Dr. S.E. NORTHINGTON, formerly of this village but now a resident of Emporia, Kansas, sends us five new subscribers and the cash to pay for them, and says he will probably send another batch shortly. Dr. NORTHINGTON is well known to the people of this county, having been raised within a few miles of Taylorsville and practiced his profession over the county several years. He is now a successful dentist at the enterprising city of Emporia, Kansas, and we understand he is rapidly making money. The Doctor is a shrewd business man and well able to make his way successfully in any community, and besides that he is a warm-hearted, genial gentleman. We extend him our warm regards and than him for his favor.
