The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-12-28

negro lips; every iieudIsh yell came
from negro throat, and every gross dis
turbance of the peace can be
traced to the fact that cheap
rum aroused the bad blood in negro
veins. We will not deny that some whites
also gave way to temptation and were occa
sionally seen, singly and in small crowds.
moving IN loose way about the streets or
lounglng around corners, but we did not
hear of a single disturbance of any kind or
of any case Of indescent behavior Of which
they were guilty. This much must be said
in favor Of the drunken whites.
The telephonc is now permanent es-
tablishment in our city, and one which
will soon be as indispensable in the trans
action Of business and social intercourse
as is the tongue itself. 1t is certainly
blessing which none would be without
after having once become acquainted with
its advantages. 1t is not yet in
thorough working order with
all who have subscribed to
it, but by the end of another
week all will be in readiness for communi-
cation with any portion of the city About
ninety-fve instruments have 50 far been
put up, being about sixty more than the
managers of the system expected to have
use for in tins city, About ten subscribers
have, until now, been placed in commune
cation with one another and these are hav-
ing great deal of amusement out of it.
But as the novelty of the thing wears
off It's use will be Of
a more serious nature generally, and
it is then that those who can avail them
selves of it will discover its real value and
learn to appreciate it, In conclusion We
will say that we shall feel ourset under
obligations to anyone who will communi-
cate to us any little item Of news--or big
one either--that will be likely to interest
the public. The arrival or departure of
your friends or relatives; the particulars Of
social events such as sociablcs, club meet
ings, parties etc, etc, will be thankfully
received by us at any time from seven
o'clock a. m. to twelve o'clock at night. Our
number is fifteen and any call through the
general office will receive our attention.
The Vienna Times says: "The Cairo
BULLETIN facetiousy asserts that II. G.
Carter, of Mound City, is dead, and that its
editor is "almost persuaded" to take passage
with him in the good old "Ship of Zion"
for the promised land. Carter is either
dead or not dead; but living or dcad-TnE
BULLETIN sends out the funniest obituary
notice of friend Carter we ever read after,
but if the two were only dead-drunk,
that explains the justification" That any
Journal we care not how high it stands,
should have the presumption to question
the truthiulness Of any Of The BULLETINS
statements, is an exhibition Of such col
lossel cheek as has never before been heard
Of in history, either ancient or modern,
sacred or protane. Twelve hours before
we announced the death Of Mr.. Carter that
gentleman had the good sense of turning
his toes 10 the dasies in the most approved
style-requesting at the same time
that only The BULLETIN should announce
his departure for the New Jerusalem. SO
far as the insinuation in the last sentence of
the above IS concerned we need but say
that, never having formed the acquaintance
OF Mr.. John Barleycorn or any Of his rela-
tives, it was only by the most desperate
efforts that We prevented the Reform Club
of this city from elevating us TO its presi-
dental chair. So far as Mr.. Carter is con-
cerned we need but give publicity to the
fact that with our own hands we adorned
his vest with red ribbon--shortly before
he died.
