The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-03-31


will soon enable us to throw open our sewers
and rid ourselves of the obnoxious presence
of our sipe- water. Rank vegetation has com
menced springing up under the water;
which would, in a few weeks more, create a
most prolific source of miasm as soon as
subjected to exposure to the air.
On Saturday next an election will be
held at the Eleventh street school house, to
choose two member of the board of educa-
ton. to succeed Messrs. Fisher and Thistle
wood whose terms of service are about to
expire. Both gentlemen have shown them
selves faithful and conscientious school Off
GERS, and should they permit the use of
their names again there can scarcely be any
doubt of their election.
And even staid and sober Carbondale
is given to fondness for verbal smut and
shapely female ankles. The Observer OF
recent date, contains the following:
'The May Fisk Blondes exhibited last
evening at Murphysboro. A special train
went over from Carbonate, packed solid,
to enjoy the rare treat of refined eXhibi-

We invite a careful reading Of the
article, published elsewhere, from the New
Orleans Times. 1t deals ably and etfec-
lively with Cairo's possibilities in connec-
ton with the grain trade Of the future, and
shows how st. Louis does not possess SIN
Gle advantage for the handling and ship
ping of grain that is not possessed in a
more eminent degree by Cairo. Further
more the spirit that permeates the article
is most friendly to Caro-, and can scarcely
fail to have a good effect 1t will at least
awaken thought on the subject with which
it deals, if not action
The Cairo Argus, of Monday, speaks
thus of Mr.. Oberly; Hon. John H. Oberly
is likely to have considerable strength in the
Democratic state convention, as a candi-
date for governor, and 1t is quite within the
range of possibilities that he may be nomi'
mated Many of the old-line Democrats
do not deem his Democracy sufficiently re
liable and stalwart, yet tins fact, it is
thought, would strengthen him in the cleo
ton In a presidential year he would poll
the vote of his party entire, and it is
claimed that his liberality and personal
popularity would enable him 10 draw large
ly from the independent and liberal Repub.
lican vote"
