the Planters will be supplied with the onlv
thinS II ever lacked-a complete, commo.
dious, clean kitchen.
"A human monstrosity was on exhibi.
tion yesterday, in the building on Com.
mcrcial, few doors above Klugc's store.
II was man, twenty four years Of age,
weighing seventy pounds, and with head |
measuring thirty-siv inches in circumference
What was specially remarkable Of the de-
formed creature, was that he enjoyed good
health, ate heartily, although the entire
body with all the limbs except the left arm
has been paralyzed for years. The limbs
are shrivelcd and puny, and the teeth
nearly gone, as the wretched object him
self says from an excessive use OF candy.
He was on exhibition under the manage
ment of his father We will add to the
surprise of our readers by remarking that
the unfortunate creature was not married.
The county commissioners OF Randolph
county are in trouble. Randolph county sub
scrbcd a certain amount to the capital stock
of the Cairo and St. Louis railroad com
pany, and issued bonds in payment thereof.
The county refused to pay Interest. Ger
tain bondholdcrs sued in the United States
District court The court entered an or
der Of some kind, and the commissioners
dsrcgarded the injunction it imposed upon
them. The bondholders, disposed to en-
force obedience, caused the United States
Marshal to visit Randolph county and take
the commissioners under arrest This duty
was performed the gentlemen were escort
ed to Springfield, thrown into prison, where
they will remain until they purge them
selves of their contempt for the United
States District court" Can't our commits
sioners or better yet our board Of alder
men, suffer little martyrdom at the hands
of the holders of Alexander county bonds
1t would be good thing to do, if it could
be brought about just before an election.
Our patrons, many Of them, note the
improved quality Of work, particularly the
press work, turned out at THE BULLETIN
office We venture TO say that Cairo has
never had better or more experienced press
men or printers than those now employed
10y The BULLETIN The work speaks for
itself We do not hesitate to call attention
to presswork on poster and book work nor
to the fact that We do more work Tor parties
away from Cairo strange rs it may seem,
than from our own citizens. If THE BUI-
LETIS depended for lis life upon our own
citizens, il could scarcely survive three
months Nevertheless we will continue to
give good work on best quality of paper.

class work at these starvation prices and
feeling stubbornly inclined we shall con,in-

A young man from some neighborhood
in the surrounding country, attracted con
siderable notice yesterday, and couldn't
tell why for the life OF him. He was the
awkwardest, most gangling, loosejointed,
"slommickv' walker ever seen in Cairo,
and being such, he attracted attention be-
cause he wore the uniform Of soldier
After loating about the city
several hours, he absorbed
divers and sundry kinds of inyig-
Grating cordiais, inquring for and drink
ing different kind in every saloon he pa.
tronizcd. About the middle Of the after
noon, feeling in merry mood, he plunged
into crowd OF boys for the fun Of seeing
EN- scatter" and if ever poor devil paid
dearly for an indiscrctlon, it was that
stranger. For full hour he lived in the
midst Of II shower Of clods, mud,
oyster cans, cindcrs com.cobs
and missiles of every description
the youngsters could employ. This blind
ing shower was kept up for a full hour or
more the stranger running after and from
the boys, until finally human nature could
stand no more, and the great gswky fellow
blubbered outright, bawling like hoarse-
voiced sea calf This terminated the strife
of course; and should thar youth visit Cairo
every week, hereafter, he will never again
"hayc fun by plunSinS into a crowd Of
boys to sec EN- scatter.
