Central train that leaves Cairo at o'clock
Saturday evening, does not go through to
Chicago. Passengers are carried through

Chicago, on the l2th, will probably be the
grandest demonstration ever witnessed on

wagons, two men on horse back and several
individuals on foot, at the ferry wharf,

thing Of daily occurrence, however, but it
shows what the road built few years ago

all Of the wagons we're bundles, barrels and
boxes Of groceries, dry goods, etc, that had
been purchased from our merchants and
grocers gentleman whose opportunities
for observation have been good, gives it as
his opinion that the single, cheap wagon
road in question has increased the retail
trade Of Cairo not less than fifty thousand
dollars a year. Can our citizens, or will
they, close their eyes upon this fact, and
