BUTLER, MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, MARCH, 20 1882. | THE OPPORTUNITY. Citizens ot Butler and vicinity, you are offered an apportunity to secure another railroad. The question is, what are you going to do about it? In Wednesday’s issue the Times gave you the outlines of the proposi- tion submitted by the representatives ofthe Ft. Scott, St.Louis & Chicago railway company, to build and op- erate a railroad through Bates coun- ty and Butler. As stated the amount askedtor is a subscription of $60. 000 stock and right of way for the whole county, Butlers shase as di vided up by committee, being $30,- e0o and right of way from the Marias de cygnes river to the north line of Mount Pleasant township. The opportunity is theretore pre- sented tor your consideration and ac- ton. The amount required is not unreasonable, and the importance of the matter is evidently worth a des- it. The our perate struggle to raise building of one road through county has made the building of a second all the more If the L. & S., was worth $20,000 to necessary. Butler, (and no one will deny that it wasnot,) then the Ft. Scott St. L. & C., isamply worth every dollar and more too of the $30,000. The fact of Butler herself to raise half the amount, may little taking upon seem at first sight, a unfair. Buton more careful thought upon the subject we are convinced that it is reasonable enough, when taking But- ler is the center of population and into consideration the fact that wealth, as well as the capital of the county And thenthe territory over which we have to operate is more extended than either Rich Hill or Altona. Citizens, there will be a meeting at the court house soon, called for the very purpose of testing’ the question as to how bad you want a railroad, Many of you have often expressed yourselves as disposed to aid the building of a road that had as its backing and which would be operated by the Chicago & Alton railroad company. Now, you have a chance to show your hand; and it must be done quickly and unresery- edly. If your heads and hearts are true to the words of your mouth, demmonstrate the fact by a free- will generons offering. Remember you are not donating your money, which but subscribing it as stock worth dollar for some day will be dollar. MANUFACTURING INTERESTS. Just at a time when important ra road interests are up to monopolize the time and thought of a communi- ty, it is not exactly for the best to in- troduce new subjects appertaining to | | she will be matter went by default as many other enterprises often go. But Mr. Higley is again in our in conection city, partly on busines with the introduction of their plow in this section, and also to locate somewhere in the great Southwest a branch ot their manufactory. It would be well, therefore, for ovr people to prepare their minds to ny proposition think carefully over z the firm may make through its rep- resentative, and aim, if possible to secure the locating of the establish- ment here. Henry, and a gentleman whose name we cannot now recall, sold the plow | in this county last tall and we believe are still agents tor it. It plement of excellent merit which can be best explained ky those who have used and therefore understand” its working. THE CITY ELECTION. Again we ask the city Democratic politicians what about a ticket? It we are to take it straight, it’s time is an im- something was done. The time forthe election is not far off and the people should know who are aspiring to the different positions? City officials in Butler are becoming important functionaries. An era ot improvement is upon us and we want none in office who are not enterpris- ing enough to keep pace with its progress. And above all we want none but men who have at heart the improvement of the whole of the city alike. No sectionalist should be nominated ; no one committed to this or that part of town is « competent individual for any city office. There are men now quietly alluded to for positions who are of this char- acter. and hereatter, no such narrow minded menare fitfor oursupport. The inter- | ests of the city as a whole is the thing we want city officials to Jook after. We want no jobs, no packed con- hence no bickerings ventions and will arise and success of the party | and city alike will be assured. What | sav you gentlemen? Speak out. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The Carthage Patréof alluding editorially to the Price of Con- gressional Districts under the new apportionment order of things, sug- gests the following counties. ten in number, as the Sixth Distric’ Counties.

By reference to the map it will be observed that the above list of coun- ties shows a geographical conven- ience besides a political status that would make the District very accept- able. Green county concedes that taken from ‘the Sixth District and placed elsewhere, which is all right enough, and joy go with her. Ii we understand the wishes ot the | Democracy of this county, it preters | to remain in the Sixth District, or at east desires to be associated with the counties south, let the number be what it may. Of course party interest must prevail, but then Demo- | cratic strongholds should be allowed matters calculated to divide a cen- tralized effort, but the subject of manufactories nearly akin to the railroad subject that we are pur- suaded to ask a portion of the pub- j lic’s attention.
