George NJ. Dougherty, the amiabe
editor of the Jonesboro Advertiser, was in
Cairo, yesterday, and, as he should have
done, made THE BULLETIN Office his head
quarters.
Anna Biglow, one Of the unfortunate
class Of females, was up before Judge Bird.
yesterday, on charge of disorderly CON
duct. The fact warranted the charge, and
Anna was fined SIS, and the official decora-
tons.
Bill and Luke Foster tested their fight
ing abilities with couple of strangers in
SCOTS saloon, and came out second best in
the russell. None of the parties have been
brought to justice.
II you chance to meet an unemployed
laboring man, who tries to work upon your
sympathies by telling you that he is hard
up, and can find no work to do, mark him
down as fraud and humbug. A gentle
man who has a large quantity of lumber
to move, has made the most diligent efforts
to secure laborers; and from all the thronp
Of idle men, white and black, in the city,
he could secure the services of only fifteen
men--less than half the number for which
he has employment. Colored loafers re-
turned the reply that they didn't have to
work." while, singularly enough, the white
loafers were not physically able to tackle
work Of such an exhausting character.
Hence, we repeat, if we have idle laboling
men in jtiro, they are idle from choice
and not from necessity.
We invite attention to the attractive
advertisement Of A. Black, wholesale and
retail dealer in boots and shoes He main
tans the only exclusive boot and shoe
house in the city; and look through his
stock, yesterday assured us Of his ability to
supply every demand that is made upon
him, whether for single pair Of shoes or a
hundred cases Of them. Mr.. B. has devoted
many years to the boot and shoe business;
and keeping the largest stock in Southern
Illinois, he appreciates the necessity for sell
ling at such prices as will secure a cores
pondingly large trade. In this connection,
We refer to his price list, which we publish
this morning. We hazard nothing in say
ing that equally good goods are sold no.
/ where in the great markets Of the west, ut a
lower figure. His stock, too, is 50 varied
that every body can be suited and as the
season is now at hand when goods in his
line are in active request, it will prove a
money-saying operation to call upon him
before eilccting purchases elsewhere.
The trial between r. p. Owen, plain
tiff, and Daniel Britt, defendant, on an &C
ton of assumpsit, came off before Judge
Comlngs yesterday, occupying the greater
portion Of the day. Several days ago we
gave an account of horse attached to a
wagon, breaking from his fastenings and
dashing into Mr.. Owens team, causing it
to run away and to smash the carriage to
which it was attached. The case owes its
origin to that occurrence. The evidence
was to the effect that Mr.. Britt had taken
all necessary precaution to hitch his team,
and that under ordinary circumstances the
fastenngs used would have held the
animal; but the case was an extraordinary
one, and such as average prudence would
not have provided against. Hence, the
court refused TO award Mr.. Owens the SEQ
damages he claimed and rendered iudg-
mcnr against him for the cost of suit.
Whercupon Mr.. o. gave notice of n pur-
pose TO appeal to the circuit court. When
we say that Justus Cunningham appeared
for Britt, no one will be surprised at the
result 1t is true Mr.. Cunningham didn't
hear any OF the evidence, and was, there
FORE ignorant Of the facts before the court
but what difference could that make to a
lawyer of Mr.. Cs acknowledged ability
He had his theory and fitted it to the law
and he is credited with making one Of the
loudest speeches ever heard in Cairo. He
was warmly complimcntcd ut the conclu
, sion of his effort; but bore his clustering
honors as mcckly as he could have don't
