The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1877-07-13
The Normal Institute.

We are glad to hear the Normal Inati-
tute for Lyon county, which commenced
on Monday, is an unexpected success.
There are about niety teachers
in attendance, and It bids fair to be equal
in good results to the large attendance.
This shows that the Teachers are awake
to the interests Of their pr ofession, and
they are determined, while the Normal
school has been closed to them, to use
this month Of work to the best advantage.
1t is poor substitute for their regular
school, but we are glad they appreciate
even the small favors granted by the last
legislature.
The law provides that the commission
ers Of each county may appropriate 300
for the purposes Of these Institutes. We
understand there is disposition on the
part of some OF our commissioners to look
unfavorably upon the Institute and to
withhold the authorized appropriation.
We do not know whether this IL true or
not, but certainly they should give the
aid, II after Investigation, the object Is
found worthy. We have no doubt but
that the county will receive q great deal
more than 800 in benefits from the work
OF the Institute, and it would hardly do
for county occupying the advanced po-
sition Lyon does in educational matters
to withhold SO small q sum. We are
aware that the present system of Normal
work Is not so good as the maintaining of
regular schools, and that 1t costs twice as
much, but II must be remembered that it
is the only Normal work provided for the
next two years, the question simply is,
shall we accept it and do the best we can,
or go without instruction for teachers for
that period OF time. Each attendant
pays one dollar; the State pays $50, and
the counties 300. This makes in Lyon
county the mnificent sum OF $24O for a
months Normal school. 1t takes five
teachers to run the school, and when the
necessary expenses are deducted, even
with the county appropriation, the teach
ers would receive only about $40 each for
the months hard work. Without the
county appropriation the work can not
and ought not to be prosecuted.

DUNLAP ITEMS.

Married in Dunlap, July 3rd, by
Rev. w. N. Makeaney, at the resi-
dence of the brides father, r. NJ.
Clark Esq. Mr.. James C. Crowel of
Lyon county, to Miss Amanda E.
Clark, of Dunlap.
Hon. E. D. Bulen has been appoints
ed agent of the NJ. X. & T. railroad
at Dunlap. His store will be used as
the depot pro tenn.
Capt. W. A. Irwin has sold his
property at Port Clinton, Ohio, and
his family left that place for Dunlap
The prospect is encouraging for the
final settlement of Dunlap town site.
The citizens feel jubilant.
Look out for business enterprise
soon.
The Council Grove Republican
thinks that the Dunlap items are out
of place in the NEWS, Lyon county
paper. We will explain: Dunlap
is only one half mile from Lyon cOun-
ty; the principal part OF its business
relations are in Lyon county. Emporia
is Our market town, and we patronise
it's wholesale establishments; and
lastly, two large packages of the
News come to Dunlap post Office
every week.
The reports OF the yield of wheat
are conflicting. Corn looks well.
There has been scarcely any sick
ness SO far in this vicinity.
A false statement has been going
the rounds of the papers, that lady
in this vicinity, had a snake in her
stomach. 1t has not a shadow OF
foundation.
Mr.. McMillen of this place was in
Emporia last Saturday and hitehed
his team to his wagon near Davis
livery stable and about IL q. m. his
team mysteriOusly disappeared, and
on strict inquiry being made through
out the city, ne information could be
obtained concerning them. This
would lead to the superstition that
they must haYe been stolen.

Increase Of Business Over 1870.

Increase OF business Over 1876
The statement OF the N. x. Il T. rail-
road business for the months ending June
Both, 1877, shows the total earnings At
81, 430 1888 70, an increase over the first
first six months OF 1876 OF S13 .O93.S3.
The land department OF the road, un-
der charge OF Capt. A. N. Sommers, with
headquarters at Emporia, sold during the
first six months OF 1877, 1888, acres OF
land, being an increase OF $500 acI es ov-
or the sales during the corresponding pc
Rod OF 1876. The land brought an aver.
age OF $2.75 per acre, OF which SO per
cent was paid in cash. The cost OF sell
ing was at the rate OF 10 cents per acre, q
decrease Of cents per acre on the sales
during the corresponding period Of last
year. The bulk OF the land sold this
year was in Greenwood, Lyon and Wood
son counties. The road has about 400, 900
acres LETT to dispose Of, all In Kansas.
The road is not only paying all opera.
ting expenses, bat paying the interest on
its bonds, and in the last six months the
land department has paid of $63, 900 OF
bonds, thus stopping interest on that
amount.
