Samuel s., son OF Henry and Sarah J.
Penrod, was born in Lyon county, Kan
sas, August Both, 1860, died in Emporia,
Kansas, May 21st, 1879, in the 10Th year
of his age.
Samuel's disease was consumption.
He had been sick for number ofmonths
He told the writer, during one his visits
while talking with him on the subject
of religion, that for the last two years he
had felt the importance of seeking the
Lord, and becoming christian; but had,
as too many others do, put it off until a
'more convenient season." During the
latter part of his sickness, he became an
earnest seeker of salvation, and left to
his sOrrOwing parents, brOthars, sis
tiers and friends clear and satisfactory
evidence that he had obtained the saliva
ton for which he had been seeking, and
was saved through the merits of Jesus,
and was not only ready, but willing to
die. When, on the morning of his death,
his mother was speaking of the fact that
in all probability they would soon have
to give him up, he told them that he
thought they ought to be glad to see him
released from his sufferings, and spoke
of God having answered his prayers, and
how happy he was. May this sad be-
reavement result in "the parents giving
themselves anew to the service of God,
and in the salvation of the brothers and
sisters that are not christians. The wri-
ter improved the funeral occasion at the
home of the parents of the deceased by
preaching to an attentive congregation,
from John iii, 16 L. G. EBEY.

ImpressIons of a visitor

AMERICUS, June 70.
We were delighted as well as surprised
at the consummate excellence of all the
exercises of the Normal graduating class
of 1879, with which they honored an ap-
preciative audience on the 25th at the
Presbyterian church, Emporia. Themu-
SIC was fine. The "Class song" gem
in itself, was beautifully rendered, and
must have touched every heart. One
cannot but feel that the future of our ma
ton will be safe in the hands of men
starting in their youth with such noble
ideas and aspirations as were advanced
by the young orators. Young men, be
true to your promise. Remember also
It's action makes the man. Where all
was So good, it would seem unjust to
single out any, yet must be allowed to
refer especially to Carl POmeroy. He
has struck the keynote. May he ever be
true to his convictions and ever watch
the interests of the nations safety
valve" And now a word for our two
Americas girls, who graduated yester-
day--one of them under great difficult
ties-ever struggling with cobwebs-.
Dear girl, may you ever be faithful and
successful in clearing them away, in the
unknown future lying before you

Orators and Oratorv,

The "buncOmbe" cOiners are at it with
all the avidity which a relish for spread
eagle" stump afatory can possibly i'm
bue this mortal frame. In the wander
ings of our reporter this morning no less
than three of the said gentry were found
in various stages of the dlsease-one was
in the midst of his harangue to an as
sects) and was wearing out his already
threadbare carpet at an alarming rate,
and gesticulating In manner that caused
our scribe to pause at the door before
C.'s-ponderous fist, lest in the height of
his imaginative discourse he should mis-
take the humble quill driver for ''vi
cious measure, calculated to annihilate
all the rights and titles of the hard work
ing man and free son of A-merica, "
and in his frenzy come down with all the
force of his mental and physical capaci-
ty on the head of the luckless "item
grubber." Without waiting for the re-
action to set in our Q. D. meapdered to
the sanctum of another of the Hons and
found him in less aggravated stage of
the complaint. He had reached about
20 degrees, Fahrenheit, in his mass of ny
perbole and metaphor, and with $50 de-
grees in prospective was rapidly max
ing up talk" that should raise the
hair from the head of his inspired hear
ers. The time-honOred custom of read
ing the declaration of independence will
not form SO prominent part of the cele-
brations now as formerly; so that 'The
course of human events" runs no smooth
er perhaps than the article dispensed at
the hands of the tickle Cupid"
Whatever may be said of other states,
certain it is that Kansas will do her full
share this year in honOring the Nations
Birthday, and the sentiments uttered,
the enthusiasm which will undoubtedly
prevail will be renewal of the old
pledges, renewed faith in the principles
of our government, and a hearty belief
in the future prosperity and happiness
of all the jewellers in our Free United
States.

ANOTHER ROBBERY. - Wednesday
night young man named Charles May,
a plasterer, who works for Frank Nc.
Cain, was robbed by his room mate, in
the room at Joseph Halls, where both were
boarding. The thief is young man
named -- who had previous
ly stolen something from May, but had
expressed such deep contrition that May
had forgiven and continued to room with
him. Wednesday, after May had gone
to bed, his friend came in and proceeded
to shave off his -mustache. He then ap.
preached the bed, razor in hand, and
spoke several times TO May, asking if he
was asleep. May was afraid of him with
the razor, and feigned slumber, and then
had the satisfaction of seeing his COM
rade search his (May's) clothes, taking a
valuable watch and chain, and also a
valuable shot gun and case and two re-
volvers, and quietly walk off into the
unknown night. AS soon as May thought
he could safely give an alarm, he did so,
but the thief had got away IN the dark
ness and could not be found. He went
we'll armed, and now we expect to hear
of a good horse missing, and of a
solitary cavalier riding over the purple
hills and far away, probably bound for
the Colorado mining regions.

We were favored Wednesday with
a call from Mr. A M. Henderson, who is
proprietor OF the "boarding train on the
narrow gauge. Mr.. H. conduced IN no
small degree tc the pleasure and com.
fort of the excursionists on Thursday
last, opening his heart and cOmmissary
and dispensing with a liberal hand, the
many eatables which he had at hand.
liberal lunch was prepared by the rail
road managers, but the crowd was so
large and the incentive so great thai
many would have doubtless, felt the
cravings of hunger instead of apply
ing that astronomical feat to the an
Inhalation of palatable condiments, had
Mr.. Henderson not come to the rescue
and given without price," all that was
asked for. The boarding train is still
at Homer creek, but. will be moved to
Eureka tomorrow, where they will &C
cOmmodate all hands who are at work
on the thirty mile run now inprOcess OF
grading. 1t is but proper to say that in
the work of preparing food for so large
a number of men as are employed. Mr..
II. has the valuable assistance of his es
timable wife, and as an instance of hel
energy we are informed that on the night

left in Emporia, missing the train, il
the meantime his wife had been notified
that breakfast was wanted at O'Clock

Saturday seems to have been replete
with extraordinary occurrences, not least
among which was the encounter between
a prominent official and well known far
mer, whose names we withhold out of
respect to the parties involved. 1t seems
the w. K. F. was disposed to be little
hard on some of the boys of certain
locality, while the p. D. was as fully
determined that even the devil should
have his due, and being somewhat warm
in his defense of the said "boys," the w.
K. F. boldly asserted that he, the P. O.,
was no better than the "boys" themselves
This was too much for the average run
of humanity, and though willing to
stick up for the crowd and defend them
to the last ditch; to be counted in as
zone of 'em," was trifle too "brash," SO
like "Ah Sin" he went for that w. K. F
in a way that meant business. The lat
terput up his clippers" and showed up
smiling. P. o. tented with his right
and put in a slogger with his left, where
upon w. X. F. countered, and if he had
only hit his man the general opinion is
he would have gone clear to Usage City
as it was he only made hole in the
heavy atmosphere of the place. Things
then got hot, and P. o., grabbing chair
would have doubtless annihilated w. K
F. in the next round had not parties in
terfered and stopped the affair. What
will be the termination of the matter
none can say. No action has been taken
yet that we could learn.

There are many farmers who are in

money at as low rates and on as favora-

How to Spend a Rainy Day.

The s. 8. excursion to Madison yester
day consisting of about 200 children from
the Baptist and Christian schools, with
parents and teachers, was delayed, by the
tardiness of train from Eureka, unit
IL O'Clock, when a message was received
from superintendent SeverY, saying tha
on account of the violence of the storm
and the newness of the road it would bt
unsafe to proceed. Sheltered from the
rain by the cozy cars, the excursionist.
had already made themselves happy il
the determination to make the best o.
the situation. Buses and carriages were
now sommOned and the company trans
ferred to the Baptist church where tables
were spread with bOunties and delica
cies that were to have been served in
some .Shady wood" The heartines:
with which all enjoyed the repast, re
minded US of the power of rail road
travelling to sharpen the APPETITE.
After dinner Judge Bachelor was call

cussed and adopted:
WHEREAS, On account of the storm
we have dined in EmpOria instead Of
Madison; therefore.
ReSOLed, LIST. That there is no better
place in Kansas to take dinner than oul
own city, as none know better how to
provide it than the ladies of our churches
and homes.
