F ARMERS BUILD
CRIBS FOR CORN
WILL HOLD THEIR GRAIN FOR
BETTER TIMES AND PRICES
GOOD CROPS IN THIS couN.
TY.

Prof. John Snyder, the Cairo alder
man. made a trip through the county
the other day In bis capacity as coun-
.ty superintendent of schools, and re.
ports that he noticed great May
corn cribs in course Of erection. He
says he counted between forty and
fifty large cribs being built on the
farms he had occasion TO pass in
going to Elco All these farmers had
plenty Of corn, but as the demand for
it just now was very limited. the
farmers had decided to hold their
grain Buyers Of grain are laying
low" just now One farmer who has
over a thousand bushels to sell. came
10 Cairo last week with several loads,
and while heretofore he had found
little difficulty selling It. this time he
had to travel about considerably to
find buyer. and he went home and
built cribs for the remainder of his
|crip. to hold it until the conditions
change.
The average farmer is the most in
dependent creature on earth these
times. With plenty Of corn and other
feed. cows, horses. hogs. chickens aud
vegetables of all sorts. he can live off
tine fat of the land. no matter how
light the money market may be.

OF STREET
TO Be PAVED
CAIRO ELECTRIC AND TRACTION
COMPANY WILL EXTEND Paw
ING AT INTERSECTION OF
WASHINGTON AVENUE
AND EIGHTH
STREET.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
quietus has been put upon the sub
ject of street paving temporarily IN
Cairo, due to the financial stringency
more or less. there is To be a large
rectangular portion of street at the
intersection Of Washington avenue
and Eighth street paved with brick
as the result of a conference between
Mayor Parsons and William z
Halliday of the Cairo Electric & Trac-
ton company.
Recently Mayor Parsons suggested
to Mr.. Halliday that the company pave
this space and Mr., Halliday with his
usual public spirit readily acqutescei I.
Accordingly outlines for the improve
ment were drawn by the Tractio
Companys engineer which were sub
mitted TO Mayor Parsons and were al.
proved by him.
At present the Traction compau,
has paved between its tracks at this
point but In accordance with thei
agreement the work will be continued
and viii cover the street to points
even with the first lot lines, insurins
excellent crossings at this important
point.
AS the street runs the pa cement on
the south side will extend 20 a poiat
even with or beyond the second lot
line on the west side Of Washington
Iavenue.
The work will be done as soon as
the contract is let, bids having been
Submitted.
This portion Of paved street will be
greatly appreciated by the public AMI
will be an important object lesson
which doubtless win be the means of
aiding in the matter of pushing the
paving on Washington avenue as soon
as the project can be financed
