we cannot hope for fortune if we sleep the
morning hours away
The Bulletin is right, day is indeed
breaking--for Cairo. After years
OF too patent waiting--years of darkness,
during which home enterprise slumbered
and dreamed of the glories the future
should bring forth, all Of itself, without
any effort on the part Of the citizens, the
day has suddenly broken upon Cairo-the
day that, it is to be hoped, may advance
rapidly, from bright morning to glorious
noon, but never end again in the gloom
from whence it so tardlly sprung. But the
day came not of ltself--it was compelled
to come. The light of truth forced the
gloom away, showing to the
world outside Cairo's many Advantages.
To remove the prejudice existing against
Cairo; to induce men of means, even to con-
slder Cairo as among number of cities
Offering peculiar advantages for investment
to finally COMPEL recognition of those
advantages above those offered by any other
city in the United States, was not small
work, and ii it took years to accomplish it,
the reward promises to be equal to the
efforts expended. Cairo is now advancing
rapidly on the highway of permanent pros
perity. All the signs are in favor of
speedy and lasting growth, both in
wealth and population, and those
who never make wild predictions and who
may be regarded as competent judges of
the signs of the times, say, that within
eight years. fifty thousand people will call
Cairo their home. If Bloomington would
have boom such as Cairo is now enjoy
ing, her men OF means must do as Cairo's
men of means have done l. e. awake, unlock
their Golfers; bring forth their gold; build
street railways, opera houses, hotels, BUM
ness houses and residences; thus will she
attract outside capitalists, and then, if she
possesses any natural advantages, such as
Cairo has above any other city in the
Union, she may rest assured Of a grand
business revival.
