Catching the idea from the privincial
Cockneys, our Randolph county neighbors
will render their 4th of July celebration at
tractive and exciting by sham battle, rep.
rcsenting the fight on Breeds hill, better
known as the battle Of Bunker Hill. In
this contest soldiers with muskets, dressed
in red coats representing the British, and in
colonial costume representing the Ameri-
cans, will take part; but the battle field
will not as has been suggested, be made
CORY with solution of analine. Another
attraction will be q parade, in masks and
costumes by the Tag-Muttons and Fantas.
tics. Then there will be foot races, the
runners each carrying fifty pound hog
slow mule race, soda-cracker eating
matches; laughing match, and so on.
Special trains will be run on Narrow gauge,
and a big time Is reasonably anticipated.
If the weather is not of the parching order
the Faberdriver of THE BULLETIN, will
"be there to see."
Hon. James c. Allen, gentleman of
recognized ability, entered the Olney
Democratic judicial convention, solemnly
pledged himself that he would abide the
decision % the convention and support its
nominees. His friends worked for him
with much zeal. but he fell a few votes
short of the nomination. The convention
was an open, fair and honorable one; but
Mr.. Allen couldn't brook defeat. Mistaking
the temper of the Democracy, he went back
on his pledges, and organizing non parti-
san convention at Flora he became its nom-
ince. The result of the election shows
that Mr.. Allen, great and influential as he
has been in the Democratic party, can
not safely defy its usages, and use it at will
for his own personal advancement. He was
most disastrously and overwhelmingly de-
teated by the regular nominees, receiving
| in some Of the counties of the circuit, less
than one hundred votes. Let other Demo-
Gratis profit by his experience. AS for
James c. Allen it will require years Of good
conduct to atone for the party perfdy that
marked his course in the late judicial con-
test.
The citizens OF Sparta, in Randolph
county, held meeting, yesterday, to de-
termine if Sparta could raise the bonus that
will determine the location OF the machine
and repair shops of the CAIRO and St. Louis
railroad. Mr.. johnson, general manager
of the road was present, but what offers he
made or what conditions he imposed, we
have not learned. While it is true that
Cairo's investments in industrial establish
mcnts have not been ola character to en-
courage further expenditures of money in
in the same direction, still if the machine
shops Of the Narrow-gauge are worth any
thing to Sparta or any other locality, they
are worth quite as much to Cairo. 1t
might he well, therefore, for the Mayor, or
