The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-02-08

The tingling of sleigh bells was heard
in the streets of the city at times yestcr-
day,

Yesterday the proper officer here of the
order of"Knights of the Golden Rule" paid
over to Mrs. Fraser the insurance due her
npon the life Of the late A. Fraser, amount
ing to 81 10000. The same officer for the
same organization paid over another install
ment due Mrs. james Biggs. The prompt
payment in full of the insurance on the life
OF Mr.. Fraser is strong evidence of the
SOUND financial condition of the order and
must strengthen the order in the estimation
of the public,
The government is likely to have seri-
Gus competition in the local pos'olfice bust
ness. In St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago
and other cities private enterprises have
sprung up. Instead of charging even two
cents on letter these companies deliver
them anywhere in the csy for one cent.
This kind of business competition with the
government may be illegitimate, but it de-
monstrates the fact that local letters, at
least, can be carried at good profit at one
half government rate.
ting BULLETIN does not want to be
unjust ct any time to any one, and we
therefore cheeriully correct the item con.
corning the colored schools of yesterday
morning, in so far as Reuben Smith was
concerned. uben assures US that he is
not the guilty Smith; that he had nothing
at al to do with the move; never attended
the meetings or voted on the resolutions.
It appears, therefore, that he was made TO
bear the sins of some othe, member Of the
celebrated Smith family, and he is here by
exhonorated.
Ed Thomas, the young negro who
stole . gold watch and chain from one
Brittop OF SCOTS Congress Monday was
brought before Magistrate Comings yester-
day for preliminary hearing. But he
waived examination and was held to bail
in tue SUN of three hundred dollars, He
holds certificate showing that he deposited
the watch with Messrs. Farnbaker & CO.
for the sum of SIS; but the latter refuse to
surrender the jewelry, and there will prob
ably be legal proceedings between them
and Britton.
--"I'll shoot your - head of" was
the remark which issued from the door of
an uptown domicle yesterday forenoon, and
Just after it came the flying figure of col.
ored woman showing every evidence Of
fright. After this woman came another
who stopped in the door holding in her
hand an ugly looking shooting iron. The
green-eyed monster had been at work be.
tween the two aud the irate wife had or,
dered her too interesting and interested
friend out Of the way of her evidently toe
susceptible Chawley.

dency that way, we will have solid road
for another day at least.
