The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1868-02-21
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

We are not in the habit Of copying hattering
notices Of our paper, but we feel that our read
ers will excuse us for giving few Of the good
opinions which our brethren of the press are
expressing over our late improvement-the
new dress. Our pleasant relations with the
press OF this State has formed one of the most
pleasing and desirable features of our editorial
life, and we often wonder how we could get
along without the daily and weekly visits of
our Kansas exchanges.
The Emporia News comes to us in a new
dress, presenting very neat and elegant typo
graphical appearance. THE NEWS is now in
Its eleventh year, its first number having been
issued only few weeks previous to that of The
Champion. Mr.. JACOB SToTLER, its editor,
reylyes some pleasant "reminiscences connected
with the ttarting of his paper, the difficulties
encountered in its publication, labor bestowed
upon 1t, and its ultimate success and prosperi-
ty. The first number of THE NEWS was print
ed in the unfinished shell of hotel, when En-
porla was village containing only three par
tally completed houses. The town is now one
OF me most hourishing places in the interior,
and promises to be a largeand populous city. Its
growth has been as rapidas its thrift has been I'm
interrupted, and to the influence of THE NEWS
this quick development and substantial pros
perlty Il, more than TO any other cause, attr1b-
utable. TIE NEWS was always live paper,
ably edited, judiciously managed, constant and
ardent in advocating every measure that prom
lsed advantage to Emporia and benefit to the
interests of the Neosho Valley, and its useful
ness and efficiency cannot be overestimated by
the people Of that town and country.
We are glad to notice the evidence of the
fact that its services and influence are appreci-
ated, as exhibited in its typographical i'm
provement. We hope that prosperity will con-
time to attend il, as we are sure it will de-
serve all that falls to its lot.-Atchtson Cham

THE EMPoRIA NEWS makes its appearance
the present week in an entirely new dress, ma
king 1t, as It's enterprisinS proprietor says, ga
incest looking Kansas
any one is qualified to get up an interesting
State paper 1t is Jacob Stotler. Commencing
the publication of THE NEWS eleven years ago,
when Kansas was but little better than will
derness, he has sustained 1t through all dis
oouragements and difficulties, welding a vast
influence for good in the building up of our
State. No State eXcange is moro warmly well
| CRIME than THE NEWS. Some sound sugges-
ton, or bit of home news, or sensible advice,
can always be found in its columns. We hope
| its prosperity may continue, though not to such
an extent as to enable Jake to retire from the
| newspaper business, to live OH the interest of
his money, which there is some danger of at
lpresent.-Ldtrfence Tribune.
Not much, brother Speer. We have to
| ''scratch graycl'' to make ends meet, and there
is no danger of cur retiring on account Of too
much money. - S. S.t
We have neglected to notice an evidence of
| prosperity on the part of our valuable coter-
! porary, The EMPORIA NEWS, in the shape of
| a complete new typographical outfit We are
glad to see friend Jacob on the high road to af-
| fiuenence, and congratulate him on having one
| of the best looking well one of the abiest
papers in the State.-Lear. ConSerratire. q.
| The men who furnish us paper and our print
ers will eXclaim chow are you affiuence," on
reading the above. The new typographical
outfit come mostly from means outside the
printing business. But we are just as much
obliged to the Conservative for its kind no
notice. .t4-sss.-. r~.
