The Garfield Bon Ton club received
their suits yesterday afternoon. The outfit
consists of lamp with glass globe enclosed
IN tin frame presenting the form Of a bal
lot box. The globe bears the inscriptions
"a pure ballot box" The whole is perched
upon pole ten feet long. The suits con-

a red white, and blue feather in the center

Parties recently returned from Dixon
Springs speak in glowing terms of that de-
lightful summer resort. The waters are
Chalybeate, with just enough iron in its
composition to make an excellent tonic and
appetizer. The mountain scenery sur
rounding the springs is unsurpassed in
beauty and varity. The atmosphere is
pure, cool and bracing in the hottest
weather. Just the thought of this is
enough to make all sweltering Cairo
humanity drop business and everything
that would hinder, to hurry away to this
valleyin the mountains and its refreshing
shades. The proprietor Of the springs,
Mr.. j . R. Brown, has reduced the price of
board to $500 per week, which is really
cheaper than staying at home. We under
stand a party of Cairo people will be made
UP and will leave for the springs by way Of
Vienna on the Cairo and Vincennes rail-
road next Thursday or Friday morning.
This is the better way to do as a party OF
friends make the stage trip from Vienna
pleasanter, and what is quite an item
cheaper We are requested to ask that
the names of persons desiring to JON the
party. be left at this office, tomorrow.

attributed to him, to the effect that colored
men refusing to pledge themselves TO vote
the straight Republican ticket were
to be reported to him. But it is said
by some BY way Of detracting from
the force OF the threatening words, that
Robarts was only in fun-that it was only
