a copy OF resolutions adopted at Q
large meeting of temperance citizens,
held in the Methodist church, Sunday
evening, September /, 1872:
WHEREAS, The evil of intemperance
seems to be growing in this city, not
withstandfng the earnest warnings
and Opposition of a large number OF
our christian people and a majority OF
our most esteemed citizens, and
WHEREAS, We deeply believe that
the saloons and whisky stores, and
whisky selling drug stores among us
are an unmitigated evil to our whole
community; therefore be it
ResolUed, That we, the citizens of
Emporia, assembled in the church of
GOD, on the sacred Sabbath day, now
declare again our uEal6erable opposi-
ton To the rum traffic in Any form as
nuisance and q crime.
Resolved, That while we pledge our
selves to use all kind persuasion to re-
claim the drinkers, we call on our city
council and our attorneys and judges
to use at once all possible legal means
TO put down this traffic, and we pledge
ourselves to support them in this good
work to our best endeavOr.
ReseIred, That copy of these reso-
Iutions be sent to the city council, to
each of the saloon keepers, and that
they be published in the city papers.
The above resolutions were passed
unanimously by solemn rising vote.

HOME ENcoURAGEAiENr.-W know
of no better way to encourage rome
industry than by the employment of
one another when we have anything
We want done. In this way we give
each other chance to accommodate
the whole. BY this means, too, we
encourage men to come and locate
with us, whether they have capital or
not. Those who have means will pur-
chase lots, build manufactures and
houses, and give employment to labor.
Stimulate every legitimate enterprise
by givingit proper encouragement or
by uniting our industry and capital in
the cause. The Importance of our
spending our money ut home is great.
There is not a quicker or surer way to
build up a town than 20 encourage
home business. Home architects
should plan our buildings, and home
mechanics should work, tor US. En-
courage home Inaudfactories BY pur-
chasing what they make that we may
need. By this means all will be hene-
fitted and our city will grow. Snch {
course will enchance the value and
demand for houses. Let every man
euitivate a public spirit and. talk les,
than he works. Help your neishoor,
If hets la danger Of breaking down,
| prop him up in some. way instead Of
kicking him under. His talents and
labor are worth money to the com.
mnnity. Encourage our citizens and
local authorities in making public
improvements, and stimulate every

QUE NURSERIES,.

AS the time for fall planting will
soon be here we desire to say few
words to our readers in regard to our
nurseries. We presume the country
is being canyassed by agents
from other nurseries. While we have
nothing particularly against these tree
agents, the fact that they represent
nurseries from o-her portions. of the
State or other States is sufficient rea-
son why the people of this part of the
State should not patronize them. They
may be representing reliable nurser-
les, but when we have just as reliable
ones at home with as complete stocks
as can be found in the State, we should
patronize them, and thus keep our
money at home, so that our own coun-
try may receive the benefit of it.
The people generally think too lightly
Of this matter of sending money out of
the country. Let US give an example.
A foreign tree dealer, who sold in this
section last year, claims to have sold
SO, 1000 in this county and $32 900 in the
Southwest counties. Now this money
made up by our citizens in amounts
from IS to $50, was all taken out of the
State. Our nurseries here had just as
good df not better) trees, and could
have filed all these orders; and what
would have been the result? They
would have KEEP: that money right at
home and spent it in enlarging their
nurseries, and thus giving work TO
many more laborers. Many persons
get the idea that our nurseries at home
are ''littIe One-horse things ;"that they
do not have anything but few apple
trees, and poor ones at that. Now i'll
they could only go into all the nur-
series of the State, how soon would
they be cured of. this mistaken idea,
tor we can assure our readers that
more complete stocks and finer trees
cannot be found in the State than our
Emporia nurseries have. In fact they
assure us that they can furnish any
thing in their line. In regard to tree
agents, the facts are these: There are
more dishonest men in the business
than honest ones, and all of them be-
ing strangers We do not know who are |
the honest ones, and therefore we
would advise our friends to order trees |
from none of them except you have |
the privilege of going TO the nurseries |
and making the final trade with the |
A large portion of the |
tree agents, although they claim TO |
represent certain nurseries, are only |
operating for themselves, taking all the |
orders they can get, and then buying
up the refuse, mixed stock of large
to fill their orders with. |
After thoroughly examining the mat |
ter we have come to the conclusion |
that it is a saving of money to let tree
agents alone and buy directly of the |
and we would advise our |
readers to do so. Mr.. Truitt and Mr.. |
[our nuIrserymen) and the |
Hartford nurseries of Chambers & i
and NJ L. Harden, are
reliable men, and their stocks are Large,
and the growth very fine.
1t will pay you well to come even 90
miles to secure your trees from as large
stocks as are grown here. Remember
IN orchard is permanent thing, and !
mistakes are discovered too late to
rectify, and therefore you want to
have everything right when you begin

PLYMOUTH.

We have been having very pleas
ant rains this week, damaging a good
deal of hay. Yet @every sorrow has
its twin joy" Josh Billings says, and
those who are preparing for sowing
wheat are jubilant. W. II. Eikenber-
ry has already sown his whole crop,
and others will soon follow.
Paul Beck and family, and Riley
Sanders came very near getting run
over by the cars at the crossing OF the
railroad, one and a half miles east OF
town, last week, while on their way to
Emporia. Why don't somebody en-
force the law compelling engineers to
ring the bells at these crossings. Such
gross disregard of law ought not to 60

TEMPERANCE.

Our community is again somewhat
aroused on the temperance question.
Several meetings have been held in
the different churches, exciting
speeches have been made, some OF
which favored mob law, resolutions
have been passed, etc. We hope this
effort WIN not end with speeches and
resolutions, as heretofore. We can
not, for n moment, countenance the
proposition to use force. 1t is not
Necessary to enumerate the evils such
a course would entail. We have great
confidence in the law Tor the suppress
sion of liquor selling, and believe it
can be effeetually stopped in this way.
1t is notable fact that the law has
not had a fair test. Suits have been
commenced, it is true, but not prose-
'cuted, in most cases, as they ought to
have been, simply because the gene
raj interest has Jagged at the most
important time, and two or three per-
sons have been left to do all the work.
The temperance people ought to rally
around every effort and fellow it to the
last stage with their unanimous moral
support, and with their cash, if neces-
sary. We advise union, harmony,
calmness and determination.
A committee was appointed at the
meeting at the Baptist church Mon
day night to report a plan of action,
to the meeting to be held ut the Pres
byterian church this evening. Let all
people be present.

D1ssoLTED.-The law firm of Rng-
giles & Plumb has been dissolved, Mr..
Plumb retiring. This change took
place by mutual agreement, because
the last named gentleman desired 10
quit the law business. This firm was
in business here, we believe, some six
or seven years, and had succeeded in
building up 4 practice here exceeded
in amount of business by but one or
two firms in Kansas. The success
which they carved out for themselves
furnishes another example of what in
dustry, determination, and close appli-
cation can do. Thorougbness aad
promptness have been their motto, and
by the exercise of the qualities of the
true lawyer, they have built up bust
ness and reputation rarely obtained
in country so sparsely settled as this.
We need not assure our readers that
the same thoroughness and prompt
ness will continue to be exercised by
Judge Ruggles. He Is known as one
of the very best lawyers in the State.
and no effort win be spared for the
benefit of those who may entrnst him
with their business. Col. Plumb will
turn his attention to more active BUSH
mesa here, and viii make a success of
all his undertakings.

thoroughly tested and is a grand sue
cess.

blows. Mr.. Hawkins, one of the
strongest Greeley men we have in this
township, proposes to sell his horses
on time, payable when u. S. Grant is
elected President of the'U. s. second

a CoEvESIENCE.-Mr. Editor: 1t
seems to me that among the other en-
terprises for the interest and prosper
ity of our city, a "second hand fur
niture store" would be u great conven-
fence. Every week or two family
moves into or out of the city. No
place seems more convenient for pur-
chasing or selling over pieces of fur
niture than such q store. This would
be Of special convenience to those who
stop but short time; also to Normal
students who wish to fit up rooms for
self boarding. lis hoped some one
win open such an establishment, either
as an independent enterprise or in con-
nection with other business, as shall be
adjudged best.

printer" formerly of the Journal, now
of the EMPoRIA NEWS, with saving
that the "Greeley party overwhelm-
ingiy outnumber their opponents in
Emporia and Lyon county Mr..
Farey informs us that he didn't say
that, the facts not warranting any
such statement. On the other hand,
ne says that Emporia and Lyon coun-
ty are overwhelmingly for Grant.
When he left Emporia, last week, the
Grant club numbered over 800 mem
bers and the Greeley club less than 20,
in the city alone. 1t Is sad to reflect
that the Leader has, gone down bur-
dened with such barcfaced falsehoods,
but these are some of the causes which
contributed to its final dissolution. 1t

THE WOOD PILE.-The time is past
in the West and South when it made
ne difference how much wood a family
burned. Even in regions where wood
is abundant, the expense of getting it
is a large item of family cost, and
people are learning to make their wood
pile last as long as possible. There is
no agent that aids this economy of
fuel so much as an Evening Star Stove.
