The Border Sentinel from Pleasanton, Kansas • 3

Prescott Depmt. OUR PLATFORM. The Border Sentinel is a seperate and distinct Newspaper from anj other journal in Linn county, and will occupy an entirely different field. We hare the material in our head and the files of our old Sentinel, to give to our readers as nearly an accurate history as any other authentic historian that has written up Linn county in the past thirty-eight years. Our matter will be interspersed with true tales that have lain dormant for not lesa than twenty-seven years, the revival of which will canse the reader to turn back in his life and make him feel that he is again enjoying the life of the pioneer, in historic old Linn.

In Politics, our paper will be heard from and it is our intention that it shall be listened to, to some extent. It will be ultra radical in its views and will do its part in assisting to crush out the inate meanness and cussedness in all parties, regardless of our affiliation with any particular party. The Border Sentinel is a strictly Re-publiean Newspaper, but not of the kind that will call a boodler a good honest fellow, when at the same time it knows that lie is whip-poor-willing to catch votes and get his dishonest paw in the peoples crib. This is not a Pie Organ. We can no better express our feelings than will the following poem, by Sir William Jones, entitled The Glory of the State What constitutes a state Not high raised battlements or labored mound, Thick wall or moated gate Not cities proud with spire and turret crowned Not bays and broad-armed ports; Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride Not starred and spangled courts, Where low browed baseness wafts perfume to pride No; men, high-minded men, With power as far above dull brutes endued In forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude Men who their duties know.

The Frisco is cleverly manned along its entire line, courtesies to the traveling public, seemingly, its first consideration, with all of its employes. No point along its extensive thoroughfare has been more handsomely treated than Pleasanton, in giving to it a gentleman, in the person of Charlie L. Roberts, who, with his positive, easy and social manner of transacting the companys business, has endeared him to those who transact business with him. Pleasanton is a very important point along this grand outlet and inlet, and the fact is patent that Mr. Roberts should have able assistance, especially in the supernumerary and freight department of the work.

Although his duties are arduous, he performs them well, and with that cheerfulness that bespeaks for him a worthy servant for his employers. We know that Mr. Roberts is amply fitted for higher circles in the routine of railroad work, of much larger pretensions than our city affords, and the management of the Frisco are entitled to congratulation for furnishing us with an agent who is using every endeavor to satisfy the roads many patrons. La Cygne Journal, June 27 We notice that our old friend. Col.

Nat Barter We assassinated Ed. R. Smith, and buried him so deep that we had no idea that he would ever resurrect himself, more than 28 years ago, for dubbing us Colonel, but he, like Bancos ghost, is je bobbinround and as full of hades as in the days that are gone. So, Bruce, 1 careful, or we will fill your stomach so full of Humphreys homeopathic pellets that you will feel compelled to go to a watering place to drench yourself out. Nat, is to enter the newspaper business again.

He has bought the Prescott Sentinel. Col. Barters case illustrates the life that has been faithfully spent in the printing business. He cant quit. Although age is creeping over the old gentleman, he cant quit the print-shop.

And say it is a nice place. The smell of the material, the countenance of an upper case, the presses, they are all friends to a man who has had much experience. He may be turned down by his friends in the flesh he may receive abuse from those who owe him their friendship, but when he seeks the solitude of his shop these inanimate friends cheer him on. An evening in a country printshop, conversing with an old-time country print, with cob pipes and plenty of tobacco, beats a full-dress party all to death. Bruce has got things down about as they are.

The old press, how we love it. When we open our office door, at 6 a. m. it greets us with a smile and says to us ready for duty. When we wet its blanket, It offers us more efficient work, to repay ua.

We lay our form on its bed and it carries the burden without a murmur. Why then, should we not love it. The types, with their pleasing and familiar faces, remarks to us I will preach you a sermon, tell you a story, relate a poem, crack a joke, speak of a wedding and its happy nuptials, or give to the world the words of condolence as our dear ones depart from this life. Love the old print-shop. Why not Our boyhood days were spent in it, and since the year 53, we have been one of it, and it has been one of ua.

God bless the old types and presses, we expect to stay our alotted time on earth with them, and a pleasing epitaph to our memory would be He loved bis types he loved his presses he loved all their associations he was a printer and journalist who strived to do bis whole duty, and to do it well Sanford Neves will spend Sunday with home folks and friends, of whom, he has many.
