Coal IN FORD COUNTY, ILLINOIS

We hear favorable rcports-of the pro-
gress MIR. Guthrie is making with his
coal shaft, being now between 60 and
70 feet below the surface, and proceed.
ing rapidly. He has met with little
trouble from water, and none from
quicksand. 1t is expected that it will
be completed within the next sixty
days, when it will be equipped at once
and the work Of mining commenced.
1t will prove great acquisition to this
county.
THE total subscription in aid Of the
families of the Avondale sufferers, avail.
able, is $s9, 1882. The total reported
subscriptions in the various parts Of
the country were about $4,000 but
nearly half yet remains uncollected, MOI
is there a sanguine belief that any con.
siderable portion of this sum will ever
find it's way to the sufferers. The
money at present is disbursed at the
rate Of 5000 per year TO each widow
and 800 per aRpum to each male
child under fourteen years and each
female under sixteen.
