SOUTHERN KANSAS.
Wishes Of the People i'm Regard
to Trade.

Eo, IN. b.n.f, of our wholesale dealers
,r..a,, a, extract from a column and a
LID EDITORIAL ia the Wilson County free
D.. entitled "Ieavenworth. The editor
II ,hs Free Pre-s was in the city aboit
- 400 soliciting Advertisements, and
Lnovs whereof ne speaks. His article is
.s,und. sen.ible and full OF eKceiien' advice
10 our business men.
Speaking Of the efforts OF our merchai,'s
To secure the trade OF southern hahsa-' Tic
.says: Since We have puoiished heW'PaPer
:, K.nsas We have never been offered an adj
yertisement from Leavenworih, nor has
N.,,vepworth runner ever called on US or
-anght the aid of our paper. 1t Is qtite az
,.-ent with Kansas City. The experience oil
the Newspaper men OF this section Is similar
L. our own, and hence II II not strange 'na'
the pres of southern Kansas cherish an indii-
ference toward Leavenworth while en'eftaih'
ing kindly feeling. toward hansas ohy-
We confess frankly that while We I'VE 10
Kansas il il oar desire 10 see the c'ies oil
Kansas ouigrow those OF adjoining states,
and we have felt it duty gro.ing out oi
our relations to the state, as well as out OF
-,ur personal interest a. a tax payer, TO Go
what we could to promote the prosperity OF
Nansas, and aid TO enrich her cities WIN
vhis view We visited Leavenworth, and de-
SIRE now to record at least partial success
ia our mission. We have satisfied onrself
,ha, Leayen worth run and does uNderseu Kan
sas CITY in many articles Of merchandise,
and might recover the trade OF tins portion
of the state il she would make the attempt
in earnest and 10 the right direction.
IL il true that many Of the Jobbing mer-
chants treated our application Tor AN adver-
tisement with Indifference, and some with
sc,rn. some even saying they did not desire
the trade Of southern Kansas, iniimat'ng
ebat We were either all bansrnp's
or scoundreis, but that was by no
means the rule or the prevailing sentiment.
We found large majority anxions 10 open
trade with our desl-r-. but many of Them
.lon6tful of the expectancy OF newspaper adj
vsrtising to bring it about. Those who en-
ter heartily into our Prolect, ana who de-ire
IL to be known tina. they seek the trade "i
Southern Kansas, gave Va their cards, ~hich
will be found IN our paper OF tins week
They are not numerous for such city, bu,
re hone soon 10 fill the column, as We intend
returning to Laavenworth 70 renew our effort
10 direct the trade of Southern Kansas 10 our
own great city. We do this with the hrnl
belief that il will rasnl, in advantage to AL
parties, to our own people as well "a to Leav'
enxorth. There is no reason why Leaven.
worth should not I've able to manufacture and
q. sell goods a. cheap, If not cheaper, than
Kansas City, and we believe that this Is now
teing done, and hence advise cur merchants
10 give Leavenworth trial.
We scarcely know what additional article
the ladies can suspend from their waist
Iel;s. Fans, umbrellas, vinaigretes, hand
kerchief., and card-book= now dangle a
their sides when promenading. We dom
know that we can suggest an addition unier
s. he the acalps of few Of the lovers they
have slain in flirting, The dear thing
would, however, probably not long he con
tent without getting them into their bacf
hair
