have a perfect mania for buying and
using things made at some other place
than at home. There is not one in
twenty families In our own town that
will use what little soap is made here,
while those few that do use it say they
never used better soap, except, prob
ably, that some of it was q little too
new, while there are those who
have, from the time 3 soap kettle
landed in Emporia, pronounced Its
manufacture here a failure without
ever giving reason for it. Very few
there has been who would "stir" the
soap to make it success.
From the best estimates can make,
there was milk enough in and within
two miles Of Emporia, just about the
same as thrown away, to have made
ten thousand dollars worth of cheese
last season that could have been
manufactured here with an outlay of
one thousand dollars in money, the
hire OF two or three hands, and the
rent OF suitable rooms to carry on the
mandatory and take care of it.
But, no sir, such little things are too
small for US, judging from our actions
Well, then, suppose we get up stock
company and 60 to slaughtering and
packing and shipping beef. We might
ship forty to fifty Texas steers in one
car instead of sixteen natives, and
make soap and candles and grease
from the of1als. I think, also, we
could dry our own beef, probably
and eat it with as good q relish as we
can eat the dried beef shipped in,
which Is made from the Texas steers
crippled on their way from here to
Chicago. am glad to know that we
have . pork packing house already es-
tabllshed, which is preparing home
hogs for home market. I hope 1t will
pack and cure enough to supply all
the Southwestern hog eaters, and l
rather think the coal company will
supply rs with coal in time, and there
may yet be better times coming.
Now l think that if one fourth of
the money given to one of our rail-
roads, and one halfthe energy to back
it, that we used to carry the bonds,
were used in helping to carry on the
enterprises about which have writ
ten, we would change the faces of
many of our people, and help the
prospects Of our beautiful young city
materially.
There are dozen other enterprises
that 1 would mention If 1 had time,
that we could make q success IL we
would just try. / will mention one:
That's narrow guage railroad down
the Verdigris valley, and that without
county bends. Ronds are good things
well invested, until we get enough of
them. Then we had better try max
ing soap and cheese and brooms and
send them out on our railroads.
Yours, ENTERPRISE.

DEAR NEWS: Agnes township again

here this winter, some of the neighbors
have concluded to go to law for a
change, and for the purpose of excite
ment, and to get rid OF some of their
loose change. Mr.. A. has few head
Of Texas cattle which have been run
ming at large. and for the want of
green grass made few raids into the
corn fields of neighbor S. Then s.
sued A. for damages done by said Texas
long horns. The trial was to be be-
fore Squire Edwards. About four
teen witnesses were present and ON
account of the horses up this way hav-
ing the epizootic some of them had to
walk eleven miles through the snow
to get there. But the constable did
not do his duty according to law SO A.
nonsuited S., and they had to 90 homo
without trial.
But next Saturday, the 29th, is set
for another trial. 1 expect that it
will be a lively time, as Burlingane
and Council Grove lawyers are expect
ed to be present.
People up here are rejoicing over
the defeat Of the bonds, and say that il
1t com es up again the women will turn
out and vote against them.
Settlers are moving in slowly
All of the empty houses are filled up,
The farmers up here had almost
given up the thought of raising any
fall wheat, it has been so dry, but the

it out all right. VERITAs.

A TALK ABOUT Hoxs 1xTEnEsrs.

Mr.. EDITOR: Such scribling as
this may be bore to some OF your
readers, but have been so impressed
about what 1 am going to write, that
don't feel as if 1 could get rid OF these
Impressions except by giving vent to
them in this way. It's about the pros
perity of our young city that i want
to talk while. We have a nice town
so far as its location, size, shape and
the number and quality of its build
ings are concerned. We have people
enough living in 1t to make it city OF
the second class, and banks and stores
enough. But what have we that We
can rely on for self support? There
are here some four to five hundred
men, beside women and children, try
ing to live with US who have nothing
but their labor to depend on for q
livelihood. What have We to offer
them as means ef support From
one half TO two-thirds of the time
only to go OF to Usage City, or some
other point to hunt work. It appears
to me that the highth of our ambition
is too much to get up store or some
other kind of q shop to get all the
money together that VIC can and send
1t out Of the country. But few OF u
are contriving to keep what money we
have In the country. Lyon county
and the country south and west OF US
is sending hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars out of this country every year
for articles that could iust a. well be
manufactured at Enporia, a. aE Sc.
Louis and Chicago. Southwestern
Kansas has sent out OF the country
over twenty-five thousand dollars In
the past year for the small but useful
article Of brOoms, which some enter
prising man or firm, with few hum
dred dollars in money, and , few
thousand dollars worth Of energy
could just as well have manufactured

CHRISTMAS IN EMPOEIA.

There was not much stir on Christ
mas day on the streets. This was ow-
ing in part to the severe weather, and
In part to the prevalence Of the horse
disease in the city. Many country
people staId away from town simply
because they did not wish to bring
their horses to the city.
In the residences there were many
happy gatherings, and 3 Joyous good
time generally.
In the way of public entertainments,
that given at Bancroft hall in the az
ternoon and evening of Christmas day
was the most thorough and entertain
ing. We give brief account OF this
entertainment in q paragraph else
where. Our paper was so near up
Thursday morning that We could not
give this novel and excellent affair
further notice.
caRISTMAS EVE.
The churches generally had enter
tainments on christmas eve. At the
Congregational church there was
line Christmas tree, singing, etc.
Those who were present say they
never saw an entertainment of this
kind go on more pleasantly. The
church was beautifully decorated with
evergreens. Santa Claus and wife
were represented, the first by one of
our young merchants, and the latter
by charming lady. The attendance
was large, and the number of presents
distributed from the tree ran up into
the hundreds OF dollars In value.
At the Methodist church there was
singing, declarations, Bible enigmas,
short addresses, and the distribution Of
edibles by old Santa Claus, a promi-
nent member OF the church PERSONAL
ing that ubiquitous distributor OF
Christmas presents. The house was
full, and every part of the programme
was performed most excellently.
Some of the infant class folks more
than covered themselves with distinc-
ton as declaimers and singers. The
little folks will not soon forget what
a laughing, joyous time they had with
Santa Claus on this occasion. At the
conclusion of the exercises a beauti-
full chrome was presented to j Judge Z.
w. Cunningham, by a number of the
older scholars, as q slight token Of
their high esteem of him as a man, and
a recognition of his faithful and effi-
cient services as Superintendent of the
school.
Very interesting exercises were also
had at the Presbyterian church, con-
slsting of concert exercises, Bible
recitations, 4 short address by Prot.
Babcock, and the distribution of mic
macs by Santa Claus, who was per-
sonated by one of our business men.
The house was filled with people and
the occasion was one full of enjoy
meRt for all who attended.
We hear of two or three family
trees, some excellent turkey dinners,
etc., which went to make up this an
nual festival. 1t was generally OBJ
served as holiday, and the smiles and
good cheer made many happy hearts
in EmDorin

The "UNIQUE AFPAIR"-BANCRoF
HALL FULL.-Our Welsh citizens who
got up the "Unique Affair, "have every
reason, and no doubt are satisfied with
the result of their labors. The concert
in the evening of Christmas day was a
most enjoyable affair, and the singing
excellent. Prof. Jones sang "The
Sword of Bunker Hill" with his usual
artistic taste, and manifested . feeling
which communicated itself visibly to
the large rudience. The duette sang
by w. B. Jones, Jr., and D. L. Davies,
was loudly applauded. There were
national (Welsh) features to the con-
cert which were certainly unique, and
though we could not understand the
words, the music was melodious and
very heartily enjoyed. Mr.. W. b.
Jones read his adjudication on the es-
says on coal and the suthors c. B.
Bachelor and Mr.. Milliken, were dec
Grated with the "Star OF Honor" These
essays, we understand, will be pub
lished.
Mrs. Bachelor presided at the organ,
and sang splendidly, "Thc Lover and
the Bird
The Usage City Club and the En-
poria Glee Club contributed largely to
the evening, and the composition
pieces were all well given. L.ongfel-
lows psalm of Life was capitally
rendered, five competitors-the one
adjudged best was the son of William
Roberts, late of New York.
We are very glad our citizens re-
sponded SO literally to the appeal Of
our Welsh friends, and We have no
doubt they felt amply compensated.
