EDITORS NEWS; The debating society
OF Reading is booming. Our large
school house is full every Tuesday night
People come TO our meetings from the
four winds, and go home better and
wiser men and women.
Two weeks ago Prof Wharton, of En-.
poria, delivered good address on edu.
cation before this society Last Tues
day night General Mcconnell, of Usage
City, favored us with his splendid effort
on The Great Desert He is n fluent
speaker, very pointed in his remarks,
very instructive and pathetic, and full OF
Irish wit. l think that Emporia, the
Athens of Kansas, would be benefited
by this lecture of General Mcconnell.
The young mems debating club, of
Emporia have challenged the Reading So
ciety for a joint debate. Reading &C
cepted the challenge, and the question
for debate will be announced this week,
and remember boys don't get mad-if
you get beat, we won't anyhow. Judge
Peyton has promised to deliver US a
speech soon. We will be glad to see
and hear the judge, and we promise him
Il full house, hearty welcome and some
good music. DANIEL DERONDA

The Golden City.

EDITORS NEWS: In Saturdays DAILY
we notice a communication from a spirit
named Thurston, in which he attacks
and tries to overthrow cur belief in the
golden city" Now we wish to remark
that we see no evidence of such fact in
his statement On the other hand, it is
evident that he has not reached very
high condition or grade of spirit life.
He evidently has several more conditions
to go through before he is worthy to see
the golden city" and we shall continue
our belief in that place until he investi-
gates further and reports again.
HARDLY EVER.
