The gallant little Cairo and Paducah
packet, jim Fisk, made her last trip to this
city yesterday. Tomorrow she goes up the
Mississippi river to a point somewhere
above st. Louis, where she will be employ
ed in towing logs and lumber. Since en-.
tering the Cairo and Paducah trade the
Fisk has made over two thousand six hun
bred trips, and has stood some of the
toughest tumbling ever given a steamboat"
The steamer T. T. Hillman, Capt, AM
brose will take the Fisks place until the
new boat comes out. The Hillman will
make her first trip tomorrow, and will
continue in the business for two or three
weeks.
We have heard much complaint of
late about the rapid rate of speed at which
trains are permitted to run within the city
limits, and we were not aware Until the other
day that there is no city ordinance reguIat-
ing the number of miles at which trains
may move. At late session of the legisla-
ture law was enacted giving cities the
right to restrict the running Of passenger
trains to rate OF speed OF not less than
ten miles an hour, and freight trains to not
less than six miles an hour. The passage
of this law did away with the ordinance in
force at the time of its enactment, and the
city council has not since taken any action
with reference to the matter We suggest
that an ordinance regulating the running of
trains be adopted at once. and that they be
restricted to the slowest speed possible un
der the state law.

Jackson county has three candidates,
either of whom would be willing to bet his
"last red" that HE is just the man that
could represent this district in the state
senate Just little better than either of the
other gentlemen. w. A. Lemma of Car
bosdae, j. B. Mayham, of MurphysborO,
and T T. Robinson are the aspirants, and
the contest to secure the instructions from
the county convention is lively with the
chances about equal all around. We sug-
gest that the best way to settle this squad
| bic is for Alexander county to assert her
claim to the senatorship, and put Hon. d..
Il. Linegar forward as the proper man to
represent us IN the senate. This plan would
at least relieve Messrs Lcmma, Mayham
and Robinson Of anxiety in the premises,
and at the same time give Us m excellent
man in the senate.
Smith Bros, the popular grocers, corn
er of Thirteenth and Poplar streets, have
added a new feature to their establishment,
They have Just about completed the filling
and fencing of new wagon yard for the
accommodation Of their country patrons.
The yard is large, and supplied with shelter
for wagons and stall room and feeding facl
lities for horses. The proprietors will
within a few days put in new drive well,
when their yard will be the yard Of all
yards Of its kind in the city. We under
stand that this firm contemplates the cree
ton of two.story brick on their lots at the
corner of Thirteenth street and Washington
avenue, the new building to join the one in
which they now do business, thus giving
them one of the largest and most commo-
dious business houses in the city. The
