The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-11-25

to decay This should not be. Some
unsteady inclined man should interest him
self in their preservation.
Mr.. A. Black, who bought large as
sortment of boots and shoes before the late
rise, is offering them at the old figures. His
stock is the most complete in the city, and
the quality is of the best, and always found
Us represented.
The first number OF the "Cairo School
Recorder" q little six page juvenile weekly,
published by Roy p. Alden, found its way
to our table yesterday. 1t is neatly gotten
up and sensibly written little sheet and
ought to, and in all probability will
succeed.
The Sun says: "Thats funny ac-
count of the Jack Winter store published
IN the morning paper not long since. Did
you read it," What question: Ger.
tainly; everybody read it, and ten will read
the above extract this morning to one that
read it in the Sun last night.
The "boys1 of the New York store, ac-
c0mpanied by our worthy city clerk, Foley
and others, we believe, were on rabbit
hunt Sunday, above the city apiece, If
they were as successful in running tor rab
bits as Foley is in running for Office they
must have returned with a sack full apiece.
We are pleased to announce the arrival
in this city, at the residence of Alderman
Kynaston a boy, aged, this morning, one
day and one night, and weighing fourteen
pounds. The baby is almost man in
size already, and will be so in brain ere
many summers pass, if he "takes after" his
father. We wish him a long and happy
life.
We were yesterday informed that our
prominent criminal lawyer-it is unneces-
sary to mention names-had left at the Of
flee of Squire Osborn, dPr the solution ofthc
bar of Cairo, Latin phrase. We would be
pleased to publish the same, so that the at.
torneys Of Cairo can put their heads to-
gether and decipher its meaning, and would
have done so this morning, but for our fail
ure to see the Squire yesterday. 1t is but
justice to the worthy gentleman, who pre-
sented the phrase, to-say that he knows its
meaning, and his object in asking for So
luton, is to test the legal ability of the
Cairo bar.
We learn from the members of the A. NJ.
f. church that they. have submitted prop
osition in writing to the vestry of the
Episcopal church for the purchase of their
church building on Fourteelth street
Should the proposition b. accepted the con
gregation of the Church of the Redcemer
will build substantial edtice nearer the |
center of the citv--somewhere IN the vlcin- |
ity Of Tenth and Washington, probably.
Mr.. Klein, of the brick yard, is now
a "stone." which is COM
posed principally of cement and promises
to revolutionize the sidewalk building bust
ness. We were yesterday shown one of |
these stones by Mr.. John Koehler who |
contemplatcs having the walk in front of
his house constructed of the same, and
found it not only the most substantial, but
also the handsomest material we have yet
seen for the building OF sidewalks. There
can be no question that the beauty
and durability of this stone,
combined with its cheapncss, will
sooQ make it universal favorite
The objection to plank walks, namely,
rotting, can not be urged against it; nor is
it liable to the objection urged against brick
walks, since it does not wear out as brick.
II is also superior to the much "bowed
over cinder walks, since it does not retain
the dusk but Is always clean. 1t is pity
that the manufacture OF this stone was not
commenced before the reconstruction of the
brick walk on Eighth street The walk
constructed ofths stone would have i'm
proved the appearance Of that street hun
dred per cent.
