p. MCPHERSON, aged S5 years.
Mr.. Mcpherson was born in North Carolina,
on the 18th OF November, 1885. He came to
Kansas from Iowa in 1865, with some Of his
children. His wife died in Iowa in
1864. He also lost, there, a son and daughter.
His death was not unexpected, as he had been
waiting for some years for the call Of the Mas
ter. He had often declared that he should
soon join the broken band in Canaan's happy
cline. He was q member OF the masonic fra
ternlty for 81 years, and enjoyed its principles
OF love and friendship. He could not attend
the lodge after coming TO this country on ae-
count Of his feeble condition. He never spoke
OF it without wishing 1t God-speed. He had
/ been u meek servant and lover Of the Savior
for 90 years. He was ready to die, and told
those around him not to weep and mourn for
him. just before dying he sang

CoAL--we had considerable to say year
or two ago about coal bank that had been
discovered northwest OF town on the Neosho.
Our information at that time came from r. p.
Dixon. The other day we met him on Com
mercial street carrying three large pieces Of
coal in his arms. He had been prospecting
farther, and had found . ten inch vein on the
farm OF j. II. Allen. He had taken with him
an old coal digger, and he pronounced 1t bet
taking the chunks to q blacksmith TO have
them tested. He was enthusiastic in the opin-
ion that the EmpOria coal Is better than any
now In use. His folks had used 1t, and pro
nounced il better than any OF the other coal
in market. We have not seen Bob since, but
hope his good words for this coal may be yeri-
fed. We are no judge of the article, but the
specimens which Mr.. d. exhibited certainly
looked like good coal.

REAL ESTATE.
A SndreWs, sr.. Real Estats agent.


There is an increased activity In city real
estate sales, which promises something larger
in the near future. The prospect for perma-
nent and valuable improvements to be made
during the coming year are already beginning
to increase the sale OF property and causing
many inquiries TO be made as regards the best
locations for business and residence property.
That we are to increase during the next year
beyond anything heretofore experienced in
the growth and prosperity Of our city seems to
be certain. More solid buildings will be
erected next year on Commercial street than
during any previous year. Some marked
changes have occurred in lots on Commercial
street within the last few days which will, a.
soon as the season viii permit, result In the
erection Of fine business blocks where now are
poor frame structures. Men having capital
are beginning 70 buy this class Of property as
an inveutnasnt, which in the history Of al cit
les has proven good one.
| We confidently believe that the coming two
years will see Emporia improve more than ev.
or before and nearly double her present popu.
lAtion. That we are TO become \ city Of many
thousands none will dispute. At the present
prices real estate will enhance In value more
than any other investment that can be made
Manufacturing interests begin TO take the
ascendeney in our midst, aud ere long we shall
be able TO furnish nearly all the nccessaries o
new country, such rs wagons, plows, anC
some kinds OF machinery, on short notice
All these taken into account must 60 to In

enhance the price OF real estate in substan
