PLYMOUTH.

a good rain on last Sunday evening
and night has moistened the ground,
putting it in good condition for plow-
ing. Farmers are availing themselves
of the opportunity of doing a large
amount of fall blowing, and we hope a
large area of fall wheat will be sown.
We have curiosity now in Pike
township in the shape of a man who
has hitherto supported the Republican
ticket, and declares his intention of
supporting Greeley. But he has been
from home for some time and we think
will change his views before the eIec-
ton.
Our Quaker community will vote
solid for Grant.
j. w. Smith, an old citizen of Ply
mouth, who now lives in Harvey coun-
ty, has been visiting his old friends in
town and county. Mr.. Smith reports
Harvey county all right for Grant.
j. Jay Buck, Esq, of Emporia, will
lecture in Plymouth on Sunday, Au-
gust %, 1872, at o'clock p. m. We
hope the friends of temperance will
turn out and give Mr.. Buck a good
audience. c. 7. PICKETT,

A Liar Exposed.


EDTzoR NEWS: We are informed

engaged in the reformation of the poll
tics Of our government, having started
to set things to rights gener ally, (and
in his wisdom he discerns that it is
necessary to not "despise the day of
small things,') and being informed on
reliable authority that there is a place
called Reading, in Reading township,
Lyon county, and having reliable"
information concerning the progress
of the reformation in that particular
locality, he felt it to be his duty to re-
port. Hence he comes into court to
tell "the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the TRUTH" and publishes
that there is but one Grant man in
Reading township. This he after
wards thought was rather strong, and
so falls "a snake or two and saws
that the town of Reading has only one
Grant man in it. OF this he is ere
liably" informed. The opinion ;uI
here at Reading Is that there il notl l.
ing reliable in anything he says, s'for 5
liar is not believed when he speaks
the TRUTH" There is one Greeley man
in the town of Reading, and one doubt
full. The rest are Grant men, and there
is about six Greeley men in the town.

authority" Now, if this great re-
fornist of the nineteenth century
would reform others, it is right and
proper that he should begin with him.

Mr.. Hurlburt, G. D. Burdick and
Mr.. Cooper were elected a committee
to nominate permanent officers of the
club.
The people were then addressed by
F. G. Hunt, Esq, of Emporia, in his
characteristic, clear and logical style.
Mr.. Pinkerton then followed, giving
many good reasons why the re-
gular Republican nominees for Presi-
dent and Vice President should be
supported, telling some very apt, as
well as ludicrous anecdotes by way OF
Illustration. Pinkerton is good story

A GREAT CONFERENCE.-THE new
railroad ticket and check office, in
charge of Sidney Hurd, at the express
Office, corner Commercial Street and
Seventh Avenue, is emphatically the
best thing on record. The NJ. X.
& T. railroad has furnished Mr.. Hurd
with one of their ticket cases, contain
ing in handy shape through tickets
over all the leading routes to every i'm
portant station in the country. And
still better thing is the arrangement
Mr.. Hurd has made in regard to cheek
ing baggage. Suppose you want to go
to st. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, New
York. Boston, anywhere. You go to
the express office, select your route,
purchase your ticket, and receive along
with it a check for your baggage, to
any point on or clear through. to the
end of your journey. The express
wagon will go to your residence, get
your trunk, check it to correspond with
your own check, and put 1t on the
train. You do not need to see about it
ut all. When you get to Boston there
is your trunk. All mistakes, delays,
quarrels with checkmen, and imposi-
tions on the route are avoided. The
system is most convenient, and one
that our citizens have it ut hand for
their nse. Mr.. Cogswell, agent of the
NJ. X. s. T., has tried hard to get this
favor extended to Emporia, and we
congratulate him on his success.
Wherever you wish to go, step around
to the express Office, buy your tickets
of Mr.. IIurd, and tell him where you
wish your baggage checked to.

taking his paper tthe Tribune) for
eighteen months, and confess that it
was once a good paper, but I notice
that it commenced changing its tone
last winter, and here of late it never
has a good word for any of our Re-

hand, belittles and bemeans them in
every way possible, while it is loud in
its praise of the most of the rebel

misrepresent and SANDER Grant, and
state falsehoods about everything con-
corning the Republican party. He
goes upon the principle that lie told,
repeated, and sworn to is, for the pres
ent, equivalent to the truth. Another
plan is to brag, blow, offer to bet-to
try ifby any means they may revive
the fainting spirits of this bantling,
showing very clearly that they will re-
sort to anything to beat Grant"
Whenever hear any person blowing
about betting to prove his side of the
case, it is clear enough to me that he is
out of any arguments of his own, and
his last resort is to use the "fool's argu-
ment." If they are as anxious to bet
as they pretend they are, let them

Our readers are aware that several
OF our leading citizens organized, I'M
der the laws OF the State, last fall, the
EmpOrIa Agricultural, Mechanical
and Stock Association. This Associa-
ton has been at work ever since with
a view Of holding a fair this fall on
their grounds just west Of the city.
Owing to hard times, many hindraRces
have interfered. It has been difficult
to get enough stock taken to put the
enterprise on proper footing, but
every difficulty has now been over
come, and q fair this fall is "sure
thing"
The stock holders met at the court
house in this city on Tuesday evening
last. Col. p. B. Plumb presided.
The committee appointed at a pre-
vious meeting to solicit subscriptions
to the capital stock reported 200 ad-
ditional shares subscribed.
Col. j. NJ. Steele, Major C. Hood, and
J. S. MeWhorter, Esq, were appointed
committee to prepare bylaws for
the government of the Association.
On motion, it was unanimously re-
solved to hold Fair, during the COM
Ing fall, at the grounds of the AssO-
citation, just west of the city.
A committee was appointed, consist
Ing OF a. Il. Bancroft, w. II. Beverly
and &. Hood to prepare the premium
list and regulations, and TO ix on the
time OF holding the Fair.
An adjourned meeting win be held
next Saturday, the 18th, at the court |
house. ut half past 2 o'clock p. M. Let
everybody be OH hand.
Arrangements have been made for
fencing the grounds, erecting the nee
essary buildings, and preparing the |
track.
Now. let every man in the county
''put his shoulder to the wheel" and |
make the Fair what it ought to be.
There is still some OF the stock un-
taken, and it is very desirable that 1t
should all be subscribed for at once.
We hope no farmer, stock or business
man will wait to be urged as to their
luty in this matter.
If those most interested will do their
luty we can have one of the best As

OF labor is becoming moro and more
the great desideratum of every town
AZ the years so by. There is not
town of any pretension but what is
striving, with every inducement, to

while all will admit that they add to
the wealth, name and influence of

located. Therefore, il shoSlld he the
duty Of every citizen TO strive, with
his iBhneRee and money, for the estab-
ilishment Of every kind of manufac-

.courAgement it may, after ali, be made
