MIR. John P. Hely, IN whom quite all
our people feel an interests now located in
Pattonsburg, Missouri. He is the engineer
in charge of construction, on a section OF
the Council Bluff extension of the ST.
Louis, Kansas City and Northern railroad
In letter to Judge Yocum he says, among
many other things ~ hope the boys will

"whoop-up" for me-"
BY postal card from Mr. L. F. Grain
we are informed that funeral services will
be held over the remains Of Judge Brown
in the family residence near Villa Ridge,
at o'clock this afternoon. We are not in
formed whether the body will be buried IN
the Villa Ridge cemetery or be conveyed
to deceaseds former home, in Paris, KY
we presume, however, it will be inferred,
temporarily at least, at Villa Ridge.
The government work on the Missis-
sippi side of this city, is progressing very
quietly, but quite encouraging. We regret

the place of P. H. Corcoran, as Waterman
Pat has an honorable discharge from SER
vice in the U. s. Navy, and has, therefore,
claims that ought to be recognized when it
would not be detrimental to the service to

active manual labor.
The editor of THE BULLETIN never
said, never thought, imagined or dreamed
that "almost any respectable Republican
could beat Judge Crawford for Congress"
Why, then, did the Du Quoin Tribune put
such words in our mouth" and why do our
Republican contemporaries persist in pub
fishing the Tribune's utterly false and
foundationless paragraph The BuLLE-
TIN was the first to name Judge Crawford
! in connection with congressional contest,
and believed them and believes now, that
he could be triumphantly elected.
Assessor Alden is footing up the figures
of his assessment, for 1879, and will have
it ready for the inspection Of the County
Commissioners at the time fixed by law.
Parties who have been furnished blank
schedules and have neglected to ill them
out and return them, subject themselves by
the delay, to heavy penalties. The Assessor
has his dnty to perform within prescribed
period, and as ne is now at the beginning
of the end of that period, he has no time to
devote to delinquents whom he has already
notified. So, look out.
Our railroads are wonderfully good
neighbors, because partly 1t is their nature,
and because also, il pays. For example, the

gauge sent over fifty men, and the Illinois
Central, in addition to those already loan

manned for service. The Iron Mountain
as before stated has on hand the very con.
siderable Job Of ensmalling her gauge from
five feet to four feet, eight and half inches
or to the same gauge Of the roads with
which she connects on this side of the river.
The people of Cairo, as well as Of the
lower Mississippi valley, will learn of Cap
tain Eads absolute refusal to serve on the
Mississippi river commission, with profound
regret. Unless his theory is adopted in the
improvement of the Mississippi, the people
| will have but little hope of achieving the
best possible results, let the expenditures Of
money be what they may. But, while we
all sincerely deplore the Captains declina-
ton, no one can censurc him. He has all
the business in hand he can attend to, and
could not, without great injury to his own
individual interests, accept the appoint.

his possession very ugly knife, and he also
