The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-09-02


whether the headquarters department shall
be located at Cairo or Memphis. We trust
Capt. knight may make a thorough aud
careful investigation of the many advan.
tages offered by this city for this purpose,
before making permanent arrangement
elsewhere. Our first class hotel accommoda-
tions especially should have great weight
with the captain ia rendering his decision,
as we learn he is single man, and his de-
sire for comfort would be thoroughly salts
fed. In addition to this, Cairo is the
heathest city on the rlver and the facIi-
ties tor obtaining cheap freight rates
south are not enjoyed by any other town on
the river We cordially invite Capt.
knight to visit our city, and see for himself
Just what advantages we do possess, and we
feel sure that a thorough acquaintance
with our citizens will determine him to
locate among Us.
