The voting absorbed the interest OF the en-
tire assemblage and created much merri-

each one of those necessary but hard-to-
be.kept articles of human comfort: Jno.
Hodges, for sheriff; Alexander II. Irwin,
for circuit clerk; j. NJ Danron, for states
attorney; and Thos W. Halliday, tor
county commissioner. This tells how the
wind blows in that section of the county.

For the benefit of all whom it may
concern we make mention of the fact
that the CAIRO and Paducah packet, Gus
| Fowler no longer carries the United States
mail-she having turned that profitable
and unpleasant job over to the Cairo and
Evansville packets Of which there are now
three in the trade. They are the E. c.
Davis, the Idlewild and Cook. Formerly
the Idlewld and Arkansas Belle were the
only through boats from this city to Evans
VILE. and they arrived here but once a
week, but now, since the company has put
three boats in the trade, there is down
boat from Evansville every day in the week,
except Monday, and persons desiring to
visit towns or cities above the festive city Of
Paducah can do so without laying over
there and having their morals corrupted.
This being thus, the passenger trade of the
Fowler will be considerably reduced, since
she will be patronized only by those who
desire to visit paducah or some burg this
side of that place
WIN Stern is Mound City saloon
keeper of the Radical persuasion whom
God Almighty has endowed with more
prejudice than common sense and who re-
fused to be patronized by his Democratic
fellow men on the occasion of the free
Democratic bar becue held at Mound City
on Thursday last. We are told that this
lover of Garfield and hater Of Democrats,
although he had untold numbers Of filled
bottles and beer kegs in his possession,
closed his shop at four o'clock in
the afternoon, swearing that no Demo
crat should patronize this establishment, il
he knew it. The Democrats who were
temperate to a man, we're not at all incon
venienced by this freak of Mr.. Stern and
regarded him as the child which threw
away It's bread in pet and went to bed hun
