heath n1nAn HIAII,a

A telegram from a friend IN Eureka
announces the death of Judge Geo. II.
Lille At that place Tuesday night at IL
O'Clock. This news will be received with
expressions Of sadness by the earlier
settlers of Lyon county who knew Mr..
Lille we'll. He settled at NeOsho Rap
ids, in this county, as early as 1853 or
1889 At the election in the fall of 1860
he was chosen by a handsome majority
to represent this county IN the territorial
Legislature, and performed his duties in
a manner creditable ~ himself and his
constituents. He had the year before
represented the old county of Madison,
which was composed Of parts Of Lyon and
Greenwood, in the Wyandotte cOnstitu-
tiOnal convention. In 1861 he was elected
district prosecuting attorney for this
judicial district, and reelected in 1868.
This office was abolished by the law
substituting county attorneys before the
expiration of his second term.
Some years ago he left this county
and took up his residence at Eureka.
He held important official positions in
Greenwood county. Mr.. LillIe was
we'll known by the members Of the bar
throughout southern Kansas. He was q
quiet man in his manners, and for some
years has taken little part IN public
matters. He must have been aged about
90 years. Rapidly the old land marks
Of our early history are giving way &c
the march OF improvements. and those
who we've prominent actors in the drama
of onr early life are being called to Iheiv
reward. The death of Geo LIllie will
bc regretted by all who knew him.

Church Festival.

The church festival, given by some of
Tuesday evening last, at the residence
of A. G. White, four miles southeast of
EmpOria, proved to he a very enjoyable
affair,
The house was very brilliantly illum-
mated, both above and below. The
company consisted of ladies and gentle
men, both from the city and surround
ing country, who continued to gather
in until the house was quite we'll filled.
The exercises of the evening consist
ed chiefly of music, both vocal and in
strumental, and when the sweet strains
of music in one room, intermIngled
with the merry peals OF
laughter in another, one could not help
but feel merry and sOciable. rs indeed
all were. In due time supper was an
nounced and as many as could he seated
repaired to the dining room, where
the table beautifully arranged, under
the supervision OF Miss Dellie Moore
met our gaze. We will not attempt a
description of the supper as our attcn-
ton was attracted by couple of oysters
trying TO dance to the lively harmonious
music. which softly fioatcd in At the
open door.
AS the seats at the table were vacated
they were reflled until all
had cracked crackers, slipped soup
etc. The festival was given for
the benefit of the Christian church now
undergoing erection at EmpOria, and We
hope that the ladies having the affair IN
hand were as successful with their OBJ
.iect in view as were those who came for
amusement, for if the clock on the man

ranged time it would have struck 90 be.

DOTS FROM DELL,

EDITORs NEws:-The weather in this
locality IS now sufficiently clement to
admit of huskIng, and judging from THO
energy which farmers display in secur-
ing their corn, they appear 20 appreciate
the boon. The vacillating nature of our
Kansas climate is such that agricultur-
lists require not only To make hay while
the SIM shines, bHt alsO 70 gather corn
while they can.
II may interest those or your readers
that are religtously dispOsed To know
that our Sunday School work, under the
direction and approved superintendent
of Mr.. +. SYmmonds, during the last Six
m0nths, hiss beep conducted in 80 inter
estIng .and prosperous a manner that
nothing short of a reorganization would
sult the numerous members connected
with the work. and consequently, con-
trary to the usual custom of the greater
nnBher Of county plans Dell Sunday
school will De continued through the
winter.
Our literary association which con-
trIbuted 80 largely to the higher culture
and enjoyment of its promoters last
season, will again begin on ThHrsd az
the 10th day Of this month. We are
glad to be able ID state that Mrs. Arthur
Phillips has kindly consented To direct
the musical part of ouT entertaiAutents.
Mrs. Phillips is q polished and Ae.
GompiisLed singer.
Dir. WIN Orr, who, Ivy the way, is the
p0ssessor of some of the finest swine va
have seen in the state, has just received
from J Il Howe, Lasalle, county. Ills.
what he represents as a fine male of
thai order. The chief characteristics of
this eastern hog are length of snout
that is certainly not Ksnsan, an adj
mirahle capacity for battling the
Inconvenience of muddy pens, in that
he stands head and shoulders above his
fellows, and finally, "slabsideness''
that too plainly indicates "giYe me some
more corn" To tell the plain truth our
Kansas hogs are hard to beat, aud If the
specimen above alluded to is an evidence
of eastern superiority the less we have
to do with them the better. When an
eastern breeder coolly and deliberately
sends veritable scrub to a western
party who confldinglY requests him to
send 3 superior animal irrespective OF
price in order to improve his own stock,
we think that the name Of such q breed
er ought to be well remembered, and
dealings with him strictly avoided.
