Cairo Evening Times was a daily newspaper published out of Cairo, Illinois in the late 19th century. It was preceded by The War Eagle, a newspaper published from 1864-1866 by Major Caffrey and then Goodall Brothers. It was published as a wartime newspaper with a Republican slant. The War Eagle, originally published out of Columbus, Kentucky, was moved by H.L. Goodall to Cairo in 1864.[1] During its publication, it attracted a wide influence and Goodall was encouraged to broaden his operation. Out of the expansion came the Cairo Times. Instead of the weekly publication used by War Eagle, Cairo Times began daily circulation in 1866. While the Cairo Times was still considered a Republican slanting paper, it was not as politically fiery as its predecessor.[2]
