Death of Abner Shumake, Est

Abner Shumake, Esq, prominent
and useful citizen of Mt. Sidney, Angus
TIA county, died at his home in that place
of cancer of the stomach on Sunday, the
18th ult, in the 18th year of his age.
Mr. Shumake was a quiet, unobtrusive
man, but of strong convictions and much
firmness OF character. He commenced
life as a blacksmith but abandoned the
trade some years since, and, in conjunc>
ton with his brother-in law, Mr.. William
P. johnson, as the senior member of the
well-known firm of Shumake and john
son, devoted his time to farming and
was quite successful, having accumu>
lated a nice competency. Deceased
leaves wife and eight children, three
sons and five daughters, besides many
other relatives to mourn his death. The
remains were inferred at Mt. Sidney on

whose church deceased had long been a

The Fall Outlook.

1t argues we'll for the prospects of the
fall trade that we enter upon it with
such substantially good conditions. But
when to these assurances is added the
promised results of the harvest, it seems
warrantable to expect a season of ex
ceptional prosperity. AS prospects now
stand, we may calculate upon the crop
results of 1891, taken as a whole, sur
passing those OF any previous year. If
the previous promise of the cotton crop
should be realized, we shall have a close
approximation to the great product of
last year. Corn, according to the acre
age and condition reported to the agri-
cultural bureau, is likely to give at least
an average output For the wheat
crop, the lowest estimated yield is 500
900, 900 bushels and the maximum five
hundred and seventy five to six hundred
millions, against last years crop of AGO.
100000 A harvest like this is the one
thing needed to put the business
of the country in tirst>class condition.
The farmers have been suffering for so
many years from low prices for their
products, that their industry has
been undergoing a steady decadence
A harvest such as we have now promis-
ed will enable them to liquidate a large
amount of debt and provide them with
better facilities for cultivation. 1t will
mean so many more millions of capital
put into reproductive resources, and it's
benefits will therefore be permanent.
! The memory of last years extraordi-
nary drain of cash to the interior and Of
| the consequent destructive stringency
in the loan market gives rise to some
anxiety as to how far we may be expos
ed this fall to a like experience. And
yet there seems to be no serious ground
for such ayprehensions. Last year con
fidence was Frustrated by a world wide
crisis, and trade was thereby denied its
usual credit facilities at the season when
it needs them most; no such conditions
exist now This year the cash resources
of the New York banks available for
helping the crop movements are nearly
double what they were a year ago, add
ed to which we are in a position to CONS
mand from Europe any amount OF gold
we are likely to need for interior purpos
es, by virtue Of the extraordinary pur-
chases of grain which the continental
nations will have to make in our mar
kets. While, therefore, we may expert
ence a reasonably active money market,
we see no reason for experimenting any
embarrassing stringency,
Assuming then that the harvest turns
out as it now promises, it seems safe to
anticipate for the second half of the
year run of active and prosperous bus
mess.

fraud OF the worst and most mischievous
kind. 1t has been found to be SO nearly
everywhere it has been tried, and where
it has been adopted, as a general rule, at
the first opportunity the community has
returned to license We are not, indeed,
We must recognize the fact that the
tendency of human nature is to evil, and
that passions and appetites must be
harnessed and restrained by agencies
calculated to repress and regulate rather
than drive to extremes. In the attempt
to effect the latter, failure almost invaria>
bly, fellows with more lamentabie results
than if the attempt had not been made.
These passions and appetites cannot be
regulated by abstract sentiment, or alb
solutely drastic measures. But they can
be controlled by change III the moral
perceptions OF men, and the inculca-
ton OF religious truths, adopted and
practiced in life. .Ranting and denuncia-
ton won't do this work. TO be genuine it
must commence in the heart, and find
expression in daily walk and converse
ton. There are some, who are preach
ing prohibition who we would not trust
out of sight with bottle. We have
known them to proclaim temperance as
the alpha and omega OF their existence,
| and then conspire with rum shops for
the sake of office. We have heard them
denounce men who never taste or touch
| liquor, because they would not co oper-
ate in an impracticable crusade against
license, and forty-eighthour afterwards
be quaffing at the flowing bowl. Such
apostles of temperance cannot be relied
on, nor can their work be productive of
good. The whole question should be
considered soberly in all of it's phases,
and practically dealt with from a bust
ness standpoint, and that alone, for there
is no issue of morality involved as the
case now stands and will stand on the
22nd of August, the day of election.
