Tennessee where he will locate himself us

Now that unusually hot fires are to be
the order of the day, it behooves everybody
to inspect his or her chimneys, stovepipes
and hues. A defect that may be repaired
for fifty cents, might, if neglected, cause
the destruction of ten thousand dollars
worth of property. A little prudence eycr-
ciscd now, may save intense regret here
after.
Business about the local freigh: depot
of the Illinois Central depot was unusually
active yesterday. Among other local
freights we noticed eight or ten car loads
of sacked corn tor the mills of Messrs. A.
Mackic & Co. The freight house was IN
usually full Of miscellaneous goods, Of
which Cairo business men were the con-
signees.
The Paducah papers DIRE urging upon
the town authorities the importance of APP
pointing delegates to attend the New
Orleans Commercial onvention-mention
ing the fact incidentally that Cairo has APP
pointed a delegation headed by one of her
IIallidays.- That's the way gentlemen.
Place Cairo's example before them. They
will rarely go wrong If they follow it.
sour Bakery" is the rame of the new
establishment out of which Valentine
Resch proposes to furnish the people of
Cairo with as choice bread and cakes as can
be procured in the Cairo market. He has
employed a No. st. Louis baker, and has
no doubt Of his ability to supply demands
for bread Of all kinds, cakes and pastries,
in a manner that will give entire satisfac-

he asks is trial.
"A fight at fisticutfs was prevented and
local item spoiled, yesterday, by constable
John Sheehan. The parties had met at the
corner Of Eighth and Commercial; both of
them were ready and willing and had
squared for the conflict when Shechan put
in appearance. Both of the belligerents
scampcred into neighboring building,
and the prime offender succeeded in get
ting away. The other was ovcrhauled but
an explanation led to his release and thus
was there one case less in our Police Court.
County superintendent, Mrs. p. A.
Taylor, met with mishap, last Wednes-
day, that threatened for time, quite scri-
GUS consequences. While she was in the
act Of passing through the gate, her son ac-
cidentally trod upon her instep, causing
but momentary pain; but during the day,
while in the performance of her duties in
the school room, it grew so much worse that
she was compelled to call carriage and go
home Yesterday she had so far recovered
from the effects of the injury that no fear
OF serious consequences were entertained.
On the 2Sth day of October, the last
prisoner was turned out Of our county Jail,
leaving the whole establishment without an
inmate. And thus it remained until about
the Goth Of November, II period of over
! three weeks, without single boardcr. On
or about the last named date, a country
negro was imprisoned ON a charge of an rs
sault to commit murders and few days
afterwards country white man was i'm
/ prlsoncd for the very common offence of
refusing TO work on the roads; aud these
two men form the total Of imprisoned Grim
| inals with which the next circuit court will
have to deal, unless the number is increased
/ in the meantime. A like condition of af-
fairs cannot be found in any county in the
state, probably nowhere IN the west. 1t
forms an era in the history of the county
that deserves to be remembered
