PLYMOUTH.

EDITOR NEWS: We have beer
blessed lately with an abundance Of
rain, which has added much to the
looks of the small grain. The contin-
ued chilliness of the weather retards
the growth OF the spring grain, but at
the same tune it is forming root for a
vigorous growth when the weather
becomes favorable
A change was made in section
bosses here q week or two since. Mr..
Deweese was replaced by q Mr.. Hicks,
thoroughly competent man in his
business. Mr.. D. has taken up his To-
cation in Emporla.
-FRUIT PRosPKcTs.-The prospect
for apples, plums, and cherries in this
section is good, the greater number of
trees being full of bloom. l learn
that there are some few peach bios
SONS on the trees on the divide north
of us, and hope that the blossoms
may remain unjnjured.
AN OLD CITIZEN GoNE.-In the
death Of David Roth this community
has lost good citizen, and one who
has worked with industry and econ
omy for number of years Che being
one among the first who settled in this
neighborhoOd) and just as he had acc
quired a competence to enable him to
enjoy the blessings of his hard labor,
he was called to his long home. And
thus, one by one. we are passing
away.
Il feel like keeping the fact before
the farmers that it is to their interest
to connect themselves to some of the
many organizations forming and now
already formed in this township and
county. There seems to be an apathy
on the part of great many to take
hold of the matter. There are many
and innumerable ways that they will
be more than remunerated for all time
and money expended in the enter
prise. have facts before me satis-
factory to my mind that by presenting
q solid front and cooperating with
the State Associa ton that a reduction
of at least one-half can be had on our
agricultural implements. Is this not
sufficient inducement to urge every
farmer to become actively engaged in
the enterprise. Come out, farmers,
and let us begin Immediately to reap
the benefits OF cooperation. Let us
double and thribble the names on the
list Of the organizations. Let US give
our meetings better attendance. A
few cannot carry this matter along
without the cooperation and earnest
support of all those directly interest
ed. Come out, clodhoppers, for heav-
ems sake, and let US make it a sue
cess. J. f. L.

BETTER LATE THAN NEvER.-We
are aware til il Is no news to many
of our readers TO announce that Prof.
A. ID. Chambers, of Hartford, ia a
married man, and We owe him and
the public an apology for not saying
that he is a,married man sooner. The
announcement, which was written
two or three weeks ago, got hid away
in an interminable pile of manuscripts,
letters, papers, books. scraps, clip
pings, etc, and there It has been till
accidentally resurrected Wednesday.
But all this don't make any difference
with Chambers--he is just as married
as he would lave been had VIC anHoun-
ced it at the right time. lie was mar
ried in Topeka on the 18th of April,
by Rev. Charles Lovejoy to Miss Anna
p. Smith. After the ceremony =
splendid dinner was partaken of by
the bridal party at the excellent Fifth
avenue hotel, which had been prepar-
cd for them. They came here and
spent day or two, and then went to
their home in Hartford. The Profess
sor rather took folks by surprise, be-
cause such an event had not been
limited at here, that We had ever heard
of. His hosts OF friends in this county
will all unite in wishing him and Mrs.
c. happy journey through life. May
Mr.. and Mrs. CnamEers live long tc

A WHISKY TRIUMPH IN EMroHrA,
The New Council Passes = License Or
dinaace


For years Emporia kept the upper
hand of the whiskyites, but they have
been gaining ground for some time.
With the rush thee or four years ago
came saloons, and all efforts to close
them have proved unavailing. Saloons
have been running here In de fiance of
public sentiment and all efforts to close
them. This state of things has brought
about considerable change in senti-
ment, many good temperance men
having come to the conclusion that the
matter could be kept under better con-
troll by granting license. In the last
spring election the license question
was not an issue, and the license party
elected four men.
The ordinance, which we publish in
another column, was introduced at a
former meeting, and came up last Mon
day night. There was much excite
ment on the subject that day, and q
goodly number of people attended the
meeting. After full discussion the
ordinance was posed by the following
vote:
For the ordinance--Messrs. Ban
croft, Cleveland, Beck and McCarter.
Against-Messrs. Wicks, Lakin, Esk-
ridge and Nichols. Mayor Spicer
promptly united this tie by voting for
the ordinance, and so, for the first
time, we have license for whisky
shops in Emporia.
We will only say now, that we
believe mistake has been made. We
believe that drinking win increase.
Time alone will determine. We are of
opinion that many of the men who ia
vored license will regret this step. We
have no doubt but that they are actu-
ated by the best of motives. They
think license the best for the COM
munity.
While we never should, under any
circumstances, vote to license saloons
we are willing others shall enjoy their
freedom of opinion and shall not abuse
those who differ with us; yet we firm
ly believe that had an issue been made
on this question at the spring election
the result would have been different.
We believe the people of the city are
still opposed to obtaining money by
licensing traffic that leads to crime
and misery. Let us give the matter a
fair test, and prepare for change If it
is deemed best to make one, IS we
have no doubt it will be. The tenn
perance people can see the result of
sleeping on their arms,

ton that there was pending before the

to appropriate Il OF mill of the tax
able property of the county to the
Improvement OF the county fair

fair enterprise, and hope it will abund-
antly prosper, but / am not In favor
OF thus mixing matters. / under

A Word TO TRAVELLERS We have
a word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. It was the "pioneer''
line Westward and is the sold reliable
route to st. Louis. With the improve
ments which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
n1ent of any line west of the Mississ-
ippi. 1t is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
in the West, through Kansas City, Sc
dalia and Jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes to points North, Eastand South.
