NOTES OF TRAVEL.

EDITOR NEWS: In swinging
round the circle we find in every
neighborhood through Southern
Kansas TIE EMPoRIA NEWS.
Our mutual friend Frank Bowen,
near Winfield, Cowley county, has
his farm decided aid all enclosed.
His crops are unsurpassed and his
stock of hogs unequaled in Southern
Kansas. Frank is brick made of
the pure Kentucky Clay, and would
be happy only he says Jake stopped
sending him The NEWS.
The wheat and oat crops in the
Walnut valley are of excellent quail
ity, aad mgch more abundant thGn
we had expected TO see. There
never has been q better prospect for
corn crops.
A foul murder was committed OIL
the head of Dutch creek, Cowley
county, few days ago. The unfor-
tunate man Wes a stranger, and was
murdered at his wagon where he
was supposed to be sleeping. Cir
cumstances indicate that he had been
followed by some unknown parties.
No blame attaches to that neighbour
hood. This brings to mind that we
were reliably informed that two
men armed with a gun and reVolV-
ers passed by Arkansas City inquir-
ing for the man who was recently
murdered i'll your county near Mad
ison, stating that they were on his
track; thst he had stolen a saddle.
They afterwards returned with an
extra saddle.
Cowley county can boast of O
more damnable rape case than either
Lyon or Coffey. This may seem
eKtraVagant, but when you learn
that the parties we're father and
daughter you will have to give 1t up.
A gentleman who represents him
self from Neosho Rapids, whose
initials only will be given CIV. f.
W was taken by the calf Of his
leg by big bull dog and politely
requested to stand until the lady of
the house came in. Frank don't
want word said about it.
Two horse thieves broke Jail at
Eureka short time since and are at
large. A couple of good horses and
saddles were stolen soon after, which
Indicates their favorite way of trav-
cling.
Our young friends at Madison
are extremely fond of jokes. A
Miss Jackson hid Mr.. Beach's Booze
knife behind the clock. Mr., Canwell
removed it to q hollow log in the
corn crib. Mr.. B. became irri tated.
Mr.. G. returned the knife to its
owner. Thereupon Mr.. B. makes
oath that he had placed three $50
bills in the scabbard for safe keeping,
and Mr.. c. and Miss j. were arrest
ed for grand larceny. A prelim-
mary examination was had before
Judge Clark, of Eureka, and the
prisoners discharged. o, Beach,
Beach, that joke is too thin for these
hard times. H.

LYON COUNTY FAIR.

The officers of our Agricultural
Society are doing all in their power
to make the forthcoming fair what
it should be in every respect, and
we trust they will have the unan-
imous support and aid of the people.
The premium list is re-pnblished
to-day with several very important
corrections. 1t will be we'll for all
to give it a careful looking over.
We clip the following in relation
to our fair from the last issue of the
Kansas Farmer:
LYON COUNTY FAIR.-In the EN-
PoRIA News of July 18th we find
the Premium List of the Second
Annual Fair of the Lyon County
Agricultural Society.
We were unable to be present at
the last Fair of this Association ;
but those who were there spoke of
1t in the highest terms. There is
good reason to believe that the COM
ing exhibition will far surpass the
other, from the fact that the direc-
tors have acquired more experience ;
and the premium list has been great
ly enlarged and revised.
The increasing excellence of the
County Fairs throughout the State,
is fast doing away with the necessity
of q State Fair; particularly of one
that has been as extensively and
enthusiastically managed as has ours
for the two years last past.
We hope the farmers of Lyon
county will give to their Fair a cor
dial support, not only as visitors
but as exhibitors. They own as
good stock and raise as good crops
as the country can produce and If
they will exhibit the same vim and
enterprise In this as in other mat
tiers, they will have one OF the larg-
est and best Fairs in the State.
Nothing helps county more than
q good Fair; ana by building up
these county associations we keep
our money at home, and still have
all the advantages of State or
District Association.
This Fair occurs September 10th,
18th, 18th and 18th. Parties can
obtain Preium Lists by addressing
the Secretary, at Emporia.

RESIGNATION OF PRoF. GEORGE
w. Hoss.-Our people were consid-
erboly surprised when they heard, a
few days ago, that Profs. Geo. w.
Hoss had resigned the presidency OF
the State Normal School. The res
ignation will take effect on the Ist of
January next, in order to give
ample time.to fill the place. While
this step is to be regretted on ac-
count of the School, the State, and
ourcity-because his going from our
midst will be severe loss to all--it is
undoubtedly n wise one for the
Professor. II is . fact that his
health has constantly declined since
he came here, and good portion
OF last year he was really unfit for
work, Notwithstanding he never
flinched from his full duties. IL
was fully his Intention to have TAX
en- this step at tho close of the
school year in June. His friends,
however, land their name is legion)
finally persuaded him to abandon
his purpose to resign. and remnip
with the school. Reluctantly he
consented. and was unanimously
reelected to tho presidency. All
this time, too, his old friends in
Indiana werc using every exertion
TO induce him to return TO bis old
home. Recently, without his knowl-
edge, and of their own motion, en-
urely, the Board OF Trustees of The
Indiana State Universally, at Blocm-
ingtOn. unanimously elected him to
the chair of English Literature In
that institutions place to which is at
tached ughtduties- After thorough
thought, considerations of breath
beng the turning point, he eOnclnd-
to accept and will leave US in Jau-
uary next. We regret TO chronicle
this determination, because his de-
partnre will ia every way, aud es-
Ipecially in and educational point OF
view, be a serious loss TO Kansas.
