Cairo, in the. matter Of public spirited
citizens, will compare favorably with any
other city in the country of its size and
population anything that adds to the
beauty Of our city, or to its prestige aboard
cannot be commended too highly, hence
anything that we can say In regard to "The
Halliday" although it may be repetition,
as hotel and as an evidence of public
spirit in not misplaced. 1t is tirst-class in
every particular; is furnished with all the
modern conveniences, looking to the safety
and comfort Of its guests, and last though
