Good scheme.

We learn a number of our enterpris-
ing citizens have become interested in
q movement to purchase the fair grounds
and buildings from the Lyon County
Agricultural Association, and by invest
Ing sufficient amount OF money to put
them in first-class shape, revive an inter
est Ia the annual exhibitions of the va
rious products OF this country. The as
ISOLATION for some years past has
been laboring under financial EN-.
barrassments, and this has initiated
to great extent, against the success OF
our county fairs, though the last exhl-
ton had the weather been favorable
would have been highly crditable one
We should like to see some step taken
which would kindle new interest
among the various classes of producerr
and exhibitors throughout the county,
and we hope the projected scheme will
materializO under such encouraging au-
spices as to afford the highest incentives
to farmers and others to cooperate in
making first-class exhibition next fall

The present is curtain,
Forever hung between
The things on which we once have looked
And the things Is yet Unseen
The past lies dead behIad ne,
With all Its joy and pain,
And we know not II the future
Holds for Us loss or gam
Though che past be dark and stormy,
And the future be full OF wee,
Bright hope and patient courage
We may in the present know.
Though our lives be crushed and saddcEed
Asthe curtain rolls slowly up.
We can gather now the honey
That may sWeeten the bitter cup.
LOOK not with vain repining.
Upon the vanished past;
Nor seek TO draw the curtain
From the future strange and vast
But do thy work with patience.
Though thy toll may ifksome be;
Be grateful for the blessings
That the present holds for thee

The mayor of Emporia recently elect
ed, Mr.. S. B. Warren, in his message to
the council, makes the following excel
lent points: "The enforcement OF the
prohlbitory liquor law will be another
duty that we must not shiTk, but like all
other laws upon the statute book, it must
be enforced, Peacefully if we can, forci.
bly, if we must / am not one
of those who believe in war until
all means of peace have been tried and
fail And | believe the sale of liquor In
Emporia can be controlled with much
less blowing of trumpets and much less
politics than many of our citizens. be-
lieve. Men are born and educated in
different countries and under different
circumstances. It is but natural that
they should have different opinions
But here we all stand alike in our duty
to one another and obedience to thu law,
and our duty is marked out for US, and
that is to- enforce the law"
We wish we could say for Topeka
that its mayor was as sound in his duty
as Mayor Warren.
