have been finally contaminated,
and the new proprietor will

STATED On the part of Mr. Heathering-
ton by the condition OF his health,
which is so delicate as to require, for
the present, at least, a respite from
the cares of business and rest for both
body and mind. BY dint of industry
and a natural adaptation for the
work, Mr.. II. has succeeded in estab
llshing an excellent business in coun-
ty where the political odds have been
largely against the success of Demo
cratic publication, and he has furnished
his readers with paper which reflects
much credit upon his qualifications SIS a
JON4hdiIet- We lE0St tue TCSl WHICH ne
seeks will prove potent in restoring him
TO health, and that he may again at some
future day find it in accordance with his
interests TO resume the tripod.
Mr.. McCown is weli-known through
out the county as young attorney of
excellent attachments, and his high
order of ability coupled with
q natural inclination for the
political arena and participation
in public affairs, justifies the belief that
he will be abundantly successful in his
new field of labor. He will change the
name of the paper to the Emporia
will discard the patent inside
and set up all of the matter which goes
into the paper, and will endeavor
to publish paper which shall
take high rank with the
leading journals of the state. The first
will make its appearance week
after next, and will be awaited by the
reading public with interest.

AT the council meeting last evening
John Bay introduced an ordinance pro-
yiding for the regulation of the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in Emporia. VIII ich
we are gratified to note was promptly
adopted. While the prohibtory law is
probably enforced with as much vigor
in Emporia as in any town in the state,
and its effect in the msin has been of the
most gratifying character, there is no
doubt but that considerable quantity
of intoxicants is still sold here, and the
action of the council looking toward q
more effective suppression of the liquor
traffic, is timely measure, and we are
pleased to note that the city fathers are
working TO this end.
