OUR NEW TREAsURER.

VIM. Ernst, eldest son of the late
Treasurer Ernst, was Saturday appointed
to fill the vacancy occasioned by his
fathers death, by the unanimous vote of
the board of county commissioners.
The new incumbent is twenty-siX years
of age and possesses many of those
sterling characteristics which rendered
his lamented father SO popular with all
classes of people in Lyon county. He
has been in the office ever since his father
assumed the duties of his position in
October, and is, therefore, familiar with
the character of the work to be per
formed. His character is spotless, his
habits are above reproach, his integri-
t. is conceded on all hands, and the ap-
pointment is, under all the circumstan-
ces, highly fitting and will give the lar
gest measure of satisfaction throughout
the county. We believe that the mantle OF
Joseph Ernst has fallen upon shoulders
meet to bear it, and that the memory OF
the father will he honored in the official
career of his son.

A Good Cr,nnce for Ismporia


1t may be remembered by our readers
that something over q year ago very
valuable deposit Il Vonef's clay was
discovered 81 T." rtrn "a Joseph y.
Sweet, four niles northwest OF the city.
The clay was examined at that time by
John n. Ebey, practical potter, who
has charge Of large works at Roodhouse,
Illinois, and pronounced by him TO he
of the best quality for the manufacture
of all classes Of earihenware. On Sat
urday Mayor Eastman received from
Mr.. Ebey two samples of ware made
from the material in question, yellow
bowl AMI a small crock, which are now
on exhibition at the drug store of
DR.. j. A. Moore. They were
accompanied by a letter In
which the writer says that Mr.. Sweet is
in possession of one Of the best banks of
clay in the west, and that he is making
arrangements to come to Emperig in
Ike spring with view to establishing a
pottery for working up this valuable
material, and that all he asks 10 put
such an enterprise into successful opera
ton will be an advance OF $1,000, TO be
amply secured and beering interest until
paid. He advises the formation, how
ever, of 3 joint-stock company, with suf-
ficient capital 70 put up well equipped
works, and assures Mr. Eastman that
such "a industry would b. of the great
est advantage to the town and could not
fail to be financial success. Dir. Ebey
is the father of Roy. L.C. Ebey. formerly
pastor Of the Free Methodist church of
this city, and is thoroughly experienced
manufacturer ard business man. He
says 50 600 viii put up such works as
are needed to insure The SUCCESS OF the
undertaking ami offers to take $500 of
the stock, which be thinks it would be
wise 10 DIVIDE up into shares Of 5000.
We trust our business men viii take
hold OF this mater and give it the
prompt attention which 1t deserves.
