will have an opportunity to witness, will
undoubtedly be given by Birds floating
opera tomorrow night.

Thirty-second street and Ohio levee.
Tomorrow evening the Hibernian fire

months.

owing taxes, personal or otherwise, will be
found in special local column of this issue
of THE BULLETIN. Sheriff Hodges desires
immediate settlement of all debts due the
county.
We have from this date abolished the
the cheap advertising column in THE
BULLETIN. We commenced it hoping to
induce people to advertise more by offering
at a nominal price. 1t was failure and
we drop it.
A. J. Birds Floating Opera-house will
be at the landing tomorrow. His enter
prise has met with flattering success
wherever he has been, and will undoubted
ly call out crowd tomorrow evening that
will test the seating capacity of the hall
large as it is.
The merchants along the south side of
Eighth street, between the avenues, are
forced to make some needed improvements
by the narrowing of the sidewalk on that
side. The awning supports are being set
upon the curb-stone and, in many instances,
replaced by new ones.
Mayor Thistlewood yesterday received
q postal card from the fire company of De-
catur asking if there would be fire COM
pany's tournament in Cairo on the Fourth
of July to which other companies would
be admitted and what arrangements for
transportation could be made.
Night before last the committee on
general arrangements for the Fourth of
July celebration met in the Arab fire COM
pany's hall for the purpose Of discussing
the work that has been done and that is
yet to be done. The meeting was highly
interesting. twas decided, among other
matters, to expend about three hundred
dollars IN fire works alone.
yesterday real estate record for Alex
lnder county, as shown in the Office of Cir
cult Clerk Irwin, consists of one deed, as
follows: John M. Lansden and wife to
Mary Ann AFTER; special warranty deed,
dated May 30th, 1881, for lots numbered
twenty-six and twenty-eight, in block num-
bered four, in the Third addition to the
city of Cairo. Consideration one thousand
three hundred dollars.
Elsewhere will be found communica-
ton of some interest to everybody and of
special interest to persons afflicted with |
troublesome telephones. That there is
much reason for loud complaints against
the telephone cannot be denied; but
neither the officers here, nor the instru.
ments, are to blame for the bad manner in
which the system works at times. Now the
ailment seems to lie chiefly with the call
wire; formerly it lay with a number of
private wires. But all persons whose in
struments are in bad order now will have
the satisfaction of knowing that
in few days force of cx-
perience1 men will be here to give
the entire system general overhaulng.
In the meantime Mr.. Kent, the manager
here, will do what he can to lessen the
evil and has already ordered thorough
inspection of the wires with which the evil
seems to rest.
The most conclusive proof that on the
Fourth of July Cairo will see the largest
crowd Of people that has gathered here Tor
many years past, may be recognized in the
fact that all the railroads and some of the
steamboats, runninr into fhe citv hova ia.
