--Cairo's attraction and town talk now
is the celebrated Saltwater beer which Chas.
Pftferling has but lately introduced in
our midst It meeting with sale equalled
by none other, and has well maintained its
excellent reputation as superior beverage
with the hundreds who daily visit Char
ley's resort. To the responding it gives
new hope and from his heart drives out
dull sorrow, and inspires new arts. Even
the oppressive grasp of poverty, it doth
enlarge and bid the soul be free. And It's it
that makes glowing fancles gid the soul
and life an endless treasure. Surely
It's "hard to beat"
The Argus of last night contains the
following among its Pulaski county items,
concerning Mr.. J. c. Willis, who is well
known here: "The news came here Thurs
day by parties direct from Metropolis, that
Col. c. Willis was shot there late the
night previous in the yard of the boarding
house of Mrs. Yost, widow of the late w.
j. Yost, by boarder in the house. As
there had been some burglaries committed
there of late, the boarder mis-
took Mr.. Willis for burglar,
and shot him before discovering his
mistake. The wound is not a very serious
one, but will lay him up for some time. 1t
is from pistol shot, which took effect in a
leg near the knee. Col. Willis is well
known throughout Southern Illinois, he
having been Collector of Internal Revenue
for this district during a number OF years
past, and he will have the sympathy of his
numerous friends in his misfortune, while
they will rejoice that his injury is not of a
more serious nature
Our fellow-citizen, Mr. J. G. Lynch, in
writing to friend of his here gives some
facts about himself which will probably be
Of interest to all his friends in Cairo. We
make the following extract from his Letter:

We would not detract one iota from
the personal character of Mr.. Damron, the
Republican candidate for states attorney,
but candor compels us to say and compels
every person to say, who is acquainted with
him that while he is an agreeable young
man, he does not possess the qualifications
necessary to fill the Office. True, he has
not been blessed with an opportunity, since
he has been among US, to give an exhibit
ton of what is in him, but one cannot help
being impressed, by his school. boy ways
and talk, with the idea that he has never
given serious thought to his profession and
that his lack of experience would make
him the laughing stock Of our court room.
1t is true, he has been admitted to the bar,
but so has Justus Cunningham, and this
only shows that he was capable of replying
