A DEED AND A WORD.

UEEB AND a WOhU.
A little spring hath lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped well.
Where weary men might turn;
lie walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at The brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again, and lol the well,
BY summer never dried,
Has cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved life beside.
A nameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart.
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart:
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath;
It rails ed brother from the dust,
Tt saved a sonl from death.
o oerm o fountl o word OF love!
D thought at random castl
Ye were bat little at the first,
But mighty at the last

Of Mr.. John c. jonas as cutter, and the

have been appreciated, and they have rea-
to be we'll satitiied with their efforts in
this line of business.
Having lately removed to the capacious

gradually added other departments in the
clothing line, and now announce, as will
be seen by our new advertisement coll
umns, good line OF ready made clothing,
hats, caps and gents underwear and fur

that We think the firm has carefully ia
ken, and that 1t can sustain. They have
as good q location as any in town, and
ample light and room, and the business
tact and enterprise that has built up their

country surrounding EmpOria is charm

One thing is certain. II Emporia does
not secure one or more additional rail-
roads in year or two, rival points will,
and Large share Of the trade that now
comes to this city will be diverted to what
will be then equally good railroad centers.
One suggestion we have heard lately
is to organize narrow gauge company to
build a road from here to Williamsburg,
about As miles east of US, and from there lay
single rail to Ottawa, and thence to Kan
sas City over the L. La G.. road, and thus
obtain a pretty direct and cheap narrow
gauge line to Kansas City. AS soon as
this was done, extend the line from hero
southwest. This Is avery ieasfnEe plan,
but If it succeeds 1t Will have to be I'M
dertaken by citizens outside Of those inter-
ested in other railr Dads or railroad pro-
jeuts. 1t would go through the coal fields
on the west line of this county, and those
ut williamsburg, the present terminus of
the X. G. & Burlington railroad.

18th, 1876:
WHEREAS, It has pleased our Divine
Master to call home one of HIS workers IN
this great field Of usefulness, Bro. Willis
L. Traylor; therefore be It
ReS0IUed, That in addition to the severe
loss to the general community of q well
respected and esteemed citizen, q noble
and true christian, We, as Patrons of
Husbandry, mourn for the loss of our
brother, and join in deep personal sorrow
in the Providence which has deprived the
son of loving and kind father, the rela-
tives ond friends of q counsellor OF al, who
was just and upright.
ReSOLUed, That words are insufficient to
measure their loss. or our sympathy in
their great afflietiOn. We can assure our
friends in their great grief, that the Di-
vine hand that smiteth can alone admin
lister consolation and vouchsafe a comfort
that the world can never give.
RESOLVED, That copy of these resolu-
tions be furnished the family of the de-
ceased, also to the Spirit of Kansas and
the two county papers for publication.

For the benefit of distant readers OF
THE News and especially those CON-
templating moving west, We will give
brief description of our town: Amer
icus is located on a level and pictur-
esque tract of land, lying between
Allen creek and the Neosho river, nine
miles northwest of Emporia and six
teen southeast of Council Grove. The
view from any direction is attractive,
more especially from the north on &C
count of the elevation of that point.
The Inhabitants number about five
hundred and consists of an industrious
and moral people. Perhaps no other
town in the State affords more and bet
ter water, every family can have rs
many wells as they like of good, pure
water.
One large brick and two fine frame
churches, together with a two story
stone school house, ornament the town.
We have no saloons, but we have
first class hotel and numerous stores
OF all kinds, which supply everything
necessary for good living and at rea-
sonable prices. Among the principal
buildings of the place is the cheese
factory, established here by p. B.
Campbell few years ago, and has been
enlarged year by year, until now it
does a business that is a credit to the
State, and the good article of cheese
that is produced cannot be excelled.
And now good reader, are you looking
for pleasant, healthy spot on which
to make your home, if so, DO not fail
to come and see Americas and the sur
rounding country before you purchase
elsewhere. We often hear the question
asked nOw-''are you going to the CEN
tennial7 and the universal answer is {:
eyes, if it don't cost too much.'' It is
our opinion if the railI Dads will reduce
the present rates OF fare about one
half, that four persons would 20 to
