combination will be here on next Tuesday
and Wednesday nights March ED and 23d,
and our people will be treated as they have
never been before. 1t Is the best and
largest company that travels, having sever
al new features and special attractions in
the performance. Prices of admission are
only twenty-five and thirty.fve cents. Mr..
De Grath, the agent of the company, was
here yesterday, making arrangements for
its arrival.
Crockett, the desperate, has certainly
escaped, or been released. The rumor as
reported in yesterdays BULLETIN was
strengthened yesterday by the affirmation
of MI Vim. Creighton, who keeps hotel
at Birds Point and who claims that the
man lodged at his house over night before
last and ate breakfast with him yesterday
morning. He was arrested on the testi
mony of one Roberts, who was caught and
tried some time ago and who confessed to
having been engaged in showing the
queer at the same time duplicating
Crockett How this man Crockett made
his escape is not known, butthe suggestions
generally expressed here and over the
river are not very favorable to the officers
who had him in charge. However lightly
the escape of this man may be regarded by
people here--it is certain that, in Missis-
sippl county, No, it is looked upon as a
calmity by all good citizens, for it is firmly
believed that all who had any hand in his
capture, or even INDUCED in cxultation over
it, are not safe now that he is free again.
Mr.. John S. Campbell, a member of
the large aud wealthy cotton seed oil com
pany, whose factory burned down at Hick-
man some time ago, was in the city yester-
day and the day before, looking at the city
and consulting with some of our prominent
citizens, with view to determining upon
a good location for the company's next
mill. He was favorably impressed with
the city and we have no doubt, but that his
attention was called to all
Cairo's natural and other advantages as
a commercial point. 1t is his desire to
get a location for the mill that will be
within easy reach either from the river or
the railroads, and as such he seemed to
favor the lots lying on the east side of
Commercial avenue between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets, where they would have
the Illinois Central railroad on one side and
the Cairo and VIncennes on the other, and
the Ohio river also very near at
hand. Other cities have not
stood IDLY by when they learned that the
oil company was seeking another location
for their large establishment. Union City
offered to donate to them the taxes on their
property for ten years If they locate there
and Hickman, in order to induce the com
pany to reestablish the mill there, offers to
donate tract of ground two hundred feet
square in central portion Of the town.
This ought to awaken our citizens and
council to action, for manufacturing
establishment such as the company of
which Mr.. Campbell is the representative,
intends to erect and maintain, with the
capital to insure its successful manage.
ment, is not to be sneered at and the oppor-
tunity to get it here should not be allowed
to pass us by unnoticed. Mr.. Campbell
stated yesterday that the companys week.
