CROPS AND TRADE.
The Condition of Farmers and Merchants
in the Various Counties.
RELMONT COUNTY, o.

BELMONT COUNTY, o.
Prospects OF CropS-The prospects
are that wheat will be about so per cent.
Of a crop, and oats 40 to so per cent.
Corn and potatoes, too early TO predict.
The cold and wet weather kept them
backward, but good growing weather
will soon bring them on. Apples and
pears, good on hills, say - to so per
cent. Of a crop, but mostly killed on low
grounds by the frost, and cherries and
plumS are about the same. Strawber
rieS will be about - per cent of crop,
and raSpberrieS about so per cent.
Condition of Trade-Trade is fair and
incur manufacturing towns the factories
are most running full and selling
products. The trade throughout the
county and smaller towns is regarded as
fair, and failures in the county have been
few and unimportant.
MONROE COUNTY, o.
Prospects of CropS-FarmerS are feel
ing much more encouraged that they
did a month since. The dry weather of
April aud the first half of May became
alarming, and then the freeze and cold
weather was very diScOuraging to the
farming interests. The wheat was
somewhat injured by the frost of May,
but still is a fair average crop or more.
Corn is late, was not planted in usual
time. owing TO the dry weather, but is
doing nicely now. and oats and grass
both doing well. Ii will be fair crop.
Vegetables and all kinds of fruit, fair.
Trade is not rushing, but fair in this
section.
BARBOUR COUNTY.
Prospects of CropS.-The prospect is
that every crop will be good, except it
be the hay crop. Wheat, corn potatoes
and all fruits here look as though we
should have fine crop.
Condition of Trade.-Trade is not
good. Money is scarce and our people
are greatly indebted. Every term of
Court brings an end to the business
career of some three 10 six farmers by
a public sale of their lands. Agricult-
ure is depressed, which makes business
dull for all other classes.
BRANTON COUNTY.
Prospects of CropS.-The crops look
well in this section, and there is pros
pect OF fair average yield.
Condition of Trade.-BuSineSS is good
and the railroad operations have infused
new life into the county. The lumber
business in this county is in flourish
ing condition, aud the prospects are for
a prosperous year.
CALHOUN COUNTY.

rpSuuR COUNTY.

Prospects of CropS.-The prospects
for all kinds of crops, cereals and fruits
is fair The May frost was damaging
but there is enough left.
Condition of Trade.-Trade is a little
dull at present as money is always lit
tie scarce at this season. The prospects
for the advancement of this section are,
however, very promising. The widen
ing of the railroad from Weston to this
point to standard gauge and the eX-
tension of the line to Newton, right in
the heart of the timber country, has
placed US on more equal footing with
other places, and enables our lumber
men to handle their output much more
satisfactorily. The "boom" movement
will also it is thought help us along, as
there are now good inducements for all
manufacturers to whom cheap timber
and lots of it, is an advantage.

have a large crop of apples and small
fruit of all kinds. The frost injured
fruit some, but still enough is left on
the trees to make more than an average
CROP. Potatoes will be good crop if
the weather is favorable from this on.
Taking everything into consideration
this year, the farmers will have fair
crops all around.
Condition of Trade-Most OF our
tradesmen complain of dull times, but
for no particular reason and we cannot
tell. There, however, seems to be Il
lack of money, and those VINO have it
do not seem to use it to any extent.
Wool in this county is large article
of commerce, but is moving off very
slowly for the want of buyers and on
account of the low price offered for it.
The highest price offered is only %
cents pound. Would therefore say
that trade is only moderately good
here.

Prospects of Crops-Very little wheat

about half crop, and other crops give
promise of being up to the average.
The May frosts, while they did some
damage, have not hurt us materially.
Condition of Trade-Trade is good,
and business is in a steady move for

The following strange history has been
whispered abroad concerning one Of the
principal dressmakers of Paris, woman
whose taste and elegance of design in
certain details of feminine costume are
well known Ii appears that there
exists in Paris a law forbidding any
house that employs work people from
forcing them TO work after a stipulated
hour, which is, think, 10 o'clock. The
pressure Of orders inevitable to the exhi
bition season tempted Madame K 10

in full tide Of operation one evening
near midnight when an ominous sum
mons sounded at the door followed by
the dreaded mandate: open, in the

While we congratulate the people OF
the whole northwest, and especially tie
citizens Of Dakota. on the consumnlation
OF their long desire, the opening of the
reservation by no means puts an end to
the Indian problem as far as the Sioux
are concerned On the contrary, il is
scarcely more than the beginning. Only
part Of the reserve is acquired by the
government; and the same questions will
doubtless arise in future, as to that part
which have proved 50 vexatious in rela-
ton to the whole No settlement can
ever be regarded as final which stops
short Of the absolute allotment Of lands
In severalty and the adding OF all that
remains to the public domain Again

with its issue Of rations and consequent
tendencies toward idlcness and vice. has
scarcely a friend remaining. Yet we
have only the same thing in another
form in the practice OF accommodating i'm
mense cash funds for the benefit of the
Indian, to be held in trust BY the nation,
while interest is paid regularly to the
beneficiary. The purchase Of these lands
by the nation means permanent invest
ment in trust for the Indian And it is
not according to nature that quarterly
payment to him of so many dollars in
cash az interest will be any less democrat
izing than the issue of SD many blankets
