Death of Two IdiCitfzens-FarmIn
Prospect, etc.


Prospect, etc.
To the Union and American:
BAGDAD, March "a, 1S73.-Since our
last communication the hand of death has
been amongst us, and snatched from our
roll two old and highly esteemed citizens
of our county-Br njamin Payne and John
Richardson-oldest and most influential
citizens of our community. They had suf-
fered and endured their af1iictions for many
years. They were at the time of their
death patrons Of the Peoples Paper, and
had been ever since its existence. Their
death is deplored by many friends.
Our farmers are zealously engaged in
farming, sowing their oats and turning
over their stubble land for planting corn.
Every little boy that can hold up plow is
in the field; even the old men whose locks
are silvered DER with many winters,are out
with mattock in hand, grubbing the black
jacks and sass afcas bushes before the plows.
The old women are stopping pig holes
around their gardens TO prevent an attack
upon their beans and peas from the old
mans pigs he has just turned outside to
root for their living after his winter sup
plies had about exhausted. / tell you we
mean business, if we are up here in the
hills, where the sun never shines on US but
once day, and that when the horn blows
for dinner.
Our wheat is looking fine for the season.
Many who thought two months ago their
wheat was all froze out, think now they will
make very fair crop, enough for home
consumption at least. There is great deal
OF tobacco to go from this county to market
| yet. Many of our tobacco growers have
not got their crops stripped down for haul
ing off to the agents for prizing, so they can
ship. We hope in few weeks to have
plenty of money, when our tobacco is all
sold. We anticipate large crop again this
season, more than was planted last. We
have found out that money makes the mare
60, and we would all like to see her travel,

ing and No DefauIter.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The depositors
and stockholders of the Bulls Head Bank,
lately suspended, had conference 10 day.
The stockholders committee announced
that they had agreed on proposition to in
crease the capital stock OF the bank and al
low the depositors who are most interested
to take preferred stock enoug ID to make full
the amount of the deficiency, thus placing
the bank in working order again.
The Express sta'eS th2t circumstances
come to light indicate that the bank was in
a hopeless condition weeks before the Off
GERS formally closed the institution. The
widow of former cashier had deposited
with the bank for safe keeping six thousand
dollars worth of stock and other property,
and when she wished to take it out of the
bank she was put off from day to day, and
finally the cashier confessed ne couldn't find
the box, remarking however that 1t was
safe and he would send it as soon as found.
Mr.. Halstead, depcsitor and stock
holder, left box containing twenty thous-
and dollars worth of United States bonds
for safe keeping. a short time ago he de-
msnded them. The cashier informed him
after a short time spent in the vault appar-
emily looking for them that be could not
find them Just then,. but they would be
found the next day, at which time the
cashier informed Halstead that the bank
had taken the bonds few days before in a
temporary money strait and hypothecsted
them. The value of the bonds was re-
turned in notes and other securities. The
total loss SO far as ascertained is S349, 900;
capital stock $4,000; surplus $92 600; cur
rent deposits $1,000.

Proportion of Churches 90 People
Relative Growth OF Seets.
The London NoncontoTniSt publishes
tables showing the religious accommOda-
ton furnished in eighty-f0ur towns of Eug-
land and Wales, excluding the metropolis.
The population Of the eighty-four towns is
5,9l3,919 the number 0; places OF worship
is S43; and the number Of sit5iRgs 2,644,-
522, and the propGrtion of sittings to popu-
laiion 1t A per cent. Adopting the old rule
that only IS, per cent, OF the entire popula-
ton require religious accommodation, by
reason of the necessary abseDce OF children,
invalids and others, il would appear that
there is deficiency in these "a towns OF
only IA per cent. Comparison shows that
in the last twenty-one years there has been
an increase of 527 places OF worship and
of 929, ,93T sittiDgs. The population OF the
towns has increased at the rate of "a per
cent, while the religions accommodation
has been augmented at the rate Of 40 per
cent. The comparison as between the Es-
tablisbed Church and the unestablished
churches foots up IS follows: Established
Church, I,50S places of worship, 1,040,672
sittiugs; unestablished churches, 1886 plA-
ces of worship, 1,60j,s51 sittings; in favor
of unestablished churches, 1927 places of
worship 563, ,I79 siLtlngs. Thus it appears
that in these 81 towns, with an aggregate
population of nearly 100000, the es5ab-
iishment provides two fifths Of the means
of public worship, and the religious bodies
outside Of the establishment three-ffths
The increase of the various religious bodies
within these 2l years is stated to be as fol-
lows: The Established Church, 81 per
cent; the Roman Catholic Church, 80 per
cent, the Unitarians, "a per cent; the Wes-
leyans, 81 per cent; the COngregatiOnslsts,
so per cent, and the Baptists, 50 per cent.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Wm. L. Lang
ston, a son Of the old lady who, with little
girl living with her, was found murdered in
her bed recently, near Paradise, Coles coun-
ty, Illinois, has confessed TO the killing OF
both parties. The Only motive he assigns
is the instigation and persuasion of bis wife
who never had pleasant feelings toward the
old lady. In addition to this, it is proba-
bility that Langston and bis wife were
somewhat over anxious to get possession of
his mothers properly. There is a very strong
feeling against the murderer in the neigh
borhood where the tragedy occurred, and
had be not been removed by the officers
he would probably have received summary
justice.

HINTS.

If you are introduced to stranger by
friend, and he retains his hold of your
hand, expressing great delight in having
the honor Of your acquaintance, be sure he
don't care fig for you or your acquaint-
ance.
When you hear man declare he is the
wisest in his line of business, set him down
as the weakest, and all thinking men will
approve your decision.
When you hear an editor call his brother
editor an ignoramus, be sure he has applied
the epithet to the wrong man.
When you hear man relate story
which has the appearance Of truth, and
close it with an oath, set it down as doubt
full
When you hear man boast of his piety,
tends.
When you hear man boldly declare
that there is not an honest man to be
found, lend him mirror.
When you hear man justify profane
swearing on the ground of habit, don't
make him your agent in business.
If you think of forming a partnership
with man of whom you know but little,
invite him (before signing papers) to take
a walk of ten squares and back, and if he
elbows you into the gutter, or runs you
against the walls Of the buildings, be sure
and take time to consider the matter.
If your clerk or salesman is civil and po-
lite, avoiding all that is vulgar and profane,
while engaged in his duties, but is found
in the saloon as profane and vulgar as the
most abandoned, keep your money under
lock and key and have all bills paid on
tickets to the cashier
If man tells you he does all his business
on conscientious principles, don't put him
to the test.
