DON'T MISS THIS.

AS much for the sake Of the
buver as for the benefit Of the
seller, the Reporter wishes to
suggest again that before any
of it's readers send an order to
Sears Roebuck & Co., Montgom
erv, Ward & Co., or any OF the
other mail order houses tor
goods of any sort that may be
bought in this country, they
first consult their local dealers
for prices and examine the
goods he has in stock. No one
but merchants themselves
knows how frequently they are
called upon to contribute to the
various local charities and other
undertakings, or how much OF
a drain these calls upon their
benevolence have become. But
the Reporter knows that they
are frequent enough and large
enough to entitle the local mer-
chant to a great degree of con
sideration from the community.
All these things are in addition
to the merchants legitimate esG.
penses. If poor woman's COW
dies, the merchant is called up
on; if lightning kills a poor

asked to contributes; if a barn is
burned, the merchant helps re-
build it, and the calls of the
churches regular and insistent.
Too frequent the recipients OF

EIGHT YEARS OLD.

With this issue Vol. VII. No.
50, The Canyon City News, as
the lawful successor of The
Slayer, completes its eighth
year as a recorder Of events on
the plains. It's proof of occu-
pancy reading back to the spring
of '96, covers a period of time in
which is embraced the history
of several newspapers that
"once lived" within its sphere
of action. What is now the
Canyon City News was then
"The stage" and included
among those papers which once
figured as its rivals are to be
found "The Battle ship" and
"The Head -Light''--but all of
them are gone now, leaving the
News. as lawful issue OF "The
Slayer, in sole possession OF
the field. If great names speak
OF high resolves, and they gen
orally do, what can be said of
The Battle-ship" and "The
Head Light that "did live and
of THE Slayer" that was and is
now? Surely, they are heroic
names, all Of them; names al
mast without exception linked
in memory with great deeds and
speaking of tumultous times;
periods in which the palms of
victory were worn, and periods
when reverseS were borne with
fOrtitude and in which the cross
es OF lite were endured. Such
is pioneer life generally and
perhaps, no class of people feel
its privations more keenly or do
more toward Strengthening out
its difficulties and polishing its
roughness, than do those who
start and keep gong what some
folks contemporary cali "the
little sheets" OF the west.
That the crew of "The Battle.
Ship" stood we'll to its guns
goes without questions; and, that
the guiding genius of "The
Head Light never run out OF
oil, as did the foolish virgins,
seems also to be a settled tact.
Of "The Stayer's" propelling
force, the News can truthfully
SPEAK from the records, and say,
that it's presiding genius, the
bralny and versatile Mrs. Nor
ran. worked we'll and faithfully
for Canyon City and the interests
of Randall county, and that too
amidst difficulties under which
the great majority Of newspaper
men would have speedily sue
cumbed.
Allured by the glittering pos
sibilities of broader fields and a
more adequate compensation tor
her gifted pen, Mrs. Morgan
turned over to the present man
agement, "The Slayer for
seven years her care and pride,
and the old craft, trimmed up in
few particulars by its present
owner, was re-christened Can
yon City News"
Thus, it is, that the Canyon
City News, by chain of title
valid in law, can justly claim to
have reached its eighth birth
day.
During the year just past the
News has tried to fulfil its
promises-to give its patrons a
good local newspaper, devoted
to the best interests of both
town and county-and its future
is planned along the same lines.
