The scheme to extend the county road
up to the HILLS seems to have fallen through,
for the present, at least Mr.. Sol Silver, who
had charge of the subscription paper to
raise the $1,000 has abandoned the lob. af
ter having obtained only one-fourth of the
money wanted. This is to be regretted.
Cairo is so much in need of all the coun-
try trade she can get, and she has so few
good roads connecting her with what little
farming country surrounds that citizens
ought not to permit any opportunity to in
crease their facilities for establishing com.
mercc with the country around them, to
pass by. The proposed new road to the
hills IN kentucky and that to the hills in
Pulaski county would certainly bring 10
Cairo in few years more than the cost of
such roads Both roads would lead to rich
farming countries that are settled and cul
| tyated. Tdey are now virtually cut off
! from Cairo most of the time and are only
waiting for the chance to roll into Cairo
what wealth in the form of crops they may
produce every year and take merchandise in
exchange. But if Cairo will not even do
small share of the expense of establishing
such communication she cannot expect, and
certainly doesn't deserve any of the bone
fits that would result from such connection.
When Mr., Candee returned from Dixon
Springs last week he brought with him a
rare and curious lily plant, taken from the
base of the high, rock bluff near tire
Springs. The plant was removed and
transplanted, having bossomed with mxu-
riant profusion, the slender buds opening
into beautiful flowers Of peculiar shape.
The color is pure white, the centre Of the
flower resembling a morning glory with
delicate petals six 10 number, extending
beyond the centre on the edge OF which are
the stamens. The flower is as fragrant as
it is beautiful, and certainly very interest.

The Cairo Public Library, received
lately through the courtesy Of Mayor HUI
llday valuable and interesting specimen,
Sea.horse from the Pacific ocean, presented
by Mr. Geo. 5 Pidgeon, of California. The
already large and interesting collection at
the Library room is being constantly in
creased by valuable donations from differ
eDt quarters, and now forms a nucleus Of
what will some day probably be one of the
finest museums in the West. 1t has been
the hope Of the founders of the Library,
from the beginning, that museum aud |
art gallery, would ada to the value and in
fuence Of the Library, and the hope will,
no doubt, be fully realized
