To some the sight of a funeral proces- ston revives sad reminiscences. The first ot the new year is rapid- ly approaching and we are still de sirous of collecting our dues on back subseription to the Times.

He was only 26 years old and was regarded as a | j young man of exemplary habits and good business attainments.

But he grew worse instead ot better, and finally returned home to surrounded hy Satur- - lie down and die | friends and kindred. Butler. MO Hard indeed is the life of the con- sumptive. Harder still is the death. When once its clinching fangs are fastened in the human system none but the most resolute and determin- ed combat successfully against it for a longer lease on lite. The tenacity with which our young friend fought the enemy was truly great, but after all it was insufficient. Itis only another death. Only another new-made grave. Only another mortal added to the thou- sands that sleep in yonder cemetery Only another life gone out in the early worn of its existence. Only another immortal soul summoned from the habitation here to follow the innumerable caravan across the dark river into the mystic beyond.

We teel honorably bounds do this at the earliest moment gy can. We provided, as we supposed, af the means to do this, and when were out there passed 4 resolution to do it. While it, was. our Pie pose when this was done, to go @ with the railroad, enterprise, ther were contingencies about what we would do—such as making it 4 ot the Emporia line or 8g else. We neverauthonized a dollar tobe expended beyond Walnut, ant did not even know that it was being. done. So successful was Nicholsig the deceptions practiced upon w that we did not know that our mop ey was being so used. Then on ot all this Mr. Nichols did. not put a dollar, when he said he hed put in $30,000, but he took quite a large sum besides. All this came like 4 clap ot thunder out of a clearaky. We are slowly finding out ow situation, and we inturd to build th seven miles road, no matter what else happens. At least this is my feeling, and my associates agres with me, as I understand, and we expect arrangments to be cor whereby the line to Ft. Scott Emporia, one or both, will also built. Now I have frankly answered your questions, as I have asked e ery one else, and as I believe the sult will show. Yours truly, Cuas. Fosten.
