he thought, that the world kept moving
about under his feet-in other words, it was
drunk, John agreed with THE BULLETIN
in that it claimed that the street crossings
are too narrow, but he went further and
uttered lmprecations against the city
council and the street committee for
building the sidewalks too narrow also.
But the officers ascribed his woes to whisky
and took him before Judge Olmstcd who
fined him two dollars and costs and all
because John wasn't acrobat enough to

Cairo Steeet Railway Company.

The undersigned COrporators OF SAID
company respectfully represent that they
have long appreciated the want-if not the
necessty-ot a street railroad IN this city.
Therefore, that such road might be built,
we in conformity with the state law applied
for charter. not for the purpose OF secur-
ing franchise to dispose of for pccunlary
gam, but that road may be constructed
hence nocharge for the franchise. 1t is
our desire that the stock shall be solely
owned and controlled by our citizens.
Having complied with both state and city
laws and obtained the right of way by
unanimous vote of the city council, we now
offer the stock to citizens in any amount
from one share upwards The capt.
tai stock is $4,000, divided into
shares of $500 each; as the length OF
road will not cost 100000 to build and
equip it, we propose to dispose of no more
stock at present than will be necessary to
complete it, rcscrving the remainder of
stock until such time as it may be needed
for extending the road. The undisposed
of stock cannot participate in dividends
until sold and paid up, We hope that
sufficient of the stock will soon be taken
to Justify the letting of contracts, so as the
road NAV be completed and in operation
within a few months For information or
