able speech in self defense before tho
House of Representatives the other
day, bat his eloquence has had no
effect on Harrison. who sticks TO his
original assertion.

Jordan's jewery store is out with mol
iday advertisement, to which we call the
special attention ofjewelery dealers. Mr.
Jordan has for some time been engaged In
whOlesaling jewellery, and he enjoys
facilities for handling jewellery which
enable him to compete with the best hous
es west of St. Louis. He has recently
whOlesaled as far west as Denver. and east
to TOkeka, and to n score of places in the
southwestern and southeastern counties.
We are pleased TO be able to state that
EmPOria has a wholesale Jewelry house OF
this description. Mr.. Jordan's stock and
prices tell their own story. 1t will pay
to examine them. He invites retail buyers
to give him call for holiday presents
Mr.. Jordan is not stranger here. He
has been with us for several years, and
his trade shows what kind OF goods. he
sells. He is full of enterprise, and bound
to keep on pushing business. He is ar
experienced and skillful jeweler. He has
far larger and finer assortment of goods
than has been exhibited in Emporia in
any previous season, and Z visit to Jor.

Emporla oueens rare Store,

Among the very useful business houses
OF EmporIais the queensWare and glass
ware establishment of j. b. Hinkle in
THE NEWS block. Mr.. Hinkle came here
several years ago and entered into thi:
branch of business. By close attention to
the wants Of the people in his line OIL
goods, he has been able to suit their tastes
and to supply just such goods as are
wanted in this market. He is also thor.
oughly posted as to where to buy the best
goods at the lowest figures. A large por-
tion of his stock is shipped directly from
the manufactures In Europe. We have
often been rather surprised that the trade
here in these lines of goods supported SO
large and so good stock as is kept by
Mr.. HinkIe. The people have pursued
the proper policy and given their trade Il
house dealing especially in queenswarG
and glassware rather than TO compel these
| to be scattered around with other lines
of business. Mr.. Hinkle has had the en-
terprise to keep up with the demands up
on his stock, and even ahead of it
No town in the State Of the size OF Empo
ria can boast q better stock.
In this store may now be seen a com
pleie supply of glassware, queensware
table cutlery, lamps and fixtures, carvinI
knives and forks, tea trays, beautiful anC
tne cuspadores, elegant French Chm,
sets, superb chamber sets, and every thin,
to nit out housekeeping TO any desired ex
tent, at the most reasonable figures. Mr.
II. intends to have in 3 large invoice O
new goods in the next few days, and viii
be ready for all calls npon HIM during
the holidays.

Business Change

NJ. l.. Miller & Co. have disposed OF their
millinery store to Mrs. S. E. Davis, Of
Neosho Falls, who has arrived and taken
charge OF that establishment. Mrs. Davis
comes highly recommended, and is vouch-
ed for by good judges of the millinery art
as very tasty and skillful milliner. She
proposes to fully maintain the reputa ton
OF the store for fashionable work, and first
class material, and will doubtless give Our
readers due notice from time to time Of
the inducements she will have to offer
in the way of feminine adornments.
Miss. NJ iller desires to return her thanks
for the liberal patronage she has been ia.
vored with, land the many friendly express
sions extended to her during her residence
in Emporia. We venture to express our
regret as to her contemplated removal
from our city, as will all who have made
her acquaintance. Her unusual skill in
the art Of millinery, and excellent bust
ness management, enabled her to rapidly
build up large trade, which she could
easily maintain. and apart from business
considerations, her personal worth and
demeaDor has won her host of friends
who would be pleased to have had her de-
eide to locate here permanently, and who
will unite in wishing her success IN her
next location.

by which an advertisement of any kind

Ten cents will procure the insertion of 8

reach the buying public; and yet some
people who have goods to sell really Inn
agine that newspaper advertising Is some
thing that they cannot afford. 1t is in
comparably cheaper, more effective, and
IL more useful to the parties concerned

of the case, we would never have to ask

EmpOria Grange Feast

For TIE NEWS.
Through the kindness of friends l at.
tended the anniversary OF the feast grange
at their hall, in this city, last Monday
night.
Soon after converting, M. Maxson was
announced as sneaker. He spoke for
some time upon the objects and aims of
the grange. and especially upon its effects
in a social point Of view, and clearly estab-
lished the tact, that IL for no other reason,
the time and money spent for its organic
alton had produced very beneficial re-
suits in bringing the industrial classes in.
to a closer and more Intimate social rela-
ton. 1t was good speech we'll said and
received.
He was followed by Mr.. James NewIin
who spoke upon the rise, progress and
beneficial results OF the order, and made
many valuable suggestions.
1t is q fact we'll known to all that
Americans devote too much time to la
bOr and business, leaving but little time
to social eDjoyments and the cultivation
of the friendly relations that go so far t.
make = people happy and content. 1t Is
no wonder then that the farming classes
felt the need of this, and if they bave not
been able to reach all that their more
sanguine members believed they could
obtain. they have at least done themselves
good by cultivating those fraternal feel
ings that make'th meetings agreeable
and profitable.
After the speaking, 1t was announced
| that the feast was ready. And such s
feast! Did you ever hear table grown
under its load? don't know that l evel
did, but feel well assured that after Sc
many kind solicitations to have some
thing more, there were many persons af
