The late Oliver Phillips, one of the best men that ever lived iu the county, thought he was the next settler to Mr.

There was not at any one time more than rain enough to lay the dust from August 1859 till Octolier 1860, a space of fourteen months, and not a drop from April to Octolier, 1800. Crop raising having but fairly begun up to this time there was no surplus in the county.

In the fall distress and starvation stared many jX'ople in the face. A public meeting was held in the Christian church and committees were appointed to investigate and report on the true condition of things. Only one township, Jackson, rejHirted that it did not need any "aid." The other portion, of the county were not so fortunate. 1,000 acres of wheat in Emporia, Pike, Americus and Fremont yielded only a little over 500 bushels of grain; 2,624 acres of corn yielded only 2,256 bushels; vegetables lses, sores; ulcers, salt rheum, lever sores, 105 Commercial Street. tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles, or no pay required.

PRICES LOWER CD THE BEPUBLICAN TICKET. As The Gi.obk predicted it would, the Kepuinican convention gave the people an exceient ticket on Saturday. I litre was some objection to some of the men who have served before in their respective places, but not one objec ted to the qualifica tions or efficiency of these. A majority of the delegates thought best to continue the CD "faithful servants" another term, and the rjj. good men who were defeated acquiesced in their decision with a good grac e.

Splendid harmony prevailed throughout the delilier-ations and the best of feeling exists. At the election held for delegates to congress on the 9th of October, 1855, twenty votes were polled at Columbia, which was the only voting precinct in the county. At this election James II. Pheanis was elected a member of the Topeka constitutional convention. By act of the territorial legislature, our county, then called Breckinridge, was attached 1o Madison county for all "civil, criminal and military purposes." Columbia, which was laid off a mile and a half southeast of Emporia, was the county seat This is the only way to have a party.

We lielieve the canvass was conducted throughout in the most satisfactory man ner, and that the contest was a friendly one, HATS AND CAPS, Than Ever Before Known so that no hard feelings are left, to embit ter the campaign.

MISS A. E. DIXOX. what is now Lyon county. On the 17th of February, 1857, the second election by the teritorial legislature was held.

Authur I. Baker of Agnes City, (named in honor of Mrs. Baker) was elected probate judge; C. Colunibia, who lived on the Kaw reservation, and C. H.

Withington commissioners; Elisha Goddard, sheriff. He also lived on the Kaw reservation. The late Solomon G. Brown and George II, Reese, who then lived at Americus, were representatives in the legislature. At this session Breckinridge county was detached from Madison, and the county seat was fix-i at Agnes City.

It will thus be seen that what is now Lyon county was organ ized in 1855, but being organized under the hateful bogus statutes made by Missourians there was very little attention paid to the officers or the law. In the fall of 1857 the people generally participated in the local election. There were only five townships, Emporia, Kansas Center, in the north part of the county, Agnes City, Americus, Cory's (now Pike). The total vote was 255. The officers elected were: Probate Judge, A.

I. Baker; sheriff, Elisha Goddard; treasurer, N. S. Storrs; commissioners, H. W.

Fick and Wm. Grimsley; clerk and recorder, C. V. Eskridge; John Hammond was elected a constable. The voting was done vita voce as provided by the pro-slavery bogus statutes.

In 1858 a vote was taken on the county seat, and resulted in favor of Americus by 1 4 majority. In 1860 the county seat ques tion was again up and Emporia succeeded by 160 majority. There wras not much to brag on in this county in the way of towns up to 1860. The first building in Emporia was a small wooden structure on the northwest corner of Commercial and Sixth avenue. It was about 12-15 and was used at first as a boarding house, where fifteen or twenty men stayed.

It was afterwards used as church, school house and post office. The second was also a wooden structure built by the town company for a hotel on the site of the This lady was nominated for county superintendent of schools. She is the pres FREE.
