THE BULLETIN now furnishes its read
ers every day with six coumasof telegra'
phic news of the latest and freshest that 1t
is possible to obtain and in advance OF any
of the larger daiies Of 81. Louis The
BULLETIN started with four columns as an
experiment, promising to do better" II the
experiment succeeded and as success
came IN the form Of new subscribers and
more liberal advertising patronage, so also
comes now the fulflment of the promise.
1t needs not concern any
one how or in what manner
the news is obtained; ii is sufficient to know
that it is obtained and daily spread out
before the public. But in doing this, The
BULLETIN is doing what none of its pre-
decessors or contemporaries have done be-
fore. and it hopes to be estim ited accord
ingly by its readers and feels confident of
popular approval in its efforts TO give the
reading public of Cairo better newspaper
than they have ever rad before.
The mandate has gone forth that
another election is to be had in Ballard
county next August, for the purpose of set
thing the question of permanently locating
the county seat AT this election all voters
will be permitted to vote, whereas at the
former election only those in favor of re.
moval we're permitted to vote, and then the
total number of ballots cast were substract.
ed from the total number of legal votes In
the county, as shown by the assessors
books. The Blandville people have already
collected or subscribed $500 for building
acourt house to be donated to the county
if their town is designated as the county
seat, and this fact will weigh heavily in
the balance for Blandvle. The fact that
the new court house was donated at Wick.
life is said to have principally influenced
the voters to decide in its favor; but the
principal argument that will be made
against Wickliffo at the next election will
be Its uuhealthfulness, and 1t is likely that
there will be much exaggeration in this
respect.
One of the young ladies who instituted
the Leap Year ball Thursday night, being
'cornered yesterday" gave some one q

ted from the list of invitations to the ball
mentioned. We have no doubt that those
Tor whom it was intended will not relish
he 'piece of mlnd,' but it may do them |
md others some good to nibble at it. The |
7oung lady, it should be said is one of the
eaders ofSoclety, knows whereof she speaks
md is not one of those who will be led into
ndiscreet utterances by personal prejudice.
She says, in the first place, 1t was not
he Intention to slight any
'ne-in fact personal preferences or
llslkes were not permitted to exert any in
1uence upon those who issued the in
,itations-there was no intentional slight |
If any one. 1t was true that several very
popular young gentlemen were not invited,
ut this was the fault either of their sweet
learts OF it was chargeable to the fact |
hat it was utterly impossible to so dis
ribute invitations among seventyfve or a
hundred young ladies that all the popular
'oung gentlemen in the city would be in
'ited, principally because it would be i'm
possible to guess whom each young lady
would invite. But, though there had been
10 intentional sights it appeared that sew
'ral very sweet young men
had been accidentally subjected

'ame kind of medicine they had been for
some time steadily administering unto the
young ladies'. These several sweet young |
men had made it a practice to attend all |
social gatherings, amusements at the opera
house and parlor entertainments alone, per.
hitting more young men to bring the la.

to the task of "mashing."
