John Sackburger is fifty years old to-
day. BY way of celebrating the event he
will spread bounteous lunch at his home,
at s o'clock in the evening, and to this
lunch he cordially invites all Of his old
friends. Having reached his half hun
bred years, he wants to take all his old
friends by the hand, talk over old times,
and have few hours of genuine enjoyment.
He invites his old friends only, and expects
them all to come.
The Paducah News says Cairo scien-
fist has been among the growing corn, and
has been told by the thick coating of husks
about the ears, that the coming winter will
be an unusually cold one-that the Missis-
sippi will freeze deeper and remain frozen
longer than for years. If that observant
philosopher will call upon us and reason us
into his way of thinking we'lput his name
down on the arrearage bounty list We
want the assurance that the germs are GO
ing to have "a rough time of it.
While the funeral train was ascending
the deep cut, on its return from Villa
Ridge, Thursday, hat was seen to 90
overheard. Instantly boy about twelve
years of age plunged after it. As soon as
possible the train was brought to halt,
everybody expecting to see the lad brought
aboard seriously injured, if not dead In
stead OF that, however, those who looked
out of the window down the track, saw the
urchin, with an extra hat in his hand, ohas-
ing the train at the top of his speed, and APP
parently as sound as dollar.
The colored wood-sawyer, who sports
peg leg, an who is an eminently success
full dead beat in a small way, found his
way to Squire Roblnson'S Office, yesterday,
and expressed desire to sue somebody.
He didn't know the name of the man he
wanted to sue; but it was the man who
promised him two dollars and halt if he
would vote for him. lie had voted for the
man according to agreement, but all the
time since the April election had elapsed,
and still the $3.50 had not been handed
over. Poor man, The city should make
it good to him.
If mosquitoes don't reason why is it
that when one is writing they invariably
"go for the hand that holds the pen or pen
Gil! They seem to argue, and correctly
too, that the writer cannot disturb them
without stopping his writing, and that, as
consequence, they are often permitted to
gorge themselves without annoyance. Our
right hand is as raw as fresh-cnt beef
steak, while our left doesn't show pune
ture. If that fact doesn't argue that mos
quitoes reason, it certainly indicates the
possession of an instinct that is splendid
substitute for discretion.
Louis Grammer, y colored man who has
an oblique cast Of the Ohio, and who IS not
at all progressing otherwise, came to
Cairo some time ago as tramp. Shiftless
and quarrclsome he finally became an in
tolerablc nuisance. Yesterday afternoon,
fresh from the scene of one ofhis hotly con-
tested verbal battles, he was taken before
Squire Robinson, and developing there into
full-hcdged yagrant, he was fined $50
and costs That the city may be rid Of his
presence the Squire gave him a stay until
10 o'clock this morning, by which time he
is to render himself conspcuously absent
George Chendler, who was sent to the
pcnltcntiary from this city something over
a year ago, on charge Of larceny, is again
in Cairo, and proposes to stay here. He
protests most vehcmently, we hear, that he
is innocent of the crime for which he has
suffered, and will not leave the city until he
conylnces the people of his innocence, and
that he paid the penalty Of crime com
mittcd by some other person. AS he is a
young man, having the greater part of liic
before him, we hope he may succeed in his
purpose. II he really is innocent it is worth
years of his time and effort to show it, and
we commend the spirit that brings him
back here ON such mission.
