i ig | ‘ { : i 4 i i i a ; i i= LOCAL SNEWS The ‘TimeEs is just booming right it, and the children cry for it. Crockett as large as Butler. Now Crockett, | ain’t you ashamed of yourseli? The county court adjourned on/ yesterday evening, to meet again on the first Monday in next month. Carthage Patrzot: Bates county | is filling up rapidly withimmigrants, and land has advanced to $50 an} acre in some places. As yet Gov Crittenden is unde cided whether to convene the Legis- lature in extra session lo redistrict the State under the new apportion- ment biil. \ Messrs. Miller and Haverling have got the pottery in full blast and are making good neat ware. We want our people to patronize these gentlemen. They deserve it. The report is current on the street that Mr. J. L. Pace is a candidate before the primaries for the nomina- tion to represent Bates county in the lower branch of the State Legislature. A general system of telephones now connects the cities of Joplin, Carthage, Webb City, Short Creek and Carterville. Butler ought to have similar connection with West Butler. The county court retused to grant a license to Mr. Beatty, to sell wine and beer in west Butler. After a stuborn fight, the wine and_ beer ferces, surrendered to the anti-wine and beer people. Jacques Snyder, who was fined the other day in Squire Cannon’s court for obstructing the public high- way, has appealed to the circuit court. He wants to try his luck before Judge Gantt. We made a calculation last night, and the figures tell us, that there will be just one hundred and thirty-seven voters left 1m Bates county, taking eut the candidates. The man who ¢an get their yotes is the winning man, Ex-officio, Frank Trimble, has driven the county Surveyot out of his office, and Jim Simpscn gave that mosshack Democrat, Beb Catron, the grand bounce this morning. The county Survevor took refuge in Jim Simpson’s effice. A certain young gentleman ot this city poked a ten dollar counterfeit blll at a prominent banker on yes- terday. The Grand Jury sets next week. The young feller says he was only joking. The Grand Jury will see whether he was or not. There are 220 cases inthe civil side of the circuit court docket tor | the March term, 1882, and 30 cages on the criminal side. This isa pret- | ty large docket for a comparatively new county and indicates good living | in sight for the lawyers. That's all right, though. ee The National Greenback Labor | party met in St. Louis on the Sth! instant. The delegates got together in a room at the Laclede hotel and counted noses and found 17 of the | brethren were on hand in response to the call for the convention. This looks like that party will sweep the country in 1884 don’t it, with a rush, too? We wish Bates county the utmost } prosperity, and we don’t often proph- | esy evil, but we are impressed with | the belief, the abolition of the office | of tax collector, and the substitution | of township collectors in its stead, i will not answer the end proposed by the projectors of the measure.—We have had some experience ift this matter, and the results were not at all satisfactory. It may turn out diff- | erently here, however. We make this prediction, that im | less than three years from this date, Batler wil! be the leading manutact- uring m Southwest Mo., sur solid men are beginning to ap- preciate the importance of manu-’ facturers, and are holding out induce- ments to operaters to locate establish- | ments here.

Justrun the boom right along, as the weath ined by | John. It is reported that the people of | the Eighth Congressional district are | about to be made happy- The Crisp men, it is said, are deserting him and | declare that they have stood by hi long enough. This insures the ele tion of a Democrat to Congress fall trom that district. Mr. Ragamuffin Van Horn. Good by We understand that Mr. A. L McBride said this morning to agen- tleman that he would give two hun- dred dollars towards the establish- ment ofa toundry in Butler. This opens the ball now let others of the solid men ot Butler imitate the ¢ ample set by Mr. McBride, and we will have a foundry here sson. May- be two of them. Carthage Patriot:—Five prisoners confined in the county jail made their escape Wednesday night about 7 o’clock, while tne jailor was at sup- per. Their names are Frank Mar- tin, Beck Hererord, Jim Babcock, James W. Sparks and F. M. Pettigo alias the Kid. Babcock, Sparks and the Kid were recaptured. Martin and Hereford are still at large. in the House ot Representatives at Washington is quite problematical, but we suppose there will be enough of orcide Democrats in the House to help the Stalwart Bepublicans pass it. Sherman must be retired on a big pension after awhile. This retirement business is going to be quite profitable to some folks, we think. Western Exterprise: The De- mocracy of Bates county are now considering the best method of se- lecting candidates for the coming campaign. The most satistactory way, and one that will meet with universal favor among the people, is to hold primaries, where the ex- pression of the voters is cbtainable, and then we are sure of having can- didates before the party that will be acceptable to ail. Mr. Frantz Bernhardt received a dispatch on yesterday from Dr. Lee stating that he would be in Butler : i and attend the mecting to be held next Tuesday night at the office of John T. Smith. The Dr. is in bard earnest and means busines hope our people will turn out and attend the meeting and meet the Dr. | in the same spirit that actuates him, and settle the fate ot this project so far as Butler is concerned. What say you all, gentlemen? Of the 254 cases onthe Bates coun- | | ty circuit court docket 13 of them are | busi- | divorce cas This diverce ness is becoming painfully large in | Missouri. It is acontract that courts should be very slow to annul. While | parties ought not to be kept in mar ital slavery, still we believe that it should be made to appear affirma-. tively that a happy union between | the parties is impossible and that the } best interest of society, of themselves and their offspring would be subserv- ; ed by a dissolution of the marriage.

We were shown a letter yesterday, written by a gentleman who resides in Butler, but at present absent in the State of Oho to Mr. J. M. Me- Clintock, in which the writer says a foundryman of the city of Coshoc- ton Ohio by the name of King, would remove his foundry trom that city to Butler if the small sum of $1,000 were advanced by owr people. It will be remembered by our readers that we stated in our issue of Thurs- day last, that Ury & Co. of Warrens- burg could be induced to remoye their foundry to this place at a cost of probably not exceeding $1,500. Ury & Co. are well known to many | of our citizens, while Mr. McClin- ; tock is well acquainted wit Mr. King, 'and speaks Lighly of him. ‘here is an opportunity to get one or | beth of these foundrys at Butler at Now comparatively small figures. Will the solid men of Butler allow chan- ces like shadows to pass them by? We We do not believe they will. i think they will take steps to secure one or both of these establishments.
