The funeral of Mr. Geo. Christman
took place yesterday afternoon. The ser
wees were conducted by Rev. B. y. George
IN the Presbyterian church at o'clock,
and the procession then moved up 10 the
tram at the foot of Eighth street, bound
for Villa Ridge, where the remains were
inferred. Mr. Christman is a brother Of
Mrs. {. R. Woodward. He was born near
ST. Louis in this state; was left an orphan
at an early age; was cared for by his uncle,
Geo. Christman, near Louisville, Ky, I'M
til he was seventeen years Old when he
went TO St. Louis, No. Here he married
and resided several years. Leaving 81.
Louis, he came here and has been uni
versally respected citizen of Cairo for
eighteen years A wife and five children
four boys and one girl-and numerous sin
cere friends, mourn his sudden death.
The ferry boat Three States will make
extra trips to Kentucky and Missouri to-
morrow evening, in order to give all who
may desire 70 take part IN the procession
tomorrow night an opportunity to do So.
She will also 60 to Mound City, leaving
there at $50 clock pm, and will return
ell she brings TO their respective landings.
Ii is to be hoped that great number of
strangers will be in the city to take part in
the procession and that it will be the
largest gathering of its kind in this city
during the present campaign. Our own
Democrats should not stand back on
this occasion as they have heretofore
done. There is no reason why Cairo
should not turn out one thou
sand Democratic voters. II is expected
that every Democratic voter, be he mer-
chant, tailor, baker, mechanic, laborer,
artist, or anything else, will muster up suf-
fcient patriotism to take part in the de-
monstration. A number of our best Demo
Gratis, who are engaged in the various
avocations, have not manifested the proper
interest in these public gatherings, and il
is to be hoped that these will now make up
for past neglect and show themselves to be
worthy Of their share OF the peoples soyer-
eighty by using their influence in the inter.
est of good constitutional government
Let every Democrat in the city carry a
torch tomorrow night.
