Our reporter arrived al conclusion
respecting the Phoenix Drug Store sign,
that was warranted by surface appearances
but not BY the facts. The sign vas painted,
as special favor to Mr. OHara, by the
boss painter of the Illinois Central railroad,
who lives in Centraia, and enjoys the re.
spect of all who know him. He is, as the
sign in question proves, one OF the most
artistic painters, in the State Of Illinois
The painter without hsbitation Or a
name" is also master hand with brush,
but he didn't paint the O'Hara sign.
In replying to a statement Of The
BULLETIN, that not one Of the many fat
places subject to the disposition of the pres

hopes to receive orders from those needing
his services. lie is prepared 10 perform
any kind Of work. from the patching Of q
pint cup. to the roofing and gathering of q
depot. He proposes to do good, honest
work a. living prices, and is not without
hope that his fellow-citizens will bestOw
upon him liberal share of their patron

We admonish the married men OF
Cairo to take care of themselves. Only a

ern Illinois, husband got out of his warm
bed and went out into the back yard to get
wood with which 10 build the morning fire.
Not returning as he was expected to do,
search was made for him, and he was
found, frozen stiff. near the wood pile
where he had toppled over. This incident
