Fire
Last week for the first time since its founding, the Courier failed to appear. Most of our readers are already cognizant of the reason, are already well acquainted with the details of the great conflagration which visited Lawrence last week and by which the Courier office, with all its contents was totally destroyed. We deem an apology for our non-appearance, (in consideration of the circumstances) hardly necessary. Had the fire but given us a week or ten days notice beforehand, as have done, or had promises which were made to us after our loss and which were only broken when too late for other arrangements to be made, been lived up to, we would have been prepared to issue on time and in regular form. As it is, we can only hope that no circumstances of any nature may ever again arise whereby the Courier will be compelled to discontinue publication, even for one number but it may ever brighten the Friday mornings with its presence, the representative paper of the students of the Kansas State University.
