The Charleston Courier-Gazette has
been informed that "the fare between Cairo
and Paducah having been reduced to Is
cents, meals included, the daily average
trip out from Cairo, is five hundred pas
sengers. Citizens make the trip because it
is cheaper to travel than to stay at home.

Constable Pink McAllister, for false i'm
prisonmcnt, came on for hearing before
Squire Comings, yesterday. McAllistcr
confessed that he was not ignorant of the
fact that he had no bond on file when he
arrested Cox; but insisted that his neglect
to file one was not because of any purpose
to evadc or defy the provisions of the law.
Continued sickness in his family required
almost his constant attention, leaving him
little time for anything else. The defence
wasably conducted by lawyer Cunningham.
The defendant was held to bail in the sum
