The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-03-27

Walnut street sidewalk, near the colored
school building, yesterday forenoon, and
but for the convenient presence of a couple
of boys, would undoubtedly have drowned.
The little thing was frightened to the very
verge Of commissions.
That most shameless and villainous of
all modern small-souled impostcrs, Rev. Jo-
seph T. lnman, still finds space in num-
Der of respectable newspapers for his "card
to the afflicted That his repeated expos
ures have not retired his name from the
public eye, is matter of some astonish-
ment to newspaper readers generally.
Don't forget that the rarest of opportu-
mites for social enjoyment and rational
recreation, will be furnished by the Phan-
tom ball to be held in Washington hall,
next Monday evening. Tickets, which are
only fifty cents each, can be had of any of
the parties heretofore named in THE BULLE-
TIN; but the pleasure and mirth can be
found nowhere but at the party.
Having, after much inquiry, assured
ourselves Of the truth of the report, we
now venture upon the announcement that
Mr.. Ambrose Pyatt is the happy father of a
fine girl baby. We congratulate him,
cordially, since the fact announced mani
tests laudable determination on his part
to atone, in numbers, what his family may
lack in bodily bulk or physical stature.
Contemplating tie success that has at
tended cheap excursions on our railroads the
Jonesboro Gazette suggests that the rail
roads traversing southern Illinois might,
with profit to themselves as well as to the
public reduce the passenger fare to three
cents per mile The Illinois Central has,
we understand, already determined to adopt
the three cent rate.
"A personal encounter occurred on the
steamer James Howard, about o'clock
last night, between jim Brooks and the
chambermaid, both colored The cham
bermaid gave James a belt over the eye
with a sad iron, inhicting an ugly but not
dangerous fracture. The bloody head was
skillfuly dressed, shortly afterwards, by
one cur physicians.
The members of the Delta fire compa-
ny, who have engineered some Of the most
delightful reunions ever held in Cairo, will
give their regular semi-annual ball in their
hall, on Thursday evening" April Sth. Sup
per will be served in the engine room, and
every preparation necessary to render
the affair most enjoyable and successful
one, will receive due attention. Remember
this, and hold yourselves in readiness to
share in the festivities.
-Atthe expense of that variety which
is held to be 1.-THE spice OF life and which
we know is the spice of newspaper, we
surrender space, to-day, for the opinion of
j
diction involved in the contested election
case between Rttenhouse and Linegar in
stituted in our county court last spring.
The,opinion settles question of some con.
sequence, and one that will not prove de.
void of interest to our readers generally.
Fred Koeher & Bro, always up to the
demand Of the market and the times hayo
supplied their meat shop on Eighth street
with the choicest Of spring lambs, the very
finest mutton and the tenderest and iuciest
beef 10 be found on sale in Caro- |
Koehler & Bro. make it point to keep
the best OF everything in their line, and
to inform the public Of the fact through
the local columns of The BULLETIN
The judgment Of the county court in
the bastardy case against James Mott (and |
from which judgment he has taken an APP
peaD is to the effect that Mott shall pay, for
the support Of the child, one hundred dol
lars for the first year, dating from the birth |
Of the child. For the ensuing nine years he
is required to pay fifty dollars year, all in
quarterly installments, and he is further
ruled to security for the payment Of the
money. The case was appealed to the cir
cult court.
But little interest has been manifested, |
as yet, in the contest for the Office of pc.
lice magistrate. 1t is important to Cairo
that this Office be filled by sensible and
incorruptiblc man-one who can bring his
prciudces into subsection to his Judgment |
and one in whose personal integrity the
people feel M mistaken confidence. TO |
the election Of such man, or, to the cleo
ton Of the best man who may announce
himself, The BULLETIN proposes, ut the
proper time, to bend its energies.
