Introductory.


In assuming the duties pertaining TO this de-
partment Os ruE NEWS, We have but few
words TO say by way OF introduction. We are
aware that this paper has obtained a ereditabIe
reputation ~ u local paper. Our predecessor
was long resident Of the town, acquainted
with Its people, aud familiar with its Interests;
consequently, being also well qualified rs lo-
cal editor was enabled 10 render full and mi
mute report Of the events, business and pros
meets Of the town as developed week after
week. And 10 this department Of the paper
Is attributed not only its large subscription
list but its greatest Influence In attracting I'M
migration to, and the rapid development Of,
Southern Kansas. With such realizing sense
OF the importance that attaches 20 the position,
we wish TO saw that we will labor with all dill
igence 20 sustain the reputation Of the paperin
this regard. And not only this, we Will earn
estly endeayor TO learn the wants Of our peo-
pie. 20 become familiar with the business inter-
ests Of the town, and all that m ay be necessary
10 advance the Interests OF The people, the
town and country. To this end, we are n
newcomer, we desire to become personally ac-
quainted with our citizens, and to secure as far
possible their cooperation. Lend US your
aid TO perform our work, and we will lend you
our best efforts TO promote your interests. We
shall not attempt to be very funny, nor spend
much time in looking through Webster's Die
tiouary for unfamiliar wordswith the view Of
acquiring reputation for originality; nor yet
TO lose sight Of important facts, which would
be Of interst to our readers, In searching VOL
umes Of conveniently arranged" poetical
quotations for some spicy, shArp-set or howery
phrase or stanza TO express = commonplace OBJ
servatiOn. In short, wen bear in mind that,
in speaking Of matters about town, facts are Of
more importance to our readers than fanciss,
and that in collecting items for this depart
ment the active use Of our legs will be great
er service than abe exercise Of our imagina-
ton.
