Since the death of Pho Niuu the
Catholics of'the Portical States have
been called upon to consider the M ost
3df question known to the church,
sd in view Of the Offences existing
etwetn those States and the rest of
)aly, Germany and France, a ques-
on of vital Importance To adjust
hese troubles it was necessary to
x ELECT man of moderate views,
fminently learned and at the same
pine dignifed in his manners. Such
10 combination of qualities was found,
by the college Of cardin ais, to exist
in Joachim Pecci, an Italian cardi-
nal, who was elected Pope Of Rome
and will hereafter be Known in the
history of the world rs Leo NIII
The new Porti, in addition to his 9th
er qualities, brings to the aid Of the
church the experience of age, bein 6
about 6S years of age, and will pro
badly do as much toward the adjust
ment Of the delicate relations as any
man living. The reputation he bears
at home seems to warrant the prevail
ing opinion of Europe and America
that he is n man Of decided ability,
prudence and no extremist This is
fortunate for christendom, especially
when it is remembered that there are
200,000,000 catholics scattered over
the world among whom the will of
the Pope is the highest law.

Yarn Factory.

We publish today the proceedings
of the Committee appointed on the
Yarn Factory and would particularly
urge it upon all classes Of our com
munity to invest some portion Of their
earnings in this enterprise. The
price per share is only twenty five
dollars, sufficiently low for the poorest
of our citizens to lend the measure IL
helping hand. The actual accumu-
lation of property is not the only
benefit to he derived from the estab-
ment of this factory; it will create
indeed in our midst new products
which will have their values; but
besides this it will give remunerativo
employment to at least forty of our
citizens, which is an item of no in
considerable value. if successfully
carried out, it will be but the be GIN
ming of larger operations, new and
more extensive productions and an
increase in the number of laborers,
and there fore greater prosperity to
all classes in our community. With
the new productions new markets
will be created, larger supplies to
meet increased demands, aud, Of ne
cessity more extensive exchange Of
values will be the result.
The complete success of such an
enterprise looks to all increase Of the
population, the enhancement in the
value of lan,ls and building mate
rial, the prosperity of mechanics
and the establishment Of other intc
rests unlocked for from the present
standpoint. Such state Of things is
no .improbability, for the manutactur-
ing communities at the North and
elsewhere prove that like results
follow like causes, and all that is
needed here is faith in the undertuk-
ing and works to prove the faith.

Tho Birth Day Of Washington.

One hundred years ago Washing
ton created n new era, from which
should begin different phase in the
p li,ics Of nations; and new epoch,
from which the chrono!ogist might
date the record of events dcstins to
control the future historians Of the
world. In honor, therefore, of lh e
character which embodied such eXal-
ted virtues the citizens of our countr V,
III this centennial year, met together in
the towns and cities to pronounce
panegyrics in praise Of the most dis
tinSuished person Of modern times.
This is the first time the people ofth,
South, for seventeen years, have b ell
able to unite their efforts with 9th er
sections oi our land TO we've a'resh
Il wreath Of love, and, rs it were, to
place it upon the toomb Of the father
of our common country. InteTnation-
al strife threw vail for four long
years over the memory of him who
was first in war, first in peace au d
first in the hearts Of his countrymen.
Sectional variance, based upon Grim
nal prostitution of the power Of the
conquerer, kept the country divided,
and the bayonet, i'll times of profound
peace, guarded the avinues leading
to reconciliation; but OH Thursda y
last national love, true to her office,
gathered the citizen ola rede ,med
county around common alter to do
homage to the name and to perpetu
ate the memory of the virtues whic Ii
have given dignity to the America n
Nation and q glorious lustre to her
history. 1t was eminentIy proper
that South Carolina sho uld celebrate
this occasion under the leadership O
Hampton and Lee; the one, resemb.
ling his prototype in virtue, and
under the influence of success, has
become first in the hearts of his
countrymen; the other was the son OF
him whose memory is embalmed in
the Southern heart with the cause he
served so faithfully.
! This act ofa redeemed country an d
a reunited people declares that South
Carolina will do her full share OF
duty as chcerfully and as faithfully
in the future as she ever did in TIE
past May new season Of pcsperity

The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1878-08-02

We are again called upon TO note the
death of one of the most estlmable resi-
dents of EmpOria. Mrs. j. b. Hinkle
died last Saturday morning, July 9Th,
after an Illness of ten days.
This lady has been so long and faVora-
bly, known among us that her sickness
and death was the occasion of the ex-
preston of general sympathy by our
whole community. A large concourse Of
our citizens filled the Methodist church,
Monday morning In attendance upon her
funeral services which were conducted
by Mr.. Pye, the pastor. An appropriate
sermon was preached from Mark 1G, Sd
verse. The funeral procession was one OF
the largest we have ever seen on a week
day in our city.
Mrs Hinkle was born in kentucky,
January 4th, 1924 In her early life her
parents moved to Indiana where she lived
for many years. Some ten years ago she
came to this city with her husband and
family where they have made their home
since.
In every relation of life she has been
a true devoted woman and her loss is
great, not only in her home, but in the
church ana in our. community. We ten
der to the afflicted husband and children
our sincereSt sylnpathies. The loss Of a
faithful wife and loving mother cannot
be estimated. May time bring surcease
of sorrow, and reconcile the bereaVed
ones to their great affiictiOn.

THE COUNTY ATLAS.

The Surveying Work all Completed. 80
We have been permitted to examine
the township and other plats gotten up by
Edwards Brothers for tn cir history OF Ly-
on County which they are preparing to
publish, and judge the work will be very
full. accurate and useful. Those who
subscribe to it will find that they have
secured work that they will not part
with for many times Its very moderate
cost of ten dollars. Its completeness will
be such that we feel safe in saying that
probably twenty-five years will elapse be-
fore another attempt to get up an atlas
of this county will be made, and the num-
Der of copies will be limited to those
which will be subscribed for previous to
putting the first pages to press, a few
weeks hence. Every township is thor
oughly plated by itself, showing lines Of
each tract OF land, number of acres, name
Of owner, location of house, IL any, course
Of streams, location OF school houses,
churches, and pOstOfiices. There is also a
similar section plat of the county entire,
and plats of each city or town. with their
additions. The reading matter embraces
full history Of the county, records, sta
tistics, etc., and the work will be Illus
trated by fine engravings OF representa-
tive buildings, and residences, and con-
tain portraits Of prominent citizens of the
county. We strongly advise those who
have not subscribed to do so without de-
lay. Mr.. Edwards of the firm is still stop
ping at the Park Place hotel.
In this anunanffos, xva
arrival here this week Of Messrs. CT.
Leggett and s. p. MOsher, two artists of
Edwards Brothers establishments, TO
whom will be entrusted the work of tax
ing views Of buildings, and photographs
Of citizens which are to have place in
the atlas. These pictures add greatly 70
the attractIveness OF such q work, and in
after days become valuable mementDs OF
the present time. The expense OF getting
up engrayings Of the buildings is neeessa-
rily borne by the parties who own or oc-
cupy them, and is very moderate. We
trust all such parties win take liberal
minded view Of the matter, and incur the
necessary expense to have their buildings
represented in the atlas. 1t Is desirable
too to have the work contain 3 number of
portraits OF our representative men, and
we trust that all who are requested to fur
nIsh photographs for that purpose, will
cheerfully do so. It will be emInently
proper for any who are 50 called on TO re-
spend. The portraits Of the officers and
leading citizens Of Coffee county have
been furnished for the atlas Of that eoun-
ty, and Lyon County should not be behind
Coffee in enterprise.
Messrs. Leggets and Mosher are gentle
men who come highly recommended, and
they win personally interview our eiti-
zens on the subject OF engravings for the
Lyon county stlas.

Sabbath SchooI Ipstitutes.

The committee appointed to arrange
for a canvass in the interest of Sabbath
schools have arranged programmes for
and workers to assist In holding an insti-
tute in each township in the county, with
several additional appointments for mass
meetings in different Localities. 1t only
remains to complete arrangements for
time and place when the entire list of ap-
pOintments will be published.
1t is desirable that these meetings
should be held on the Sabbath and it is
not Intended they should be picnics.
With the exception OF q short interval
to solid institute work. The Information
al Sabbath school lesson for the day will
be the basic for work accompanied with
reviews of the preceding lesson. There
Will be exercises practically illustrating
primary cliss, intermediate class and BIZ
BILE class work. All who attend should
study the lesson beforehand and bring
their Bibles with them that they may be
prepared to take part.
Arrangements have been made for pre-
Iiminary meetings at Cottonwood meet
Ing mousse, IIhe Lo"nSnlp Blk miles west
of Emporia, and Forest Hill school house,
seven miles east in Jackson township, on
Sabbath, Aug. 18th at 8 p. m. The in
stiJutes for these townships viii proba-
bly, be held on Aug. 25th..
We hope to be able to announce the
! first institute for Aug. 18th In EImenda-
70 township, and from that on one OF
more for each Sabbath until the work is
complete.
In arranging for and carrying on thi 8
work we most earnestly desire the coun-
sci and help of all the teachers and
friends of the cause in the county.
by order of committee.
