Remember the X. M. X. G. ball at
The Halliday, on the night Of the 2lst in
slant lot.
--paducah bloods have their collars and
cuffs done up at the Hallidy laundry in
this city. So says the Paducah Enterprise.
"A little boy fell into a little pond OF
rain water up town yesterday and might
have drowned but for the timely assistance
of colored man who accidently came that
way.
The Pinkneyville Democrat, edited and
published by Mr.. J. ]. Penny, for number
of years foreman of THE BULLETIN news
room, has found it necessary to enlarge in
order to accommodate increased advertis-
ing patronage.
The entire passenger train services on

a navy blue. The coats Of the conductors
will be decorated with elegant gold plated

The Ohio river fell two inches at this
point during the twenty-four hours ending
at iii o'clock yesterday afternoon. AT
points above it rose. The Mississippi river
also rose three inches at st. Louis during
the same period Of time. A falling thermom-
eter was reported from nearly every station
in this district
The excursion to Fort Jefferson on the
steamer Three States Sunday afternoon was
somewhat interfered with by rainy weather,
as result not many went; but those who
did go, to the number of twenty or twenty
FIVE, enjoyed themselves in spite of rain,
mud and wind, and brought home with them
some beautiful souvenirs.
There is considerable exclusiveness
about the state of New Jersey. For
long time she WAS the only state in the
union that possessed whipping post, and
now her senate has passed bill prohibit
ing residents from planting ar raising
oysters in the waters of the state--quaran-
tined against the enterprising oyster gar
dener from abroad, as it were. Sullivan
oughtto be sent down to lick the prepos-
ferrous little kingdom.
The following from the Anna Advocate
of last week will be of interest to the readers
of THE BULLETIN, because the young man to
whom reference is made was we'll and favor
ably known by many Cairoites: "Mr.
George Honnard, the accomplished
musician, died at Golden on Saturday night.
He was once an employe at the Hospital,
where he has hosts of friends, who regret
to learn of his death ="
"A spirit of murder seems to have
taken possession of the people of thia
country. Every issue of the press brings
intelligence of murders in every direction
in the quiet hamlet and in the crowded
| city. And the criminals are not limited
as to age. 1t was only a couple of weeks
age that two little boys, aged respectively
6 and years, got into dispute in a little
town in Missouri and the older shot the
younger dead with revolver. A few days
later an old man Of rs years, resident of
Maryland, murdered his wife and little
grand child; and now comes the intelli-
gence that a boy of ~ named Graham
killed schoomate named Hopkins at
Unionville, Iowa, with base ball club.
We seem to be crowding some kind of a
millennium.
Saturday. Paducah Enterprise: capt
Hirman Hill and his son Charley, of the
Hill Wrecking Company, came up from
Cairo Monday last, and on Tuesday morn
ing the Captain incased himself in his di
wing apparatus and thoroughly examined
the cribs and shores under Messrs. billiard
e. Vests propeller. The water under the
boat is yet some eight or ten feet deep; YET
the Captain succeeded in finding five of thu
cribs built under the boat and be built ny
another under her bow. He thinks one o.
the cribs has been washed away, but Of THU
he is not certain. The shores are all RICH
, yet, and Captain Hllliard feels sanguin
. that the boat will be all y. X, though b,
: says she has sunk down about one foot, AM
is slightly listed to the shore.'

between the city council and the Cairo an
