THE FIRST TRAIN
RUN INTO CAIRO
GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN AUG
uST 1854 WHEN "OLD PEGGY"
CAME DOWN THE ROAD.
Delegation of Citizens From Jones'
boro Were On the Train and
Joined in the Joyful
Time.

Among the items of yesterdays
Bulletin taken from the Cairo Time 5
nnblished in 1854, was brief refer
ence TO the arrival of the first train
into Cairo BY request, The Bulletin
publishes in full the following article
from the Times of August 50, 1854.
The files of that paper as well as
of other Cairo papers have been pre-
served by the Cairo Property com
pany. through the courtesy Of whose
agent. Mayor George Parsons, we are
enabled to furnish from time to time
historical information CLEANED from
those papers of ante-belum days.
Probably every reference TO the
date Of the entrance of the first rail
road into Cairo. heretofore published
for any years, has stated that that inn
portant event occurred on August 18th,
1850. This article should settle all
doubts as to the date:
HURRAH FOR CAIRO.
Last Saturday was an era in the
history of Cairo. That day witnessed
the completion of the track to this
place. The locomotive "Old Peggy
came into town about 10 O'Clock in
gallant style.

Rafting over ridges,
Shooting under arches,
Rambling over Bridges
Our citizens had been so fre-
0uently disappointed when expecting
her arrival that they seemed to doubt
whether she would ever reach this
place. and they consequently made nc
preparation for a demonstration, but
when he hove in sight. about two
miles up the river, and gave whistle
long and loud, our people tiocked to
the track and, with a loud and pro
longed shout, welcomed her arrival
in our city. The shout wss returned
! by some twenty or thirty of our
.Jonesboro friends who came down on
the train to make the first trip into
Cairo by steam. and for time there
was terrible rejoicing and shakins
of hands.
I'VE did not see anything of neigh
Dor Simons among the happy crowd
! but little Jim Evans represented hin
in q very becoming manner.
Congratulations over the hungry
portion of the party adjourned to JC
Spencer's boat, where a magnificent
dinner had been prepared for them

any one and those who partook d

that there was no time for speeches
or getting joyful. After many affec

and was soon lost to view.

NAMED FOR POLICE JUDGE.

]. D. F1enner was elected police Judge
last Friday night by the City Council
and has entered upon the performance OF
his duties. The election is highly graf
living to the Judges host OF friends
and time will prove that no mistake was
made in his selection. An erroneous
statement was printed to the effect that
the position had been bargained to the
Democrats by a prediction agreement
This was not the case. The Democrats
asked nothing for their support OF the
Republican City Candidates at last cleo
ton. and only recommended men after
the election, subject to the uncompro-
missed right of the Republican officials
to name Republicans if they should
choose to do so, but considering the
non-partisan, or rather all party sup
port the mayor and councilmen received
they considered it right to give the
Democrats some recognition and in this
case Judge Flenner was endorsed by
those who had official standing IN the
Democratic party.

GOOD CLUB MEETING.

The city hall was packed to the limit
last Monday at the meeting of the Demo-
cratic Club and there was a great deal
of genuine enthusiasm, and indications
all showed a determined effort of all
kinds of Democrats to get together for
the approaching campaign. Hon. James
H Hawley, the advertised speaker OF the
evening was unfortunately prevented by
illness from being present, but other old
warehouses were on hand and the ball
was set rolling by a short speech by
Judge Flenner, who was followed by
Judge Perky, ]. w. Watts, E. J. Dock
cry, Milt Cage, Tom Martin and Karl
Paine, each of whom inspired generous
applause. William Brodhead, of HALEY,
also spoke, congratulating the Club on
its work and enthusiasm and stating he
would return to Haley to organize
Club there. The Eiler's Piano House
sent over a graphophone which furn-
ished delightful music for the occasion.
These meetings are growing in interest
and attendance and the next meeting
will be held Monday evening, March I'd,
P. R. Hindman being the chosen speaker
for the occasion, which means good
speech as Mr.. Hindman is a young man
OF scholarly attainments, capable of tell
ing the reasons for the faith that is !
within him.
The Club voted to give reception and
dollar dinner to the members of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
which meets in Boise on Thursday, Feb
ruary 27th, and also requested the COM
rnittee to name Boise for the city TO hold |
the party's nominating convention.
