Going to Kansas CITY,


Mr.. L. E. Holmes returned to-
day from Kansas City, where he
has been made president OF
the Kansas City Investment CON-
pany, which represents a capital OF
over $IO,O00,000. While we congratu-
late Mr.. Holmes on having secured such
a lucrative and influential position il is
source of regret which many will
share that this change In his business
will necessitate the removal from
EmpOria of one of the very best
families in the place. Mr..
Holmes only recently moved
into most beautiful home at the corner
of Seventh avenue and Mechanics
street, and 1t is difficult to reconcile
oneself to the thought of his leaving it
after bestowing so much labor upon its
adornment
There is no doubt, however, that the
change will be an advantageous one for
Mr.. Holmes, and we have reason TO be-
lieve that the only losers wlll be the
people of this community, with whose
best interests Mr. II. and his family
have been so actively identified. They
will leave here about the LIST of October.

From the foregoing 1t can he readily
seen that Kansas leads all other favored
fruit growing states, and not only leads
but will have no formidable competitor
in disposing of her product.
The product of several of her competi-
tors is reported of an inferior quality
whilst that of Kansas is remarkably fair,
and every way superior.
Our producers should not be in any
haste to dispose of their crop of winter
keeping varieties, and much less to &C
cept such very low prices as buyers are
disposed to offer.
Very respectfully,
G. G. BRAEKETT, Sec'y.
