THE s1AsoN1C FESTIVAL.

Our Masonic friends had fine day Fri
day for their pic mic, dedication, and ball.
Early in the morning teams and buses were
engaged in conveying the people to the grove
just above the county bridge on the north side
OF the Neosho.
By noon very pleasant audience assembled
in the grove 70 listen TO the address of Mr..
Brown, OF Leayenworth. We were sorry to
be deprived Of the pleasure Of being one OF his
auditors. His address is spoken of in the high
est terms by those who heard lt.s II was re-
plete with information and sound advice to
members of the order.
At the close OF the address the baskets OF
dinner were opened, and all enjoyed a feast
in true pic mic style. The people returned
from the grove in the afternoon. IN a happy
mood.
At half past seven o'clock the people gath
cred at the new Masonic hall in the third story
Of Ruggles & Plumb's new building, to wit
ness the dedicatory ceremonies. These were
conducted by G. w. n. Brown. OF the Grand
Lodge, assisted by the officers. Everything
was done in an impressive manner. A choir
of ladies and gentlemen of the city assisted
with some excellent music.
The Masonic fraternity Of Emporia can now
boast Of one Of the neatest and best furnished
halls in Kansas. The room is covered with
fine Brussels carpet, and furnished with
marble-top stands. The anti-rooms are fitted
with nice three-ply carpets. Everything about
the hall and the exercises denoted order, as
well as purity and benevolence.
At the end Of the these ceremonies the bali
at Bancroft hall commenced. 1t was not
largely attended, but those present enjoyed
themselves none the less. The music by the
string band was excellent. The supper at
Laugier's was tastefully gotten up, and the
table groaned with good things.

EMPoRIA.-Mr. H. Z. Smith, editor of the
Irving Recorder, who recently spent few
days here visiting friends, thus speaks Of us
on his return:
We reached Emporia at z. A., and as we
walked up to and down Commercial street III
our quest for friends, we were pleasurably
struck with the appearance of things general
ly. We had supposed we should see q pleas
ant town, but We were unprepared TO see the
fine blocks Of business buildings, so many OF
which rose majestically on either side OF the
street, and which would do honor to city of
1900 or 10000 people. During our stay we
took note Of the fact that live men are at the
helm in Emporia, and as \ consequence the
town Is moving rapidly on to an important
destiny. We see no reason why she should
not remain the Queen City of Central Kansas.
Emporia has good court house, built sub
stantially Of stone, with the Jail underneath it,
She has also the Normal Institute, which is q
large and imposing stone structure. She is
building several fine churches, has many ele-
CANT residences and is continually making
hrst-clasS improvements.
There are four good hotels and three news
papers. All, by the Wayne called on the
newspaper men, as matter OF course. We
found the Hon. Jacob StotIer hard at work on
his paper, which by the way has long been re-
cognIzed as one Of the leading papers in the
State. Its size and influence are commensur-
ate; and we presume that II the truth were
known the NEWS has done more for Emporia
than any half dozen agencies combined. Mr..
Stotler IS genial gentleman whose acquain-
ance we are glad to have made, and to whom
we are indebted for fayors received. He COM
menced printing the NEWS fourteen years ago.
He has now some fine presses and a splendid
lot Of material.
Among the heavy firms of Emporia we will
mention that OF Aid. A. Baker 6 Co., whole
sale grocers, whose annual sales are immense,
and whose dealings are widely known to be
on the square in all respects. This is a branch
Of the Lawrence house OF Ridenour & Baker,
Of which house there are also two other
branehes-one at Topeka and the other at
Tioga.

tlemen's dress goods We wish him success,
for there is plenty Of room.
"A good lumber yard would do well here.
We also want 4 hardware and agricultural
implement store.
The Hartford nursery OF Chambers &
Baysinger, and the Neosho Valley nursery of
d. II. Barden 4 Co., keep US well supplied
with fruits and vegetables.
The Hartford land agents, Harden & Bro,
have now for sale, on reasonable terms, 90
600 acres of good tilable land, and 600 lots in
Hartford and adjoining towns. Information
in regard to these will be furnished cheer
fully.
We claim to have as good a graded and
common school as there is IN the county.
Students from a distance are received. Board,
with good advantages, can be had for $3.50 to

FOURTH OF July AT HARTFoRD.-The citi-
zens OF Hartford have decided to celebrate the
national holiday in becoming manner, and
are making arrangements to have brass
band and public speakers, and there will be a
basket picnic, all TO be held in the grove north

jon WoRK.-We have seen a few jobs OF
cards, bill-heads, letter-heads. etc., within
the last month, that were done in some eastern
city. They were given 10 bumners. or course
they were done little chesper than we could
do them, because they get large numbers of
them 70 do. Take bill head or letter head,
for instance, and they very often get orders
for thousands, with only line or two to
change. 1t is not right TO send work on be-
cause it Is little cheaper, provided if can be
done well at home. Suppose we should go to
advising folks to go on to buy goods. People
can make just As much money buying goods
in Chicago. n the business man can, by get
ting his printing done there. This il rule
that works both ways. We are dependent
upon each other, and If we are TO thrive here
in the printing business we must have the
work to do.

Fro accuracy Of machinery and adaptability, to
the various wants Of the family, We believe the
Empire is the best Sewing Machine before the pub

seen a machine which does accurately such very
fine stitching as this. We do not consider that
perfection has yet been obtained. There certainly
is room for great improvement in the Sewing Ma
