The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1873-08-07
MORE CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

Last week we published host of
good words from our editorial breth-
rem of the state of Kansas, and were
entirely satisfied, but within the past
few days so many more good notices
have turned up that we are constrained
to give some of them a place. Will
oui fellow laborers accept our most
grateful thanks fer their kind words
of encouragement:
We neglected last week to do our
duty by the Wichita EAGLE. On tho
18th ult. it appeared as thirty-six COL
umn paper, nine long and wide columns
to each page. X. p. Murdoch late of
this city, has been taken in as partner.
1t was illustrated with five cuts of the
principal machinery used in that office
the Fairhaven, the Universal, and
the Liberty power presses, an Arson
Hardy paper, and Ruggles card cutter,
a Hoe ready proof press and lead cut
ter. Three power presses and four
other pieces Of improved machinery,
besides first class outfit il other re-
spects, make up good printing office,
and no mistake. There is no office in
Southwestern Kansas, except the NeUs,
to compare with that Of the Wichita
EAGLE, and that paper, as enlarged,
is certainly equalled by very few in
the entire west. 1t is a very handsome
sheet, ably edited, and ''live" news
paper in every respect. The two pro-
prietors, Messrs. NJ. NJ. and X. p. MUIR
dock, give ample evidence in each sue
cessive issue Of their journalistic abil-
lty, business tact, and unremitting
industry. The EAGLE is success, and
long may it soar as the pride and ex-
ponent of its prosperous young metro
polis.-EmpOrid NeWS.
The Wichita EAGLE comes to us
enlarged to nine columns, and fresh
with news from all parts of Southern
Kansas and the western states. NJ. NJ.
Murdoch. one of the ablest men in the
state, has served his country in the ca
pacity of legislator and state senator
for several years. A glance at the
EAGLE is sufficient to convince any
one that to search for its superior as a
local, miscellaneous and county paper
would be useless. We rejoice in its
prosperity and hope that its success
may continue.-Arkansas City 1rar.
The Wichita EAGLE has topped
again, this time coming down on US
with an extra feather in each of its
four quarters, and an additional
amount of brains, although this latter
adjunct was scarcely needed. If there
is any individual or enterprise in the
state that we wish to succeed that is
Marsh Murdoch and his EAGLE. He
has recently purchased power press
and large amount Of other new ma
terial, all of which he knows how to
use to the best advantage, as well as
the columns of his Marion
Record.
The Wichita EAGLE has perched up
on our table. Its large fine looking
bird. Its plumage is perfect. 1t finds
an alightment, too, in the best homes
of our land. May it soar aloft still
higher, and scatter the news of our
state and country broad cast over the
land.-Great Bend Progress.
And finally the Kansas Farmer, one
of the Oldest papers in the state, and
the leading agricultural paper in the
west, says:
The Wichita EAGLE; Murdoch Il
Bro, publishers and proprietors. We
are in receipt of a copy of the above,
recently enlarged and improved. 1t
fairly takes away a mans breath to
think of so new county as Sedgwick
a paper OF the dimensions
of the EAGLE. Thirty-six long, broad
columns are needed to satisfy the hum
ger of our Sedgwick county citizens,
for able editorials, newsy paragraphs,
and local items. Its mechanical con-
is not excelled in the coun-
try. We like to see enterprise, but
the EAGLE scores one above anything
vet. Success to it.
