BUTLER, MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY EVE., MARCH, 8, 1882 IT’S A LITTLE QUEER. Ingratitude is a birth-right with some individuals, but it is not, there- | tore, anexclusive heritage. Corpo- rations and organizations are infested with the same thing, and even re- ligious denominations are heirs to such human weaknesses. When a publisher, with a gener- ous good will and cheerful heart, opens the columns of his paper to | us and not sufhciently imperative to | every manner of church items and | justify the Street Commissioner | Fysthermore both acts were com- | festivals, | proceeding by law to remove the | mitted on the 2d day of the month— *-puffing’’ for concerts, tairs and the like to the exclusion of other, perhaps, more valuable mat- ter, it is accepted with a sort of palaver over the publisher’s big neart etc. and considered as @ mat- ter of course The church has no money to pay for such notices. It is not expected. Hence no disap- pvintment or grievance arises on this score. But, occasionally, they have a dollar or so to spend for posters or programs for instance; and then they go straight way to a_neighbor- ing office, which hasn’t either the facilities or disposition to do even one-fourth the free advertising that the other has done, and get their work done and pay them the money. Not as much as a single compli- mentary finds its way into the office | where a daily publication has ‘blow- ed’ a benefit of some kind for a week previous. It such be Christian grati- tude, as it is acted by certain denominations, we’ll take but little in ours. These thoughts are not without application in Butler among a certain sect of religious people, and the committee on ‘printing’ for masque- rade balls. PRIMARIES. it will likely be some time yet be- fore the Democratic Central Com- mittee of this county will have oc- casion to meet to transact such nec- essary business as the approach of a campaign may require. But, in the time intervening, would it not be wise for the individual members of yhat committee to consider carefully the different systems of primaries, discuss the subject with the Demo- crats of their respective townships, in order that each might be fully conversant with the workings of all plans, and the opinions ot the peo- ple regarding the same. That the results of the primaries vf 1880 were satisfactory to the party, none, we presume, will question. Primaries were what the people wanted, and their production left peace and good will. To those who understood the system it worked well enough ; Lut there were some details about it that appeared complicated, and admits ot improvement. The good old-tashioned way ot holding primaries is to let the fleetest. horse have the money—the man getting the highest number of yotes have the office. Such a system can be com- prehended by every man inthe party, and as the results in either case will in nearly every instance be the same —as was demonstrated by the pri- maries of two years ago—then why not pursue the most simple method ? —_— THE APxIL ELECTION. The time for the election of our city officers to fill vacancies caused by expiration of term in some in- stances and resignation in others, is weeks off, and in that month the election must be held. What, Democrats, are we going do about it? If the party pro- poses running a straight ticket, which no doubt it will, would it not be best so be casting about for suitable men? There will be a Mayor, three Aldermen anda portion of the School Board to elect. It is not character- our suggestion is not well-timed. —— WILL DAKOTA STREET BE OPENED? For weeks and months the ques- "| tion of opening Dakotah street has i been up before the City Council for | actien. To-day there appears to be | | no more likelyhood of the street be- | | ing opened soon than there was six | | months ago. In behalf of the citizens interested, | we ask of the Council. why this | delay, why has so much dilladallying characterized your actions ? You have given half-way orders moved and the street thrown open; but those orders have been ambigu- obstacles. If the matter of moving Dr. Betz’s house has to go into the courts, let it go, the sooner the better, anything | save such childs play as we have | If you haven't got | been witnessing. the backbone to stand up to the rack, we would suggest the application of an Allcox’s Porus P THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK The improvement of live stock of mers and breeders should give close attention. They will caretully select their seed corn and wheat for grow- ing good crops, so.must they select good and pure bred animals for breed- ing purposes if they want to make | stock raising a profitable business. | Our best cattle, horses, sheep and | swine are produced by a careful se- | lection of animals having and com- ; bining those qualities which are ne- cessary for the result sought for.— | Other things have to be considered | as well as selection—treatment, feed and climate &c. To handle and breed stock successfully one must be educated to this business, and it will i take years of experience and even then there is much to be learned, as the market for ditterent kinds of stock changes. Stock here in the west re- | quire more protection from the winds i and weather than they usually get. | We cannot afford the expensive barns | like our wealthy eastern farmers, | consequently we will have to be con- tented with our straw thatched sheds. but our herds and flocks will be just as well contented and profitable if we give them close attention as many which have better protection. In choosing animals to breed we should be caretul to select those having these | three qualities, coastitution, quality and size and shape. Without consti- tution any animal is useless and most any breeder or farmer 1s able to judge | this, but quality is where our breeder shows the superiority of his ability over another; tor instance quality in | j short horn, is his hair, hide and hand- j ling; the hair should be fine, thick and abundant to stand the severe Republicans to be | | more numerous than all improved j weight of all kinds is something to which all far- ; Fanos, a Marinos or wool sheep strictly, and breeds in the west are increasing the fleeces in our common sheep. The improvement of swine is rapidly progressing in the west and most of our tarmers are familiar Think of this, you gentlemen who j with Berkshire and Poland-China } | breeds of hogs. To be a successful | | breeder ot live stock of any kind. one | i must use only pure bred stock and In othe vords to breed well, we must feed well. There is a singular coincidence , connected with the attempt upon /| Queen Victoria’s lite the other day. | The would-be assassin chose a rail- | road depot as the place, in broad day light too, and just as the Queen was getting in her carriage. The weapon | feed libe | | used was a revolver. | teau President Garfield, the | place selected was the Baltimore & shot alighted from his carriage and in broad day light also. was a revolver of the English | July 2d, March 2d. | . like other shrewd and | Polygamis' | bold men, will resort to any trick in | order to carry a point and strength- | en their position, against the moral iwar that is bemg waged against | them. The latest move on their | part, is the circulation of the story | that Brigham Young 1s not dead; | that he was simply put away for a | time, and that now, since his people are in trouble and being threatened by a war of extermination from. the | United States, the old man steps out | from his hiding place, resurected for instance, and will soon take com- mand of his Mormon hosts. Bright idea, indeed. Recent explorations in the valley ; of the Orinoco, a South American river, reveals the fact that the Guar- tribe of people that inhabit the delta of that river, take retuge in trees Wien the delta is inundated. They make a sort of house with the branches of the trees and clay and them the inundation These strange people in live in until subsides times of scarcit¢ live tor this clay, which is said to bea mix- ture of the oxide of iron and some other organic substances. The Guar- annos dispose of their dead by hang- ing them in hammocks in the tops ot trees. months oa —_————_—_— Wealth has been devided by a] living writer into two classes, mate- nal and non-material. The first ot these includes what usually goes un- der that head, but the second con- sists of those human energies, facul- ties and habits, physical, moral and mental which contripute to make men industrious and efficient. Man- uel skill, intelligence and Lonesty may be cailed the personal wealth of a country.
