GYPSUM CREEK, Fob. list, 1876.
DEAR JOURNAL : We have just had an
other demonstration OF the effects OF
prairie fires. Yesterday (Sabbath) the
wind was high from the south and the
air was full of cinders and dust. / few
of us gathered at our school house TO
hold services, and each one OF US had to
smile audiblv at the begrimed visa 70 of
our neighbor,as i; was case IN which we
could not "rce ourselves as others saw
u.s." To-day it requires a universal
| cleaning to get off the black dust, blown
from the recently burned prairie, and to
get sand out of our dwellings. Last n gbt
1t raIncd and showed q little, and this
morning the earth looks white, which is
relief from the charrci black prairie
since tho fire. 1t may be that some of our
free soil has gone to Nebraska We
might get it back by strong northern
or, but as the strong winds are more
frequent from TIE south think We are
the losers.
l alluded recently to the damage and
disagreeable consequences OF these prai-
rie fires. And every body is saying they
ought TO DO prevented, but unless the
matter is agilated by or before another
period rolls around it will be forgotten.
Immediately after harvest is done aud
while the grass is green each unoccupicd
section should be moved around, and
as soon as dry ii should be burned of :;
and if fire should acciden,!y or other
wise be started, it could not extend be.
You'd that one section and thus NC might
prevent such terrible aud general con
fagrations us we have had. 1t should
be made the dnty Of some one-say tie
road master, to carry into effect some
such suggestion rs above alluded 10.
think some arrangement ought to be ef-
tected so rs TO inquire into what lcgisla-
ton, If any, is needed for this purpose.
Extensive preparations are being
made in this part OF the country 10
break large amount Of prairie the
coming season, and if we should get Il
good yield next harvest we will be well
on the way TO comparative prosperity.
And If we get the Atcbison, Topeka &
Santa Fee railroad extension TO Salina.
it would give us an impulse in tho d.
rection of progress and development.
BY the way, our people here begin to
want to hear something more concern !
in. said road. | have learned that Il
committee of the incorporators are to
wait on tho President Of the A. T. & S. /
F. company this week, at Topeka.
observe that some parties IN other
counties are purchasing sheep and put
ting them out on shares TO farmers. I
Such men would be received favo:ably |
in our portion Of Saline county. We
have men here who understand sheep
and know how to take care of them, but
have not the capital TO purchase with.
If some monied parties would furnish
the shop, both they and the persons 10
whom they arc let, il rightly managed,
Will find it rcmunerativc.
Yc city denizens must not imagine
that we in the country have bat little en-
ioyment, or mental and social stimulus.

The fair commenced last evening
Several causes conspired 10 make the
gathering of the people small. In the
first place, the arrangement of tho Hall
was not perfected, and the impression
went out that there would be no fair
last evening. Prof. Danicsl' band went
10 Brookville last night 10 play for the
dancers there, and there being no music
in the hall il was not reasonable TO ex-
pect large company. However, tho
room, with il. hastily collected and ar

there enjoyed themselves. 4 person is

useful articles 10 be voted and disposed

'YOU LIE"
The Republican Nominee for Vice

mud Slnnherer

auu
From the Mount Vernon Free Press
'Who is William A. Wheeler" is be.
ing asked by many. And well may it
be asked, especially by the people of
Southern Illinois. William A. Wheeler
is the man who has taken greater pains
to SANDER and blacken the reputation of
the people of Southern Illinois than any
other living man. lie has reflected hard
or upon the intelligence Of our people.
and given those reflections and ISLANDERS
greater weight and notOriety than any
other man could have done. lie calls
Us the land of darkness, says we are
ignorant, and that we, "the inhabitants
OF Southern Illinois, have had the repu-
tauo of being ertreHely ignonaat." Not
being satisfied with making these asser-
tons, he has taken pains To publish il in
the most extensively circulated publica-
ton of its Kind in the world. There Is
not a town in the United States but has
this vile SANDER within its libraries not
| a library of note in the world but what
has upon its shelves Wheeler alluslol
TO our own loved land. Perhaps he did
not know when he was going to SO much
trouble TO give his ISLANDERS publicity, he
would ere long be asking that same igno-
rant people to vote for him for vice
president. But the turn things some
times takes are truly wonderful. Fol
fear some may be little skeptical, We
give Mr.. wheelcr's exact words. On
page lj5s of Webster's Unabridge bic
tionary will be found the following def
milton OF Egypt: ..........
"A cant popular designation of ia,
southern portion Of the state OF Illinois
being iigurative allusion to The 'thicl
darkness in which ancient Egpyt was in
yoiyed tor three days, in the time o
Moses. The inhabitants Of southern n
linois have had the general reputation o
being extremely ignorant"
By referring back to page 1913 of IA,
same book will be found the name O.
