Wallace has made arrangements for locating in Sheridan, Nebraska and will move to that place next week. Frank Blades of Watson, left last week for Texas with the hope of benefitting his health which has been very bad for some time. We unintentionally omitted to mention the fact last week that James Lakes, the tinner, is the smiling father of a ten pound boy baby. Moore Wooley, who has been living near Tarkio, will leave this week for Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he will make his home in the future. The job of plastering the new Christian Church here will be finished this week, and we learn, that the church will be seated and finished immediately. Stephen Teague returned home last week from Colorado where he has been living for the last year. Steve says he likes Colorado, but old Atchison county is the best place after all. Sam and William King, two of Brownville's best boys, left last week for New Mexico. They were accompanied by their father, Mr Thomas King. We wish the boys success in their new home. Bills were printed at this office last week for the sale of the personal property of Wm Ahlers, deceased, at the late residence of deceased, in Dale township, on Tuesday, March 14th, by A.G.

His remains were taken to Kentucky for interment. The INDEPENDENT says that Fairfax had her first law suit on Monday of last week. We learn from the same source that Elder Samuel Lowe and family returned to Savannah, where they will reside in future, on last Tuesday. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mrs Charles Noblett, which occurred at her home in Polk township, last week. Mrs Noblett was the daughter of J.G. Burg Esq and was an estimable woman. The bereaved husband and children have the heartfelt sympathy of a large number of relatives and friends. Henry R. Walkup, of Fairfax, returned last week from an extended visit to the south and south west. He bargained for a section of land in Nucholls Co., Neb., during his absence, and will leave next week for that place where he will complete his purchase and make arrangements for starting a cattle ranche. We are glad to know that Mr W---doesn't intend to leave our county, but will place his son on the ranche, and will visit it occasionally. THE ATCHISON COUNTY MAIL, March 16, 1882 Schmidt, the barber, announces the arrival of a bouncing boy baby at his residence on Tuesday. Jesse Thompson sets up the cigars on the strength of the arrival of a ten pound boy baby at his house a few days ago. Judge Campbell forged the golden link, on last Monday, that united in matrimony Len. K. Belding and Miss Rosetta Woolsey, both of this county. Mrs S.L. Scott, of this city, was married a week or two ago, to Mr T.C. Welch, of Clarinda Iowa. The ceremony took place at the residence of A.B.McCreary Esq in Clarinda. W.E. Rice, the gentlemanly and efficient cashier of the Bank of Atchison County, has rented R. Gaede's residence and will commence housekeeping as soon as his wife arrives from Illinois. R. Gaede and family left on Wednesday of this week for Dodge City Kansas, where they will reside in future. The MAIL will reach them in their new home and keep them advised of the happenings here. We learn from the Holt county papers that Marion Williams, a wood chopper twenty-eight years old, met with a horrible death three or four miles south of Oregon in that county last week. It seems that he went to the timber to chop down a tree and was caught by it, and pinned against some cord-wood. He extricated himself after almost super-human efforts and the loss of nearly all of his clothing and a great part of his skin, and with a broken thigh he crawled sixty yards to the side of a small wood road, where his dead body was found the next morning. It is thought that the accident happened between three and four o'clock on Monday afternoon and that he died shortly before he was found at about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. The suffering that he must have endured during the long cold evening and night can neither be described or imagined. A man of the same name and same description, used to live near Linden in this county, and it is undoubtedly the same one who so terribly died in Holt county last week. Atchison County History - The History of Atchison County, to which we have already taken occasion to refer is now being written by the same gentleman who prepared the voluminous histories of Buchanan and of Clinton Counties to which the daily newspapers press of St Joseph, as well as the papers of Cameron and Plattsburg took occasion to refer in terms of unqualified approval. We are authorized to announce to our readers that the histories of Holt and Atchison counties will appear together in one handsomely bound Royal-octave volume of from 800 to 1000 pages. The projectors of this valuable work are the National Historical Company whose head-quarters are in St Joseph, Mo. Nishnebotna Notes - W.H.H.
