III on Gus per Dushcl, the most reasonable
average price, We will have $5,537, 900 in
cash distributed throughout these three
counties foEths immense Yield Clair.
$3,lS70O0; Randolph, $l,6O0,OOO and Mon.
roc SSOO,OO0." Union county is certainly
not behind Randolph in the production of
wheat; and putting her crop at 100000
bushels, we have an aggregate, in the four
counties, of S,022,37j, worth S7,13s,0OO
This sum is equivalent to sixty dollars to
every man, woman aud child in the four
counties, or to $500 to every family. For
the labor of a single, year the result figured
out Is rather large-larger enough, in any
event to put quietus on complaints from
agricultural sources. No other industry
can figure out result half 50 remunera-

On all sales of Illinois Central Railroad
Lands, made from and after this date the
rate of interest on deferred payments will
be five per cent per annum instead of six
as heretofore. With this reduction Of inter,
est, and the recent reduction in prices
from s. to 81 per acre, on easy terms, the
lands now offered by the Illinois Central
Railroad Company ought to sell very
rapidly, and no doubt will do so. Several
thousand acres of these lands are located in
Alexander county If the company is
really anxious to dispose of them, why
doesn't it adopt rational advertising

The land commissioner need scarcely be told
that if he really wants TO sell the Alexander
county lands, he should arrest the attention
of the people who are most likely to buy:
and the people who are most likely to buy
are the people who read the CAIRO WEEKLY

Glass has wonderful experiences to re-
late, Just now, and takes delight in recount
ing them. Monday night two angels were
in the cell with him all night. The feath-
erS in Their wings shone like polished silver
and gold. and the air was full of delightful
odors. He had wings himself while the
angels stayed; but was told that he
couldn't Use them until he'd passed 10 the
other world. Every night, he says, he goes
off to a great celestial city in the sky, and
sitting on the curD-stCncs he sees great null
titudcs of poor wrctched men and women
on black horses riding toward distant dark
ness, out OF which comes loud thunder and
fierce lightning. Riding the othcrway, to-
ward beautiful sunshine and green pastures
and running waters are a few glad-iaced
people on white horses, and these are all
the time begging and reckoning the
people on the black horses to tam
and ride with them; but the black
horses go ahead and finally dash in o
darkness and gloom and are seen no more.
Among the white horses he saw one with an
empty saddle, and with cry Of JOY he
sprang forward to mount into the saddle;
but an angel gently showed him back,
saying mo, no. Glass; not yet, Bide your
time" and then, quick as flash" he finds
himself in his cell stretched upon his bunk,
nobody but Charley Glass the murderer.
Some Of the poor fellows drcamings, as
for instance, the black and white horses,
are ingenious and quite suggestive.

to her room on Sunday evening, and told
her that she had come to take care of her
and her baby until she grew able to get
around again, and in the evening, per-
suadcd Mrs. 7. to retire while she, the
strange woman, would care for the little
one during the night. Mrs. I. went to
sleep, and did not wake until ) o'clock the
next morning, when she discovered the
strange woman had decamped with the
baby. Supicion that there was foul play
has aroused the authorities who searched
the premises and those OF the adjoining
ncighbors but nothing hasyet been brought
to light The information quoted, trom
the Mt. Vernon News, Of last week. is
given local interest by the belief that the
stolen baby passed through Cairo, last
Thursday. A woman, about 40 years OF
age, having very young infant in arms,
was then seen in the ncighborhood Of tho
