In our notice of the marriage OF Miss
Daisy Robbins yesterday, we inadvertently
wrote at the residence Of the brides
"tather." Itshould have been "brother," but
was over looked in the proof. The cere-
mony was performed at the residence of
Mr.. Will Robbins on Washington avenue.
The parents Of the bride reside in indie
pendence, Kansas.
--Paducah Enterprise: "Mr Robion
White left for Cairo Yesterday, where he
takes position in the freight office Of the
Mississippi railroad. Mr.. White is gen.
tleman of some ability and we wish him a
pleasant and profitable sojourn in his new
home. His former experience in the rail-
road business is sufficient recommendation
of ability to fill his position with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his employers"
The team of Jas. Sullivan scam
pered at breakneck rate for quite dis
lance through our streets Yesterday after
noon. The horse and wagon was standing
in front OF Eichoff's furniture store
on Commercial avenue being loaded with
furniture for delivery. The load was nearly
completed, and Mr.. Sullivan was just about
toput on portion of large bedstead when
the horse, becoming frightened, started
down Commercial avenue to Sixth, and up
that toward Ohio levee. The furniture was
scattered along the route Of the runaway,
but not much damage was done.
NThey are "done for" The cold weather
has killed them. We refer to the Cairo
mosquito, which we are willing to wager
any reasonable sum up ten cents, without
the fear of mourning libel suit, has, dur
ing the past few months, not only taken
"the cake" but the entire bakery. One of
our local mosquitoes could annoy an or
binary mortal exceedingly while dozen of
them could send him into spasms. Take
a right healthy Cairo mosquito and he can
suck all the blood out of man, eat all the
flesh off of his bones and chew up and spit
out his clothes and shoes in less time than
it takes to bulldoze an Alexander county
darkey into pledging himself to vote the
straight Republican ticket.
DR.. Gordon met with a bad accident
last Monday night. He was out in his
buggy visiting patient after dark; the
night was rainy and inky and as he was
driving up Tenth street toward Ohio levee,
being unable to see, he allowed the horse
to find his own way. The animal lost the
track and when near the levee, where the
old pump used to be, walked into deep
ditch at one side of the street, caused by
the plank supports giving way and allow
ing the earth to cave in. The horse fell
down, the buggy was nearly turned over
and the Dr. was rather suddenly and forci-
bly, thrown out and against the edge of the
sidewalk, bruising himself considerably.
He still suffers from the effects.
The case of the young man who re-
Gently wrote to Henry Ward Beecher, re-
commenting himself very highly as being
"honest" and closing with the request that
Mr. Beccher would procure him an "easy"
situation, that "honesty may be rewarded
furnishes text from which a number OF
good sermons might be preached. Too
many young men because they happen to
be honest, or because they possess a certain
amount of talent and education, think that,
by reason of these considerations, they
should at once be hoisted to positions Of
ease and influence by an appreciatative
public, without the slightest exertion on
their own part. They lose sight of the
fact that true success is the result only OF
earnest, continuous labor, and that the easy
positions-if easy they can be called-for
which they yearn so much, would be worth
less to their possessors unless they had
been obtained by years OF energetic appli-
cation and self-denying industry.
Florida is the only southern state
which the Republican managers have any
hope OF carrying tins fall. Relying upon
the statements of ex-senator Conver and
other Republican politicians Of the state,
they intend to send plenty of money and
some Of their best stump speakers there.
1t is more than probable, however, that
they are mistaken in their calculations.
Senator Jones, in an interview published
in the indianapolis Sentinel day or two
ago, SAID that there was no doubt that the
State would give majority, though not a
large one for Hancock aud English He
has lived in the state, he says, for thirty
years, and has correspondents in every
part of 1t. He has information which he
