POVERTY AND SUFFERING.-"I was down

CAIRO, LIS, August 90, 1873

CARo, LIS, August 90, 1873.
There has been no change in the situation
Of business since our last report, and there
is no reason to believe there will be until
the state Of affairs in the south have taken
a turn. There is no business being done,
to speak Of, with the southern trade owing
to the timidity Of the country people, who
are afraid TO come TO the city. For this
fright Of our country friends, there is no
cause, as Cairo is perfectly free from yellow
lever. and our citizens have no fear from
the future We base our belief on the facts
which have shown themselves for thirty
five years past, that, while cities south Of
Cairo have suffered 70 the most alarming
extent from the dread disease, yellow fever
has never taken a hold here. 1t is the be-
lief Of our best physicians that the disease
will not flourish in the atmosphere Of this
locality.
The market is well supplied in -four of all
grades, hay, corn, oats, meal and flour.
Choice butter is scarce and in good demand.
Eggs are in good supply and fair demand.
Choice peaches, apples and pears are scarce
There is a good local demand for all.
Poultry is in good demand, Choice is
very scarce and will sell at from 81 Is to
800 per coop.

An ASTONISHING FACT.--A large proper
ton of the American people are to-day suf-
fcring from the effects Of Dyspepsia, or
disordcrcd liver. The result of these diseases
upon the masses of intelligent and valuable
people is more alarming, making life actu-
ally burden instead Of a pleasant existence
Of enjoyment and usefulness. There is no
good reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take the
advice Of druggists and your friends, and
try one bottle of Green's August Flower,
your speedy relief is certain. Millions Of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory re-
suits IN every case. You can buy sample
bottle for ten cents to try. Three doses Will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by
all druggists on the Western Continent.
