A Reunion Picnic,

An old-fashioned good time was en-.
joyed at Hannah Montgomery's, near
Rainsboro, last Saturday. Relatives and
members of the family to the number OF
fifty came together during the morning
at the old homestead bringing the good
things with them, and at noon sat down
to dinner in the garden, to which all
did justice with good appetites, the
venerable lady, Mrs. Montgomery, pre-.
siding at the head of the table.
The persons present varied in age from
one to eighty years, but all felt young
and cheerful as children on this occasion.
The time was passed in musical enter
tainment, singing and pleasant conver-
sation. The music was furnished by
John Montgomery's family, including
his boy of eight years, and Jerome Cos
sett. One of the most pleasant events
of the day was the presentation OF a
handsome dress to Aunt Hannah Mont
gomery by her four nieces, Nancy
Redkey, Randa Skeen, Rachel Gossett
and Mary Milliken. Theyoungest MEM
ber OF the party was the pretty and
sprightly baby of Freddie Montgomery,
and the Oldest and most beloved was
Aaunt Hannah Montgomery, in whose
honor the day was celebrated. We
were blessed with delightful weather
and good health and good cheer, with
no depressing occurrence during the day.

Soldiers, Attention !

"a trumpet that gives forth no uncer-
tain sound" is the tocsin of war against
the gallant men that stood bravely in
the front in the dark days OF the historic
"6O's," as proclaimed in the "must be's, :
of John @. Tarnsey, Democratic United
States Representative from Missouri and
published in the N. Y World. There
can be no question that he clearly out
lines the purpose of the Southern wings
OF the party he represents. Under the
plea of retrenchment and reform this
would be illustrious leader airs his
"billingsgate" language beautifully. Old
soldiers are characterized as "bummers,"
''frauds" and "perjurers." Hear him.
"Fifty per cent. of the pensions now
paid are based on fraud and perjury the
pension roll must be cut down: the ini-
quitous Morrel Bill must be repealed !:
the pension business must be transferred
to the War department and every pen.
sioner must be compelled to prove a,aew
his right to be on the pension list pub
lie expenditures must be retrenched and
there is only one place where cut can be
made and that is on the pension rolls !;
the political party which means TO re-
tain Office and power in this country
must cut down the pension roll fifty per
cent, weed out all the bummers and
frauds, and see that the entire expendi-
ture goes to those who deserve it," are
some of the expressions used by Mr..
Tarnsey in his interview with the N. Y.
World.
Soldiers, be on your guard Repub-
licans, as custodians of our country's
honor in the debt due the men who in
the "6O's" fought for the old flag and the
preservation of the Union for the life of
the nation, look to it, that the evil de-
signs so boldly proclaimed by Tarnse Y
and his colleagues are frustrated!

Farmers Cannot Complain.

Farm profits will be one billion dollars
more this year in the United States than
they have been during the recent years
of depression. At least this is the esti-
mate put forward by the American Agri-
culturalist in its annual review of the
harvests to be published in the forth
coming September issue of that maga.
zine. On the basis of present prospects
this authority estimates the corn crop of
1891 at 1000, 900, 900 bushels, wheat 500,-
100000 bushels, and oats 622,000.000
bushels against 1,5OO, 900 and 524, 900, 900
bushels respectively in 1890, and 1,7O0,-
445 and 578, 100000 bushels as the aver.
age preceding eleven years. This makes
the total prospective crop of corn, wheat
and oats 3,122,OOO,OOO bushels, or 2s.S
per cent. greater than last year, and 147.
per cent over the average of the preced-
ing years.
The american Agriculturalist believes
that unless unexpected influences wholly
change the current Of events, the value
Of corn on the tarm will average in De-
cember fully fifty cents bushel, wheat
one dollar per bushel and oats at least
forty cents. On this basis the value Of
the corn crop to the farmers will be
| 81, ,OOO, 100000, wheat $500 600, 900. and
oats $3.50, ,OO0, 900. or total of s., ,750, 900
This is 45O, 900 more than the value
of these crops in 1890, and $625, 5,OOO, ,0O(
more than the value of these crops from
1880 to 1890, inclusive.
I Cotton and rice will command better
prices than last season. Cattle are
worth one-third more than eighteen
4 months ago, with other live stock ir
proportion. Tobacco is advancing heav
lily for cigar leaf. Hops are firm at good
prices, winter fruit will command large
values, and all vegetables are yielding
fairly with every indication OF remun
erative market.
The export outlook was never better
Immensely increased sums will be SEN
to the United States for our product
Ulterior influences may, of course, in
terfere with the brilliant prospects, but
we confess we are beginning to share
more fully the hopes of well informed
but conservative agriculturalists who
predict better profits for the farmers o.
the United States.
| The american Agriculturalist says there
will be no return of "war" prices, bu
money received above expenses will e
further and enable the farmer to gel
more value out Of his profits than at any
previous period.
