Than the majority.
1t smokes very free,
And good it must be,
For its enemies re in the minority
For five its the best
Create and behest,
Our patrons cry with seniority.

Col. Andrews, of the Wabash railroad,
has written letter to the Illinois board of
railroad and warehouse commissioners 10
reply to one calling his attention to certain
complaints which have been made as to the
condition OF the Cairo division, in which
the colonel assures the board that il was
the attention Of the company to improve
the physical condition of the track and
bridges on this division as fast as il coul
be done. BE also stated that the company

The damage at the tunnel of the St.
Louis and Cairo road near Jonesboro, had
not yet been repaired Yesterday so that
trains could run as usual, and it may take a
day or yet before it is. But train will
leave here every morning for the tunnel,
where passengers will be transferred over
the break to another train and taken on to
their destinating. Word was received by Capt
Williams from Col. Hamilton yesterday to
the effect that the work of clearing the
track was progressing rapidly and that
trains would be running again as usual
Tuesday. The obstruction was not In the
tunnel as was reported, but at tho ap-
proach at this end. The heavy rains had
caused land slide, covering the track for
about fifty feet, and when this had been
nearly all removed another slide occurred,
which compelled the men to commence

BILE Of the Lights o London combination,

genuine spectacular drama, and as this
has such splendid reputation throughout
the country, and has been witnessed by a
number OF Csiroites, who know just what

attention it deserves. We are fortunate in
having stage spacious enough to sccom-
