EMPoRIA.
Tho CROWN Of oar CITY in 1879.
List OF New Building. Erected Las.
Year
Pro.peets for 1880.

There are undoubtedly some omissions
and errors, but we have done all we could
to make the list complete and accurate.
and will he happy TO publish any cor
rections or additions that may be sent in.
Most all these buildings are of sub
stantial order, put up in good shape for
lifelong use, and many of them, both
business houses and residences, would
embellish the largest cities. The out
look for 1880 is even larger than the re-
suits secured in 1879. Our architects
and builders are full of orders, and await
only a renewal of good weather to start
the spring campaign.
The building of the water works is
expected to give Emporia the best growth
next year of any city in the state. 1t will
enjoy the distinction of being the first
city in Kansas to have water works, and
its works will be on a scale adequate to
supply cities OF 100000 population.
Pure and healthy water will be furnish
ed to any extent called for, on the relia-
BILE Holly system, from either the Cot
tonwood or NeOsho. These works will
make Emporia the best city in Kansas for
manufacturing purposes, because we al
ready have the location and railroad ia
cilities. The establishment Of manufac-
lures is all that Emporia needs to
continue in growth and prosperity for
many years, and shrewd and experienced
men, who travel largely through the west,
and have no special interests here, are of
the opinion that EmpOria is destined to
become, in Il reasonable number of years,
second to no city in the state
