The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-05-30


tonight and Saturday night
We received, too late for insertion in
to-days paper, well written communica-
ton upon the subject recently treated by
"Modcstus,' viz; the colored girl-mothers
Of the city.
Commissioner Oberly is in the city,
and will remain day or two. Mrs. o,
and family are in the enjoyment OF good
hcalth-thc diptheria having about COM
pleted the round of the family.
The "blessed old ass" of the Sun, Dor
rowing the expctivc from the lamented
Nally, calls the editor of THE BULLETIN
"snaggle-toothed Nose Harycl." The mans
impotency is absolutely pitiablc.
We hear it stated that Mr.. Jimmy
Coleman has purchased the book and sta
tionary establishment of Mr.. B. F, Parker
If tins be true avery popular and deserving
gentleman will be worthily succeeded
Two or three wagons loads Of boxes,
barrels, tarpaulines, etc. were taken to
Mound City, yesterday evening, which may
be accepted as an intimation that there
will be no lack of refreshment stands on
the ground.
The old ties of the c. & " and |. G..
roads displaced by new ties, make excel
| lent frewood when dried out. AS they are
given to parties who will remove them,
better opportunity for obtaining cheap fuel
is not likely to be presented during the
present season.
The Champion is booked for a grand
Sunday excursion from Caro- to Paducah
and return. OF course the trip will be
made for the pleasure of the ride. The
boat will leave Cairo in the morning and re-
turn in the evening. Full particulars will
be made known, probably tomorrow.
The County Court has rendered jndg-
mcnt against all the lands and lots re-
ported by Collector Hodges as delinquent
for the taxes of 1878, etc, except for the
railroad taxes charged to the property
owned by the members of the Cairo tax
payers association. Judgment for that tax
was refused.
The compensation of the City Attorney
: is confined to a salary of $3.50 a year, and
IS per cent. OF the fines collected. He il
no longer allowed $3.50 to be taxed as cost
in each. the cost III the most trivial cases
: amounting to four or five dollars without
that. The argument however is not i'm
paired by the change of the premises.
DR.. Arters strength continues to fail him,
the warm weather operating greatly to his
disadvantage. He has no expectation that
he will recover, and seems to heartily wish
that the end may come speedily. He has
suffered intensely from neuralgia pains OF
late, and still suffers from that cause, but
not SO accutely as formerly.
The Cairo archery club has received
its consignment ofspecimcn bows and ar
rows, and held practice meeting last
evening. To give interest to the shooting
contests there should be rival clubs. Can't
some power move the down town people to
the formation of club? The material is
abundant, but the spirit apparently weak.
John Fuller was arrested, yesterday,
on q charge of larceny, in this, that he had
stolen and carried away from lcycc saloon
a lot of oysters and sardincs. The parties
appeared before Squire Comings where il
was shown that Fuller was entirely guilt
less of the thcft-that the edible luxuries
had been stolen by certain Londa Moore,
who had fled the city Wherefore Mr.,
Fuller went forth, hisrcputation relieved Of
the damaging blotch made by the accusa-
ton.
The submarinist Hiram Hill is at
work in the Ohio near the point, bringing
out lot of nails that went down with a
barge, some time ago. Charlie HALEY is
the diver. We doubt it much if there is a
man in the United States who has spent as
large portion of his life under water as
Hiram Hill. He embarked in the bell
boat or wrccking business about thirty
years ago with Eads and Nelson, and
has devoted himself to that occupation eve
since.
The Cairo and Paducah packets hat
another test of speed, yesterday, the Cham
pion proving herself rather the heetcr craft
: The people patronizing the packets will no
feel any the less secure when the matter o.
$ speed is determined, and the periodical races
I are brought to m end. No i'll results may
follow, but it is quite impossible for those
who commit their wives, children or what
not to the care Of the boats for carriage
