"A few days ago Mr.. Alex. Leonard, of
this city paid Bloomington visit and the
Bulletin of that city noticed his presence
in the following complimentary manner:
"Alex, G. Leonard, one of the most inteli-
gent and brilliant colored men in Illinois,
arrived in this city last evening, and will
remain here for several days. Leonard is
about thirty years OF age. He never had
any schooling save that he got in printing
office. He is good newspaper compost.
tor and worked at the case in various
towns in the southern part of this
state until few years ago, spending the
few leisure hours that came to him each
day in reaching. He finally became con-
versant with political matters, and was sent
out by the Republican state central com
mittee during the Hancock Garfield cam
paign to take the stump, and did effective
work wherever he spoke. Leonard for the
past two years has been running paper
called the Gazette, at Cairo, but few days
ago sold it, and is now out for trip
through this part of the country sightsee-
ing. II is quite likely that he will be called
upon to deliver an address on Thursday
evening when the colored people of this
city will celebrate the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment. Leonard a short
time ago, prepared a lecture which he calls
the NEGRO in Politics." that is pronounced
by able white orators to be one of the best
productions of that kind ever given to the
public by coored man"
There is reason to believe now that
States Attorney James M. Dmaron
will not return to this city to
Gil his office and perform its
duties in his own peculiar way until the
expiration Of his term, but that he has
"gone for good" to seek fresh fields and
pastures new that will afford opportunities
for the full exercise of his predominant pro-
pensties. The reason for this conclusion
was furnished by Mrs. Damron herself, who
has resided at Anna for some months. In
conversation with Cairoite Thursday she
intimsted that the uncomfortable position
in which Mr., Damron had been placed here
OF ate, by legal proceedings, etc, had m gde
it impossible for him TO make living here
and induced him to leave but although she
knew where her husband WAS, she s,udiouss
ly avoided revealing his whereabouts. She
said that he had left week ago last Satur.
day, promising to let her hear from him by
way OF money order, in time to prevent
the foreclosure Of a mortgage held by the
Cairoite 10 question on the household goods
there. Thereupon the mortgage left the
goods in her possession appointing her their
custodian. Mrs. Damron has for some time
been suffering with rheumatism and is CON-
PEELED now to move about on
crutches. She bears up bravely
under her misfortunes and de.
tends her husband earnestly against all at
tacks from knowing ones, During her
residence here she gained the highest re-
spect and esteem Of all with whom she
came in contact, and she has now the Gin
cere sympathy of her many friends here
although, no doubt, she doesn't think her
self subject for sympathy.
