To MERcHk1tTs EASR BUSINESS MEN
aENERAILY.-The merchants and
business men of chiesgo, Saint Louis
and other cities are making desperate
efforts to drain the currency of this
section to their own cities respectively.
They are unwilling to take exchange
on their own banks, and hence, through
their drummeFs and by express, are
seeking to get pay in currency. II
their game succeeds, in week there
will be no money in the country with
which to do its ordinary retail business.
The remedy is obvious. Let no man
pay currency who has heretofore paid
in exchange. Stick to the ordinary
rules of business. Keep the money at
home. Pay nothing to drummers or
to the express companies. Let Saint
Louis and Chicago take care of them
selves. We are not responsible for the
condition in which those cities find
themselves. Again we say, pay no
bills In currency

SENsIBLE.-While there was much
anxiety here rs to what the result of
the late panic would be, there was no
attempsto get up anything like an ex-
citement or run on our three excellent
banks. Our banks, Riggs, Dunlap &
Co., the First National and tile Empo-
ria National, all possess the unlimited
confidence of our people, and we have
not heard of q single instance where
any deposition withdrew his money.
And on the other hand the banks went
right along about their business as
usual. They attend to Legitimate
banking business, and there is no fear
Of trouble from them even in such
shalxy times as we experienced the lat
ter part of last week.

A WORD TO TRAVELLERS We have
q word to say i'm favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. It was the "piOneer"
line Westward and is the cold 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
ment 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
ia 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, East and South.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, &C., may be had at the
various Through ticket" railroad sta
tions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. Fl. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas
City. Mo-, or E. A. Ford, General
Passenger Agent, st. Louis, Mo.

We are glad to note that, through
the enterprise of some of cur citizens,
our county was well represented at
the State Fair last week, and as usual,
when she comes in contact with other
portions of the country, in any partic-
ular,she got away with a good share
of the honoIs. Our county is every
where recognized to be one of the lead
ing interior counties of the State. In
intelligence and enterprise she is not
surpassed anywhere. Shefentered the
lists at Topeka, in several departments,
and no county in the State, outside of
Shawnee, can make better showing
of results than she. L.
The Fair reports of the Topeka dali
lies were so meagre that We could get
little satisfaction from perasing them,
but from them and private sources we
learn of the following awards to our
people: 49,
Our Lyon County Horticultural
Society carried off the first premium
for the best display of cereals by any
county, township, society or individ-
uaIs. We believe this premium was
$50 p. 3 aaL 8g
The Americas cheese factory took
the first and second premiums on
cheese. This cheese seems to take the
"blue ribbon" everywhere.
Campbell & Knox, OF the Americas
mills, cook the first premium on fall
wheat -four.
]. V. Randolph, of this place, took
the second premium for the best dis
play OF honey; first premium for the
best five pound box of honey, and the
first premium for the best bee hive.
A. G. White took the first premi-
UNI for the best cabbage, and the Sec
Ond premium for the best lot of onions.
Mrs. A. F. Wilson made q fine dis
play of flowers, and took the follow
Ing pFemiums: Second best floral dis
play, beautiful card receiver, valued
at 80; best collection of pansies, 50 !;
best collection of geraniums, So; best
collection of gladioli; best collection
of tube roses, So; best collection of
wild flowers, not less than three varie-
ties, 50; best collection of cactus, So;
best fernery, 50.
There may have been other premi-
ums awarded to citizens of this county,
but the above are all VIC find reported
in Topeka papers
Our success at the State Fair was GER
tainly very encouraging, and should
induce us to make further efforts in
the future.
