Ifwe were a young lady, which} We ain’t, we wouldn’t allow any one fellow to monopolize our society. He might go with us four times hand going, and then if he didn’t talk business to us, we would give him the grand bounce. We are going to the Odd Fellows’ supper to-night, take in a bait of turkey, chat with the boys awhile, and then go to see the sights at Prof. Taylors entertainment, and then take glass of Kessler’s cider sweet to wash it all down, down, down. a We will bet our boots and socks too, that if Prof. Tayler will put his carcass up to be shot at, and place that Springfield rifleloaded as it was, into the hands ot either a Fed. or Confederate soldier, there would be adead wizzard in the city to put away, und don’t you forget that. Certain parties are in correspon- dence with a St. Louis man, asking the latter to come to Butler and es- tablish a good bath house, Turkish baths included, and the prospect is good to get the St. Louis man to come. A good bath house would do a good business in Butler. We would indulge ourself in that luxury. Mr. H. Allen has completed the Burdette Iron Bridge over Mormon Fork, and is now enroute for Hud- son township to complete another one across Panther Creek. This Bridge is also an Iron one. There is good sense in having substantial, durable structures across our streams. We were informed by postmaster Austin to-day (Friday) that he had just made out and forwarded to the Post Office Department at Washing- ton a requisition tor thirty-two thou- sand three cent stamps to supply the demands of the present quarter. Mr. Austin fears that that large number will prove insufficient. He must re- member that Butler’s booming. Sedalia Democrat:—Our geni and worthy brother of the press, Mr. Thad. M. Gardner, left yesterday for Southern Texas, where he goes in pursuit of health. expects to be occasionally enriched during his trip by contributions from his pen. It is well known to Mr. Gardner’s many friends that he spent last summer in Colorado, for the benefit of his health. His physicians now recommend a trial of Southern Texas. Advices Gare all sections of our own and surrounding counties are to the effect that the wheat crop pros§ pects were never better than at pres- ent, and while the acreage is not so large as that of the past year, still it 1s a gratifying thought that the pres- ent prospect affords grounds for the belief that although less in acres the yield will, if no accident should be- fall the crop, be much larger than the past year, which amply supphed the home demand and left a consid- erable surplus for market. If our anticipations are realized by the yield of the present growing crop, there will be a large surplus for market ot this important crop over and above that ot the home consumption.
