DONGOLA LETTER.

DoSGoLA, ILL.,, Nov, 2lst 1888.
Huge quantities of rain is now the ruling
in the region round about Dongos, which
is, no doubt, good for the late sown wheat.
Sowing wheat this fall, in Union county,
was one month later than in former years,
the cause of which was the protracted
drouth ia the fall. The early sown wheat
ia looking very promising, and soon the
late sown will be looking equally well.
With the county "chock" full OF old wheat,
a good crop of oats and hay and full crop
of well-matured corn, the outlook is very
favorable for the citizens of Union county.
There is still room for citizens in the
vicinity of Dongola, and those wishing to
buy homes in fertile region, would do
we'll to buy near Dongols, where the land
is adapted to all the cereals and stock rails
ing, also to the whole curriculum Of fruits,
both large and small. There ere some very
fine lands for the growing Of straw berries
inside the corporate limits of D0ngola, and
In view of the profits connected with that
industry, it is passing strange that none are
engaged in it.
Our business men in Dongoa are all
stocked up for trade during the winter, and
if one may Judge from the crowds of people
visiting stores they are certainly driving to
success.
The latest decision of the Dongola police
judge is, tina, man 'has right to quarrel
in self Defense This decision came from
one of the diruest, most foul-mouthed quar-
rels one can imagine, between two promi-
nent citizens of Dongols, recently. Com
plant being made in due form of law, the
offending parties we're brought before the
police Judge. One of the parties pleaded
guilty aud was fined three dollars anG
costs but not so the other. He put in {
plea that he quarreled in sef-defense; tina
he was assailed with foul language; that h'
would not take it, but retaliated with al
the vehemence and power he had IN tn
use OF cuss words and foul language; bu
as it was purely in self-defense, he didn'
think he ought to pay any fine, and tn
judge said, no, you are acquitted. Well
the longer man lives the older he gets
&c. We did not know before that
man had right to quarrel IL
self defense, using language rougl
enough to shame the devil, and then com
clear because he did so in self.defense.
A few nights ago, one Marcus Sparkman
was found lying in an insensible condition
on West Main street. His head, face AM
mouth we're hammered badly, which ham
mering had been done with stone. Spark
man said the man who did it robbed hin
of fifteen dollars, but as yet has not toll
who did it. A doctor dressed his wound
and at last accounts be was canvalescing.
Our school, under the management
E. Null, principal, is in very prosperou
condition. Mr.. Null fully understand cor
Quoting school, and it is foolsbness fc
any young man to undertake to 'run tn
school" as was tried recently, and CON
pete failure recorded against the youn
man.
