No, we do not.

But we do say, 'Go in and win, and may the devi) take the hindmost." This Is a free country. Competition is the life of trade. But every one scans the horizon with his own field-glass, and for onr part we look upon printing as a business. If some one should come here and offer calico at two cents a yard, he would be very apt to dispose of the goods. If he busts, that is his business; yon don't have to support his orphans.

If Jones can print a better paper than Smith, and Sell it for the same money, then Jones will win. 1 Go where yon will, yon find that it is the longest pole that knocks the persimmons. The man who can climb the highest is the one that plucks the huckleberries. When a man wants merchandise he trades where he can get the best goods for the least money. Why should it be different in our business? The successful merchant sells goods at a close margin why because he fears opposition.

'Tis the same in our business must run our business so as not to fear opposition, and when it comes we must be ready to cope with it. Hiukle of the Globe, and the Moore boys of the News, are our very good friends, and we wish them a whole cart load of success. But business is business, and every tnb sits on Its own bottom.

All work While It is a grand scheme to organize a board of trade and have our various committees appointed for the purpose of corresponding with parties Intending to locate In the West, and to otherwise look after the best Interests of our city, there are other things of equal Importance. When people come among ns seeking a place to locate, the first thing they want to know, is whether we have school and church privileges? They drop Into onr houses of worship and If they find the seats all full they naturally make np their minds that here is at least a moral people.

Bat if they find vacant seats, they very naturally conclude that morals are at a very low ebb, and decide to look further. Now, it does not matter whether we believe or endorse the doctrines as taught, bnt it Is the duty of every- body to go to church. Yon will find there is no better method of advertising onr city tban by so doing. And what an easy matter It Is for every family In the town to make np their minds to do so. We have people enough In "onr city to fill a dozen houses of worship every Sabbath.

Pefler, of the Coffeyvllje Journal, has devoted considerable valuable space of the Journal to advertising Cherry vale since his pleasant visit a few days since. Much obliged, Jake, your kindness is only equalled by your high moral sentiment. We regret, however, that yon have not yet learned the valuable lesson taught, so long ago, by one if not your superior, certainly your equal in Judgment, that he who attempts to build up himself or his business, or his town, by trying to tear down others, or their interests, will eventually make an ignominious and bitter failure. So far as our trade center is concerned, it needs no nefarious bolstering and we do not think Cofleyville is desirous of belittling Cherry vale, but on the contrary has a warm feeling of friendship for it and rejoices in our prosperity, as we most certainly do in the prosperity of every town and city in Kansas, and especially those In our beloved county.

Mr. Jarvis, with bis UBoal exactness, struck an immense vein of water in short order. He had gone down about 16 feet when a tremendous flow of water necessitated an immediate exit to higher ground. The water ran in at the rate of one foot per minute for ten minutes and then ceased at least. It rose no higher, but the supply has been inexhaustable.

Our readers will bear in mind that last November was the driest time of the driest season Southern Kansas has had for years, and under such circumstances, this ought to be abundant evidence of the ample supply of water In this country.

The jury in the case of the State vs. Ray, of Elk City, charged with the murder of young Swearenger, returned a verdict of "not guilty." This case has attracted agreatdealof attention, particularly have the people in and around Elk City been anxious to know what the result of the trial would be. Mr. Ray has many friends in the neighborhood where he resides, as was evidenced by the fact that he was elected to an office, by an overwhelming majority, immedi ately after the shooting of Swearenger, and while he was yet in arrest.

We believe the er- diet of the jury gives general satisfaction. Re porter.
