Uniformity In School Books

We noticed some weeks ago, through
our columns, an effort Of I. D. Fox & Co.
towards a uniformity in school books
throughout this county, and on calling on
them this week, we learn that about one
half of the districts In the county have
adopted A. S. Barnes & Co.'s Independent
series OF books. Fox & Co. shipped in,
during the months of September and Oc-
tober, six thousand two hundred and
eighty-fiVe dollars and four cents worth.
at wholesale prices, of A. S. Barnes s. Co.'s
books, the invoices of which we saw, and
still they have not been able to fill all
the orders as fast as received. With these
books in every district in the county, par
ents will not be compelled every fall to
| buy large bill Of new books. Success
| to the work.

spent some time in studying short hand

fession for some years. For two or three
years he has been engaged in the attor-
ney's department Of the Erie railroad, i'll
New York City. We are especially graf
flied at his advancement, because we
know 1t is made upon merit.

DRMOCATIC PAPER.-We hear there is
to be q Democratic paper in Emporia.
Mr.. Davis, Of Albany, Missouri, wrote to
us some weeks ago in regard TO the pros
pect for such q paper here, and we turned
his letter over to some Of our leading
Democrats, and the correspondence led
to q visit from Mr.. Davis few days ago,
to investigate the matter. The result is
that he proposes to bring an Office here ii
they will raise him 500 cash subscribers.
Some Of the leading Democrats think
they can do this, and are at work It it.
We have no doubt but that they will
procure the necessary number. This Is q
central point for large district ef coun-
try, and we do not see why Democratic
organ cannot be sustained here. We
wish the enterprise success.

At Bancroft Hall, Wednesday Evening
November 2ist.
We have the pleasure Of announcing &c
the people Of Emporia and vicinity, that
Ex-Vice President Schuyler COifax, OF
Indiana, will favor them with his elo-
quent ana interesting lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln, at Bancroft hall, on Wednes-
day evening, Nov. 21st, 1877.
This gentleman has hosts Of friends in
this part of Kansas who will rejoice At
the announcement of his coming among
us. This will be the finest intellectual
treat ever given to an Emporia audience.
Every one should make arrangements TO
hear him.
tions with the lamented Lincoln, togsth-
er with his power and eloqnence, ena-
bles him, more than any other, 70 give
lecture which will be Of the highest in~
terest.
We clip a few notices Of this lecture
from the press in different parts Of the
country where il has been delivered.
Dewitt TaImage says OF Schuyler Col.
fax's lecture: ut Is the heart and home
of Abraham Lincoln turned inside out.
The lecture is worth fifty ordinary Iyce-
um lectures 1t ought TO be heard in eV-
cry hall. church, town and city Of the
country"
As whole the lecture was most re-
markabls one, worthy OF the fame Of the
man who gave it, and even Of the fame
of the man to whose memory il was de-
VOted.-St. Louis Democrat
Mr.. Colfax was received at McCOr-
mick Hall last evening by the largest au-
dience that has gathered In the lecture
room this season.-Chicago Inter-OceaD.
Schuyler Colfax delivered his excel
finest audience ever assembled in the OPP
era Hall. He spoke tor nearly an hour
and u half, and was listened TO with
marked attention. He did the subject
justice, and further than that it would be
useless for Us to attempt report. At
the close the best evidence of apprec1a-
ton was in the fact that his audience sat
perfectly still until formally dismissed,
seemingly thinking that he would begin
again. The lecture is free from politics,
or as nearly as it could possibly be, and
certainly no one should refuse to hear it
for all the politics 1t contalns.-Kenton
(Ohio) Democrat
Hon. Schuyler Colfax lectured last
Thursday evening, subject "AbrahSm
Lincoln" This distinguished gentleman
was greeted by a large audience. His
lecture was prepared with care, devoid
of politics, and interesting to all.-W oos-

We suppose the democratic convention
ut the court house last week, appointed .
secretary to take down its proceedings
and furnish them to the papers for publi-
cation, but no report whatever has been
sent to US. II any report had been fur
nished to US, it would, as usual, have
been duly publlshed without charge. We
have 4 number OF democrat readers and
make this explanation ID order that they
may understand why the report Of the
proceedings q their cOaveutlon does not
appear. Possibly no one was appointed
secretary, and hence the preparation Of q
export was neglected.
