SoCIABILILITY.-People of Western towns.
in the rush to accumulate property and secure
homes for themselves, seem to forget that they
have any neighbors, or that they should de-
vote Il portion of their time to the cultivation
of friendly feelings with those who live in the
same town with them. People who were socia-
bic in the East and observed all the Eules of
cultivated society while there, seem to forget
that they owe anything to the good of society,
or that. it is their duty to observe the rules of
even polite etiquette when they come west.
The desire to become rich seems to be the
cause of great many people coming west,
and they allow that desire to absorb their en-
tire time, to the exclusion of everything else.
While it is perfectly legitimate and proper for
people to accumulate property as fast as they
can, it is not right for them to neglect every
thing else to secure this end. Society has its
claims Oil every one, and it should be the duty
of all to give portion Of their time to further
the interests of society. 'Well,'' says one,
"what do care for society or the claims of my
neighbOrs upon me, provided I make
money! We presume there is as much socia-
bility in Emporia as other Western towns. but
still there is not that friendly intercourse ex-
listing here there ought to be. We not for Il
moment in favor of the clap-trap formalities of
what is called Questionable society," but are
in favor of cultivating friendly feeling with
our neighbOrs. We are daily receiving Access
sions to our town. These newcomers are
truly strangers in a strange land" 1t does
not make any difference how well they are
pleased with the country, if they do not meet
with friendly greeting from those who ought
to be their friends, they are apt to become dis
satisfied. We all have left near and dear
friends in the East whose society often
yearn for; and while we are deprived of the
society of those whom we know to be our
friends, we are not debarred from the privilege
of cultivating the love and friendship of many
who just loveable those whom we
have left behind. Let those who have been
neglecting this matter remember that it is a
duty that they owe to themselves, to their
neighbors and to society in general, to cult
vate Il feeling of friendship with all those who
