GOING TO NEWTON

We understand that Miss Lizzie
Coult Of this city has purchased The
Beehive book store at Newton aud will
conduct the same with enlarged and bet
ter facilities We are pleased to note
this purchase because of the desire OF
this excellent young lady to secure a
business of this kind in good Kansas
town, In choosing Newton we believe
she has made a wise selection, in Ismuch
as the town itself is an enterprlsing one
and among the best in the state. and also
as the opening tor such an establish
ment appears to be a hatteFing one.
We Can assure the citizens of
Newton that they have secured most
estimable lady in Miss Coult, and that
our people deeply regret her departure,
and that of her genial mother and the
family, all of whom are thus destined to
remove to our sister city. Miss Couit
for z long time was a respected teacher
In the city schools and gave up her posi-
ton therein to accept one in the book
business of Ellen Plumb. She releases
the latter TO take hold of the Newton en-
terprise, and carries with her the best
wishes o: all her Emporia acquaintance,
who will always be glad to hear of any
success she may enjoy.

SunhOWer Seeds

H.A. Willery, Westmoreland Co, Pa.
asks us: "Are sunfiower seeds valuable ?
II so, what for? Would it pay to grow
themr" He has heard that if "grown
in miasmatic regions, they would pre-
vent chiils and fever. as this so 81
! AS to the last question. We have no
proof that the sunfiower possesses any
peculiarly snti-malarial properties
The seeds contain about fifteen per cent
oil, and are valuable as food for fatten.
ing poultry. They are also regarded as
useful for horses with heaVes, or other
trouble of the respiration. These are
the principal uses for the seeds IN this
country. In Europe especially in south
ern Russia, the sunfoWer is grown In
large quantities tor the expression of oil,
which is also produced to some extent
in France, but much less than formerly.
The diminished cultivation is on the &C
count of the rich soil required, the diff
| iculty of preserving the crop from
| birds, and that the small percentage of
| oil, which is less valuable than that pro-
duced by poppy seed. We know of no
attempts at cultivating the sunf1ower on
the large scale in this country. The
plant Is notably rich in potash, and
consequently exhaustive of the soil. If
the stems are used as fuel, the ashes
should be returned to the IaRd.-Ameri-
| can Agriculturist.

TAKEN IN.


Thursday a stranger signing himself
as j John F. Harriott arrived here on mis-
way from Fl. Scott 10 Junction City.
He was driving one horse which he put
up at Gilchrist's stable. At some time
In the night the horse died. He seemed
to be a man who could lily afford the
loss. He had no acquaintance here
and could give no references iniihe city.
He gave plausible account of himself,
however, and our business men went
to work aud soon raised
enough money to purchase another
horse. This treatment is characteristic
of EmpIrla aud her people. There are
few places where the mlsIortunes of q
stranger without any special claim upon
the public would have received better
expression of sympathy or would have
been treated IN a more practicable way
The stranger can now continue his jour
ney, and as he does SO it will be with
kindly feelings for the people of the
city where he was ''t4ken in" in such an
agreeable manner.
