the yard without touching anything, but as
he entered the stable door he left the
wagon behind, a total wreck, the door being
too narrow for it to enter, Messrs. Y. 81
b. were compelled therefore to borrow
another wagon In order to be able to deiv-
er their goods
Another county heard from. The
'Bcnton Standard" of Benton, H., clips
the item recently published IN The Bull
LETIN about Mrs. Harriss, the hotel-beat
and "masher," and recognizes in her a
Mrs. Mat Sanders, who was probably
guilty of some devitry In that city. But
Cairo can congratulate herself on being rid
of her and owes the youth who so disinter-
estedly lent his services to get her away a
debt OF gratitude.
All our churches will point out the
way to virtue and to heaven to-day. All
our ministers are at their posts Of
duty and have prepared themselves
through the week just past to entertain
and instruct the people to-day; there is,
therefore, good reason to believe that the
food for thought furnished from the diff
ferent pulpits to-day will be abundant and
rich in quality. Everybody should grid
their loins and 90 to some one OF the houses
of God.
The Rev. DR.. Armstrong, Of Alton,
will be in Cairo near the close of this week
to assist in a series of meetings in the Pres
byterian church. His labors in other
places during the last year, have been very
highly appreciated and very successful.
He was tor many years pastor of the Pres
byterian church IN Alton, but gave up his
charge in order TO superntend the home
missionary work within the bounds of the
| synod of Illinois south. He will be ac-
companied, in his efforts, by Mr.. Douglas,
a layman, who is said to be very efficient
helper.
One case in Judge Olmsted's court
yesterday was all the police business trans
acted in the city. This was the case Of Mr.
Lawson, the man who, some time ago
while working under Mr. Hotchkss at one
of the pile drivers on the Cairo 4 Vincen-
mes incline below the city, got his hand
mashed He Gawsonl sued the contractor,
IIotchkiss, for damages in the sum of one
hundred dollars and the case was to be
tried by jury But after some reflection
the judge decided that he had no jurisdic
ton in the matter, and the case was dis
missed.
The boys Of the city are little too
bold of late in their plays. They gather IN
crowds upon the side walks and at the
street corners in the most populous portions
Of the city and throw tops and balls and
talk slang in manner that is calculated
not only to brighten horses but
to offend passers.by who have a right to be
exempt from such things Permit us to
call the attention OF the police to the prev
alance OF the small boy and to beg that
they provide themselves with single and
use 1t whenever occasion oflers-not to
MAIN, but to make all proper impression.
This would be fundamental reform.
In another column this morning will
be found the announcement Of Mr. Alfred
Comings as candidate for police magistrate.
Justice Comings is an old citizen of Cairo,
and is probably as well known to the voters |
Of the city as any man in Alexander coun-
ty. He has filled many offices of trust IN
an acceptable manner to his constituents,
is an educated gentleman which, with a |
good knowledge of law, will enable him, if |
elected, to administer justice as police |
magistrate fairly and impartlaly under all |
circumstances and in manner that will
never cause the people who elected him TO |
regret their choice.
County court commences in the court |
house tomorrow, Judge r. S. Yocum pre-
siding, and the most important cases that |

From the last issue of the Charleston |

several days ago, was occupied in one cor
