Agricultural Association,

EDITORS EMPORIA NEwS:-What has be-
come OF the Lyon county Agricultural Soeie-
ty? Where is all the enthusiasm, manifested
at a certain meeting last summer? Where is
the committee appointed at said meeting to
procure articles of incorporation? Echo an
swers, Where? Now it appears to me that as
good a county as we have, containing so en-
terprising, wide-awake, energetic and money
making farmers and stock raisers does our
county, there should certainly be ''vim''
enough to successfully carry on No 1 society
for the advancement of agriculture and the
mechanic arts.
1t were needless for me to attempt to por-
tray the benefits arising therefrom. 1 only
write to call out more able pens; but this be-
ing a season of leisure to the farmer, it APP
pears to be the proper time to set the ball in
motion. Who seconds the motion? Don't all
speak at once. STRINGTowN.
The communication is from one of our most
respected and well known farmers, and we
commend the subject to the consideration OF
our citizens generally. There ought to be q
meeting held at an early day to consider it.
Articles Of association were drafted and filed
with the Secretary of State last year, and
whether it be a county or individual affair, il
is one Of eminent Importance, and should re.
ceIve the encouragement of every man in the
county. Suppose that the chairman of the
committee appointed to draft the articles Of
association and file them with the Secretary o.
State call q meeting.

remained in town until he was "pretty con-

green ideas, when he got into his two-horse
wagon, laid whip to his horses and drove
through and out Of town at the imminent risk
Of breaking his wagon TO pieces and dislocat-
. ing his cervical vertebre. Having spilled out
his two bottles Of WHOLESALE this young Je-

over TO Fillmore two pint bottles OF the

There is q fine chance for any one who may
be weary Of delving and scheming for a liyeli-

why we have not had an opportunity to chron-
icle such catastrophe. Hearing that no one
had thought Of it, we concluded to give peo-
pie hint OF it.
