Johnis one of those simbling headed people who part their names in the middle. Such | people have never been accused of | having much sense, that we know of, and this remark of E. John’s | fully sustains our opinion of such shallow-pated muldoons as he is. Jasper county papers are quarrei- ling sightly among themselves ov Democratic aspirants for Congre ional honors in the Sixth district.— The Joplin /Zerald is for ex-Gov. Pheips first, and Wm. H. Phelps: second ; while the Carthage Patriot is equally pronounced in favor of one | R. H. Rose, a gentleman, who his ' friends allege, does not stoop to so- i licit office, and hence is unknown to fame. What we Democrats up here in Bates are thinking about most se- riously now in connection with this matter, is the selection of aman with whom we can win. We arc always expected to furnish a large majority and if we haven’t the power to nomi- nate our man, we have the right to demand that no foolishness be ex- ercised in the selection of somebody else. i j 4 | being affected detrimentally by our | als. | he returns from the east he will be couraged, and why, we ask, should there be anyjealousy when interests, vital and common to both cities, are foolish conduct. Will the press at the Hill encourage a reciprocation of this feeling? We are informed that a petition from Hudson township will be pre- sented to the county court at its sit- ting this week, praying that a re- ward ot $100 be offered for the can- ! ation of a donation of said property i to him as the inducement, which proposition that had been made to | Mr. Walton, to change his purpose | of building his Opera House on the Southwest corner of the square and | erect the same on the Wolfe prop- | erty on North Main St. in consider- 1s valued at $3.000. Everybody inter- | ested in the locality of the Opera House site looked blue and | the situation appeared exceedingly gloomy for the Southwest corner’s ture or arrest of one Al Moore, who was the leader of the gang of thieves lately broken up in that township. The Honorable court could risk that amount of money in no more praise- whothy direction than in bringing a dangerous criminal to justice. The protection of life and property de- mand that our authorities spare no reasonable effort and expense in such matters. We don’t desire to get into a con- troversv with the Rich Hill Review, but since it appears so egotistically anxious to teach us something about ‘‘progression,’’ perhaps we might be pardoned for enquiring, why the numerous very ambiguous refferences to the proposed new Republican paper at Butler, and the Crisp-Ma- hone movement in Missouri, that are weekly appearing among its editori- ————<——S Se We were misinformed, so says the Review, in our statement afew days since that mining operations had Only ‘stripping’? has been stopped and been suspended at Rich Hill. not minin our in- e Patriot is formation that the Pierce City Daily Record has breathed its last after a | painful existence of a month or two.

Dr. Lansdown will commence the erection of the new Olive hotel as soon as the weather will permit. Well, we hope the weather will per- mit from now until the day of its completion. That’s our ticket, Dr. Shake, shake with us. Rev. Thomas Marshall of St. Louis preached upon the street again Fri- day afternoon from the text: ‘*Ye must be born again.’’ There was quite a large crowd to hear the elo- quent divine. His remarks were very forcible and well received. We heard quite number speak in the highest terms of the discourse.

To the vim of North Main gentle- men, great credit should be given or these rapid strides. It was their pluck that rendered Tuesday’s work neccessary, and we_ believe they should be gratified at the result. This turn of affairs lifts Butler into an arena from whence she can look with more assurance upon the com- | P ing of another railroad. When the Ft. Scott, St, Louis and Chicago | | Company come to know what has | taken place in Butler we trust they will become more impressed with the enterprise of our monied men whenever a case of real necessity arises. How Long would It take to count 2 Millions. Over two million volumes of the revis- cdedition ot the New Testament were sold on the first day of its issue.
