We acknowledge the receipt of six potatoes which weigh seven pounds from Mr. Howard. The potatoes are known as the early Obio. Robert Harris has raised the largest Irish potato, and is so far the champion, in Webster county. The rotato weighs twenty-five ounces and is of the spceies known as the Early Ohio. Hon. C. G. Dorsey, the receiver of the Red Cloud National bank is here and has commenced an investigation of the bank's affairs. There is a probability, so it is said, that the debtors of that concern will be apt to lose on their depoits. If this is true it will be quite a hardship to these people who have been years in accumulating their little earnings. There IS no doubt now, but what the First National bank will soon be opened with a new directory and a new line of stock, provided everything goes all right. The bank is in fairly good shape and with the aid of the wealthy eastern stock holders, of which there is quite a number the bank can easily be placed on a better footing than any institution in the valley. We hope there will be no insurmountable obstacle in the way of its reorganization.
