\ and predicted for il great future
This fact In itself Is nothing out oil

pressed with the great strides that
Cairo Is making but the fact that a
few years ago this same Mr. Pfutte
gave Cairo a severe dr. bling in one
OF his special articles in the "Outing"
Magazine Is deserving OF mention.
Mr. Bruette will be remembered as
the writer who said some rather
nasty things in his impressions Of the
city from an Ohio river house boat
and while all who read ii admitted
OF protest went up from Cairoites.
An article in The Bulletin condemn
ing the author reached Mr.. Bruette
and an apology under his signature
appeared later.

trial at La Center He came here TO

roasted" Mr. Bruette was 30
pleased with Cairo that he prolonged
what he intended for as hours visit
into one Of several days. During that
time he formed very favorable i'm.
preston of Cairo and Cairo people.
Recently Mr. Brueite has been camp
ing on Roosevelta western trait for
the Cosmopolitan Magazine and has
collected some very interesting ma
terial concerning the life of the prasi-
