The Way 1t Looks.

We submit it to the candid considera-
ton Of every business man in Emporia,
that 1t Is his interest aud his duty to keep
his name and business In the advertising
columns of the city papers, TO some ex-
tent, IL no more than 4 line each week.
The papers of Kansas do a good deal OF
valuable work IN inducing immigra ten,
In encouraging the people to overcome
difficulties, and in fostering state and 10
cal enterprises. They thus confer 4 con-
slant though generally unnoticed benefit
upon all other business establishments,
and mere fairness and good policy will
influence every business man governed
by such motives, to give his home news
paper encouragement and patronage. Any
man can deny or shirk his share of this
general duty, but 1t is neither 10 his real
interest or credit to pursue II narrow and
altogether selfish policy. Newspapers are
necessary, useful, and necessarily active
agencies in this or any other intelligent
community, and the very poorest bust
ness man or closest manager can afford TO
do some advertising. and ought to with
out being asked.

Liliputian width passed through this
vicinity from west to east on Thursday
the 9th of May. 1t was from one
fourth to One-half OF a mile wide. 1t
did no damage. A flood of water fol-
lowed in its wake.
The timely rains we are having are
bringing forward vegetation at rap
i'd rate. Crops of all kinds are grow
ing fast. Early planted potatoes are
in bloom. Farmers are working with
a might, and the prospect for bOun-
tiful harvest has not been better for
years. The acreage planted to corn
on l42 creek never was as large as the
present. We are raising ten cent corn,
the same as two years ago.
The prospects now are that the dead
beats will have to fall back on their
old Occup ltion-that is, make raids on
smoke houses for their bacon, and on
corn cribs for meal. In SO doing it
will relieve several respectable persons
from soliciting aid In their behalf.

FROM POVERTY 10 WEALTH.-COl. ".
ii. ROssington, formerly editor OF the Com
mOnwealth, has been admitted TO the
bar Of the Fifth Judicial district by
Judge Morton. Thus Ross bids fare
well adieu to pencils, paste, scissors,
tmpS, "comps," the inevitable individual
who wants TO 'Ssee the man that wrote
that piece" and Ben Franklin, for briefs,
Beecner trials, Jim Rogers Islander suits,
big fees and Blackstone. Rossington has
chaIed under the editorial strait-jackeI
and murmured at his thankleSs aud I'M
remuneratiVe lot ever since he had q GER
tain conversation with Col. =. b. Plumb,
OF Emporia, over two years since. Plumb
then said that, after he had published
THE EMPORIA Nkws about q year, he
came to the conclusion that there was no
mones In the newspaper business. He re-
solved to abandon it and follow some 9TH
er occupation. He sold THE NEWS to
Jake SLOtler and entered into the legal
profession. That was sixteen years ago.
SIotler still publishes THE NEWS and is
a. rich as printers usually are, while
PLUMB is worth $125, 900. Ross is follow
ing the footsteps OF Plumb, aud Is keen
bent on securing pile rs large as that OF
his eXemplar. Every newspaper man In
Kansas will wish Ross the tAllest kind OF
success in his new sphere, and hope that
he may fully realize his most extraVa-
CANT aspirations. He will please consider
hImse II retained by the press Of the State
as their attorney In all libel suits.-Com-
mOnWealth-
Mr.. Rossington, We believe, is going TO
Oregon, or some far western pOin., and If
he happens to have the same kind of
brains that Colonel Plumb makes use Of
he will no doubt progress At the same
rate OF speed. The latter, we hear, has
sent him bin OF % so for the above val.

EDITORS NEWS The weather is
delightful. We have just rain enough,
and just sunshine enough; just clouds
enough, and just wind enough; just
heat enough, and just cold enough.
Everything is growing rapidly ; cattle
and horses are getting fat; no grass
hoppers; very few chinch bugs; farm
ers happy beyond comparison, and all
nature is redolent with life, and Iejoic-
Ing at the prospect of bountiful har-
vest, trusting that eask, crib and gran
aPy bin, will be full to the brim with a
bOunteOus yield.
A large amount of corn has been
planted in this vicinity, and looks ex-
ceedingly well, considering much had
to be replanted, owing to bad seed and
late spring.
The people are generally healthy,
there being little or no sickness in the
community, and the NJ. DIS. are, I
suppose, feeling little blue.
A few days ago company of us
took pleasure trip over the hills,
looking at the scenery, the many
beautiful flowers so profusely scatter
ed around, and gathering geological
specimens, which we found in great
abundance, belonging to the carbOnit-
erons fOrmation-sOme small geOdeo,
very beautifully crystalized inside, and
brilliantly cOlOred on the outside;
some very perfect specimens of the
spirefer productions, and terebratule,
encrimites in abundance, and many
other small fossils, some of which am
unable to name also, great, fiat lime
stone rocks, having upon them shells
of almost every shape, size, color and
shade. Upon first beholding them one
might think some artist, with paints
and brushes, had been trying his skill
upon them, but upon more closely OBJ
serving we could see the handiwork of
the Great Artist and Architect above,
and could but look in silent awe and
admiration upon His wisdom in SO
forming and constructing the whole
crust of the earth, from surface to CEN
ter, that man coming upon the earth
ages afterwards could tell every form
of animal and vegetable that had ex-
isted since the formation began, and to
what particular formation they belong
ell, thus furnishing us with ages of
history, whose only testimony is the
rocks. G.
