The action of the meeting of the

Virginia and Georgia railroad to day
should be source Of much gratif
cation to the stockholders of the

The convention Of yesterdaymakes
it almost an assured fact that the

gia railroad company will shortly
assume such proportions as to justly
rank it among the great trunk lines
Of the country.
We understand that in order 10
meet the largely Increased traffic of
the line it is necessary to increase

struct the road to Woolf Creek to
meet the North Carolina system OF
roads during the present fiscal year,
They have redeemed a large part OF
the bonded Indebtedness which has
matured. The money raised upon
the increased stock is to be mainly
if not entirely appropriated to the
above purposes. Recent acquisi-
tions have increased the value of the
stock and we understand par was
freely offered for it yesterday, but
few persons, however, are willing TO
| sell at that.

The Republicans will assert, of
course, that it has no significance
whatever, but it is a curious fact that
at Warren, Ohio, Gen. Grant, who
presided, made the longest speech
of his life, reading the same from
a prepared manuscript, and never
once named Mr.. Garfield! 1t is no
less curious that Senator Conkling,
who made another greatest effort, ="
on the same occasion, equally avoid

The snnnIv well

We went down to the celebrated sup
ply well a few days ago. A new stream
of water had broken into it, aud number
of visitors were present, all feeling deep
interest in the matter. The impression
we got, without any practical knowledge
on the subject, is that there will not be
sufficient water for the city. Others,
who know more about 1t, believe there
will. We understand Mr.. Whittlesey and
Mr.. Alexander say that eight feet of water
in the we'll will supply four One-inch fire
pipes for eight hours. If this is so there
will undoubtedly be water enough, at
least for several years, to supply the
needs of the city. The water is filtered
through gravel, and is very clear and
nice. The digging and cleaning out was
finished Wednesday, and on Thursday
afternoon there were six feet of water in
the well. We hope the fears of the pub
lie generally that the we'll would be a
failure may prove to be entirely un-
grounded. The quality of the water
we are satisfied is all right, and now if
we can get it in quantity sufficient we
can all be happy.

what Is wanted

The first clip of wool brought to the
Emporia market this season made its ap-
pearaBee on the streets yesterday.
Prices range from twenty-five to thirty-five
cents per pound, according to quality,
and are likely TO hold up pretty stiff
throughout the season. Sheep-growing
is becoming one of the prominent inter
ests of Lyon county, and the success
realized in this direction by many of our
farmers, has induced others to invest in
the same enterprise, and the result will
be that, before long, Emporia will be
one OF the leading wool markets in the
state.
This fact cannot long escape the OBJ
servution of intelligent business men,
who, it seems TO us, could not employ
their capital TO better advantage to them
selves OF TO the interests of town than To
establish wooden mill at this point, and
thus inaugurate system of manufac-
lures, without which, it seems to US, the
city of Emporia cannot long continue
to prosper With the splendid water
power which can be commanded for such
a project, and the increasing supply of
the material required for the prosecution
of the enterprise, we cannot see why an
undertaking of this kind would not pay
handsomely, besides affording employ
ment To quite number of artisans, thus
enhancing the prosperity of the city.
We must not refuse to face the fact
that, while we have u tip-top town, its
growth is somewhat in advance of the
development of the country around it,
and its continued prosperity is depend
ent either upon an unprecedented immi-
grafton of farmers or the establishment
of industries in the town which will in
vite capital and labor. both of which can
be proiitably employed.
Our remotcncss from those materials
required in prosecution of the iron in.
terest, preclude the possibility of furn.
aces or machine shops, but there are
many other enterprises which are within
our range, among which We can men,
ton paper mills, flax mills, glucose fac,
tories, sorghum factories, wooden mills
&c, all of which are being established
in neighboring towns whose facilities
are not equal to our own in this direc
ton.
Emporia is one OF the wealihiest towns
in Kansas, ard we earnestly trust that
her capitalists will sustain their hitherto
excellent reputation as public-spirited
men by employing portion of the large
amount of money conferred at this point
manufactures as the resources of the
county will amply sustain and render d
financial success.
