Noisome Manner.

There is perhaps only one indiyid-
mai in Cairo who yesterday celebrated
the anniversary of the birth of the
Father of Our Country in a fitting
and traly patriotic manner Just as
the first streaks of dawn were Wis
ible on the eastern horizon and the
sun which on the 22ud day Of Feb
ruary nearly two centuries ago rose
on the birth of a nations nero, was
peeping over the Kentucky hills. six
shots were borne on the calm salub-
rious atmosphere and smote the ears
of the slumb ring Cairo residents in
the neighhorhood OF Twelfth street
aud Commercial avenue Followed by
silence which was as profound as
death itself. the aroused inhabitants
were left to their slumbers and to
dream of valorous deeds and the ter
rible ordeal of crossing the ice-filled
Delaware to capture the British at
Trenton
1t was the warm patriotic blood and
ryant liherty-loving nature Of one
)f Cairos oldest Irish-born citizens
which prompted the salute to this
memorable day. Judge Daniel Nc

A Disastrous Fire.

Wind, dust and SIN oke con.
spired to make Thursday of last
week one of the most disagreea-
BILE days on record tor this part
of the country. About the mid
die of the afternoon the town
was foggy with smoke and dust
that came down upon US from
the west with sixty mile wind.
This caused much uneasiness as
it was impossible to see the fire
or locate it. The fire originated
some ways west but the wind
being to@the northwest swept it
south of US a short distance, the
black trail of which can be seen
from town. Much grass was
destroyed and reports state that
several houses, barns and much
feed were consumed in this and
Floyd county. 1t is certain that
everything inflamable was
swept from the trail. The place
and origin of the fire is unknown
as it might have come from Mex
leo in the gale. While all kinds
of rumors of losses are atioat,
we have not yet had time to get
a correct report. One rumor is
that the % pasture is denuded
of grass. Several days will
elapse before a full report OF
losses can be secured.-Plain-
view Herald.

SURE ENOUGH RAILROAD.

According to the Fort Worth
Record of Tuesday, new life has
been injected into the Dallas and
Roswell railroad, and grading is tc
begin OF once.
This line was projected by Da!
las capitalists some three years
since and has been scheduled to
begin operations several times, and
did last year for brief period OF
time have a sort of a start near De-
catur, where it is said the company
then behind it went into liquidation.
This time the public is assured that
there is sufficient money back of
the scheme to carry it through.
From Dallas via Decatur and on
west through the country lying be-
tween the Texas & Pacific and
the "Denver Road" is the propos-
ed route. Lubbock one OF the
objective points.
