During this time Mr.. Dickens was

him the best wishes of Cairo's citi-
zens and their hopes for his
t'nued health and welfare.
The sincerity of Mr.. Dickens ex-
nressions Of delight with Cairo and
to people, was attested by the
boosts" which he gave them in his
subsequent lectures. At Kansas
city he found occasion to refer to
Cairo as a beautiful little city"
and to- its inhabitants as most

The Garbage Row.

IN the present system OF collecting
refuse, submitted by Alderman Hurd
AZ TUESDAY nights meeting of the
City Council and seconded by Alder
man. Burke. should q have carried
Alderman Hurd moved to delay the
opening OF the bids for the garbage
contract. and recommended the pas
sage Of an ordinance requiring the
collection of refuse from the rear of
dwellings instead ,of from the street.
Aldermen Nef, Grsaney and Walsh
opposed the motion and voted
against 1t, with the result that the
bids were opened and then referred
to the Board Of Health. Alderman
Neff said he objected to thee pro-
posed change because II would re-
quire additional time and labor on
the part Of the contractor and extra
expense TO the city Alderman
Greaney based his objection ON the
difficulty which he said would re-
suit from the lack of an understand
ing as to just where the receptacles
would be placed. Alderman Walsh
said he was of the opinion that the
passage of an ordinance requiring
the covering Of the rcceptaclcs would
overcome the Objectionable features
mentioned by Alderman Hurd. Very
