AS TO THE CENSUS.

It transpires now that the census
takers win have more time to com
plete their work than has been stated,
the limit being to certain extent dis
cretionary with the superintendent of
the district. In Cairo some of the
enumerators have not near completed
their work and are still at It, One
district has not been touched, being
in charge of a man who has two dis
tricts to go over and who has not vet
finished the first. Under these cir
cumstances 1t is not strange that a
large number of citizens have not yet
been listed and 1t Is not possible to
ten at this time whether the work
has been or is likely to be thorough
or not.
Under these circumstances there is
yet time to do something to insure a
fun count, the Importance of which
Will not be questioned. What can be
done In view of the government re
strlctions regarding aid to enume
rators Is matter for discussion.

At convention held not long since in
Chicago it was urged that the increasing
lack of farmers now assumes the proper
tons of a menace to the United States.
Here is one small solution which will work
out properly There are many home-sup-
porting women in the cities and towns of
this country who are working their lives
out for a mere pittance, widows with fam

their children run the streets without a

NOT so BAD,

There has been complaint among
some of the business men OF CAIRO
because OF duh business. There is
seldom a time when some business
men are not complaining about duh
business, and there are certain times
in every year, and certain conditions,
when dullness is the normal state
times and conditions which operate
the same everywhere. Just now COM
plants of duh business come from re-
tailers everywhere Dun's and Brad
streets reports show this, although
the wholesale trade seems to be salts
factory, generally speaking. st.
Louis reports duh business, with a
number of vacant business houses ON
Olive street, one OF the principal bust
ness streets.
In Cairo there are several reasons
why money may be tight among re-
tail buyers. and perhaps chief among
these is that the people of this city
are paying over 100000 ayear for
street improvements most of which
money goes out of the city--a million
dollars in ten years with Interest
Owners Of property especially the
smaller owners. who have perhaps
only their homes, Will naturally econo-
mize in other directions to meet this
tax. Ii is not to be expected that so
much money shall be taken from the
people without effect on business.
Then there are other causes. Some OF
the mills have reduced their forces;
the Chicago mill sent hundred men
and their families away to work in
another plant, leaving some vacant
houses here.
And yet in the face of all this, and
of much more that might be cited,
Cairo is in excellent condition, with
prospects never before so assuring
and so bright The city's volume of
business so far this year Is greater
than in former years; out-of-town
buyers wholesale and retail are
numerous every day as shown by the
hotel registers, the reports of mer.
chants, and the personal columns OF
lie newspapers; building operations
are active, the architects having more
work than ever before making plans
for new buildings; work in all lines
is plentiful there being few idle men
in the city; some big schemes are
brewing which seem sure to add sew
eral important industrial establish
ments during the present year; the
Cairo & Thebes railroad will have $50
men at work shortly on its terminals
in Cairo and its track to Thebes;
street improvements are being pushed
with energy the moral condition OF
the city is better than In many years.
after rather severe but necessary
wrenching; the commercial organiza
lions OF the city are wide-awake, have
started campaign of good advertis-
ing for the city and are going after
business in business-like way.
Everything considered therefore
Cairoites have ample cause to feel
contented and hopeful, strong in the
confidence that their city win make
long strides this year toward that
greatness of which its founders and
its people have dreamed for 10! these
many decades
