THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Valuable Time Being Lost.


1t is only 35 days from now to the 4th
OF July, and not a move has been made
by our citizens toward arranging for any
celebration. This is the Centenniel. EV-
cry livetown or city is getting ready to
celebrate, to listen to . sketch OF its his
tory, in accordance with the recommen-
dAtioa OF Congress, to do something to-
ward cOmmemorating the only Centen-
NAL 4th Of July that present voters are
going to see. Wake up, fellow citizens OF
EmpOria, and OF Lyon county. Wake up
now, altogether. Talk about the 4th; ar
range for . celebration OF some kind. Are
you Americans! Have you any patriotic
blood In your veins? Have you any spirit,
any git up; any vim in your souls. II
you have, hold = meeting and arrange
for 4th Of July celebration.

Hartford,


The Baptist Sunday school, recently
started at this place, is progressing
finely. 1t is under the superintend-
ence of w. p. Gould.
Rus Randall was in town last
week, accompanied with some land
buyers, in the interest of the NJ, X. &
lands near this place.
j. 7. Cohenour has returned to H.
after an absence of several years. He
has evidently not forgotten the "Girl
lie left behind him."
Mr.. Coburn, with his usual charac-
teristic energy, has been making sun
dry improvements about his premises.
This seems to be gratifying to his
neighbors from the numerous tavora-
bic comments they make.
B. F. Hull has almost completed a
very handsome residence; he has it
inclOsed and painted, and is plastering
inside, and will soon have it ready for
occupancy. His lady is visiting her
friends in Iowa. When she returns she
will find things fixed up in the most
approved style.
Campbell Brothers are building a
sixty foot addition to their store room.
This is need they long have felt. The
senior member of the firm recently re-
turned from Chicago with a full and
varied assortment of goods. They are
endeavOring to keep up with the times
and prices in meeting the wants of
their numerous customers.
Success is sometimes attended with
very ungratifying results. Three young
gentlemen, chagrined at the success of
the fourth in being able to keep COM
pany with an estimable young lady,
concluded to have satisfaction. They
looked through the windows, and
Swallowed the house till the wee sma'
hours, and as the successful candidate
gracefully retired, his heart beating
high with hopes, he was suddenly as
allied with a volley of eggs, some OF
hem not having the most desirable
| rider. He turned to meet his unequal
foe, but being repeatedly struck with
bursting shells. concluded his legs
were his best friends. For half mile
he was closely pursued, and he is said
to have made the fastest time on
record.
One more veteran gone. One by
one they 60, still there seems to be nc
pOrceptible elimination of the num-
Der. VIM. McGregor, who is more IA
miliarly known as "Uncle Billy" or
last Thursday, brought home a young
bride of twenty. It seems hardly
credible; but to use his own language
"Better late than never" "Uncle Bill
ly" has many warm friends, who will
join in wishing the pair abundant pros
perity and happiness in their new re.
lation.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC

Realizing that in the present condition
Of the Normal Schools in Kansas, many
persons desiring to teach would be de-
priVed OF the advantages Of Normal
training, after consultation with the 9TH
or resident executive member Of the
Board OF Regents, announced that q 81 K
weeks Normal Institute, commencing
July 9th, would be held at Emporla.
When the time had arrived for making
definite arrangements, as first step, 1
called upon the County Superin-
tendent Of Lyon county at his
Office to consult with him and
solicit his cooperation. Not finding him
in dropped him postal, asking an in
terView and inviting joint action
The next day, to my great surprise, an
announcement appeared in the Ledger,
over the signature Of A. D. Chambers,
County Superintendent (wrItten
and inserted as since learn
by Prof. P. j. Carmichael) in which
q Normal Institute was advertised TO be
held at the same time in Emporia, under
the direction Of the County Examiners,
and with full corps Of instructors en-
kAScuS sonl0 VI WHOM are memOeTS Oh tue
Faculty OF the Normal School.
Under these circumstances, believing
one institute in this place Is all that the
interests Of education demand, and that
rival contest Of the character here invok-
ed would be every way undesirable and
unworthy OF educators, hereby with
draw the Normal Institute previously
announced as under my direction.

Owing to the continued wet weather
farmers will be very late In getting their
corn planted, although some have corn
nearly large enough to pillow. Oats and
rye are looking splehdtdly. There has
never been = better prospect for wheat
than at the present time.
Every acre Of cultivated land in this
vicinity is being planted to something.
Surely this testities that the farmers Of
Kansas have confidence in her soil.
