The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-11-07

| anu other villages, Will regard the prehlc-
ton with feelings of abject terror, But
these good people may draw some consol..
ton from the fact that high water is con-
tingcnt upon the weather, and that all
prophecies even remotely relating to the
weather are liable to miscarry. Even Ven.
nor has several times made propNc',c
| "bulls."
The ice company is still running its
factory for all it is worth 1t has Just about
| finished large store house with capa ,ity
for two hundred and fifty tons, which viii
be filled up as soon as possible in order TO
meet the excessive demand next summer. rs
yet, although the weather is quite cool, the
factory can not make more than it can sell,
often not as much. 1t is evident that be.
fore very long the company will have to in
crease the capacity of its institution. This
it could do without great additional ex-
pense, as the engine and other machinery
WAS bought large enough with this end in
view, and itwoud only be necessary to put
in another tank and enlarge the condensing
apparatus The remarkable success attend
ing this manufacturing enterprise here
ought to encourage other citizens to begin
other branches of manufacture.
1t few Of our monied men, who spend
much time in running little store or a
little commission office or little corner
grocery, and at the same time pay consid-
cradle attention to a little Chicago 'bucket
shop" who are dissatisfied because the
margins" are always the "other way" and
vent their dissatisfaction upon the town
and everything thereunto arpertaining if
these gentlemen would only puttheir heads
and their few lose dollars together and put
up little factory of some kind in the city,
and give it their whole attention, their ideas
of the place would undergo q marked
change for the better, end so would their
fortunes They would be happier and
healthier and wealther and where now
they see dead town that WAS destined
never to be anything but country railroad
way station" they would soon see big city
full of busy and prosperous people.
The season of the year is now fairly
upon us when the festive river roustabout
longeth for the unsophistCated youth who
cometh IN from the country, to take in"
the town, and generally frequenteth the
low dives. AS the aforesaid youth wander
eth carelessly to and fro in the slums Of
the city, tue aforesaid roustabout slug
geth him on the head or "holdeth him
up" and garroteth --despoileth him of
his cheap jewelrv aud his dollar or two"
of "the filthy" that he intended to squan-
der in manner that would have been
much more demoralizing to him than the
little slug" or "choke" given by the fes-
tive roustabout could ever be- The victim
then setteth up a loud waillng and hue and
cry against the town and its people, and
shaketh the dust Of the city from off bis
number tens just in time to avoid appear.
ING in court against the fellow who Slug
ged" him.
1t is not at all matter for surprise
that the government OF the United States
should have its attention attracted to Cairo
as the most convenient point for very i'm
portant manufacturing enterprise. The
government proposes to establish an inland
cannon foundry, after the manner of the
SINAI! arm shops at Springfield, Mass. 1t is
necessary, OF course, that such an institu-
ton should be located at point from
whence all parts of the country can be
reached with the least delay and, naturally,
the government has first dropped upon Cairo
as in every way answering the requirements
OF the enterprise. The institution will be a
big affair and will be great need. 1t Is
understood than an agent from Washing
ton is on his way here to view the situation,
consult with government officials here as to
the site for the institution, and report to
the proper department. 1t was demonstra-
ted during the war and Is now evident
more than ever, that Cairo is the most con
venlent place as point of distribu.
tive in the country at all seasons
of the year. Three rivers, the
Ohio and Upper and Lower Mississippi,
and eight railroads stretching out in every
direction, give Cairo an importance in the
eyes of all who contemplate the establish
ment of any manufacturing enterprise,
that no other city in the country can ap-
proach.
