The Sun of yesterday evcnlii'' conies
from the St. Louis Jlrpu'Mean a partial
report of the proceedings of the meeting
of the board of directors or tho Cairo

mark: "Wc de-Ire to say, that It seems
to us that some or our iieople are more
Inlere-ted in the Cairo and St. Louis narrow-gauge
railroad than in.the prosperity
ol the city or Cairo."
Thl is Indellnlte. We think we know
what The Sun means, tint we would like
our neighbor to be a little more definite.
It" The Sun means to insinuate a charge
upon the re-ideiit directors of the Cairo
and St. Louis railroad company, will The
Sun please say so? We are one of the
director, and we wish to know whether
The Sun believes ic? are more Interested
In the Cairo ami St. Louis railroad than In
Cairo, and If o, why The. Sun bclives this.
h The Sun aimed Its arrow at Col, Taylor
and Judge HrosS, will it pleads sav so,
and tell the people why it did so r We are
seeking lurormatiou, thererore we ask
The Sun to be more deliulte in Its
charge. Do, please.

and were attended by n large iitiinber of
our citizens. About two o'clock Prof

exercises were oiiencd by a song, enll
tied "We Come With Joy to .Meet Vou,"
by the whole school, Mis Jcsslu JlillIIJ

"American Literature," that was d
uvereii very eiciiuaiiiy. 'i lie next was a
'elect ffr.rnian reading, by Mls illta

was praUcd very highly by tho'o who
understand the Herman language.
J Ho geographical exercles were con
ducted by Ml Com Hlr.itton, and were
highly praUcd 'y all present. Mls Jessie
i'hllllsuuil Miss Ida McDaiiiclslhcu )icr-
foniied a vocal duet, which was very
pretty. Mis hil.i .Martin favored the
audience with a recitation, which was
very well done. The next In order was
mieisayoii "Woman' I'lght," by Mln

she understood what she was talking
about, nnd left the stage amid the looil
npplauc of the lUteners. Mls Mollle

read an eay on "Hoy's IMirliti." which
was very pithy and lecclved apl)lail-e
from all sides. Ml-s Klla Fr.izler wa
on the progniuune for an cayou "filrl's

lady did not put in an ame-aranee. Ms
Hoe Winston then took the stage, and
concluded the debate on rights by read
ing an e.-'ay on Hlghts in General, which
was well eompow'd and very nteelv de

The diteus-lou now progressing at the
Uhelieum between Mcssr. Cnderwood
mil Hurgcss Is exciting great Interest in
the city.
The debate on Wednesday on tho ques
tion: "Is the Hlble Historically rntrueV"
as warmly contested. With great.
unanimity, tliu Infidels give the victory
to Mr. I'nderwood, their champion: with
qnal unanimity, the Christians give the
IctorytoMr. Ilurgess, their champion:
but all agree that the last-named gentle

one who listens to them will bo enter

a willingness to permit the proposed con
ueutlons to be made over Its lands, but
was not willing to concede rcrlaln
deiiniuts made by the representative
or the ( ulrii nnd Vlneennes railroad
company. This resulted in the breaking
off or negotiations, and much III reeling
