have but two weeks to spare here, at the enc
Of which time he is to open court at MI
Vernon. During this two weeks much bu

so diligently and with such good effect,

Mary Jane Messenger is the name OF
the old woman who has been in the Hiber-
MAN engine house for several days back,
under the care of DR.. Wood. She came
here from Osceola, several months ago,
lived in the c. Il. Clark abomnation for
several weeks, was elected from there, for
non.payment of rent perhaps, went to ST.
Louis, was sent back here and roamed about
our streets begging for several days, when
she was taken sick and laid down in the
engine. house. DR.. Wood has temporarily
provided her with food medicine aad bed
ding there, and Yesterday afternoon, upon
An order from the mayor, City Comptroller
Foley sent ton OF coal there TO keep up
fire near her. These provisions are but
temporary, until the DR.. shall have com.
peted preparations for taking care o. the
woman permanently at the expense OF the
county, with parties living in d house
known as the Ceramic Lee" house, which
has almost always served in this way.
"A meeting Of the incorporates of the
Southern Illinois immigration society WAS
to have been held in one Of the parlors Of
Tie Halliday Friday afternoon, but there
was none The incorporators are Nr. ". j.
Howley, Of Alexander; Ino, s. Crum, of
hohuson; Jno Y, Mccartney, Of Massac :;
G. F. Myer, of Pulaski E. A. Willard, of
Union, and George W. Young, Of William
son. OF these gentlemen only two we're
present, Messrs. NJ. J. Howley and John s.
Crum; but Mr.. G. +. Myer was ponderously
representedb by Hon. Joseph P. RDbarts. The
object Of the meeting was to take a glance
at the subscription books, see how much
stock had been subscribed by the several
counties, and to take the next necessary
steps to place the society upon trm foot
ing and give it activity; but as the repre-
sentation was so very small no meeting was
held. So far az We were able to learn, but
two of the thirteen counties represented in
the society have subscribed to the stock,
these being Pulaski and johnson counties,
the former taking $3.50 and the latter $3.50.
Evidently the society is on the verge Of
dissolution, which is to be regretted.
Complaint is loudly made BY the peo.
pie of EIco p this county, against the St.
Louis aud CAIRO road, on account of alleged
serious neglect on the part OF said road.
Until few days ago, Elco was station
on the road just as any other station; 1t had
an agent, trains made regular stops for pas
sengers and freight, it has post-ottce and
mail vas regularly delivered. But few
days ago all this was changed; the agent is
gone, trains do not stop except when
hailed, freight loaded 10 cars and bound
for Cairo has been standing on the track
there for over week, and the mail is
not delivered at the post.of1ice. All this, ii
true, is a ou5indictment of the company
aud is worthy of further investigation. 1t
Is alleged that the company has taken
these means of furnishing the people OF
Elco for alleged sympathy with the people
Of Caro- in their endeivor to guard their
own interests in their dealings with the
company While we cannot recall a single
instance which would prove the company
to be possessed of a broad mind. yet we
can not without further investigation be-
lieve that 1t has soul small enough to
stoCp TO such mean measures to satisfy 80
contemplate apurpose.
