The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-10-31

which the many intelligent negroes Of Cal
no will not fail to make a note Of. "As
good as Democrat but NOT as good as a
Republican"
The very funny and highly amusing
play, "The Bachelors" will be given at the
opera house tonight by the Richardson
Dramatic Co. 1t is among the best enter
tainments of the season, and those who at
tend will surely be amply repaid for the
trouble. The actors are all good especial
ly Miss julia Blake and Harry Robinson,
the inimitable commedian. Go early and
secure good seats at popular prices
The whole people Of the county are in
terested in voting the additional tax of so
cents on the one hundred dollars valuation.
The amount so raised will be expended in
repairing and preventing further decay of
the court holse "An ounce Of prevention
is worth pound of cure" and for every
hundred dollars raised and expended now
thousand will be saved to the county in
the near future.
Tomorrow will be the feast Of All
Saints in the Catholic church and Is Holy
Day of obligation. First Mass will be
celebrated in St. Patrcks church at a.
m, and second (High) mass at 8 am. The
feast was first instituted in Rome by Pope
Bonaface " in the seventh century, and
was afterwards extended throughout the
Christian world. To-day the vigil of the
feast is day of fast and abstinence.
If Capt. Thomas denies that he said at
the opera house Tuesday evening that "a
niger is as good as a Democrat" the negro
will be mad and possibly kick out of the
traces, while if he stands by TIE assertion,
or declines to explain, we have the names
of several prominent Republicans who have
signifed their intention of not supporting
him. The genial captain should not in
dulge too freely in the tactics Of the deme-
gogue if he hopes to succeed.
DIED AT Bowling Green, Ky, last
Sunday morning, Mr., Presley Byrnes, we'll
known in this city among river men. He
had made CAIRO his home or headquarters
for some time, and was conceded by the
river fraternity to be thorough and com.
petent steamboat clerk. Pres was noted
for bis genial and social qualities, which
likely caused a premature death; but he
died surrounded with loving relatives and
friends, who mourn his loss. He leaves a
daughter aud brother, who reside in Bow
ling Green, his brother being a prominent
physician of that city.

The georgia Wonder" entertainment
last evening at the opera house WAS fairly
attended, aud Miss Lulu Hurst amused the
audience very much in her experiments
She is quite an attractive lady, which add
ed to the interest OF the performance, bu,
as to her supernatural powers, we can
hardly credit her with as much as the press
generally comedies her II must be admit.
ted, however, that she possesses grea,gmag.

some. One gentleman she threw headlong
into private box. We notice that with
DR.. Smith she had but little power The
quar'e,te chair wrestling match in which
Dr. Woods engaged was good and resulted
! In victory FOR Miss Lulu.
While we feel sure that the many ne
groos who listened to the speech of Capt
Thomas at the opera house Tuesday even
