Wecall attention to the public sale ot live stock published in an- other column, to be held by L. C. Haggard at his farm near Altona on the first of November. We would hke for some one of our subscribers who has or will have winter apples for sale and who owes us on back subscription, to bringus six ereight bushels at an early date atter they are ready for dehyery. Mrs. J. N. Norman, of West Boone townsiup, sent to the Timrs office last week, a couple of remark- ably large sweet potatoes raised since the severe storm that passed over that section in the spring. = Conductor Curtis is one of the few Missouri Pacific boysthat sports a Joplin “‘solid’’ girl.—Joplin Herald. We would suggest that the wily conductor either muzzle that repor- ter or spend his leisure hours in the bosom of his family. Mrs. Eliza Wright, died at the residence of Rev. J. D.Wood in this city on Wednesday night last: The deceaséd was the mother of Mrs. Wood, whom she was visiting, her home being in Johnson county to where her remains were conveyed by rail for interment. Butler has raised her $30,000 and now offers to raise Rick Hill’s por- tion if the road will go by the way of Sprague, leaving us eight miles to the east. Will we let it go?—Ga- zette. Butler entertains no such feeling towards Rich Hill. We usually at- tend to our own business up here and allow other people and towns the same privelege. On the first page to-day appears the “‘ad.’’ of Christopher’s mammoth dry goods emporium. Christopher knows the art of advertising as well as he does that of selling good goods at low prices which fact is fully ex- emplified in the Times from week to week. His fall stock is in and a cordial invitation is extended to all. Mr. H. H. Wyse, of Grand river township informed us that he had in : the last two weeks. caught seven ~ foxes around the neighborhood. He keeps a pack ot fine hounds and en- joys hunting as well as any man in the county. The voice of a hound is music to his ear. He has a live fox'athome and intends having a grand chase in a day or two. Married at the residence of Rev. L. P. Siceloff and by same Thursday Oct. t2th 1882, Mr J. W. Pulham and Miss Fannie L. Lewis, both of Grand River township, this county. Miss Lewis is a sister ot our fellow townsman C. B. Lewis. The Times ishes them much happiness. Ll’ Thos. Berryhill, sold his livery sta- * ble to C. Bricker, of Scnell City, last week.—Butler Times. i While we ate sorrv-to lose an.old and valued.citizen, we ‘ure glad te note that Mr. Bricker has found a good location. Butler is.a goodtown and we will venture to‘say_that_ she has not a better business man that _ $a recommend Mr. Bricker to be. “he good wish: eg of mafiy friends go with him. Sch ty News. - i Brae « «here 1s a well under the Opera j ilding near the uorth wall. Pipe is run from the well alosg un- decneath the floor--to the south wall, P a distance of 75 feet, where”a’ force pump is attached to supply water for the occupants of the ground floor. The same pipe is extend- ed up through the second floor and on to the stage of the Opera room where another force pump is attach- ed.

Stone, of Ne- vada, will speak at the court house in Butler on SATURDAY, OcT. 21st. Mr. Stone 1s one of the most pbril- liant Democratic orators in the southwest, and we guarantee to every citizen one ot themost inter- | esting speeches ot the campaign, 1f | they will anly come out on that oc- casion. Conference Appointments. The Southwest Missouri Conter- ence ofthe M. E. Church south in session at Nevada last week, made the following appointments that will affect and of interest to our citizens: Kansas City district, Presiding Elder, ©. C. Woods; Butler station, L. P. Siceloff; Butler circuit, W. L. NEW | ESTABLISHMENT. | Go to Barton & | Veil’s, on the west side: | of the square, for sew- jing machines. Old) machines taken as part pay on new ones.

The Rev. J. D. Wood was sent to Marshfield. Wile writing upon this subject we wish to say that though his place will be ably filled by Rev. Siceloff, aman whom this people all know and love, yet the standing Rev. Wood has attained in this commun- ity during his stay here is something to be envied. The disinterested earnestness of the man 1s_noticeable in his every conduct and his style 1s not that repulsive sort that belongs to some preachers. Rev. Wood is eur kind of a man. Burglars at Work. A small house in the yard of J. C. Lucas about three miles southwest of Butler was entered Wednesday night of last week by thieves and about $22.50 in money taken. The house was turned upside down by the thieves, bureau drawers, trunks andin fact everywhere there was likely to be money. The thievesen- tered through a mosquito bar in the window. Atthe time the burglar was in the house Mr. Samuel Lucas and wife an aged couple of seventy or eighty years was sitting up in an adjoining room, but being hard of hearing did not discover the theif’s stealthy work till he had re- treated with his booty. Change of Trains. Intheir desire to accommodate tho traveling public the Missouri Pacific Company have put another passenger train on the L. & 8. branch. The new train wili be known as the Joplin and Kansas City Express and will pass the Butler station go- going south at7;40 a.m. There is no change made in the Texas Ex- | press. | ‘The accommodation trains have !been discontinued, and we local | treights going each way will meet at this point at 9:30 a. m. each day. _ The new arrangements will be satisfactory to local -travel, but it ‘conflicts with travel east very mater- ially. “You can gmake connection now for St. Louis’in but one way, and that is by taking the Texas Ex- press at 5235 a. m.

McClintock ac- companied by his famly left last week for Olympia, Washington Ter- ritery. A better man than J. M. McClintock never liyed or died. A more conscientious christian gentle- man it has never been our fortune to meet in this or any ether country. Industrious to a fault, honest to the fullest extent, courteous and oblig- ing to all-people and at all times, naturally enough he was only to be known to be respected and loved. Much did we regret to part with | so noble a character, for the associa- tions of past years had endeared us | to him to that extent that time and | distance can neither lessen or oblit- | erate our admiration for the man.
