The Eureka HsraI publishes a PROPOSE
ton, to be submitted to the voters of Green
wood County, on the 19:h Of December, TO
subscribe two hundred thousand dollars 10 a
railroad TO run from Fort Scott TO Humboldt,
Eureka, and, in time, 10 the West line OF
the Stale. The Herald says it is the object
OF the railroad company, as soon as the road
now constructing from 81. Lous TO Fort Scott
reaches the latter point, TO consolidate with
it, thus making a single line from St. Louis
west, to the west line of the State, and ul;i-
naiely to the Pacific.
From the same paper we clip the follow
ing sensible remarks about school books,
which will find hearty response in the hos m
and pocket OF more than one pa:er familias
The changing of school books is getting
to be an intolerabie evil. In some districts
they change books and teachers about once
in three months. The results are an enor-
monse exlense TO the parents, pile of dead
stock 10 the booksellers in the small towns
and big profit to eastern publishers. We
suggest 10 our County Superintendent that
he call convention of teachers and officers,
and that he Use his influence to have a uni
form series adopted throughout the county,
say for two years at least. This will save
each family hav .ng children to send
TO school, from - TO s. per annum.
School books can be sold much cheaper I'M
der this plan than they are now, and all
parties would be much better satisfied.

The independence Republican has a
good article on manufactures, from which We
make the following excerpt, remarking by
the way, that the suggestions contained are
Just as good in the latitude of Leavenworth |
IS in that of Independence. Says the Re
publican:
The daily influx OF strangers seeking new |
homes, is undoubted evidence OF the fac, that |
We are gaining some notori. ty abroad, and |
it ievolves upon the present population to
provide employment Tor the Labor and the |
capital which must continue to pour in upon |
us. How can this best be accomplished? |
Manufactures of many kinds are greatly |
needed, and Is capital may not be sufficiently
represented in any one individual, wesuggest /
the joint stock plan as the most really and
available means of securing such enterprises.
The plan of voting bonds could not readily
meet the approval Of the people, though We
30 live in bond age. The business public !
are more ready to lend their means when the
results come in a tangible form. Our
moaeyed men should at once take these i'm
portant questions into consideration and
decide upon prompt action Both the pub
Lie good and private interests can be ad-
nnced.
