C. W. HIGGIN BOTHAM. LARGE FOR ITS SIZE. We are inclined to think that the ROSSVILLE TIMEs is about the largest six-column folio published i in the Sunflower State.

In' his Salutatory, dated September. 7th, 1888, the editor expressed the wish that the "shadow of the TastEs might never grow less," and it hasn't. Those who examine our paper to-day will find that the inside pages contain twelve columns of pure reading ratter, with no space devoted to advertising. They furnish a liberal instalment of a continued story, Talmaages sermon, and news items in great abundance. The first page conBains Broadbrim's letter, an original letter from the Orient, and some important and wholesome advortisements.

The last page is given up to home news and home announcements, almost exclusively. The chief reason why there is room for Broadprim and a long Eastern lettea on the first page is that a great many uncanny advertisements have been systematically ruled out of the TIMES. These uncanny advertisements are, for the most part, offered by men who wish to circumvent the U. S. lottery laws, and by physicians who desire to publish flaunting and unseemly announcements.

Not long ago we received a letter from one of the gentlemen last named, in which he inclosed "copy" for all advertisement and made inquiries in regard to the cost of publishing it. In reply we informed him that his ad. was of the kind we did not care to publish. Soon after, while riding in the Daisy train, a gentleman who talked glibly seated himself by our side, started a conversation, and soon discovered that he was talking with a Rossville man. The discovery led him to say: "You live at Rossville, do you? What sort of a man is that editor of yours, anyhow? sent him all advertisement a short time ago and he refused to insert it.

He, with just one exception, is the only newspaper man who ever objected to my announcement." In reply we told him his chance to quiz the man he inquired about was a good one, as he had him in juxtaposition. Then followed a short talk about the which did not result in a bargain, as the doctor refused to remove the objectionable part of the matter. The case cited above is ouly one in many in which undesirable ads, have been ruled out of the TIMEs. Not long ago we went to Kansas City to buy some type and collect an adyertising bill. The Co.

from whom we had to collect does business in the Rialto Building, on 9th and Grand Ave. On reaching the Building we examined the windows, row after row, and tier after tier, expecting to lind one on which was written the name of the Co. we were looking for. But 10. The great majority of them bore the announcement of some doctor, and it began to look as if Rialto Buiding was a good place in which to lay up for general repairs, but a poor one in which to collect advertising accounts.

At length, the elevator boy dropped us into the cellar, where we found the ad. received the money due us, and said "No" to a long and undesirable announcement. In this way, time after time, very many ads. of various kinds have been rejected, whereby has been reserved for Broadspace brim, and communications from Cairo, Corsica, Smyrna, etc. For the letters from the Orient we indebted to the proprietor of the are Kansas Agriculturist Publishing who expects to publish them in House, form soon.

Constant vigilance is needed in order to keep up a complete stock of in ordering goods forehandedly, and vigilance in discriminating against unreliable goods. Bv keeping this fact in mind and acting upon it, C.

W. Higginbotham is able to-day, and on other days, to call attention to his complete stock of groceries, At their primary, held last Saturday 1 afternoon, in the City Building, the People's Party elected the following delegates and alternates, ready for the delegate convention to be held in the Court house, Topeka, June 2, at 10 o'clock A.

Heslet, A. B. Jamieson. 'The social given. by the Society of Christian Endeavor last Saturday night was a very succes-ful one.

It passed off in a real pleasant manner and netted quite as much as it promot ers expected it to. The gross receipts were $22:40 and the expenses about $5.00, leaving in the hands of the treas. urer between 17 and 18 dollars. Th's amount, together: with a few dollars from another source, will be employed, immediately, in purchasing Christian Endeavor hymn books, 80 that Endeavorers and those who meet with them may hive an opportunity to join heartily in a very important part of public worship--that of singing sacred song.

THE MORGAN FAMILY will sing in Rossville Saturday evening June 2, in the Presbyterian church. On Saturday of last week the people of Rossville and vicinity spent another pleasant evening with Mrs. MeCoy's music class and the Rossville Mandolin Club. Owing to the absence of Mrs. I.

B. Alter and Miss Emma Miller, who were unable to be present, two of the numbers had to be omitted, but a good programme was presented, and the audience was nicely entertained, Much musical skill was developed by the various members of the class, who are turning to good account the advantages they enjoy under Mrs. McCoy'y efficient training. The Township 8. 8.

Convention of last Sunday was a successful one. The weather favored a large gathering and the people filled the Presbyterian church, morning and afternoon. A renewed interest in these semi-annual conventions was manifested, and vigorous meeting in November was foreshadowed. 'The plan of putting the men and women of our township in barness and making them the lead and the wheel horses in the convention team is a good one. It is part of the nature of the human animal to grow listless about matiers in which his or her own thoughts and activities are not thoroughly enlisted.

We have sutlicient talent in Rossville to maintain a first-class convention, and it is a good idea to trot it out. The choruses by the different Sunday schools formed an interesting part of last Sunday's programme. Children and adults who accustom themselves to singing sacred song naturally clarify their thoughts and purify their hearts, even if they don't really aim to do so. Remember the excursion to Fort Riley on Decoration Day. It will cost you only $1.50.
