One by one the old "land marks of
Emporia are giving away to the march
of improvement. Last week the little
white house on the southwest corner of
Merchants and Fifth was removed to
give way for Powell's new Fifth Ave
nue. hotel, which will soon take its
place. The little building was among
the early built residences of the city. 1t
was erected before the war by VIM. Raw
son, now of Greenwood county. These
lots make one OF the most eligible sites
for hotel in the city. We understand
the two lots brought 81 800. To show
that the prices of property here are
kept within reasonable bounds, we may
mention that in 1870 or 1871, when EN-
poria had her first boom, the owner was
Offered $500 for this same property,
which offer included the small building,
just moved off. 1t was afterwards sold
for 81 200, and now the bare lots bring
81 800.
Another old time land mark. to-wit:
those grand trees, ON the Norton corner
opposite the above, are soon to give way
for improvements 1t is almost a sin,
it seems to us, to remove those trees.
They were planted some twenty years
ago by Doctor Newton, who was then
one of the characters of the little town.
The people who appreciate trees have
held "old Doc" as we called him, in
grateful memory ever since. The sight
of those trees has ever been refreshing,
in the general absence of shady spots
about the city. Doctor Newton left be-
hind blessing which has been duly ap-
preciated by our people. We really
think that the lots ought to be purchased
by the city or county, and the trees pre-
served. That half block would make a
beautiful and desirable little city park
And better yet it would make a good
court house site. The lots could be pur-
chased and he'd till the county got
ready for a new building, and the trees
could be mostly preserved. There is
not suitable spot in this twenty-four
year old town in which to hold out
door meetings. Through the kindness
of Mr.. Norton, the little grove has been
used considerably in the last two or
three years for public purposes. The pres
cnt location OF the court house could
not be moro abOminable, and all realize
that II must some day be changed. A
site ought to be procured now, or the
building must again be put out OF town.
THE News has several times called at
tention 10 this really important matter.
We believe the half block spoken of
could now be secured ut a reasonable
price, the buildings taken off, and the
grounds could be used for public park.
Would it not be wise TO look after this
matter before the suitable locations are
all improved or rise to ten times their
present value.

Master Smith is the first of his race to
graduate from the schools of this city
and his achievements are the source of
just pride on the part of his parents
who have spared no pains in giving
him the advantages of education. He

cheered at the close.
