Ava UIIJ Journal: Through kindness
Of Capt, Williams, Assistant General Agent
of the st. L. & c. Il. r. at Cairo, we have
been furnished with bill of fare of The
Halliday Of Cairo, Among the many good
things mentioned in their bill is Ava Min
eraI Water The Halliday is tho pride of
all Southern Illinois. The hotel is equal
to the best IN It's general arrangements in
the State. The Halliday has received very
complimentary notices from distinguished
foreign travellers and authors who have
done America and published their travels
on returning home. We feel that the Ava
Springs by this act of the proprietors of
The Halliday have been honorel We, at
the same time, feel confident that the Ava
Mineral Water will sustain its reputation of
being the best mineral waters in use
to-day
"A young negro who was formerly EN-
ployed about the premises of Mr.. Corliss
up town, has been caught in a very bold
trick by which he managed to live to some
extent after the manner of the lilies of the
valley. When employed in the Corliss
household, be was sent frequently to pur-
chase the family groceries at Messrs Smith
Bros. until his orders at the store were fill
ed without question. lie was discharged
several months ago, but, probably from
sheer force Of habit rather from any dis.
honest motive, he still continued to call
at the store for all manner of nice things
for the palate, such as Sardines and oysters
and canned fruits and sugar-coated ginger
bread. Several times he made it point
to call for what he knew Messrs. Smith
Bros. did not have JUS: then. "Mrs. Corliss
could not wait for the articles; she had to
have it right away, and wouldn't Mr.
Smith give him the money so that he could
buy it elsewhere and take it home" Upon
this and other pretexts he even obtained
money several times, which he doubtless
spent In the past time most popular among
African Juveniles, shooting craps The
young man was getting along very swim
mingly and was rapidly developing stron!
contempt for the old fellow who invented
honesty and designated little best policy i
defiance Of the practices Of very larg
proportion of humankind. And the youn,
man has not had much occasion to change
| his mind about these moral precepts. Sew
ersl days ago he came to the store and GOT
potatoes "for Mrs Corliss"; little while
afterwards Mrs. Corliss came to the store
and also ordered potat0es-and then there
was little explanation and little tableau,
which lead to an examination
of the account, which, in turn,
developed the fact that the young negro
had bought about $50 worth Of delicacies
for Mrs. Corliss, which Mrs. Corlss never
ordered and never got Officer Mahanny
was notified, and the young scape grace
was found; but his parents pleaded eo-
quently and persistentiy for mercy, and
offered to pay the amount in which be had
"confdenced" the aggrieved. A comprom-
ise was effected between those Immediately
concerned, and the young negro is inclined
to believe that dishonesty is not so very
dangerous policy after all
