business never prospered:

and violence will disappear, for Conscience,
grown bolder, will speak and be obeyed.-

He was educated and graduated at

The Board of Trade of Fort
Scott pays the Monitor and Tribune
Doth dailies) 500 per month each
to aid in blooming the town."
When this bargain was made the
Monitor was enlarged to an eight
page paper. The Tribune was also
enlarged. In Hutchinson the eiti-
Gems subscribed SIS, 600 to make the
News a morning paper. In Newton
q number of men formed a stock
company and started the Republican
to boom the town, with a capital
of S25, 900. And here in Rich Hill
some ofour so-called progressively
citizens can't afford to take a daily
paper containing telegraphic dis
patches, with all the local news, at
10 cents a week, while others want
the carrier to go to the door, ring
the bell, walk iii and lay it on the
mantel shelf; and again a few re-
quire a boy to be sent around to
read it to the family. In the one
case the Kansas towns boom, in the
other the situation becomes stag
nant, the people largely cussine
each other because something is not
turned out to their benefit without
money and without price. GAS you

Since it devolves upon me, as
the chosen vessel, to present the re-

more as a reporter of the deeds of
others than as an actor, it is SO
little of this work that we our
selves have helped to do.
While our report will show that
much has been done by this band
of workers in the Lords vineyard,
we can not help thinking that more,
much more, could and should
have been done by this Society, and
we trust hat you will patiently
and proftably hear some sugges-
tons from us concerning the work
for another year.
But we shall first read a condens-
