and Brother Business" are, so fer as our
knowledge extends, the only two worthless
of the stripe mentioned who survive.
Mr. Dick Fitzgeralds term as coroner,
and Mr.. T. W. Halliday's term as county
commissioner, expire at the coming cleo
ton. They have both made the best Of
officers Mr.. Fitzgerald has saved the
county much money and been as efficient
an officer as the county has ever had OF
Mr.. Halliday it is unnecessary to speak.
His work in the interest Of the people of
Alexander county has been too great and
too VIGOROUSLY beneficial to escape the no.
tice of even the simplest and most obscure
being in the county, We earnestly hope
that both gentlemen will consent to being
reelected.
--Cairotes, lately returned from Dixon
Springs, speak in the highest terms Of the
management, location, Dir, water, etc, etc.,
of that delightful refuge from summer heat,
There are at present only about sixty guests
at the springs, but engagements have been
made, that during the month of August
will increase the number to more than one
hundred and fifty, 1t is gay party now
assembled there, and every provision has
been made for amusement. Croquet,
archery, and rambles among the rocks and
over the cool hills, with profuse drinking of
the health-giving water, makes the days
pass rapidly and the nights are sandwiched
between, with dancing and music. Take
the Cairo and Vincennes train TO Vienna
it is only short drive across to the Springs
from that station.
The ordinances of the city concerning
the gathering up of garbage and general
kitchen otfal requires that citizens shall
place all ofal in vessels at their front gates
or some other place within handy reach of
the garbage gatherer, But this is not con
venient to everybody and, perhaps, not the
best thing to do, since hogs and cows are
permitted 10 roam about our streets. 1t is
customary, therefore, with most of our cit
liens to keep their otfal in the yard and
await the call of the gathering cart In
this way some may be accidentally skipped
and find fault with the driver who is really
not to blame. The health aficer takes all
responsibility of this character upon him
self, and if notified Of any neglect on the
part OF the scavanger, will promptly see TO it,
that the wrong is righted After to-day
bell will be attached to the garbage
wagon aud if people will be a little atten-
tive themselves, they will have no reason
to complain.

between Being personally acquainted
with him we speak from knowledge Of
the mau when we say that he possesses but
little learning and an incalculable amount
of brass. He talks in rampant and dis
connected manner on all sensible subjects,
and relates vulgar story in capital way.
The smutter the story is, with greater rel
lsh does he roll 1t under his tongue and the
oftener does he repeat it. Those of our
people who have had the misfortune to
come in contact with him, know that we
tell the truth IN this regard. While in con-
gress he distinguished himself as a know

cured the passage Of single measure by
which the people Of Southern Illinois
could directly or indirectly be benefited, |
During all the time he was in con-
gress when in session he made but one

There is slight misunderstanding be-

sidewalks are to be built, Surveyor
rhrupp has,as is known, commenced gravel

ut did not inform Mr. Trupp 50 until after
he work had proceeded to some extent.
Mr.. Thrupp then, for lack of authority to
