The Krsw have appointed two sets o
committees to take charge Of their Phsn
tom Balls to 90 given Mardi Gras night q
the Mystic Krew Hall and Temperance
Hall. They are young men who under

Mr.. 8. N. Weaver, express agent d
Helens, Ark, formerly holding the same
position on the Iron Mountain road here,
and Miss Fife Coleman, one of the popu-
lar and accomplished society bellies OF this
city, are to be married next Wednesday in
this city. No cards are out - yet, but it
is understood that the ceremony will occur
ct the Methodist church.
"A parlor social Was given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. J. II. Jones, corner Of Eleventh
and Walnut streets Friday night, in honor
of Miss Ada Lester. About twenty-five
young people were present, who passed the
time in the manner usual to occasions
where youth, health and beauty meet. Dan
cling was one OF the means to tho end and
. nice supper was another. The party
didn't break up until after midnight.
80 far this year very few Of those re-
quirsd to pay license for doing business in
the city have complied with the ordi'
nances in this respect, and Marshal Myers
gives them final notice 10 special local COL
NUN this morning. As yet only three drsy-
men, one hickman, one tesmster, and one
insurance agent have paid. Delinqusnts
should take notice and pay up before it is
too late to save Costs.

With the last issue of the Cairo and
Mound City Anzisger the name Of the pa
per is changed to the Cairo Anzeiger"
simply. The reason for this ~ given In the
AnIsiger itself is, that the citizens Of
Mound City, with few exceptions, fail d to
show any interest whatever 10 Mr.. Lob
mans undertaking. This is to be regret
ted, not only for Nr. Lohman's sake but
tor the sake of the many German citizens
in Mound City and Pulaski county who
should have shown enough public spirit tn
extend helping hand to an enterprise so
worthy and beneficial as a newspaper in
ths,r native language must have beeu. The
"Anzeigsr" relieves now principally upon
the business men of Cairo and Alexander
county for support and i, will probably re-
ceive from them what it deserves.
NO matter how hard the times may!
be, or how scarce money nay be, humanity
will extract Q certain amount of enjoy.
ment even under the most adverse circum.
stances. Our pleasure and pastimes are
governed by the length Of eur purses. Rec
ognizing this fact, the Mystic Krew have
sensibly concluded to forego costly mas
querades this season and substitute there.
for phantom dances, that will furnish the
greatest amount Of mirth and hilarity fol-
the least possible cost. Their forthcoming
phantom dances on Mardi Gras night .,
Mystic Krew and Temperance Hall prom.
ice to be the event Of the season and will
be:ths last opportunity until after the lenten
season for night Of pleasure. The same
care that the Krew have always exercised
in conducting their balls, will be carried
out in the coming Mardi Gras Phantoms.
This is guarantee that only those who are
wanted will DO present. 1t
