Hardly with the exception the sa.
loon men seemed to regard the clos
ing at midnight more as joke than
as hardship. There was no resent
ment against the order because they
themselves are in favor of it.
In connection with the closing today
Is the novel feature that each of the
60 saloonkeepers will be found watch
ing the other 81 for their own preser
walton. They realize that any at
tempts at lid lifting would only hurt
their cause.
Many places that have not had a
key turned in their doors since they
were opened are now locked tight as
a drum. Several of these are on the
levee from Sixth street down. From
the Halliday House bar at Second
street to the Glad Hand saloon at
Sixth street there are IS saloons. OF
this number about seven keep open
all night After midnight the levee
presented a lonesome sight as COM
pared with II on other nights. The
doors were locked and darkness
reigned along the row" that pre-
viously had been lit with numerous
electric signs advertising brands of
WHISTLES and beers.
Not only will the effects of Mayor
Parsons lid order be felt in Cairo.
Ever since the prohibition wave hit
nearby points in Missouri, Tennessee
and Kentucky and Southern Illinois
this city has been the only Sunday
oasis within a reasonable distance
and trains from all directions on Sun
days have brought large quota of
victims of dry Sunday in other towns.
Not a few of the persons who have
been in the habit of coming here on
Sundays, ordered jug or a bottle
or a case of beer yesterday from
some of the different mail order
houses.
Many bartenders who have not had
a day off in years hail the closing
order with delight. "Well," re-
marked one as he turned the key in
his place last night, "Ill get to eat
Sunday dinner with my family tomor.
row for the first time in a dozen
years"
The closing of the saloons will
work a hardship for great number
Of unemployed men. Scores Of them
who have been sleeping in the back
rooms of certain class of saloons
on the levee and who have been en-
abled to at least keep in out of the
cold were turned out on the streets
at midnight. Owing to the money
panic the number Of this class of men
seen i'm the levee resorts recently has
been unusually large.

FIRST REAL SUNDAY CLOSING IN
cAiRo'S HISTORY STARTED
AT MIDNIGHT.
WILL Be NO "CHEATINC'
Each Of the Sixty-two Saloonkeepers
Watching the Other Sixty-one
Bottle Trade Was Good
Hardship For Many.

With a bang that will echo in dry
towns within a radius of fifty miles or
more. Cairo's first real "sure-nuff' lid
was clamped down on the stroke Of
IL last night. There have been lids
in Cairo but none like this. For a
period of three weeks during the adj
ministration OF Capt. Thistlewcod a
number eli years ago and again for a
short time under the reign OF Col.
Wood, the Sunday closing order was
In effect. Today. however. Is the first
lid in the experience Of a majority of
the present generation cf FOUNDERS.
According to tacit understanding
between the saloonmen there will be
no cheating. There viii be no cracks
in the lid and the man with a thirst
who did not lay in supply before
midnight will have to stick it out until
that time tonight All the all-night
saloons will open for business at that
time but those who close during the
week at II or II o'clock closed last
might to remain closed until Monday
morning.
Last night many of the saloons did
a rushing business up to the hour OF
closing, large number took theirs
In bottles. The Owl car was filled
with men who had suspicious looking
packages bullying from their coat
pockets. In one bar room there was
