselves
as boys sometimes will. In two eyamina
tons, one before Squire Comings and tic
other before Justice Robinson, the proof was
insufficient to convict and they were dis
charged. The boys protested their nno-
cencc to us, and we believe every they
said. Boys don't prevarcate about such
things. If that cherry tree business had
never become a trlle venerable, we might
use it TO prove what kind of boys we have
here in Cairo, but it is perhaps unnecessary
Those midnight marauding expeditions used
to be managed better number of years
back. No traces were ever left behind, and
no one was ever known to "blow" on his
companions.
Judge Harkcr disposed of all the Grim.
inal cases in Jail by Friday at noon, and
adjourned court 1t is due to Mr.. Harkel
to state that he has made an excellent i'm.
