health of the city is generally good : and

It is passing strange wbnt fascination
Cairo possesses for business men who un
dertake to leave. They are restless
whilst absent, and succumb to the inevi
table. Witness the case of our friend Dr.
Austin.
The Cairo fruit box and basket factory
employing a large number o( bands is do
ing are immense business. They are
obliged to work oxlra hours, and then tbo
supply falls short of the demand. Cairo
means business.
The work of lowering tbo sidewalks on

The gas pipes aro being bedded in the

For tho present there will be no even

The 'Sun' is greatly exercited about the
course likely to be adopted by tbo liberal
republican and democratic congressional
and senatorial conventions, to bo held in
this city on the 2 id in't. Poor fellow, we
recommend our neighbor ov;r the way,
to 'pent of Grantism, commit political
hori kari, and fall into .tbo aims of the
liberals, which are ever teady to embrace
the 'troo!y loll" penitents.
Two or three salamander icecream (so

The editor of tho 'Sun, says in
his luminary that "The Bulletin" is bard

local notice of the late Sabbath School con
vention. With bis usual obtusoness bo
cannot perceive the difference between re
gret and condemnation. We regretted
the opportunity was not made general,
and do so still, and that tho attendance was

The Liberal Republicans voters of tbo

notified to meet (cn w$t) at tbe Court
Home in the city of Cairo July 23d at
4 p.m. for tbe purpose of nominating a
candidate to bo voted for at tbo November

Mldtf
Dr. Wardner, has removed his office
from the rooms over tbo old post office
building, to the spacious apartments ovor
Arters brick building on Commercial
avenue, lately occupied by the custom
homo. Dr. Wardner has attained a pro
fessional eminence both as a physician and
surgeon that has procured for him a very
ago practice, and an unblemished repu
tation. His now and spacious office rooms
are very cicely furnished, for tho recep
tion of patients. His offico hours are from
10 a. m., to 12 m., and from 2 to 4 p. in.
Residence, corner of Nineteenth street
and Washington avenue, near tbe court
house. 7-13 It.
said, a yield almost unprecedented. An
pies, pears, and grapes, especially promise,
an Immense crop. Peaches will yield a
heavy crop. Farmers and frull growors
ure generally lglnnlng to reap a rich ro
ward, and overflowing coffers. It ii, then,
time tn remember tho goodness of the
Great Father to whom all nro Indebted for
fruitful seasons as well as for ovury
other mercy, and not only bo thankful but
ginerous in contributing of our abundant
means to genulnulybenevolont(inititutlons,
and to the alloviallon of tho necessities cf
the widow and orphan.
Citizens should remember that the
ordinance relating to tho running of a
garbage cart, requires ' that all slops and
gal bage shall be placed in boxes or bar
rels on tbe street " convenient tor hand
ling. Complaint has been made to The
RULLCIIN that is I'.lauso of the
ordinnnce is much neglected to tho detri
ment of cleanliness if not of health. Gales
are locked In many instancei, rendering
access to the yards in which tho barrels
are placed maccesible until a late hour In
the morning, rendering It imposiible for
tbe driver of tho garbnuo cart to get
around to perform his duties, it Is to be
hoped that for tho futuro this ncgltct will
bo rectified, and that the barrels etc.,
containing tho garbage will bo placed
"convenient lo the street, " as required
by tbe ordinance. Tho law is one which
should meet with ready complinnco by
every one, as a saintary necessity."
On yesterday afternoon wo visited tho
now dontistry of Dr. W. P. Williams,
(successor to Dr. A. M. Austin,) In NetTs
new brick building on Eighth strcot, re
moved from Dr. Austin's old stand on
Commercial avenue. Dr. Williams
has already acquired an excellent repu
tation as a skilled and succcsiful dentist,
as well as for a gonial and gentlommily
character of high standing, and has given
entire satisfaction to all who liiivo hith
erto required his services. Ho desires to
return thanks for the patronage which
has thus enab'od him to koep up with the
public demand, and which ii allko crcdl
tablo to his enterprise and professional
ability, as to tho appreciation of them by
bis U'llow-townsmen. Dr. Williams now
occupies an elegant suite of apartments
on the second story of the afore mentioned
fine building. The reception and opera
ting rooms are well and neatly furnished,
whilst the laboratory possesses nil the ap
pliances that modern science can furnish
in the dental lino He is fully
prepared, thereforo to perform all dental
operations at bis uiuul reasonable rales.
Dr, A. M. Austin will return to Cairo on
the 1st of September to remain. That
gentleman is to become tho partner of
Dr. Williams in tbe practice of his
profession.
Some of our democratic iriends in Cairo
declare that Greelor is not a democrat.
What is he, then ? 'Ciiro Ev'.ning Sun.
Our enlightened netghb.ir still contin
ue to knock his head on the Cincinnati
platform, without being ablo to ascertain
its principles, and that tho nomination of
the philosopher means patriotiim. To il
lustrate the 'Sun's' position a "little anec
dote" will be apropos. During the latb
war, whilst a squad of recruits were being
drilled at the camp grounds ncr Spring
fluid, in slow inarch, quick inarch, heating
time, double, etc., one of the members on
tbo left of Ibe squad not hearing or heed.
less of tho word of the sergoant, "double,"
continued to beat time until his comrades
were far away, when bo discovered that he
whs alone. When the 'Sun' wakes up
from his Rip Vin Winkle sleep in Novem
ber next, and discovers the white bat dis
appearing within the portals of the whito
house whilst be is standing still, inquir
ing iu a sort of maz", "What is he then ?'
Ho will wish he had accepted The Bul
letin's offer to help him out of tho slough
of despond. It will then take him and
all tbo Grunlites and fossilized Bourbons
the balance of the term of their natural
lives to catch up to the times.
More evidences of prosperity are to be
seen every day in tho city. The Egyptian
flour mills are undergoing a thorough
overhauling. A now story of 1 leet
height is being added to Ibis structure,
and is In course of rapid completion. The
superintendent, Mr. Robert Adams in
formed us, thai tho mill ii to be fitted
with now chest bolts, and now cleaning
machinery. When started aguln with its
capacity of Ave run of stone, turning out
100 bbls of floor per diem, of the finest
grades frtm the choicest qualities of
wheat. It will bo unsurpassed by any
flouring mill In the west. Mr. Adums, Is a
millur of thorough oxpttrienco, and his
qualifications for the responsible position
lie occupies are of the highest order.
From all that van bo gathered from
local journals, and other lources, we learn
with thankful hearts tbal the harvest, so
far, hss been bountiful. Corn promise!

and tho otlior two by Arnold, It Is to be
hoped that no cessation to this cleaning
out will be allowed until the city is en
tirely clear of prostitutes und prostitution.
There was not tho least intention to
cast any reflection on the policu force in
the item which appeared on tho 12th.
There wero no caics on tho morning of
that day,and wo supposed the business for

and his assiitants deserve praise for
their indefatigable performance of their,
duties, und hope our citizens will give them

endeavors to clear out the "social evil.'1

OUR SIDEWALKS
Editor Daily Bulletin:
Sir: I observe In a lata Isstio of your
papor, that tho bills for work on our side
walks, labor aloro, amount to the large
sum of $016 60, add to this the cost of
lumber and nails, and it amounts to such a
figure as to tick lo us poor sinners undor
tbo ribs to nn extent that
U Bonding us into financial hystcrlcsi
nnd this too, is still more apparent,
when wo consider tho number of miles of
sidewalks, required in this city, and that
thoro is nt u month in the year in which
repairs ure not made. Hits It ever occur
red lo the mnyor or council that a moro
durable system might bo adopted gener
ally, mid that in soino few localities, at
least, mom durablo tnateriil might bo
used? As respects the latter, I might
mention tho western side of Leveo street.
Now, notwithstanding it is proposod to ro
new that wido sidewalk by means of a
special astesiraent on tbo property hol
ders in that location, which does not
effect tho spocial public fund, for street
purposes, I would rospectfully suggest
the inquiry, whether brick, flag
stone, or asphalttc pavement, would
not be Utter in tho long run, in every
respect. As a matter of economy and ap
pcaranco I think either of tho latter would
provo to bo so. In Rochester, N. Y , and
other largo northern cities, tbo axphaltic
pavement hus been used very successfully,
notwithstanding tbo extremes of cold,
heavy frosts, nnd snows to which it Is sub
jected. Tho experiment, at all events
might bo worth trying.
Thcro are, also, other portions of tho
city sidewalks which might be replaced
by tho samo materials, where thcro Is no
danger of wash. I might mention a part
of Commercial avenuu, n portion of Ninth
street, Tenth street, nnd soino other much
traveled streets, not immediately present
to tho mind's eye. Certainly, either
brick or asphalt would be worth trying ;
and onco fairly tried upon u small scale,
if satisfactory, it could be extended to tho
utmost limits circumttnnces would allow.
In this, as well as in other respects, it is
high timo Cairo wus. treading in tbo foot
steps of ber sister cities, and is a matter
worthy of serious consideration both in
respect of economy, appearance und dura
bility.
Whero wooden sidewalks aro still an
absolute necessity owing tu their eleva
tion, danger of wash from graded streets,
etc , I shall have a tuggettion to make
In another number of your paper, which I
think would bu of inestimable service if
adopted. For the president I urn re
spectfully, Economist.
I the undersigned being In brid,o und
building busneis for 20 years, must give
Mr. C. Uaucnstein, Architect, the credit
of drawing correct and perfect plans. I
havo worked out some of tli9m, and find it
correct and accurate, in draft and figures.
So every mechanic, if he is one, can work
by his plans. He but his opposition, but
I think he Is able, In fact, to gel tho bet
