The members of the Baptist Sun- day school have decided to have three Christmas trees and an arch extending from the two smaller ones over the larger one in the center. The exercises will consist of Scrip- tural recitations by the little folks, and music by the choir. We bespeak a pleasant time tor the Sunday school. The Rev.

Judge Brown says he saw the electric light at a distance of ten miles from the city as he came jn from the country Sunday night. Wondrous light that. Capt.

We think she ought to be satisfied with that boom for a while, and let the removal of the capital to that place drop for the present. It is said that a small anti-poke- | your-nose into other peoples business society is being organized in the city. Weare glad of it. Butler stands much in need of such an institution ut present. We met a committee of the society to-day smelling around. | | The following named gentlemen | were elected officers in the Butler | Lodge No. 254 of the A. F. and A. M., for the ensuing year: O.

Will the boom never stop? Now, he has gone and done it. | Who has? Why, Boss McFarland. | We entered the Times sanctum this morning found in| communication with the outside | world. Without our knowledge or) consent he had one of those blasted telephones run right slap dab into | the sanctum, and there we sat afraid | to chirp, for fear everybody in town | would know what we said or wrote. | We hope we may be consumed, if | if these new-fangled inventions ’aint | getting toothick in Butler to be! healthy. and ourselves eae | was Why can’t we have a central tele- phone office?

The english plum pud- ding will not spoil we hope. Mr. Hall, who resided near Archie died a few days ago. Mr. H. was an upright, honest man and his loss is severely felt in the com- munity in which he lived. There heat be a grand hop given at the Pylace hotel on the evening of the 23d. The affair will be a grand one, let everybody attend, remem- ber that Christmas comes but once a year. To-day the fighests, the Whittaker brothers are to be tried in the coun- try before squire Woolery tor beat- ing young Herrold. Ply the legal lash to them hotly Tom, and teach | them better behavior in the tuture. We have a greater number of titled gentlemen here in than anywhere else on the green earth. We have met two persons, | however, who have no titles, one an idiot, the other a blind nigger. That’s a fact. Our esteemed Probate Judge did the yoking up on yesterday, for Mr. Pogue and Miss Wilson. We are told that his honor did the job in the | most approved style, he tied the knot hard and fast and nothing but grim death or the sword of the law caa sever the happy couple. Two young gentlemen of this city called to see two certain young ladies in the country on last Sabbath evening. While the young gentle- men were in the parlor. despensing their courtisies to the young ladies, their horses were turned loose, and our toys had to foot it pack to the city. The old man may have done this who knows. Missouri | There was a manin the city on Monday that sports a mustach three teet in length. He has lived in the Rocky mountains for the past forty years, and never bad a razor on his face. His entire suit was of Buck- skin, elaborately ornamented with heads. He is a queer looking speci- men of humanity, We are very much afraid that the weather will be inclement during the holidays. This we would very much regret, as we always thought that fair weather becomes the holi- days more than any other season of the year. What does Mr. Vennor say about it? Let us hear from him on the subject. We understand that Rich Hill aspires to become the capital city of this great State, and is taking steps to accomplish that object. While we recognize that infant wonder as a very live thing, and likely to grow livelier, we must enter our protest against the removal of the capital from Jeff. City. We carnestly hopé tat our dele- gates to the Holden railroad con- vention will succeed in inducing the company to take in Butler. We have sent a delegatron composed of live men to present the claims of our city, and we confidently expect good results. We can’t afford to loose that important enterprise, and we must have it if it brakes some- thing. There were a large number of people in the city on yesterday, and our tradesman were made happy. The trade of Butter is increasing daily and we predict that ere long, the “business houses on the public square will be too few in number to supply the trade demanded, and that mercantile houses and shops of var- ious kinds will be established on ali of the principal streets in the city in the near tuture. This is not ‘idle speculation, but a reality. Butler has electric light and now proposes to have waterworks and street railways. We like to see our neighbors flourish, but we fear our southern neighbor is reaching out a little beyond her ability to maintain. Better go slow and grow solid, neighbor.—[Harrisonville = 7imes- Courier. Not a bit ot it sir. Bntier ix able to stand up under ail ber booms.
