In speaking of the railroad interests
of Topeka. the Capital has this to say
about road that interests the people
of this county: "Another most inn
portant enterprise for Topeka is the
road from Girard to this point. Gil
rard is situated in the midst of an in
exhaustible deposit of the best coal in
Kansas. The road is located and will
at once be built in northwesterly di-
rection to lola, in Allen county, thence
along the east bank of the Neosho
river, northward to Topeka. 1t will
give us direct supply of the best coal,
at competitive prices, and thus make
the establishment of various manufac-
lures, requiring cheap coal, possible
and profitable. 1t is intended to ulti-
mately extend the road northwardly
to the Union Pacific, and southwardly
by the way OF Arkansas pine forests to
the lower Mississippi and the Gulf.
thus by a direct diagonal route, fur
nishing transportation facilities for the
cereals of Kansas and Nebraska to a
water outlet, and a southern and Euro
pean market, and bringing back Gin

prairies the hard pine lumber of Ar

The Mason and Morgan troupe will
place upon the boards Monday night
Mrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms Cabin
This is the same troupe which played
at Scott last week and of which the
Monitor says: "There has been. but
one opinion and that is most fiatte,ing.
The audience was the largest that ev-
. er attended any similar entertainment
in the city. Every seat was taken and
about 125 extra chairs were added, still
many stood up. We can heartily COM
mend the Mason & Morgan combina-
ton wherever they 60" From the
Emporia Neps we quote the following
expressions Of good will, which with
the above we take from about fifty
extracts equally flattering: "Before the
curtain went up almost every seat in
the house was taken, and by the time
the first act was completed it was
almost impossible to obtain even
standing room in the hall. The little
girl who took the part of Eva. fairly
captured the audience, and her sing
ing elected the most enthusiastic APP
plause. The play was somewhat
lengthy, but the attention OF The au-
dience was held TO the close, and the
magnificent tableau with which lac
performance concluded, was The grand
est spectacular achievement ever wit
messed by an Emporia audience. The
presentation throughout was very
acceptable and it has been long time
since an entertainment was given in
Emporia, which gave such universal
satisfaction

Through pure carelessness we have
heretofore neglected to notice the ap-

Examining Surgeon at lola, official
notice of which was made about the

his good fortune, and also in saying
that it will give general satisfaction to

in knowing that the Office will be con-
Quoted as it should be, under d.. Full

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1881.
Our reporter happened TO ascend tn

Our reporter happened TO ascend the
roof of Beatty's new block one after
noon recently, and when taking q
bird's-eye view of lola he noticed sew,
eral things Of interest, and which went
to show that lola boometh muchly.
From the north steaming rapidly
past valuable and improved farms
came the passenger from Kansas City,
while on the same road X. c., L. q 5.
r. r. from the south came the long
afternoon freight going north. Over
at the depot Of the st. Louis, Ft. Scott,
lola & Wichita Railroad the yard en-
CINE was handling the cars loaded
with material for the extension west,
and way out east there rose the rapid
" nearing smoke of "No. 81 from Ft.
Scott going wsst. A glance over
town showed thirty or forty new
houses, the greater number as yet I'M
painted, while upon every side count
less small Improvements had been
made. A new fence here, a little
paint there, and barns and out build
ings everywhere. Up in Boughton's
addition the costly house as yet I'M
finished, supplemented on all hands
by neat residences pointed to
a vigorous growth Of that fashionable
part of the city. Up and down Wash
ington and Madison avenues there
were throng of teams, and in and out
of stores steady stream of people was
passing. Over on the corner two
street auctioneers were bowling them
selves hoarse over their wares. Down
by the river the lola Water Mills were
in full operation, and between, as the
eye returned to town. rose the steam
from the elevator and mills at the de-
pot. On every hand was the stir and
hustle incident to q live, business
place. And as memory took a retro
spective glance backward over a few
years, our reporter could hardly realize
that such strides had been taken CON
ward and upward" Has the united
action, wise coUnsels, and steady de-
termination to so forward to the
future with unfaltering courage paid?
If SO, let us once more to the front, and
with strong and united hearts work
for the browning triumph CT all; the
third and best road of all-the Lincoln,
Topeka, lola & Memphis Railroad.
