The only issue known to exist...

Item # 715512
August 29, 1889
KERENS ENTERPRISE, Texas, Aug. 29, 1889  An exceedingly rare newspaper, in fact this is the only issue recorded anywhere according to Gregory's "Union List of American Newspapers". It notes that Kerens only had one newspaper through at least 1936, and this was it. It also notes that just one institution had any issues, and it (Bancroft Library) had just one issue. It has since been deaccessioned and it is this one being offered.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, a few minor archival mends at margins. The layout is a bit odd as pages 1 and 4 are in 7 column format, while pages 2 and 3 have just 6 columns each resulting in very wide blank margins. Nice condition.
