The absence OF our tavorite contributor
"Iinwood," from our columns, to-day,

--Hinkle, Thistewood and Moore have
disposed of considerable quantity OF TO-
bacco during the past two Or three days,
at prices entirely satisfactory alike to
planters and purchasers.
Red flannel about the Threats of our

ribbon on the lapel of the coats. Coughs
and colds seem to form general ailment,
as well elsewhere as in Cairo,
Billy Ludwig has erected new avn
ing in front Of his business establishment,
and can assure the gentleman who mani
tested so much solicitude about his former
awning that this one is straight"
Quite throng of citizens, ladies and
gentlemen, gathered on the steamer Halli-
day, yesterday evening Singing, with &C
compartments upon the boats fine piano,
added not little to the pleasure of the oc
casion.
We heard lady speak in highly COM
plimentary terms, yesterday, of the per-
sonal appearance of our preachers. The
very moment she refused to include the
newspaper men, we lost all respect for her
Judgment, and told her so.
The prevailing scarcity of greenbacks,
and the high scale of prices, did not deter

firstclass in every particular
We heard it rumored, yesterday, that
the Odd Fellows have in contemplation q
masquerade ball that will come off in few
days. AS the o. F.s are much more Civ
en- to social reunions than any other secret
order of which we know anything, the ru-
NOR is probably we'll founded.
james King and Nora Price, colored
were united in the holy bonds Of wedlock
in the Sheriff's office, yesterday, by Squire
Dick Taylor, also colored. Circuit CLERK
Reeve gave away the bride, and County
Clerk Humm, Aunt Belle and Sheriff

Barton, of the Carbondalc Free Press
throws another hot shot at the Cairo post
master. He says that unless McKeaig is
removed the Republicans will not elect 8

That being the case We shall insist upon
the retention of Mac as our postmaster,
The North EnderS, the uptown base
ball club, will play their first game of the

been supplied with the necessary books
and blanks.
