If this strikes the eye Of the editor Of the Little
Globe, Of Atchison we would like to ask why he did
not give the Chief credit for those three items

palmed them of ~ his own.
It is not generally known that Doniphan has
tailor, and this 10 the reason, perhaps, why many go
to Atchison for their clothing who could do just
well at home. Mr.. Chris kuehl father of Mr.. Ernst
Kuehl our former school teacher. is an excellent
tailor, and We recommend all needing clothing to
try him. lie is especially recommended by Messrs,
Adam Bremen, Angel, and Chas. kuchs. who have
given him trial. and are satisfied.
Last Menday evening, Oct 1th was the sixteenth
birthday of Miss Nellie Franklin, and the event

1t b reported that that was splendid dance at
Mr.. Anderson's Palermo, of which gave
notice last week. A large crowd present, and
they danced till broad daylight, and set
fine supper, with oysters, served for the inner
man. and all had gay time.
DIR. Welsh called home FROM St. Joseph last
Friday account of the illness of his wife, who has
been sick for ten days The Doctor returned on
Monday.
Mr.. Anton Braun bought all of the Doniphan
property formerly owned by A. b. Symns. and has
sold the old pork house to Adam Bremen We believe
Mr.. Brenner intends to turn the old store into q
boarding house.
The young folks astonished Mr.. and Mira. John
Whitaker, last Sunday. by invading their residence,
about four miles north Of Doniphan. But it seems
they were ready for any emergency, and Hospitality
entertained the whole crowd, about twenty, to their
fullest satisfaction.
How is this for potatoes: We hear that Mr.. Eu-
gene Anderson, living two miles south of Palermo,
raised from potato, planted four years ago,
thousand bushels, this year. He received the seed
ling from Ireland, and it is called the Father of
Ireland Several hills of the potato averaged peek
each. He weighed four Of the largest, and they
aggregated Is pounds, while of the four kicked
the beam ut four and half pounds.
Adam Enderlien and family, of Seneca, returned
