EDITOR BULLETIY--We are here again
with q short communication for the
BULLETIN. Since We wrote last the farm.
ers OF Union county have, in the maine,
FINI SHED SOWING WHEAT,
aud It Is generally understood that the
acreage exceeds that OF last fall by 20 per
cent. Care has been taken in thoroughly
preparing the ground and selection OF
seed; which is the first important step to-.
ward insuring a bountful crop.
Now that bloody fight is going on
In the Orient, and our grainaries are rum
ming over with bread stuffs, we forsooth
cannot help believing that money will be
plenty in the Occident. President Hayes,
too. has got through with his
"swING ROUND THE CIRCLE"
meeting Governor Hampton, burning the
"bloody Shirt" "iilliDg up the "Dloody
chasm," and uniting this great ma ion in
the strongest bonds OF brother.y We.
Glorious consumation. Rejoice, o y, 'own

All the
SCHOOLS IN UNION COUNTY
are now unGcr Roadway, ana grinding
right along. Wedo not positively know,
but our opinion is that the schoolmaster
Is abroad; especially il we may Judge
from the number who have visited our
county in quest of schools. At the same
increase that has been going on for the
last decade, W e can but think that at the
end Of the next decade, the entire pOpu-
lation will be teachers. Then II knowl-
ledge is power, shall we not have pow
er? that Neophyte OF
"THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH
who Is having such time debating
scriptural proposition and quarreling
about his moral character, is still on the
rampage, seeking whom he may de-
YOUR" to convince US that the Missionary
Baptist Church Is the only true church OF
Christ. We shall not be surprised at any
time in hearing that he has been beaten
again, and has again appealed to CH;ar.
We can but hope that the next honest
man he swears falsely against, that he
may get berth in the penitentiary,
where plenty Of hard work will be given
him and, we hope, ample time to repent
OF the black catalogue Of sins that have
him tettered, as with three-ply cord.
May he yet break his letters, eschew
evil and learn wisdom.
THE WHEAT YIELD.
The threshing Of the present crop OF
wheat in Union county, is now a trans
action numbered with things passed. We
think we are safe in writing that the
yield in Union county this season was
over 100000 bushels. We have the fig
ures from tour machines. Kelley 4
billiard threshed lS,400 bushels; Alden Il
Dale, 27,07S bushels; Hofiner & Co., 90
500; William Hoffner & Co., 2l,56S.
These amounts foot up s7,o4G bushels.
There are quite number of other ma.
chimes from which as yet we have no fig.
ures. Now, why any man should get
dissatisfied with Egypt and move to Kan.
sas or Texas, is a problem we cannot
solve II the agricultural portion OF
Southern illinois will only half try they
can make bountlful support; and II they
will not try here, we can see but little
use in tearing up and going to Texas to
fare but middling. OLD TRIM.
