It's numerous grass-covercd hills aE
ford pasturage for thousands of cattle,
With its summer pastures, Astounding
water, winter and summer, with its wide
corn fields, it may be get down rs one
of the very best stock counties in the
state.
Cottonwood Falls, the county seat, is
beautifully located on the south bank

good stores, fiouring will, two hotels
large new school house and enc OF the
finest court houses in the state The las

MONDAY, MAY u.
Another heavy rain on Friday night.
=. Saturday was field day for Empo-
rians in Eureka. We observed Almerin
Gillett, c. W. Squires, Jim Griffith and
w. @. Jones, besides the regular brigade
of lawyers who were and have been in
attendance at court The Democrat
has moved its office of Main street TO
the rear of the Metropolitan hotel.
Some of the knowing ones intimate that
it has gone around there 10 die. The
editor of the Herald was presented last
Thursday with peck of new potatoes.
What do our eastern friends think of
thatg. :. Several changes in business
will take place soon. SO rumor has it,.
Last Saturday was the time appointed
to hold the convention TO select delegates
to the district and state conventions.
Oes of a representation of about IS
delegates-not over so were present, and
the most of them from Eureka township,
and we want TO add that if court had
not been in session there would not have
been half that many. These thirty dele
gates, some of whom were self-appoInt-
ed, decided who should be sent to repre-
sent the voters of Greenwood county.
The following were chosen for the
congressional convention at Emporia:
II. Stoddard, W. E. Doud, C. Reich, A.
W. Scott, and ]. c. Gray. Those for the
state convention were w. o. Lunds-
ford, VIM. McBrown, A. P. Cogswell, j.
w. johnson, and ]. B. Clogston. We
think that the central committee OF
LYON county are to be complimented on
their action in the appointment of dele
gates, for, they hate got a set of true
Republicans to represent them in these
conventions and that is more than
Greenwood county can say. -. The
young folks of the Congregational Sum-
day school contemplate holding
an ice cream supper soon".. :.
A very heavy white frost fell last night.
-. The prospects for little summer
are now apparent. Judge Peyton's
form doomed up in the NJ. E. church
last evening at the services. The smoke
from the locomotive can be seen on q
clear day. Quite crowd are getting
ready to max visit to Fort Scott next
Friday. If not improper your cores
pondent would like to remark that q
good set ofsound Republican delegates
appointed by the central committee are
far more acceptable than a set of mon
grels elected by few poll tical bench
men Selah. j. HAwKER.

Sunday afternoon gentleman who,
to Judge from the taiicred and soiled
appearance of his clothing, had travelled
far and Jared poorly, called at the house
of Mr. VI. w. Gilchrist, q; the corner of
Fifth and Rural, and requested to dine
at their board. The hour being an un-
seasonable one for tea, and the family
being absent, the servant girl told him
that she was sorry, sorrier than words
could tell, but that she could only pro
vide him with bread and butter.
"WbaL" he Indignantly answered, "have
You NO pie or cake?' The girl sized
him up and blandly replied that she
might find some. She sought the kitch-
en- and returned with basin full, not of
pie or cake, but of hot water. The tour
list evidently had become somewhat ia
millar with the sight of this and beat
hasty retreat. II this young lady doesn't
receive an offer of marriage inside of
four weeks, We shall lose all regard for
the appreciativeness of Emporia young
men.

An Open Letter to the EmpOria Board
of Education.

An Open Letter to the EmpOria Board
of Education.
To the Board Of Education Of Tie City Of
Emporta:
GENTLEMEN: In view of tine pros
pcctivc erection in shis city of two adj
ditional school buildings, respectfully
ask Your careful consideration of the
following Suggestions respecting the
safety of wooden as compar. d with brick
structures. We have had a number of
storms in this county and city, not all of
which were properly cyclones or hurri-
canes, but they were sufficiently severe
TO move ordinarily strong buildings. On
the 18th of April, 1878, a storm occur
red in this city Nhich leveled to the
ground the brick school house in dis
trict No. 80, situated southeast of tins
city. The same strnm struck with APP
parenlly equal severity the frame one on
the south side ofthe Cottonwood, known
as he Ross school house, but only aOoed
TIE building of ats foaadation.
Last May heavy storm passed over
Americas The brick church was
blown down. A frame church bat
two or three blocks away was only NOV
ed off It's foundation. Had these build
ings been occupied no one in the
frame houses would have hcen hurt
White it is not 4 reasonable probability
that any of the occupants of the brick
buildings could have escaped death.
Brick walls when moved but a few inch
es lose their entirety and are usually
precipitasCd in a mass TO the ground.
From this fact the cellar becomes at
once the most dangerous locality, and
hence there is offered no place Of refuge,
while in nine cases out Of erery ten no
| one has been injured who sought safety
in the cellars Of frame buildings. l be-
! lieve that wooden houses are one-fourth
cheaper than brick, and they certain
ly can be built, painted and shattered
so rs to present very substantial, neat,
and attractive appearance, as numerous
tasteful frame residences In this city full
| ly illustrate. The legislatures of many
of the states have passed the most strin-
| gent laws requiring the construction of
opera houses and other buildings of pub
lie 10 resort with view the preservation
of the lives of the occupants in case of
fire. l believe the history of the recent
past of this C unity waTran me in
the statement that the liabilities of
losses of life and property are equally as
| great FROM wind storms as from fire.
Pardon me for making one other sug-
geslSon which has the same end IN view
Four Luildings have been struck by
lightning since have resided in this
city, none # sehida had lightning rods
do not believe that il is the part of
wisdom TO leave public buildings, es-
psciaIy school houses, unprovided with
carefully adjusted lightning rods. The
school board are not only to provide for
the health and education, but are also
intrusted with the problem of affording
the best security for the EiOes of the hum
dreds of children temporarily committed
to their guardianship, and no means
should be lightly regarded, or left un.
employed which offers the best security
for this accomplishment.
Very Respectfully.

EAIPORIA BRICK.

The Product of Watson s. Groves Kiln.
Watson s. Grove have just burned a
new kiln of 100000 brick. said to be the
best ever made in Emporia, they expect
to have 100000 more burned by the list
of July. There had always been draw
back to our building here for brick, un-
til Watson & Grove took hold of it and
demonstrated that by close attention
and under proper management as
good brick can be made here as any,
where in the state. There need be no
further fear of scarcity of brick so long
as they keep in the business, and it is to
be hoped they will continue so until
they have made enough brick to build
our city up from one end of its streets to
the other with fine brick buildings, and
by so doing line their pockets with
greenbacks. They are now prepar-
ed to contract from one brick up to
one million, either put in the wall or at
their kiln. So builders and contractors
had better call at their Office and con-
suit them about brick, and, in fact any
thing in the building line. as they car
ry the largest stock. ofiime, sand etc, that
is carried in the city. They ship from
one to three cars of Council Grove lime
and from five to twenty cars of juno
ton City sand per week.

Respectfully inscribed TO the memory
of little Charlie, son of S. and e. Cur
rier, of Emporia, who was taken from
US May 9TH to dwell with the angels in
heaven. While we sympathize deeply
with our sorrew-s;ricken friends in this
their great loss, we would bow to the
will of God, knowing that the FLOWERS
fadeth and the grass withereth," so the
form of their loved one is given back
TO mother earth.n Yet shall his pure
spirit rise to God who gave it, there &c
join the cherubiin choir where the
sweet songs are the delight of God and
the angels.
Bright bud OF promise, winds of earth
by tender. childish life hath riven;
Sweet flowers like thee have perfect birth
But in the glorious light of heaven;
IT'S on the hills of Paradise
Such flowers can bloom in pcrfectness.
The Iight-winged choir was not complete
Until thou vast amid the thropg;
Till heayenward turned thy little feet
One voice was wanting IN the song.
One golden h arp was silent there,
One crown no other brow might wear.
You saw him bloom and pass away,
How tenderly you watched his flight.
But still you could not bid him STAY,
For such can only dwell in light;
Though he is gone from earth forever
A meeting waits beyond the river.
