The services which have been in pro
church are increasing in interest, Many
are seeking light upon the great truths
SO faithfully urged by the pastor. The
Sabbath services were unusually interest
ing and were participated in by large
number of persons, who by earnest atten-
ton evinced an appreciation of the eff
forts put forth for good. Quite a
number were received into the church by
letter and profession, and thus the good
work goes on. We trust the interest will
increase and that many more will en-
brace the golden opportunity to seek for,
and obtain the pearl of great price.

Judgment is hiring teacher that on

Justice is their action toward GER

THE BOOM HAS STARTED.

Nc; outstanding the fact that eastern
papc; have labored vigorously to do our
fair & ,te all the damage possible, by Civ
, ing G, rrency to all rumors, relating to
drou.l and billiards, the inquiries still
continues to pour in from thousands of
people from the eastern and middle states,
who are interested in making western
move and securing a western home. The
leading land agency,L, E. McGarry & Co.
have received during the past ten days
correspondence from over 800 persons.
This correspondence is not confined to
any one state, but comes from the states
of New York, Iowa, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan. This firm O., E. McGarry &
Co. have always enjoyed an unimpeach-
able reputation; their method of opera
ton being to deal honestly and fairly by
one and all This year they have made
arrangements to do larger business
than ever They now have Mr.. c. l..
Dawson associated with them in their land
and real estate department. Mr.. Daw-
son is young man of several years ex-
perience in the land business which is
evinced by his success in the past year
his ability as a thorough and practica.
land man can not be questioned. as he
has consumated the largest deals made in
Southwestern Kansas during the year
1887, There will be number of eXcur-
sion parties brought to our county from
all parts of the east, by this firm and we
predict for them most successful year.
We can commend the firm of i. Z. Nc
Garry & Co. to all our friends patrons as
reliable men and rustlers in every repect.

WHY WE DO NOT SUCCEED.

We do not adopt our living expenses
to our circumstances. We go in debt
For great many things we could do
without. Our fathers began life at the
foot of the ladder; by strict economy
industry and management, they have
accumulated fortune sufficient to keep
them in comfort in their old age.
Father and mother, sons and daughters
all worked, yet it took the best part of
life time to accomplish the result.
Our young people get married: they
have nothing but good will, good health
and the world with its opportunities.
But they think they can begin where
their fathers left off. They forget that
they are beginning; they want as nice a
home to live in, as beautiful and rich
carpets in every room, as fine furniture
with an organ or expensive piano; they
must have at the beginning all the little
conveniences of house keeping, and
they must have finer and costlier wear
ing apparel than their parents ever
thought of wearing. Is it any wonder
that they fail, that they are burdened
with debts, that they can't pay their
interest or rents. They started wrong;
they lived beyond themselves, and
when family expenses increased from
the nature of things, they became hope
!essly involved. We say hopelessly, for
the reason that by this time they have
accustomed themselves to style of
living frem which it will be hard to
make a change. While their expenses
have increased, their income has not.
The men in actual service at the pre-
sent time in the armies and navies of
Europe is in excess of 1 900, 600, and
it undoubtedly requires the product of
one operative or peasant laborer to sus-
tain one soldier The present aggre-
gate annual direct war expenditure Of
the world is probably in excess of
81 900, 900, 600. We express this ex-
penditure in terms of money, but it
really means work performed; not that
abundance of useful and desirable
things may be increased: mot that hu-
man toll and suffering may be lightened,
but augmentation. David A Wells,
in Popular Science Monthly

CAN'T 1T BE DONE.

Many of the farmers of Ford and east
ern Gray county are not in a condition to
buy the necessary seed to put in such crops
as they are prepared to cultivate, and
many of them must have some assistance
in order to get any seed gram at all.
Unless they raise "A good crop this year
they cannot have the money to make
them valuable customers next year. They
are willing to make very generous ar
rangement for seed, and it does seem as
if some way could be arranged to supply
them Cannot united effort be made
by the merchants of Dodge City to supply
this pressing need. AT the risk of being
little previous, we suggest that a
meeting be called by our merchants to
see what they can do and then an invi-
tation extended to the farmers to show
what they need, and what proposition
they can make The prosperity of the
county demands that something1of this
kind be done at once. Let the farmers
have the seed they need to SOW as large
au acreage as they are prepared to cult
vate, and the crops of Ford county will be
more than quadrupled,
We would like to hear from our cor
respondents on this subject.

AN UNPARALLELED OFFER.

Although we have made the TINES the
leading paper of Ford county, we are
not satisfied. and propose to double our
present circulation before the close OF
1888. AS one means to this end, we haye
decided to make the following unparal-
led offer: The person sending us the
largest number of new subscribers to the
TINES, we will give one first class Chica-
go Cottage Organ, complete and perfect
in every respect. This will be no gift en-
terprise, but simple reward for the eff
fort made by the most successful canvass
err Names may be sent in any time,
whether few or many, and shonld be sent
In as soon as received. Send one dollar
with each name, and regular account
will be kept with each one who enters
into the contest The work can be done
at odd times and need not keep you from
your regular employment moment. Re
member, the TIMES is only one dollar a
year. and all subscriptions must be for
a full year. and paid for in advance. We
predict now that this handsome prize
will be secured by some bright young
lady, and that she will in due time make
some man the best wife in Ford county.
We ask everybody who likes the TINES
to help us, and we wish everyone who
wants a home paper one which stands
up for home and home people; filled with
home news, and not radical in politics, to
take the largest best and cheapest paper
in Ford county Try it and see how easy

such as are not able to purchase them
for themselves !? Can't this be done
for the entire county? Who will de-
wise the plan?
1t is sad to have to chromical the
misfortune of Mr.. E. NJ. Wilkerson, of
which we all feel a share. We refer
to the burning of his house and all his
household goods, clothing, provisions,
etc. So that not one of the family was
left with second garment of any de-
scription, beside what they had on at
the time. They were away from home
and returned only in time to see the
completion of the destructive fire.
But the neighbors met at the school
house on Monday evening, at which it
was resolved to build for him. 1t is
hoped that the friends will be able to
furnish the house free of cost to Mr..
w. or nearly so. The people are also
helping them in whatever direction they
can.
1t is good to live in a community
where all are willing to bear the mis-
fortunes of each. 1t seems strange
that some of the business firms where
he was regular customer, and had
spent hundreds of dollars refused to
help to the amount of one cent. Is
boycotting in order. Elk Tenderfoot.
