The Kinsley, Kansas Graphic good
humoredly discourses on the work of
making a country newspaper: Edit
ing a country newspaper may be just
the thing, but we know by a large
majority that it isn't. In the first
place your wealth does not accumu-
late SO fast but that you can be your
own business manager. Not very
many country editors keep carriage,
and those that do have it with the
rest of their property in their wife's
name. When your paper comes out,
about one-half the people in your
town feel kindly towards you for the
position you took in some local mat
ter, and the other party won't speak
to you. The party that feels kindly
towards you may set up the cigars
and hope you are doing well, but the
other side won't even give you light.
About twice a month you have great
difficulty in explaining to man as
big again as you are that you meant
just the opposite Of what you said
about him. But an old editor can
always do this. Young editors some
times get licked, but old ones can
talk a bull dog out of countenance.
The experience and troubles of a
country editor are too big subject
for one issue Of country paper; but
that they have their share of torment,
while here on earth, and that they
will finally be crowned in glory, we
believe by large majority.

DEATH OF Miss ELLA FITcH.-Our
citizens were shocked on Tuesday
evening to learn of the death of Miss
Ella Fitch, which occurred about 5

entirely unlocked for, although she has
been in. delicate health for some time.
She was daughter of the late Capt.
E. z. Fitch, and Sister Of DR.. George
Fitch who died few years ago in
Washington from the same disease.

Our Job Office is at present over
crowded with work, and we have or
dcrs for at least three months ahead.
1t is matter ofsurprise to our friends
that we are able to turn out the guam
tity Of work we do, and with the
same force we do it, but with our i'm
proved facilities We are enabled to
contract for job of any magnitude.
Our prices are the lowest compatible
with decent work, and our work is
acknowledged TO be the best ever pro-
duced in this section. That point is
never questioned any more. Give us
a call, whether you want work or not,
and we will take pleasure in showing
you all about the cart preventative"

By OUR REPORTER.

Pres't Thompson preached to the
students on Sunday afternoon from
ii Timothy lis: "Thou therefore en-
dure hardness as good soldier of
Jesus Christ"
His illustrations were drawn from
the military life and the applications
made to the civil and religious strifes
and battles which every man must
fight for himself and alone; battles
which it requires more courage and
fortitude to fight than even to face
the cold steel in the rush and tumult
of the actual charge.
He described the qualifications of
successful general in a forcible
manner, () Sympathy with the
Cause, (2) knowledge of the Tactics,
(3) Courage. Christ, the captain of
our salvation, not only has these
qualifications in perfection, but many
others. He Is easily approached,
meek and forgiving, while many
great generals are harsh and unap-
proachable.
We know of no sermon that has
been preached that was so well re-
ceived and made a better impress
sion.

Ir is very strange that mail matter
cannot reach it's destination in this
county. Recently gentleman from
Clay District informed us that he did

and then he got five at one time.

some postmaster. We have deter

In some remarks made last week
by our Court Reporter in reference to
the Harris trial it was said that "The
theory of the defense was that the
Medical examination was imperfect"
This would seem to cast some refec-
tions upon the professional character
and standing of some of our best
physicians. In extenuation of our
reporter and in justice to the eminent
gentlemen Of the Medical profession
we desire to say that notwithstand.
ing what the theory was, the exami-
nation was as near perfect as our
most modern scientific medical ap-
pliances could make it, and the tes-
timony of the gentlemen, Drs. McLane
and Brock, was not shaken in the
slightest degree. Our attention was
called to the possible construction
that might be put upon the express
sion used and we make this explana-
tion as matter of simple justice to
all parties.

The annoying habit of whistling in
the halls and promenading back and
forth during recitation hours should
be broken up. Why don't the Presi-
dent or some of the Professors walk
out and usher these stragglers into
some room where they may be pre-
pairing a lesson instead of annoying
the recitations Of others ? If when
students are placed on their honor
they will abuse it and act dishonora-
bly,, it's certainly the duty of the
Faculty to correct them. This will
not lower their dignity in the eyes of
all orderly, dilligent students. Don't
be so conscientious on matters of i'm
portance while you are scrupulously
exact and even inquisitive on mat
tiers which are too small to effect Ell
ther good or evil.
