Rector f. P. Davenport was nominated
by the Mayor Tuesday night and confirmed
by the Council, as member of the board of
directors of the Cairo Public Library, vice
rev b. T. George. The Mayor took occa-

Tuesday night was "hobby" night in
the City Council, All the Aldermen who
nave been noted for being the special advo-
Gates of some special matter or line of
policy, trotted out their favorite animals,
straddled them with much gusto and cayort-

various weaknesses and defects of the riders

amusement and for the edfcation of the
world at large, in which pleasant past time
he was ably assisted by Aldermen Wood,
Woodward and McHale. The circus is
advertised for another exhibition next
tuesday, when the trained animals will
perhaps be in better trim and the riders
better skilled. The public is invited. AID.
