the following memorial
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April %, 1882.
To the Presbytery of Memphis. convened at
Somerville, Tenn, April 26, 1882:
The undersigned would respectfully represent
that the conduct of the Rev n. NJ. Long has be-
come a grievance in the following particulars
He has ceased to preach with any view of build
ing up the Presbyterian Church; he has, without
the consent of the Presbytery, been the chief ac
tor in the organization of an independent
church-not Presbyterlan-in Memphis he has
served this organization regularly as its minister
without consulting the Presbvtery; he has
publicly announced that he has undertaken this
work as something permanent, and that he has
no higher ambition than to carry it on. This
conduct on his part is highly detrimental to the
unity, peace and prosperity of the Presbyterian
Church in Memphis; it is subversive of the law
and order of the Presbyterian Church at large
We therefore lay before the Presbtery this mem
orial. and We ask that the Rev ~ NJ Long be
directed to desist from the work in which he is
now engaged and to attend to his duties as
Presbyterian minister, if he remain within the

eral, in arguing against the constltutionality
of the law establishing probate courts in Cook
ana La Sale counties. maintains that leach"
means all: that If the legislature establishes a
probate court IN one county having over 90
600 inhabitants it must establish court in all
such counties, whether they need or want 1t or
not. On the other hand those who maintain
the constitutionality Of the law insist that the

the word zone" understood after it, and refers
therefore to all counties Of over $4,000 inhabi-
tants taken one AT time. The argument GER
,anly seems to be on the side OF the latter
While the constitution throughout favors gen
eral laws only, 1t clearly makes an exception
in this case, and the exception is no greater to
say that probate courts may be established in
one or two counties at a time than to say that
they shall be established in 10 Of the lOi or
more counties IN the state at one time.

ILLINOIS CROP REPORTS.

! The Illinois State Board of Agriculture have
issued their annual circular reviewing the
crop prospects and outcome in Illinois fol
1891, The year is summed up as having been
one of great expectations and greater disap
pointmcnts" The wheat crop, although @
larger area had been sown than ever before
was but 22,374, 1863 bushels, against So sos, 30G
in 1880, and the smallest wheat crop produced
IN the state IN the last twenty years The corn
crop, also, was smaller than in any of the six
preceding years. the total yield being 174,49l,
FOG, against 25O, 697 ,O36 bushels in 1880.
For La Sale county, the Board present the
following summary for 1881:
The quality of corn is generally good, the
yield per acre much below an average. The
area of winter wheat is larger than last year,
and the condition Is much above an average.
Rye looks we'll not as large acreage sown as
last year. The supply Of fat hogs and cattle
is less than usual at this season. Farm AMI.
mails are generally healthy and in good win.
ter condition; there has been some pink.eye
among horses, and a few cases of cholera
among hogs. The fall season WAS open, and
warm rams have been frequent; the roads have
been almost impossible. Insects have done
more damage than usual the past season; the
chinch bugs injured corn and oats. Farmers
generally agree that tile draining pays, and
there Is large demand for tile. Nearly all
the improved breeds of stock have been intro
duced into the county, and inferior or SCRUB
stock Is scarce.
The Board lament their inability to procure
a reliable meteorological correspondent for
this county. Is there not some one in the
county taking regular observations of the
weather who is not willing to send reports
say once month, of the temperature, RAINFALL
etc, to Secretary Fisher, of the Department of
Agriculture, at Springfield, H.?

VOTE FOR Z. c. ALLEN.

While up TO this hOur-Within two days OF

opposition will be offered to the election of +
G. Allen as mayor of Ottawa, yet our advice
to every voter who has the good name and

and vote for f. G. Allen. There are strong
elements in this city to whom any result of
the election that promises an honest careful
and business.like administration OF its govern
ment Is undesired and dreaded. The voting
is by ballot-secret-and the voting places are
scattered over seven different outlying wards.

of Mr. Allen is at all events insured and gen.
