The year 1882, Mr.. Editor, will be
noted for many things out of our
regular routine of passing time.
The murder of the greatest and
boldest chieftain of banditti ihe
world has ever produced. The exc
cution of criminal whose crime
paralyzed the nation about a year
ago who should have paid the PEN
atty of his crime months ago, and
at one-fourth of the cost the country
will have to pay. We are great
country, n great people, with plen :
ty of money and men who know
how to get the most of it. won
der how much that 40 feet of manil-
la cord will bring cut up into inch
relics. Ten feet of cotton would
have answered the purpose just as
we'll and not SO much left to be re-
tailed out at fabulous prices and re-
tanned to remind us of our civiliza-
ton. But am getting off my sub
ject. The years record for storms
and cyclones will have no equal in
our history. But the best reports
will be from the bureau of agricult-
ure. Oh, how beautifully is mother
earth responding to the cries of her
distressed children. She is now
overlooking with good things. Veg
etables of every kind in the greatest
abundance. The largest wheat
crop that we have had for years T
wish twas a little dryer) is being
threshed and marketed. under
stand that great deal has been re-
jected that was bought for early
delivery owing to not being in a
merchantable condition. This of
course will be very unsatisfactory to
the producer, who as general
thing think it is hard for the buyer
OF their produce to deal justly with
them. My advice to all would be,
never sell anything until you are
ready, when ready deliver, take the
market price and nine times out of
ten you will do rs well as those
who sell before they are ready,
or those who hold for an advancing
market.
The corn crop, which was very
slow in starting off to grow, in the
last four weeks has made up all
lost time and bids fair to be the
best we have had for many years.
With corn for "hog and hominy"
and plenty of wheat for cake, why
should we not be happy and have
hearts overlooking with grotitude
to the Glver of all good. q
The tobacco crop is fully an aver
age one, and is in good condition,
excepting the many showers we
are having makes the grass grow in
II hurry and stops the plows. With
twenty days dry weather we would
be the greatest blessed people on
earth.
The rye crop did not do as well
as it might. About one-half of the
heads are blighted from some cause,
but we can afford to do without it |
very we'll one season, for we have
no ice and it is said the two always |
go together. ... .....
We are very quiet on the political
questions of the day. think the
general opinion of the people is to
go for Bate as the only way of de-
feating the Republicans. .That's
the fellow we are after" This SEN
timent is universal with the high
taxer and the low taXer. We are
like Tom Marshall when he was
a big Wing speech in Chi
cago, friend asked, "Tom, what
are you doing here?" he answered,
"thowing stones at this intermina-
BILE Democracy, and l don't care a
d-n whose pile they come FROM"
We want to stone Mr.. Hawkins
out, and will ask no questions as to
where the stones come from. i
Candidates are getting as thick as
negroes at IA funeral. 1t takes
about one-half OF ones time to hear
their reasons tor wanting to serve
the dear people.
Esquires j. NJ. Anderson and J.
L. Killebrew are out for reelection.
They have served us long and
and are we'll qualified to
10 the business that comes before
hem. There are several other
names spoken OF. any of which are
rood material for making esquires.
Mr.. M. w. West viii have walk !
,yer for constable, which Office he
las filled very satisfactorily for the
asst two years. If any OF our town :
riends want any collecting done,
i've it to Mercer, IL he fails to coll
ect il none other need try.
