Southern Attractions.

engrossed, we may say for over
twelve months past, the attention
of the people of the South. The
almost illimitable resources of the
South are attracting the attention
Of foreign capitalists and labor, and
this of itself has operated as en-
incentive upon our best, and most
enterpising men to put their own
shoulders to the wheel" and make
an effort in that direction to develop
them. We have long been assured
that the true interests of the South
in all possible relations, required
the addition of a large, Intelligent
population, practical in the various
skilled industries, which veuld ap.
propriate and develop the great
resources of this section of the
Union, and bring all the forces Of
an advanced, industrial life to eur
aid. The sell and climate, and. the
rich mineral wealth of the Southern
States, are worth the attention of
all, and OFFER attractions to capital
and labor of the NEST inviting kind.
While hundreds of thousands OF
laborers are at the point Of destltu.
ton at the North, the South opens
its broad area to give cheap, free,
profitable homes, where wealth and
independence may be secured on
small capital. The results of the
war, in removing the grand barrier
to this addition to the population
of the South by substituting the
energies of free labor for the old
system, cannot be measured. What.
ever may have been the old
jealousies and antagonisms, the I'M.
derlying cause is removed. The
institutions Of the country are now
homogeneous, and the most cordial
and generous spirit exist towards
all who, come as friends to identify
themselves with the growing future
of our people.
There is a demand in tee ~Souta
for two things more than all otheq,
and these are capitalists end skilled
farmers. These we need. These
We must have. a capitalist will
find here q SAFE and sure place to
invest his money in almost every
branch. The farmer is sure of a
6ne climate, rich land at a low
figure, with . market equal to. any
in the United States. The South
demands and must have more pro-
duce than is raised. And yet, with
all the advantages and inducements
offered in the South, 1t. is strange
that 50 many people remain in
cramped. up cities and densely popu'
lated districts in the East and Mid
die States. Why they do SO, they
are not able to tell. In our opinion
they lack courage. and information
Tue South is the place for the young
and active and the middle aged,
Fortune looks every man in the
face. There is but one thing to
do-come South, put.on the armcr
Of '"enterprise and industry" and
in .n~inety~one, cases ont Of every
hundred,4 there will come success
Let them pluck up courage. and
shake the old dust off their feet
and strike for pure air and :fresher
and richer SOIL.

RULES FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Among other recommendations con
tanned in the superintendent report to
the school board last Monday night were
the following, which were unanimously
adopted by the board as part of the rules.
First, That pupils guilty of bringing to
school, smoking, having or distributing
cigarettes on or about the school premises,
be held liable to suspension under that
part Of the rule which makes habits and
practices injurious to others a sufficient
ground for expulsion from the schools.
Second, That the rule requiring all
pupils to be vaccInated before they can
attend school be repealed, and pupils be
allowed to attend henceforth without re-
gard to vaccination.
1t may not be known to all parents that
the cigarettes so freely distributed among
children contain opium and other injurious
drugs which soon places the users of them
under such habit and influence that they
find it almost impossible to break off.
This move Of the superintendent and the
board is in the right direction and will
receive the hearty endorsement of every
interested pa rent.

THE REVIVAL MEETING.

| A good sized congregation greeted the
evangelist, W. II. Hurlbut, at the Baptist
| church last night. The choir gave some
good music before the hour arrived for
preaching, Mr.. Frank Sherman leading
and Mrs. Furlong at the organ. 1t was
evident last night that the evangelist is
going to have good support in his efforts.
Mr.. Harper made the opening prayer, after
which the evangelist arose to preach his
| first sermon. Mr.. HurIbut is small,
| heavy set man, in appearance about fifty
years old; florid complexion and closely
cropped, silver gray hair, and Websterian
head and face. He talks good deal in
a conversational tone of voice, but occas-
ionally leads off in flights of grand oratory
that gives great force to his preaching
and makes him exceedingly interesting.
He also shows an earnestness
in the work to which he has been called,
which secures him the closet attention. In
fact the evangelist seemed last night to
have now the confidence and esteem of his
congregation at his very first meeting.
Frequent remarks were made at the close
of the service which showed that many of
those present expect to see revival of re-
ligion the like of which Wichita has never
before witnessed. The evangelists sermon
which was from the verse of the 10Th chap
ter of Isiah was intended more particularly
for church members. He did not think
there was any trouble in having good
meeting il the members of the church
would do their duty. He thought there
would be a great revival here if church
members did not stand in the way. There
was only one or two ripples of laughter,
with this exception the evangelist seemed
to impress the congregation with great
solemnity,

MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS,

The stockholders of the Wichita Soap
Manufacturing company will hold meet
ing at the Office of the company at the
factory next Saturday at $3.50 p NJ to con-
slider the proposition of increasing the out
put. 1t is claimed that the factory has a
capacity much greater than the output
and more capital is all that is necessary to
put out greater quantity Of soap with
little more expense.
The company has been talking Of the
scheme for some time and deferred action
to find out how the output was received
on the market. Learning that the houses
handling il could sell much more than
the factory can make the first difficulty
seems to be removed, and it is thought
that there will be no doubt of the output
being increased.

And again q councilman is heard speak
OF the once famous omnibus" bill, but
which for some time has been pigeon-holed,
with the accent on the ''holed." The ward
manipulation turned himself loose yes
terday to the following tune: There is
scheme on foot to pass that bill You
know it was ordered drawn up and the
city attorney submitted it all one night,
nifty sections or more. The many things
to be known as crimes against the city
were put in it, and l guess some OF those
joint sections sometime ago wiped out
causing our late unpleasantness, were re-
instated, which probably caused it to ap-
pear indigestible to some members. Yes.

actly in the right position for prompt

somehow at the measure, and many of US

as proof So he makes humanitarian
stride, undoing the work and giving US
the snorting, nervous engines, compelling
people who visit Us in carriages TO hitch in
the alley, instead Of in the street like
white folks. Well, so and so. it is remeu,-
bered, voted for it, and so and so did not,

BY AN ELECTRIC SPARK.

Two farmers last evening stopped In

street and looking in through the front
door thought they discovered fire. Just
then Cash Henderson passed and the two
men called his attention to the matter. It
took Cash just about second TO know
that there was within fire which IL not
stopped would prove most disastrous. he
stepped upon the pavement and with the
reverberations Of his gentle tones shook
the center of the city with cries Of fire,

other men were soon in the room and had
the flames extinguished- The fire depart
