the most satisfactory and pleasant
kind, at least 80 far as
the congregation and the community
are concerned, and Mr.. George, is proba-
bly, equally we'll pleased. His
permanent departure would be
very much regretted, but his
contemplated trip east does not mean any
thing of the kind,
---Cullom's election to the Senate appears
to be a very clear case Of bribery. We
don't mean to say any money was used,
but the place was bought quite as much AS
Il it was paid for in dollars and cents.
There is difference in the degree Of the
offence, no doubt but it is none the less
case of bargain and sale when the Governor
of state barriers away the official appoint
ments at his command to secure coveted
prize for himself, If you are to ca a
spade spade, YOU must put this down as
fat bribery,
Mr.. Peter NetFs new stores on Com
mercial Avenue are finished all but plaster
ing inside. A flag-stone walk twelve
feet wide is being laid in front.
They have the finest French plate 6 sss
front of any on the avenue. The store on
the southerly side will be occupied as a
drug store by Messrs. Coffee & Bross. Mr.
Coffee is an experienced druggist of Bland
vile, KY, and Mr.. Louis Bross, the other
member of the firm, needs no introduction
TO the Cairo Public. The other store will
probably be occupied by another firm with
dry goods,

"A fair audience greeted Mr.. Prescoate
at the Presbyterian Church last night to
listen to his lecture on memories. The
lecturer began about 1880 o'clock and spoke
about an hour and half during which
time he interested every body present but
some of the boys. The lecture was de-
lvered In an attractive style aud consisted
Of narratives, amusing and impressive, de-
scriptions of men and things, examples
from noted speakers and writer's and eulo-
gies of them, Tho speaker drew largely
upon his own experience, and presented
everything in a pleasing or impressive way.
This was his last lecture here.
