We had intended to have a paper
full of local history this week. Our
plan was to publish, first, E. P.
Bancroft's history of the county,
which was announced to be read at
the celebration seconds history of
EmporiA; third, q history of the
churchis; fourth, history of the
Lyon county bar and courts; fifth,
. history of our village and city
schools. Our plan has been only
partially carried out. Major Ban.
croft was Informed at such q late
hour, of his appointment to prepare
. history of the county, for the
Fourth, that 1t was utterly impossi-
BILE to comply, especially as his time
10 all taken up with his own affairs,
and those OF the Centennial for this
congressional district. He, however,
had written brief history of the
county for a certain work now in
course Of publication in the city of
Chicago, and this he would have
read at the celebration had not all
his efforts to obtain q copy from
the publishing house proved futile.
As It 10 we have no history of the
county. We attempted to write q
three column history of the city.
After working two days, and leav-
ing out many important things,
We found ourselves with = mass OF
matter on hand which we had not
time to re-write and condense.
The result may be found on the
frat page. We found it would take
ut least . months time to prepare
such history az would be interes-
ting, and we have now concluded
to give It in installments at such
periods az we can find time to pre-
pare the matter.
Seine Of the persons requested to
furnish church history have res
ponded, others will do so next week.
We shall have, also, during the
summer or fall . complete history
OF the county, which will appear
from time to time as we can find
room for it. Mr.. Milliken has fur
nished Us with statistics of the city
schools which will appear as soon
a. We can find time to accompany
them with other historical facts to
render them complete.
We now propose, from this TO the
frat Of January, TO devote all the
space we can to local history. 1t is
important that every thing of this
nature should be gathered up and
gotten into shape to save for future
use. We therefore request contri-
buttons TO our paper at any time to
suit the convenience Of writers, re-
lating to matters OF history. The
history of every town should be
written up by some resident, as well
~ all historical events, from all
quarters OF the country. We urge
our readers to make It . point to
see that every locality and commu-
nifty has its history written. Let
the matter be attended 10 at once.

There is one feature OF the situation
that Is peculiarly gratifying to Repub-

all OF the prominent Liberals who
