The demand for houses to rent con-
tinues with unabated vigor, and parties
are every day offering to pay rents which
amount to from - to 10 per cent. interest
per annum on the prices they could pur-
chase the same property for. The very
rent they are so anxious to pay, would
in the course of a few years, pay the
bulk of the cost of a good house and lot
But they appear to not think of securing
a house. This is a great mistake. Set
tie somewhere. and Emporia is as safe
town TO settle in as any that could be
found, and make at least an effort to Sc

THE MARKETs.-The price of corn is
too high to last, the Emporia prices for
the last two weeks being above those at
Topeka, Kansas City, Chicago, st. Louis,
and other cities, as our market reports
have shown. We advise those who have
corn to sell, to market it while they can
get the rates that lately prevailed The
rain has knocked the bottom out of the
rise. AS instance of the correctness of
what we state, We can add that DR.. Ar
NOR has shipped in car load of corn
from Topeka, bought there at prices
which cost him to pay freight and get
1t here three cents below the price which
he would have to pay here. We would
like to see the price kept up, for the
benefit of the farmers who have corn to
sell, but it is evidently'going to fall. We
advise those who read the News to
market their corn if they can get 50
cents for 1t, and to lose no time in doing

Its effects are as wonderful and

1t restores gray or faded hair to

It removes all eruptions, itching

By its tonic properties it restores

making the hair grow thick and
