THE WOLF AT TIE DOOR.
widespread DestitutiOn Among the
Farmers in Southern Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, February lit is
we'll known that several counties in the
southern and southeastern part of Illinois
suffered shortage OF crops last summer and
are undergoing great inconvenience in con-
sequence, and lately it has been reported
that some of the people are starving. This
statement is much exaggerated, none are
starving or in great danger of ii; but that
many are in need is true. Some time ago
letters and petitions began to be received
from that section of the State asking the
governor to incorporate in his call, which will
probably be issued for an extra session OF the
legislature, clauses suggesting relief for the
affected counties by extending the time Tor
the payment of taxes. Recently many let
tiers have been received in opposition 10 this
az unnecessary, all giving the reason that as
it would have 10 be general, it would de-
range the finances OF the State, and stating
that the needy people would be cared Tor by
local charity of individuals, and where
necessary that county boards would come
to theit assistance. The State Journal, of
this city, has had reporters in these counties
for the past two weeks, and the accounts re-
ceived indicate that in Wayne, franklin,
Wabash, Saline, Gallatin, White, and some
Others corn was scarcely worth harvesting,
and the wheat crop is practically failure.
The result il that small farmers and the
poorer class OF tenants were deprived of the
means of subsistence, and have been obliged
to sell their stock and in some cases their
teams to buy food. The destitution
isfound chiefly among this class of people.
The worst report yet received comes, to-day,
from Saline county, and says: ain this
county nothing was raised, not even grass.
There are farmers in the county, as well as
people not farmers who are as near stsrva-
ton as they well can come without actually
starving. They are living ON anything they
can con, ert into food to keep soul and body
but one would have TO see it to fully under
stand it." local charity organizations are
being formed for relief. Reports of the crop
prospects from that section are very en-
couraging and are doing much to revive the
spirits of the people, though many will
undoubtedly need relief before they can
obtain it from the new crop.
