In former days, it was somewhat difficult to
tain who wrote items here; but when read the
Bulletin we sometimes wonder if there is any person
who does not contribute.
Our dramatic Club" has become subject of dis
cussion. Much controversy is developing from differ
in opinion in that relation The Association was
instituted with good intent and it is somewhat strange
that man of prominent eminence experience, and
able judgment, will publicly eonsign our citizens to
eternal condemnation, account of this innocent
amusement. BY doing he will gain nobodys favor,
raise himself in any persons opinion nor accom-
plish any desired end.
From certain jottings" issued in another paper, not
more than fifty years ago, people at distance might
be induced to believe that love, eourtshp and mar
rage are the principal events of the day at Donphan
However, such is not the case, and people whose
ideas are concentrated in this all absorbing subject
and who desire to execute motive would be more
successful if they would avoid public display OF
sentiment. Our vicinity now has more married PEG
pie than prosperity smiles upon.
We have read numerous insinuatons thrown upon
the loafers of Doniphan. Loafers not numerous,
nor labor abundant, here, and think that any
writer would confer greater favor by informing an
idle man where he get work, than by making re
marks about him, when he would work if any person
would employ him. We do not LOAF, nor advocate
llcncss; but we are an adversary to injustice.
The Chief. our standard paper, should be read in
every family. 1t is interesting to every person, and
find that no Democratic paper has any regard fol
the limits a Republicans patience.
