The Herald of last week puts in a plaintive appeal for more home advertisements, and admits that not half our business men are represented in its columns, and in the same issue throws out a slur at the style of makeup adopted by the Nkws, We detest this bickering and mmrrnlinnr amnw newspapers, and have never said oue word against, tho Herald except in reply to its attacks upon us and when we do have anything to sny, we have trie manliness to come out and say in plain English what and who we mean.

me ueraui is losing ground there must bo a reason for it. All urn ask is a fair and careful comparison oi ueuua two papers. Some of our worthy citizens are making a vigorous kick against the course adopted by the News in advocating public improvements for Geuda. As we stated in our first insuc, "The News is 6tritly a home paper, devoted to hom and home interests." We believe it to be for the interests of Geuda Spriusrs to have side walks and to have her natural advantages placed in the best possible light before strangers and capitalists who may be induced to invest their means among ns. True, for the present we do advertise the lack of these improvements, but Only that we may the sooner have them.

We have no apologies to offer and no regrets for our course. If we make enemies, then they are not enemies lo us, but to the best interests of Geuda Springs. If we lose for the present, we shall gain in the increased attractiveness and wealth of our town and can afford to bide our time, confident that our citizens will appreciate our endeavors aud stand by us. We have mapped out the course we believe to be riirht and shall continue to follow it. Our reward tho future prosperity of ucuaa springs.
