The Sunday Bourbon, published and
edited by Phocion Howard, at Springfield,
ILL.,, made its appearance in the BULLETINS
sanctum yesterday, II is entirely superfuous
to tell those who know Phocion that the
Bourbon is an excellent paper, excellent in
appearance and in the character, quantity
and style of its contents. II is an eight
column folio, with patent inside. In poll
tics it is what its name implies-to use its
own words, ian old-fashioned, states rights,
democratic newspaper" II meets ably
great public want and therefore The Bull
LETIN wishes it unbounded success.
--Phocion Towards Sunday Bourbon
says: "The Halliday brothers, of Cairo,
are now happy. Heretofore they were like
the young man who made visit of enquiry
to our Savior and was told that he lacked
just one thing. The Halliday boys had
banks and tugs and mills and railroads
and stores, but no hotel. So they bought
them one. The Cairo BULLETIN prints the
picture, and it is handsome one. The
Halliday house is to be a second Leland"

Deputy Shcriffs Morse and Downing arrest
ted negro named Thomas Biggs who had
stolen a watch from another negro named
Thomas Dugan. When the officers and
their prisoner had gone some distance to-
ward the county Jail the latter sudden"
broke loose and ran. The officers gave
chase and fred their pistols, but without In
timidating the fugitive. Deputy Morse
finally caught up with him and then
began scufle in which first one
and then the other had the advantage
When Deputy Downing came up, the ne
gro was making powerful effort to wrench
Deputy Morse's pistol from his hand. A
blow over the eye from Downings fist
caused the negro to surrender and also
caused the blood to flow down his face, and
he was taken to the jail without further
trouble.
The first car load of lumber for the
of the Dixie Cotton Seed Oil COM
pany, arrived Friday, and five more cars
were expected to arrive yesterday. Messrs.
Lancaster and Rice, who have the contract |
tor furnishing all the material, expect that
work on the buildings will be begun with
IN few days. The principal cause of delay
is that the track Of the Narrow Gauge rail- |
road isnow running over one corner of the |
square upon which the largest building is |
to be erected. The RAILROAD company has |
the question of removing its track under
advisement and will probably decide it in
favor of the Oil Company. II it does, and |
the track Is removed, the largest building
of the Oil Company, which has been laid |
out at eighty.eight feet long, will be built
one hundred feet long with atweve foot |
platform, making the whole one hundred |
and twelve feet in length.
