Editor Bulletin:
Last week, Mr.. Suits, with his nam.
moth star company Of theatrical perform
ers, struck Dongola, and for several nights
we had splendid performances on the
stage. The order of the week, was laugh
and grow fat Their plays were tirst.class
and we can but wish them success
wherever they go.
Now, wnile we do not expect to write for
The BULLETIN, politically, We hope the
kind editor will not think IT out of place.
to let US speak favorable word for our
man, NJ. V. Ussery. Alderman, Of the
Carbonate Observers awfully wrapped up
in Mr.. Lemma, for our senator, and be

out a man in the Fiftieth district.
He thinks the district hopelessly Demo.
cratic on account pf the large majority in
Union county. We have informed Mr..
Alderman, that Ussery, if he gets the nom.
ination, will knock that 100 majority. in
Union county, right end ways While we
doubt not that Mr.. Lemma, is good man,
we cannot concede that he can come in the
same field with Mr. Ussery, as a tiuancicr.
SO we wish to urge it on our Republican
brethren, to give US NJ V. Ussery.
The hum Of the thresher is again heard
in our vicinity, and we are able to report
the new crop of wheat just splendid.
As Dongoa is called the Onion Town"
of Southern Illinois, we are also able TO re-
port that crop good, and l.. T.
Bonacna is buying and sending
them to Chicago, by the thousands of
bushels, the revenue, thereupon, running
up into the thousands Of dollars.
Reader, if YOU want to get rich, come into
the vicinity OF Dongola, and buy few
acres Of our rich soil and go to work and
the thing IS soon accomplished.
Our fat mans house has got well Of the
big head, and he now makes weekly trips
to Cairo to sell the citizens the products of
Union county soil. He is the largest man
engaged in hauling produce to Cairo and
peddling it ont on the streets. So, gay
Cairotes, when you see him enter your
city, 90 to him at once, for he once owned
u Ratchet, and Of course he cannot, nav
will not, tell you lie.
Our old friend Z. Cuhl has moved
back to Dongola and taken his
old mill in hands. So look
out soon for some mighty fine
-four. He never found the man that sold
him the recipe for making wind pud-
ilngs," so he has made up his mind to
come back to bread pudding Success to
Cuhl.
Our Dongola merchants are all doing
lively business selling goods, every one of
hem wearing smile two thirds of the
way round his face. Eddleman Il Sons,
wear the broadest smile because, in addi-
ion to their line of dry goods, they have
'o!d some three dozen of the celebrated
Mccormick reapers. Our doctors, God
bless them, they look sad, because for three
ong years the people have refused to get
lick.
Mr. A. Hight, OF Wetaug, is making ar
angements with thirty families of Bene.
lictlnes to settle on some of his
ich lands joining Wetaug. They
ire all rich, and reside
low, in Pennsylvania. When they arrive
n Egypt it will be quite grand help in
bringing out "Egypt's" resources.
We learn to-day that, Samuel J. Tilden
las refused to allow his name in the Dem
,cratic convention. In such case the
Democrats may reasonably hope for success
his time. If Mr.. Tiden's friends do drop
him then the convention may get along

,ans had at Chicago-"Old Trim got
BADLY beat in losing U. s. Grant. He is
lwful sore over it, But one consolation,
In the language of the Globe-Democrat,
THE gods were for Grant but the conven-
