Thos Cloudsley was a stationery aud
whose names were missed i'm the adj
vertisements, but these indicate that
Sslins was quite city, even in those
dsys-twenty-two years ago.
Local happenings then are now
interesting. The court house, Pacific
house and Presbyterian church were
then new and the JOURNAL boosted
Of them. Oscar SeitZ and Hamlin 4
Wooley were erecting new store
buildings. Eighteen business houses
and fifty d ceilings had been built
the previous season. The Ksw H.
dians had Just paid visit To town
and the JOURNAL spoke OF them in
rather uncomplimentary terms A
stringent game law was favored by
the paper to protect game from the
onsIsughts OF Mayor Martin, Mar
shall CIarkson and Doc NieKles A
female barber gave the city some
fame. An organized movement was
on foot to bridge Salt creek in O'ts-
wa county, the thoughtfulness Of the
ancients has ever been blest since
then-especially this year.
Perhaps the most remarkable event
that occurred was in the family Of
Mr.. Johnson, the SENIOR" IL IL
but just TO say that his pride over
the happy event has never been In
vain. The young lady In question IL
now one of the most useful, amiable

contemporaries now In Salins. Mr..
johnson speaks Of the event IN his
hsppiests vein as follows: johnson,
the senior Of this paper, became the
happy poses-or OF a female eight

eloquent and vehement Ia advocat-
ting the same. IL IL a success. The
father il a. well as could he expected
under the circumstances"
Salina has changed since then
Many have passed of the stage OF
action; may they rest In peace. Lit
tie did they dream that Salina would
be what IL now IL In 80 short
time. 1.-The Forest CITY," has taken
on new life with each succeeding
season, always coming out In the
end thereof ahead Of where IL started.
There IL no common stock" in the
of Salina, she IL thorough.
bred all the way through. All the
JOURNAL asks il to bear its part In
the activities Of the furture Of SalIna.
As We believe In the continued pros.
perity Of SsliDs and the county Of
Saline, and the state Of Kansas, so
do we believe that the JoRUNAL will
be successful in accomplishing 3
OF usefulness and honor.
