Agricultural society.

There is some talk of organizing an Agricul-
tural Society in Lyon county. We presume it
would not be difficult to get large number of
townspeople TO join q society of this kind. The
difficulty Is to get sufficient number Of farm
ers interested I'm it, TO take the lead and make
the meetings interesting and beneficial. Large
numbers OF Eastern men are coming into our
county and settling on farms. While they may
have been excellent farmers in the East, they
entirely unacquainted with the nature of
Kansas soil and climate. and will necessarily
fail to some extent in their efforts to farm here
unless they are properly Informed by those
who have lived here some years. and have been
successful in making good farms. 1t is our
duty, rs older citizens TO give to those who
have come here to make their homes with US,
the benefit of our experience. An Agriculture
al Society, encouraged by our Oldest and best
farmers, could be conducted in a manner
tn at would prove very beneficial to the older
farmers, as well as to those who have recently
come among us. If society of this kind is
organized arrangements should be made TO
publish so much Of the debates as would be
likely to interest the farming community. We
hope to see this subject agitated until n society
is organized and placed on permanent footing.

AddItions-Snd.

Additions" are the order. Lots of folks has EN-.
We ought to have one We always anticipated a
great deal of pleasure in having addition to En-
pOria. We could in our fancy, look down the dim
future for various and numerous generations and
see fellows describing the boundaries of town lots
In our addition. That had been our plan to trans
init our initials to those that shall follow us. But
alas this source of glory is cut OF. Three four
years ago a fellow offered some land adjoining
town Mt s. per acre, that would have made n fine
addition. There was twenty dollars between us
in the trade, and let the chance 60 thinking
he would come down little. 1t has always been
mystery to us that we didn't buy, he offered to
sell on credit Now there is no chance. In some
places additions n mile deep and the prospect
Is that they will not stop till they get two miles
deep all around town. We haven't got money
enough to buy even IA lot In any of the additions.
We almost regard our mission In life as n failure.
We wish we had been related to Peabody, or the
fellow that gave $4,000 to endow a Vigilance Com
mittee in New York city, although we should not
be happy to rob such worthy object of its funds.
The harvest Is Over-the summer is gOne-and we
haven't got any addition. Goodbye, glory.

The Robinson House. situated on the corner of
Merchants street and Sixth Avenue has had a large
addition built to it, and has undergone such radical
changes since il has fallen into the hands of the
present proprietor, that deem it but justice to
him and to the public to give description of the
improvements, together with the buildings furni-
ture, etc. The main building is 40N65 feet three
stories high with addition 20x6O feet two stories
high. Passing mp broad stairway TO the mann

clean and tidy. Besides the other furniture i'm the

OF the oilce Is the family ROOM which is large and
well furnished. Adjoining the Office is the cloak

Emporia Library Association.
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting.

a large number OF citizens met ut Presbyte-
rian Hall last Tuesday evening to perfect the
organization OF the Emporia Library Assoeia-
ton. a deep interest was manifested in the
proceedings, and the general feeling was
that il would be a success a charter from the
State has been applied for, which Will be here
in time to act upon at the next meeting. The
town is being canvassed for members, and
number have already joined. The next regu-
lar meeting Will be held at Presbyterian Hall
next Tuesday evening. All who feel any in
terest in this matter are invited to be present.
Important business Will be before the meeting.
We can and should have course Of lectures
this winter under the auspices of this society.
Turn out, gentlemen and ladies, and help along
this good work.
We have arrived at that point when it is alb
soiutcIy necessary for US as citizens to provide
some means by which the public can have reg
uIar literary entertainment of some kind dur
ing the long winter evenings. People must
have opportunities for amusement. They scilI
have it at the expense ofeyerything else. There
is an mate desire in the heart of every man
for the society of his fellow-man. This desire
cannot be subdued, although it can and has
been smothered for season in Emporia by the
seemingly more important desire for making
money.
The person who demanded and received
nourishment for the mind in the East is not
changed by coming West. Persons who have
had free access to public libraries, and who
have attended public lectures regularly all
their lives, miss them badly when they come
West. We can and should have here all the
cyilizing and refining influences which sur
rounded us in our homes in the East; in fact
we are fully able to adopt and carry out a pro-
gramme of public entertainments which would
be considerably in advance of those in towns O
equal greater size in more eastern localities.
The question arises-how shall this be done
how shall this desire for recreation and
amusement be met and guided into the proper
channel? How shall we provide means by
which the public have access to public
library and be entertained 10y public lecture,
at least once week, during the winter season
Towns Of larger growth and of more impor-
lance have solved these questions by forming
| Library Associations. Let us follow their
example. Remember the regular meeting next
| Tuesday evening.
