A sedgwick county man offers to
bet half section OF land that corn
can be raised In Kansas ct cost of
fifteen cents bushel. Double the bet
and we will go you halves.
Any OF our readers who desire to ex.
change an improved farm, or a good
body Of Wild land Ia Lyon county, for
q good improved farm worth 81, 900, In
Adams county, Ohio, can be accommc-
dated At this Office.
A Kansas City letter la Tie Boston
Journal says this season viii drive out
Of the state lot of worthless, shittiess
drones who are of no use to themselves
or anybody else, and in that way will
be real benefit TO the country.
Lyon county has six Touring mills
and three saw mills run by water pow
er; two Touring mills and three saw
mills run by steam power, and one
Touring mill run by wind power. II
there Is any county In the state can
beat this, let them nov speak, or for
ever after hold their peace.
Would 1t not be well for those per-
sons who arc short OF feed, 20 procure
some OF the small eight-Towed corn,
and plant an acre or two for early
feed. 1t planted early, It viii do for
feed sooner than any other grain. We
tried this plan at the South onee when
corn was selling at $3.50 per bnshel,
and saved Eeyeral hundred dollar by
it.
Let everybody plant every aero Uf
corn they can tend well. It takes bat
little seed, and teams can live on grass
to work 1t. The old crop has not been
used up so closely for years, over the
whole country. Prices will be likely
to be good II not, an abundance is a
good thing to have on hand. Plant
early by ali means. Give the corn the
start OF the weeds. It does not hurt
corn TO get q touch Of frost.
The EmpOria Library Ia worth In
cash over 5000. We hear 1t rumored
that If allowed to run down to a few
members, they viii pay off the slight
indebtedness, and own the whole thing.
The way to prevent this Is for every
one to join at once, (only two dollars
year., secure years reading of ex-
cellent reading books, have q vote at
the annual meeting March ID, and be-
come Joint owner OF all the property
Of the association. There Is no time to
spare. Act quickly. None hat men,
bers can vote.
Several of the Menuonltes who have
been buying supplies In this city, ex-
press themselves well pleased with their
bargains. 1t seems to US that a con-
cert of action on the part of our mer-
chants would be able TO secure the
bulk OF this trade for this city. These
people are close buyers, and having
bsen imposed upon at certain points,
they are perhaps over cautious. But
let 1t once be proved to them that 1t Is
70 their interest to trade here. which
we think can easily be done, and their
custom will be Of great value to our
city.
Arrangements have just been per-
fected by the II. h. & T. tank line
company, to run through trains OF
their own cars direct to this city, de-
liverlng the oil directly from the
tanks built upon the cars. This will
ObVIate the constant waste by leakage
In transit and also reduce the cost OF
freight. No point In the interior of
the state can compete with Emporia in
the matter OF cheap freIghts, and Law
renee, Topeka, and other less favored
towns will now find It 10 their inter-
est to purchase their stocks directly
from oar iobbers. The fact Is becOm.
ing evident, even to the most incredu-
lous, that this city Ia to be the great
distributing point for at least one half
the state.
| We have received from NJ. J.. Sar-
gent, general freight agent A. 4. s 9.
F. X. r.. schedule of treights to west
ern points on this line, greatly reduced
for the benefit OF those destitute por-
tioas Of the country. Coal per car OF
200 bushels, from any point In Usage
county and Emporia, to Newton $l9
and other places west In proportion.
Potatoes, corn, oats, bran and feed per
car from AtchIson to Newton SO, to
points as far west as Kinsley $a5. Five
dollars per car less to all western
points from Emporia. Emigrant
goods from Atchison a. far west as
HutchisOn $35 per car. To Kinsley
20. From EmporIa to all points west,
I've dollars per car less. This will tie
q great help to all that part of the
state.
An exchange tells a pleasant little
story of five dollar bill, which paid
debts amounting to flfty-two dollars,
In few minutes, among a company OF
I'VE or six persons at & tea table. A
little reflection will convince any One
Of the vast power of little money,
when kept moving from hand 20 hand
Small debts In some respects, are more
Important than large ones. In the case
Of large amounts, the creditor is gen.
orally secured, and his money Is earn
Ing interest, and he "a not uneasy
even when lt Is not paid at maturity
While In the case of the small creditor
there is no security, no interest, and he
generally really needs the money
though nine times In ten it Is to pay
some one to whom he owes a like
amount. Suppose each neighborhood
or country village had q bulletin board
upon which should be written at stat.
ed times. all the small obligations o.
each member OF the community. Every
one on reading these announcement
would he sstonlshed at the large
amount of indebtedness which could
be cancelled by = small amount o
money. Yet this Is exactly what &
done every day at the exchanges anC
