FULL OF GOSSIP AND NEws.
Dear Bulletin:
How long it is since my last letter to you
lam sure | do not know why we, your
correspondents, stopped writing; but we
did, and now all at once Trim, true and
trusty, pops up his head and breaks the
silence with nice budget of news and an
efiectionate inquiry full of tenderness for
Mrs. d. Green. Think Of il; he at least
has not forgotten me Nice old Trim I
feel certain I'd know him IL should see
him come jogging through the lane to.mor-
row.
And now, may follow his example and
ask concerning Mrs. 5nobs, for whom en-
terrain an almost sisterly feeling' l
imagine I see her shake her cap frill aud
euergetically lay down half.hnished sock
to replace the shining needles with care
fully trimmed quill, and hastily jot down
bits Of news precious 10 herself and inter-

all, our poor little letters are as pleasing to
their readers as to their writer's, How We
will decide the query, do not know
though OF one thing we may be sure, they
are perfectly harmless, If nothing else.
I suspect that is more than can be said

JonesborO Gazette

Jonesboro Gazette:
Judge F. Bross, of Cairo, was in town
on Monday, looking well. His firm sup
plies druggists, and Others, with pure
liquors. He is is an honest man, and
would not be guilty of selling the "cheap"
poison, called whisky, with which unscru-
lous firms supply the doggeries of the
country. The judge is an old friend of
ours. Selling whisky is not his fort" as
ARENAS Ward would say, and we would
advise him to change his avocation. If
he could, however, induce the public to use
none but pure liquors, he would be doing
them great benefit. As long as liquors
are made they will be used. If they can
be made in this country without adultera-
ton, the same as in Germany and France,
where there is comparatively no drunken
ness, it would be of great benefit to the
people,"

THE MURDERER, GLINN.

HIS yERsIoN or now AND WHY HE KILLED
MOSES JusTus AS INFLATED TO A BuLLE-
TIN REPORTER YESTERDAY,
We yesterday called upon Anderson
Glenn, the murderer Of Moses Justus, with
a view Of obtaining his side of the story
concerning the killing, in which the public
ia more or less interested. We found him
lying on his cot in the cell and upon ac-
quainting him with the object of our visit,
he lazily arose therefrom and seated himself
on a stool, which stood near the cell door,
and appeared ready for talk. He is a
tall mulatto, Of medium build, small iea-
lures, and generally expressionless face, and
has ABOUT him that devil ,may-care manner,
which is characteristic of all steamboat
rousters
Harvey Willis, Moses Justus and | we're
walking along Commercial avenue, and had
just reached the corner of Fifth street, said
he, "when Justus asked me for q dime. !
refused to give it to him, when he COM
menced to kick me and abuse me. l then
told him that the money had was mine
and that was under no obligations to him
and would not give him the money. He
then kicked me off the sidewalk
aud after scuffling with HIM he tore away
from me and ran into one of the eating
houses near the corner, where he obtained q
butcher knife with which he was coming
towards me, when drew my knife to de
fend myself. When drew my knife hi
was standing in front of the house and see
ing that he was about TO stab ME, showed
him around and stabbed him in the back
Reportey-You intended to kill him1
Glinn--No; l didn't.
R.-Do you think you did right in kill
ing him.
G.-No; do not, and am sorry killed
him. But if l hadn't killed HIM he would
have killed me.
R.-You say you stabbed him but ono
in the back, How did he receive the stab
in the neck and breastl
G.-I don't know anything about them
didn't stab him in front, but only ono,
in the back
A.-Didn't you have your knife on
when scufiling with him!
| G.-No; did not; and didn't take it GU
until Justus came at me with butcher
knife.
R-Have you had any previous difficult,
| with Justusl
G.-No; none of any consequence. II,
threw rocks at me WHILE back of Scott
saloon, but we had no serious misunder
standing.
R,-You drew your knife on him on tina
occasionl
| G.-Yes.
Being questioned in regard to his re
latives and those of the man he he'd killed
he said:
"My home is in Eastern Virginia; have
father, mother and brothers living there
have known Justus for about year, bu
don't know whether he has relatives living
He was no particular friend of mine"

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

Two weeks from yesterday Christmas
the gayest and most joyous of all the holi-
days--wil be here, The trade promises to
be larger than usual. Already the stores
are thronged with eager purchasers. For
the next two weeks the advertising columns
of THE BULLETIN should be accepted as
general directory by those who wish to
purchase holiday goods. Our merchants
look forward to rich harvest, and there is
every indication that their anticipations
will be fully realized, for every clear day
the principal business thorough-fareS and
houses present most animated scene, be-
ing crowded with brightly-dressed ladies
and children in eager quest Of holiday
gifts. During the next two weeks the
country will pour into Cairo a constant
stream of those who make this their trading
point. All the stores are beginning to dis
play their holiday attractions and to
advertise the novelties of the season, and it
may be added that it is very apt to be the
newest and freshest advertisements of the
season that catch the eye of the customers.
From the finer qualities Of dress goods to
the charming eccentrcihes of bric-a-brac ;
from jewelry and silver and plated sets to
artistically decorated service of china and
porcelain; from fine editions OF books for
grown persons and picture books for the
younger generation to the daintiest Christ
mas cards and the innumerable devices in
toys; from some or others Of these presents
may be selected to suit all tastes, whether
tokens of affections or remembrance, or in
friendly recognition of services rendered,
or of sympathy with the deserving.
Above all other holidays, Christmas is the
season for liberal givings, for exchanging
courtesies, for open.handed hospitality, and
for acts of benevolence and charity. 1t is
the harvest of the holiday trade, prepared
Tor weeks and sometimes months before
hand, and looked forward to with more or
less solicitude by many trades people, in
the hope that the sales of the joyous season
will be large and leave tair balance Of
profit to round up the business of the year.
The indications are that if the weather
proves propitious these hopes will not be dis.
appointed, and that the close economies
which marked the purchase Of presents at
Christmas during the past four years, now
that business has revived and the pros.
poets of the future are bright, will
be succeeded by a more generous expendi'
turc. With good times come good spirits,
and with good spirits open purses to an ex.
tent compatible, let us trust, with that pro-
violence which should govern every head Of
household in dispensing gifts within his
own family and outside OF it. With good
weather customers will be continually
dropping in from this time from the coun.
