We are informed that Mr. Chris- topher has the refusal of the renting of a fifty foot rocm in the Walton block when completed. Hurrah for Christopher. There was an old-fashioned tun- making dance at Mr. Allen Cassity’s on last Saturday night. It was given as a blow-out to the old year and a welcome to the new. Ed. Vance left the city for How- ard on Saturday, and the last we heard of him was that he was stuck in a mud hole west of Rich Hill. Put your sholder to the wheel, Col., and prize out. There was a two horse wagon load ot rabbits brought to the city on Sat- urday last by a Kansas man. They didn’t go off well in Butler.

We intend to send him one empty wine bottle that come ull, with several others, sent to us, for aChristmas eye-opener, just to let him have a smell of it. What then will become of him, nobody but a prophet can tell.

The pastors of the dif- ferent churches Butler have ar- ranged for union services each eve- in ning during the present week. This evening at the Christian church. All are cordially invited. is a time long to be remembered by a large crowd of young people who assembled at the residence of Mr. Allen Cassit The supper was one of the principal | features, heartily enjoyed by all and! one which the hostess might well be proud ot. The supper was spent in a general good time, and atter watch ing the old year outand the New Year in, we said good night to our host and all teeling as though they had spent a jolly good time and returned to their respective homes. _ ‘A LADY ot our acquaintance has been in quite teeble health for many years — with some complaint peculiar to the sex — became emaciated —lost her appetite— was melancholy — sleepless—cross and tretful.

Uncle Nep McFarland unfolded \ his budget of news he gathered on Sunday last from the ladies, to us this morning. The items are spicy and of great variety. Uncle Nep says the ladies treated him kindly, for which the local teels very thank- ful on Uncle Nep’s account.

This is kind in Bob. The only mishap which occurred on yesterday was the running away of the team driven by Lawyer Rose I and Till Smith in their New Year’s visiting tour. The latter was thrown from the buggy and seven dollars worth of unique visiting cards were knocked into pie. No bones broken. The question is, (without being in- quisitive) who kept wine on yester- day for the boys? The tollowing young gentlemen of | Butler were among those who called to enjoy the smiles and partake of the hospitality of those ladies who had announced that they would be pre- pared to receive callers on yesterday to-wit: Mr. E. C. Park, Dr. D. D. Wood and W. E. Pyle made the rounds in a turn-out that could not be excelled by any in a metropolitan The carriage was stylish and the team one that can e their mile in 2:40. Behind another team ot r. beauty and seated in a carri- age of exquisite workmanship could be seen the manly forms of C. F. Burns, E. K. Carnes, Nick Mastick and C. Parker. In a third whirl- ing along at a rapid rate of speed come thundering Mr. Joe Meyers and H. Levy, behind a handsome pair ot horses. Next came Mr. | Rose and Till Smith in a fancy rig with taces as bright as an clectric light lamps tollowed by T. J. Smith and Sim Fray held the strings over a spanking nice pair of i horses. The gentlemen were enter- tained in a most royal manner by the ladies. Mrs. Baily, though not keeping open house, entertained E. C. Park, Dr. D. D. Wood and W. E. Pyle handsomely, and thus ended | the New Year's calls in Butler. N.
