ITEMS FROM THE REGISTER.

We clip the following locals from the
Emporia Real Estate Register for July:
For good square meal, with all the
delicacies of the season. mt any hour of
the day and evening, call at the Delm0n-
ice.
THE CENTRAL KANSAS FAIR-WilI be
held on the cOmpany's grounds near this
city, commencing September 1st and last
ing four days. Several counties expect
to join in this organization, and make it
one of the principal fairs of the West.
The State Fair will he held at Leaven-
worth the following week, and the Kan
sAs City Fair the week after. This ar
rangement Will give exhibitors an oppOr-
tunity to visit the three principal fairs of
the West consecutiVely.
The luscious strawberry has come and
gone, the tempting cherry, goOseberry
and currant are among the things that
were, and now comes the rich favored
raspberry in all its glory, to be followed,
before we greet our readers again, by the
king of small fruits, the gorgeous black
berry. Then comes the grape, peach,
plum, pear and apple, 4 procession of
delicacies few countries can boast. Who
would not live in country that produces
every tree that is pleasant to the sight
| and good for foOdy"
In response to our article in last num-
| Der of the REGISTER we have received an
| account from Greencastle, Indiana, of 4
new and improved fruit dryer. 1t is
u combination of hot air and steam, and
| seems from the description we have re-
ceiHed, to be of great practical value.
| The dryer costs from thirty to forty dol
lars, can be used on any stove or furnace,
| and il is claimed will thoroughly dry
| from six to eight bushels per day. 1t is
| said to preserve the natural color and fla
Vor of the fruit in remarkable degree.
| Our fruit growers will be welcome TO all
| the information we have on the subject
| may prove of great value in saving the
immense peach crop this year.
| FENCING.-In order to convey some
| idea of the amount of Improvement going
| on in the country Immediately surround
| ing this city, we have interviewed our
lumber merchants, and find that they
have sold since January !, 1874, for use in
this vicinity, the enormous amomnt OF
5I6, GOO feet of fencing, This does not in
| cludc the amount shipped to the west and
| south. At an average of three boards
high, this amount OF lumber would build
.. 600 reds, or ~ miles of fence. Taking
into account the fence built of other ma
terials, the amount of hedge turned out
thereby releasing the protecting fence tO
be used III enclosing new fields, We think
IL safe TO estimate that 100 miles of fence
have been built this season in this vicin
fly With these and similar facts before
us, there Is no occasion to doubt the
steady, permanent progress that is going
on all around US. We shall consider our.
selves well paid for our trouble, if we
can furnish our friends with facts and ar.
guments with which to stop the mouth.

THE FIRST CELEBRATION.-S
years ago tomorrow Emporia held
her first 4th of July celebration. 1t
was the first one ever held in the Neo-
sho valley. We had commenced a
sort of history of the affair, but on ac-
count of illness were unable to finish
it. Two Bowers were built, one about
where the brick school house stands,
for the speaking, and the otlier about
where the Santa Fe depot is for the
eating. There were about a thousand
people present. Martin +. Conway
was the orator; l.. ID. Bailey was presi-
dent of the day; DIR. Bailey, now q
sleek fat and saucy banker in 4 south
ern Kansas town, was marshal of the
day F. Z. Bancroft spread himself on
the Declaration; A. G. Proctor, now Z
pros porous st. Louis business man
was toast-master. In the evening we
all went to Americas to a dance, and
we got black mud on our good clothes
and didn't get either supper or dance
1t was big triumph for Emporia.

Go EAST BY WAY OF ST.. LoUIs.-In
these days of railroad competition the
wise traveller selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every in
stance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the
accomplishment OF that purpose the
Missouri Pacific Through Line from
the West to the East, via Kansas City
and st. Louis, offers inducements I'M
surpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with
the Missouri Pacific r. r. is first-class,
and the adoption of the Miller Plat
form and the Westinghouse Air Brake
together with its Pullman Sleepers,
and Reclining Chair Coaches, render a
trip over the line perfectly safe and
pleasant. Passengers from all parts OF
the West by taking its express trains
at Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison
and other prominent cities, are landed
in st. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
make direct connection with all
railroads for every point in the
North, East and South. Partic-
ular Information, with maps, time

LARGE ADDITION TO OUR PoPULA-
TIoN.-We clip the following interesting
item from Bancron's Real Estate Regis
ter for July:
Father Perrier, pastor of the Catholic
church in this city, has been the means Of
locating one hundred and twenty-five
families from France, Normandy and
Switzerland in the southern part of this
county and the northern part of Green
wood, during the past few months. They
all speak the French language and are
mostly members of the Catholic church.
They bring but little money, but what is
| better, are all trained to habits of indus-
| try and economy, and that careful, thor
ough. systematic system OF farm
| ing for which their native land is SC
famous. We predict that many of these
| men will, in a few years, outstrip their
| American neighbors in making beautiful
! and well cultivated farms.
We have recently sold an improved
farm near the city to Joseph Debauge

a COOP TIME.-The L. z. Sunday
School of Americas went to Humboldt,
Tuesday, OF an excursion. The most
of the Americas people and a good
portion of Emporians went along TO
enjoy pleasant, cheap ride down the
great Neesho valley. Six coaches and
two mail cars were crammed full of
people and good things to eat. The
Humboldters extended welcome to
the exeursionists, brought out all their
buses, hacks and wagons, gave all
who desired il free ride over the river
and around the city. The hotels and
many private houses were thrown
open TO the pleasure seekers. We
know those Humboldt people. They
are always hOspitable. They know
just how TO extend hospitality so as to
make 1t really enjoyable. Wish we
had been there. The excursion was
in every way grand success.
