4 Call.

A call is made to the many friends
of Brother Harry May, for the funds
to buy him horse and buggy in
which he can travel from place to
place, to hold meetings. We are
sure that hearty response will be
be made to this call by the friends
of Bro. May. Please forward your
donations to Bro. Isaiah Reid. Neva.
da, Iowa. Yours in Christ,
ID. NJ. WARD.

OFallon, Mo-, May 13. 81.
The above came under our notice
last Saturday in certain newspaper
published in this State. We are in
formed that ''Bro. Harry May" is
one of those travelling sinner tem-
ples," which being "without sin,"
go proTling around the country rep
resenting themselves to he rs pure
as our Savior, and that Bro. Harry
May is the same spotless youth who
"enlightened the sinners of Audrain
last year" No man in the world
has more respect for minister of
the gospel as found in the old testa-
ment and in the unrevised new tesla.
ment than the editor of the LEDGER.
At the same time we have no patience
(maybe on account of our ignorance)
with parties who go through the
country holding catch-penny side
shows in the woods representing
themselves as being ''totally without
sin and pure as the Lord Away
with such sacrilege. Down with
such circuses. Away with such
mountebanks. If Bro. Harry May
wants horse TO drag his whitened
sepulchre around through the coun.
try let him plow corn or split rails and
earn one or else ride mule. Bro.
Harry May would lead the world To
believe that he only lacks this horse
and record as fisherman to be tho,
whole twelve apostles. Our personal
acquaintance with the s.sanctified lso.
illness saints," with but few excep-
tions, is very unfavorable. If there
is any ''hOtter place" in hell the hyp-
ocrite will there revel in boiling lead
and warm weather.

A DISCUSSION is now going on in
Europe over the abolition of the death
penalty, and statistics which have
been recently compiled show that the

tried in Switzerland and elsewhere, has
not demonstrated its success as proven

death has been abolished, or the pardon
of capital crime frequent. murders have
become more frequent and human life
made insecure.

THE unfavOrable weather in the spring
seriously injured the great staple crops
in nearly all parts of the country. The
government agricultural reports for
July indicate small and late crop Of
cotton, although the prospect was then
better than on the first of June. Wheat
was also reported better than in June,
although there will be in the great wheat
region considerable falling off from
the yield of last year. An increased
acreage of corn is reported, but the aver
age condition of the crop is given at 90
against 100 last year.

A TERRIBLE disease, known as the
Siberian plague, has appeared in ST.

alarming rapidity. Horses are dying by

A want of efficient medical attendance,
and the fact that the peasants sell the
hides of the diseased animals, render the
local authorities helpless.

In 1880 1,765,645 acres of land in
Michigan were planted in wheat and
yielded 30,526,567 bushels, an average of
1929 bushels per acre. This year the
wheat area exceeds that of 1880 by 49,
220 acres. Statements have been receiv-
ed by the department of state at Lansing
from 772 supervisors, giving estimates
of the average yield in their townships,
and from calculations based on that the
secretary of state places the Michigan
yield the present season at 100000
bushels, or l4,326.567 short of the yield
of $780, unless this estimate is consider
ably under the facts the loss is of sufIi-
cient magnitude to be severely felt by
agriculturists. From statement from
the Department Of State we see that the
average yield for Cheboygan county was
for the year 1880, only 11.09 bushels per
acre. The first time in q number of
years that the production Of our county
has fallen below the average of the state.
