When the editorial excursion train pulled down to the Nevada depot ‘last night a grand sight was to he | seen. The long plattorm ot the de- | pot was jammed to suffocation with | the talent, beauty and wealth ot that |truly enterprising and delightful jcity. Every lady and gentlemen held above their heads handsome boquets,and numerous baskets of ele- | gant flowers were carried into the | cars and every occupant was literal- | ly inundated with perfumed roses. It was indeed a grand ovation, such as I never witnessed before. There ; must have been at least 500 people | assembled to do honor the faber pushers. | to on, and it lasted not more than minutes, Judge Burton, ofjNevada, delivercd an able and humorous ad- dress, occasioning loud and enthusi- asticapplause. Col. Childs of the Richmond Cozservator, responded io the sentiment of Judge Burton’s speech and thé magnificent ovation of the people of Nevada. When the train pulled out twenty- five of our party were taking lunchin the depot restaurent and were lett. Finding themselves in a bad plight the boys pressed into service a spe- cial car and engine and overtook us at Fort Scott. THE COLLISION.

The wreck occurred be- tween 3 and 4 o’clock, and, strange | to say, nobody was hurt. ; Thetrain was brought back to Parsons, where we now await the clearing of the track.

The excursion train of the Mis- jsouri Press Association, bound for the Lone Star State, passed through this city Friday evening and made a short halt at the depot. The train | consisted of three magnificent palace coaches. which were packed withthe editors and their wives, numbering about threehundred.

The Factory We take pleasure in placing be- fore the public in issue of the Trwes the names of Messrs.

So any one who is not blind or near-sighted, can see in this week’s ood goods east i | a moment the advantage of saving their hard earned dollars by buying | their goods at the famous Factory | Store, located on the south side of | the square. McCiintock & | Burns, are worthy the name and | fame they have worked so hard to \ build up for honesty and square | dealing. They are now offering for | thirty days a great reduction im _pri- ces. Call and see them. Messrs. Mr. T. M. Scott, one of the hard- } fisted yeomenry of West Point town- | ship, gave us a pleasant call and re- | newed his subscriptioa the other day. Mr. Scott is, perhaps, one of the oldest settlers in this county, having immigrated here in 1836. He in- tormed us that he could have entered the land that the town of Butler now stands on at $1.25 per acre, and that where the beautiful macadamized streets shaded on either side by ma- | ples andevergreens, and perfumed by delicate roses, he had chased the ; wild deer, heard the doleful howl ot the cayote and the sharp crack of the huntsman’s rifle. What = great changes civilization and cultivation | Bates county improve in the future, asinthe past, what a wonderful , country this will be. Mr. S. was also accompanied by Mr. C. M. Hite, a young and intelligent tarmer jof the same neighborhood, and, strange to say, neither of them had | ever saw a power printing press’ be- fore. Both gentlemen informed us that the crop prospects were good in their neighborhood, and | yet.

Mr. Perry Campbell, living in the same neighborhood, on returning from Rich Hill, where he had been to mill, by some means dropped his overcoat, which was a avery largerone, off his wagon, in the road. It being late in the evening, he drove rapidly on home before he | missed it. Mr. Ray chaneed to be | out a httle late onthe look for his cows and having occasion to travel the same road, and while traveling along looking and watching tor his cows his eyes fell upon the over- coat; lying piled up in the road like }a huge monster. What can it be, says Joe tohimselt! And the longer he looked the bigger the coat grew; He studied for some time the best and safest mode of attack and finally | concluded to attack the demon | whatever he might be. So he gent- {ly withdrew to a convenient rock | pile, armed himself to the teeth, and {like a mountain cat guarding he ; young at that overcoat Joe sprang. | Joe threw and threw but the coat continued to grow until Joe could no longer stand the pressure, und | like hero took to his heels, and made | ithome atthe rate of 2:20. The whole neighborhood was immedi- ately aroused and the horn of the hun- }ter could be heard toecho for miles | around. After everything had been i gotten m readiness, dogs, horses and guns, that overcoat was charged |andtaken prisoner, and Joe now | breathes easy. | In the police item yesterday we [were made to say the costs were ; $41,10 when it should have been i $4.10. have wrought since then, and should } that the | | chinch bug had done no damage as : ESTABLISHED 1870.
