Emporia has maze q better and more
rapid growth this season than any one
since 1874. To say nothing OF the large
number Of smaller buildings which have
bsen erected, the fine block OF three bu-
siness buildings south Of 5th avenue, east
side Of Commercial street, the large bu-
siness room now being erected by DIR.

est residence In Southern Kansas, under
way by Governor Eskrl dge, the new ho-
tel commenced by w. B. Luther, the
large brick residence just commenced by
NJ w. Phillips, and others. abuuda ntIy
prove the assertion at the commencement
OF this article. This growth is perma-
nent and is made upon = far sounaer ba-
sis than the rapid improvement OF 1S69-5O.
That, TO great extent, was feverish
and over-stimulated growth. The pres
emit improvements are made after having
gone through the process Of the financial
'Esweat," and are made upon the actual
demand for m ore and better buildings.
They are most all being made, too, by
our most careful business men. This all
speaks we'll for EmpOrla, and shows the
faith Of our oldest and shrewdest citizens
In its future.
