t. \. Sampson, agent for X. e. Bar
ker & Co., manufacturers of Fine Cut
Chewing Tobacco, Detroit, Michigan,
was in our city last Friday, perfecting
arrangements with the Colhapp Bro
theirs, of this city, fer handling their
Fine Cut, which arrangement was
made, and the Colhapp Brothers will
be able in few weeks to supply this
market with as choice an article in
this line as can be made. X. G. Bar
ker & Co. were established in 1913,
and have a reputation from ocean TO
ocean; they have made their Ameri-
can Eagle for upwards Of twenty
yers, and it is still making friends
wherever the weed is used. We would
advise our merchants not to purchase
until they can see a sample of these
goods, and prices, which will be but a
week or so.

If J. d. Calhoun means to be un-
derstoOd that Col. Furnas owns q dol
lars worth of st2eN in the ADvER-

so, and we will nail the lie. He
knows the insinuation is false. If he
does not, let him enquire of Jarvis S.
Church, Esq, whom We bought out,
and he will inform him. We are
proud to say the Col. is u friend of
the ADVERTISER and its editor.
What gentleman is a friend of the
editor of the Democrat?
Nebraska advertiser., 1872-08-15

Why is it? We very often hear
this question asked by persons while
speaking OF the Union Hotel, aud exz
pressing wonder at the immense
number of travellers and regular
boarders who stop there. We will
tell you. In the first place George
knows how to make every one feel at
home, and always has everything the
market affords on his table, and serv-
ed in the best style. Secondly, he
knows the benefit of advertising and
takes advantage of it.

the board don't feel able to fix the
well, our citizens should take the af-
