OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY
INFERRED At THE CAIRO PosToFFICE FOR
rRANsMIssION THROUGH THE MAILS AT
SECOND CLASS RATES.
CAIRO POsT-oFFICE DELIVERY.

Here is hint that the business men Of
Cairo should all take, and at once: From
an Item elsewhere in this issue it appears
that the collection of mail matter from the
boxes during last month, WAS 81 1888 letters,
9,440 postal cards and l,l67 papers. The
revenue derived from this city by the Gov
eminent, as indicated by the stamps, was
letters at Q cents each, $622.G6; postal
cards at cent each, S94 40; papers at |
cent each, $l1.67-total, s728.73. This is
the totallas indicated by the stamps; bet it
appears that the post-otfice here received
only about S7l6 in all CT this revenue, so
that about Sic worth Of the stamps used
on the mail that went through the boxes
during the month were drawn from other
post-offices and sent here to our merchants,
probably in payment for goods. 1t may
be safely concluded that the same per-
centum of the stamps used on mail that
was taken direct to the post-otfice also
came here from other Offices, so that It is
reasonable to assume that not less than $25
worth Of stamps are imported by our mer-
chants every month from foreign offices,
aud that the business of the Cairo office is
thus reduced by at least 5000 per annum.
Now, in view OF the fact that Cairo is work
ing for a free delivery system-an institu-
ton of great benefit tC citizens-this matter
assumes a serious aspect. AS previously
stated, during the year just preceding the
reduction Of letter postage, the receipts Of
the Cairo office fell only about $500 short
Of the amount that would have entitled US
to free delivery, and since the reduction,
the increase in business has almost
| made up for the decrease IN revenue occa-
stoned by the reduction. BY persistent
dickering Postmaster Murphy snd Capt.
Thomas have succeeded in getting the de-
partEent 70 establish the present system of
mail boxss here; it would be but short
step from this to tie free delivery system,
but necessary prerequisite lie, that the bus
mess of the Office here shall be up to the
minimum fixed by the law authorizing the
system in any community. To this end the
merchants of the city can do much, very
much, and it Is incumbent upon them to
do so. They should give their customers
to understand that postage stamps are not
wanted in payment of bills-they are not a
legaltender and may be refused entirely
In business transactions. The habit Of re.
ceiving stamps is more general than may
be supposed, for within the last day or two
We have been told of one firm that offered
to sell another $40 of stamps, aud of an
other who received 81 worth in one letter

English as She Is Spoke.

Great are the capabilities of the En-
glish language. A wayfaring Indian
apolis man in search of a cigar went
into grocery store in very small
and rural village, not two hundred
miles from this city. The young wo-
man presiding produced a box con-
tanning the desired articles, and when
asked the price thereof gave voice to
the following mystical language:
Them there's two-fers.'
"Two-!ers!' repeated the bewildered
Indianapolis man. what ia the name
of sense is a two-fer?' "
"Why, two fer Nickel replied the
young woman, with IN air of disguised
establishment at some folks ignorance.
'Oh, l see.' said the enlightened
Hoosier. "Well, if you have any one
fers,' let me have look at them"
The purchase of the "one-fer' was
made, and the wayfaring man with

Partial treatment Of rheumatism or Neu-
rslgia, as with lotions and ontments, is
like scotching snake when it ought to be
killed. 1t is mere postponement of pangs
till another, and perhaps more irconvcn-
lent day. Athlophoros does not parley
with these diseases, but gets right beneath
and behind them and roots them out of the
system. 1t is the uncompromising cure.

FIVE years. In ten days after taking Athlo-
phoros her pains were entirely removed"
