A DENIAL.--lhe Jonesbor0 GaHt
referring to an article which appeared in
the BULLETIN Of Tuesday morning last.
| says:
The Cairo BULLETIN IL mistaken when
| II says that the Gdzette atlirms that "the
| Cltlzrns OIL Cairo are opposed 70 the Cairo
and 81. Louis railroad, and are trying TO
prevent the company IRON running their
track INTO the clly." We stated that the
management OF Mr., Canda, who always
| Promised and never fulfilled, bad forfeit,
ed all coniideuce In the road, and led TO
its virtual abandonment from Muir
| physbOrO to Cairo, and joined with
the BULLETIN IN calling for
| a change IN the management
OF the road. Dir. Smithers, agent OF the
| European bOndhOlder-, has been ap-
| pointed receiver Of the k. -. aud, we
are pleased 10 learn has made arrange
ments 10 pnt the track In good repair to
| their depot grounds and elevator In
Cairo. We have reason 10 know that q
| majority OF the cItlzens VI Cairo have
always been friendly TO this road, aud
have done all In their power TO make this
| enterprise A success.
la this CONNECTION we wish TO make q
| correction in statement OF 81. Louis
| reporter In an interview with Mr.. Smith
ers, 70 far as this country and city Is
concerned. 1t was stated that Mr..
Canda failed because he did not
get bonds that we're pledged 10
Tim by counties and cities. In
tins county he received half the bonds,
| 90, 900. aud pledged 10 thu county CONF
lni-si"nrr- that he would forfeit the re-
maiHder ii the road was not completed
| ny the first DAY Of January I FLOWING
The road was not completed until March
| Again. Mr. C1nda Stipulated 10 pay out
of thl- $40 900 that was forfeited some
| $40 600 or $1,000 due 10 our citizens
| from the AUTHORIZATIONS who built the
roan through this county, and have
never been pad. II will be seen by this
/ Statement that hr. Canda vas not mate-
/ rally Injured ii Iancially In thls county.
lnstead, however, Of trying 10 build
up the road and accommodate It's pa
irons, he pursued an opposite course.
| There i-n't decent depot building On
the road Ia TINS county. He got the en-
mity Of the Farmers by killing stock and
refusing to pay for it, aud By going into
| litigation in .mall matters that should
! have been settled without con royeray.
! From these ,-ausrs, and others Of like Tx,
he people OF Union county, like those OF
Cairo. while approaching the brnefts
a. rived from the road. and desiring its
succr.s. Deprecated the Management.
and desired change. They wish the
new management success, and will 3D..
! pr clate any and every Improvement
that will rebound 70 the success Of the
n row Gauge. and 10 the accommoda>
ton OF it's patrons.
