ing. The last case tried by it this tern
was that of States Attorney Damron,
against whom an information was filed
charging him with grevlous violation OF
the law governing the social evil; but he
was acquitted, at which he and all his

In the last issue of the Johnson County
Journal the following well deserved com.
pliment to one of our prominent citizens
appears "Mr, G, 0. Patier, of Cairo, was
in this place Tuesday. Mr.. p. is one of
the leading merchants in the city of Cairo.
He IS enterprlSing and energetic. He is a
stalwart republican and gIores in the name
He is one Of the immortal 30G, that stood
by that old hero and patriot, Grant, at CHI.
cago. He is of the true metal, and is fully
entitled to the large business the New York
store is commanding"
1t will, perhaps, be news to many of
our merchants aud people generally that an
order has been issued by the post master
general, changing the law as to the character
of mail, such as invoices, bills, circulars or
any other matter, WIDELY or in part writ. |
ten. Such matter is now classed as first
class mail matter and merchants, who
have been in the habit of sending invoices
prices current filled out in writing etc. to
any part of the country with one.cent
stamp, can do so no more and must govern
themselves accordingly.
We again call the attention Of the
voters of Cairo to the announcement Of
Henry Winter for the mayorship Of the city
Of Cairo. His administration for
TWO terms everybody, with an unbiased
mind, will admit was one of economy and
lecorum and better order prevailed than
Turing any previous administration; and
when the city was visited by scourges OF
he worst kind, ex.Mayor Winter was
ways found at the post of duty visiting
he sick and afflicted, burying the dead,
tc., that commanded the admiration and
'onder of his adversaries as well as of his
ricnds. We say this, in candor and Justice |
, the man, believing, if elected, he will
sithtully I'll the Office and discharge the I
