Mr. A. A. CANTRALL was up from Cisco [Macon County, Illinois] last Monday and made a visit to THE PUBLIC office. Mr. Cantrall was raised in DeWitt County, over near Waynesville, and enlisted from this county and served three years in the Fourth Illinois Cavalry. For a number of years he has lived in Cisco, taking life easy. He is an incorrigible old bachelor, and we advised him to look around his old home and see if he could not find a good woman who would take pity on him and marry him so that the remaining years of his life might be happy.

Illinois Cavalry, and was a member of Captain Harvey Merriman's
company. Mr. Cantrall was raised in Waynesville township, but of late
years he has lived in Macon county. Strange to say, he is an old
bachelor.
