of leisure I departed EmporiaS -snd In
Cdue time found myself at the village OF
.Neosho Rapids. 1 was surprised to
find place of SO much importat ee

poria.
On my arrival, as is my custom, ]
began to inquire for a place to refresh
the inner man. was directed to a
boarding hense. kept by Mrs. Ather-
ton. And bare let me say, that if any
man shoSld over find himself in ,Neo-
sho Rapids and is DESTROYS of good,
''square meal" he has but to make his
wants known to find to his joy that he
need not kesk; for 'Tremonts," 'sRob-
inson's," Madison's," but go right
over to AtheEton's and he will go away
feeling himself a bigger and better
man.
The general surroundings OF the
place arebeautifui, being nearly sur
rounded pyllmber. The Neosho, with
its beauti9O forests, lies to the west
