Meeting of the CITY Comedian Order
Passed ApPrOpriating Money for Sol
diers' Monument.

The regular meeting of the city council was
held last evening. The two boards met in joint
convention at Il quarter before nine o'clock, ana
were addressed by Mr.. George Crompton, who
presented report and petition from the
soldiers monument committee, of which
he is chairman. The report gives Il
history of the movement in behalf Of
a memorial to the fallen soldiers, which was
inaugurated in 1866, in which year also the sol
diers' monument committee was chosen at pub
lie meeting, held in Mechanics bail; also an ac-
count OF the dofngs of the committee from that
time until the present, including the late action
in inviting the sculptor Randolph Rogers TO
make a model. The report also gave an ac-
count of the favorable manner in which the
model had been received, and suggested the ur-
gency of immediate action.
The petition asked for an appropriation of
$4,000 by the city, with which, in addition TO
sbe Si5 900 uoW in the hands of the committee,
10 pat the work Of erecting monument to cost
$4,000 Immediately ander contract.
Mr.. Crompton spoke briefly in support of the
petition, closing by asking for remarks on the
subject from Hon. A. Il. Bullock who has from
the first taken lively interest in the matter.
Mr.. Bullock spoke as follows:

been agitated for FIVE or six sessions, and
he had been notified that large number
of-similar petitions had accumulated.
He desired that the Committee on the
Judiciary should make report Nine
tenths of the people of Illinois believed
there should be such an amendment by
which the supremacy of God should be
acknowledged. They believe that to
God they are indebted for our success in
many wars for equal rights and liberty

Hard Times.

From all parts of the country the
complaint Of hard times is heard. The
town of Hickman and the adjacent coun-
try is to a great extent an exception to
this cry, nevertheless this general strin
geucy is not without its effect here. The
hard times for the present is felt by the
farmer aud producer, but SO intimately
connected with and dependent on agrieul
ture is every other branch of industry,
that all are more or less effected. The
industry and enterprise of our citizens
faced more uufavorable circumstances
at the beginning of 1870, and changed
the cloud into an air Of prosperity. The
same spirit viii insure continued pros
perity. The farmer may entertain a reas-
enable hope that the present low prices
are unnatural aud the demand, of the
country may soon force things up, and
besides of fine crops aud better prices in
1871. The business men and citizens of
Hickman have special cause for con
graduation, because we comparatively
know nothing Of these hard times, and
from the general talk we look forward
to the commencement of many substan-
tial Improvements with the opening of
spring.

ing establishments 50 laudably engaged

FARM LABoR.-The low prices re-
eeived by our farmers for corn, cotton
and every other kind of produce, this
year, uaturaliy brings up the consider
alton of the price to be paid for labor
the present season. 1t is certain that
but few persons can afford to pay the
present average prices. We notice that
q. New Madrid, aud other neighboriug
localities, meetings are being called, for
the purpose of discussing this question
and agreeing upon some price for labor
that will be fair and equitable both to
the farmer and laborer. A similar cen
sultation might result in benefit to the
farmers of Fulton, aud adjoining
counties.

Gov. Stevenson salutes the present
