To THE FREE TRADER: Having q little

what the outlook is for the coming season MOI

In the first place will speak of the crops
The wheat, oats, barley and potatoes all look
exceedingly promising Most of the sowing

About that Money.

Pedro made statement IN the FREE IRA.
DER of April Goth with regard to the money
spent by the Commissioners OF Highways in
the town of Ophr, stating that the town of
Troy Grove did three times the work we here
done IN Ophr, and that their bills are not SO
large rs ours, which is a mistake, as am IN.
formed by good authority. They spent 81 800,
or an average of 81 800 for the past three years.
We all have plenty OF mud as well as our
neighbors Now we think, friend Pedro, that
we can show more for the money spent than
any town joining US. The next time please
write truth, and there will be no opposition.
As to stealing think one is not guilty till
proved guilty. AS to giving Pedro he'll, it is
uncalled for. 1t is already full OF other sub,
jects. Yours Truly, WAY SIDE.

OATs.-Fifty.flve cents bushel for oats is a
pretty stiff figure in this part of the world and
affects the price of livery as well as of oatmeal
porridge. The present figures, however, can t
hold on much longer, If the June outlook of
the oat crop in Illinois, as gauged by the state
board of agriculture, Is to be relied upon,
which says
The condition Of oats is more promising
than a month ago. An increased acreage or bet
ter yield Is promised IN a majority of the coun,
ties. The area is larger than last season, when
GS,744, 5S4 bushels were harvested, and the con-
dltlOn is more promising than at the cores
pOnding date last year The greatest yield per
acre Is promised in Southern Illinois, and the
condition Is better in Central than in Northern
Illinois. In the north division the acreage is
six per cent greater than last year and the con-
dltion is eight per cent better than at the cor
responding time last year. The crop is above
the average in every county in the northern
division, except Carroll, 10 Davless and Cook.
The prospect is encouraging for an average
yield in the central counties, Adams, Calhoun,
Logan, Pike and Schuyler being the only ones
behind the average, while more than halt OF
the counties promise more than a halt average
yield. The greatest increase OF acreage is IN
the southern portion OF the state. The most
marked improvement the past month Is in the
central division. The prospect has improved
IA per cent. since the first Of May, and the con.
dition June first is 8 per cent. better than that
of June first, 1881.

whereupon the following was offered:
Be it resolved, that we the members
Of the Tennessee students, conference.
assembled. do hereby denounce the
election Of Bishop Payne from first
class car in the state of Florida as an
outrage against humanity, against edu
cation and against age. That we pro-
test against the evil and ungOlly ex-
ercise of that prejudice and caste which
so mo, tify our pride and places n re-
stIaint upon our every action. Be it
further resolved, that as humble stu
dents on the pathway we trust to a
manhood of honor and usefulness, NOV
ed by the same grand impulses, lead on
by the same incentives as other youth
OF the land; as American citizens aud
thus part and parcel Of the govorn-
ment, we ask and respectfully demand
the assistance Of law makers and law
executors in throwing off this obstruc-
ton. that we wage eternal war with
pen aud tongue and that the waters Of
the mighty sea in which floats che great
ship Of state remain not untrOubled un
til this unjust discrimination shall
have passed forever away.
Resolved, That we most heartily en-
dOrse the proceedings OF the indigna-
ton meetings of the col0red citizens OF
thr city OF New York and also those OF
Wilberforce University aud that these
resolutions be given to the press for
general publication.
