Judge Hawkins presides with be- coming dignity as Judge ef the Pro- bate court. County Clerk Starke, had the poll books out and distributed on time for the election yesterday. Some, who are in a position to know, say that not less than $20. ooo went out ef Butler and into the pockets of the Chicago schemers. The Osceola Sse claims that Wm. Hodgson, of Monegaw town- ship St. Clair county, has an eigh- teen foet vein of coal on his place.

The Demoerat ix mistaken in the statement that the township election takes place on the last Tuesdy in March. The law fixes the time on the first Tuesday in April. Remember that the Times job de- partment is equalte any in the coun- try, where your work can be execut- «ed as neat and as cheap as any place sin the South-west without exception. The rehearsels for Pinafore grow amore interesting to the participants.

Nevada will expect a good delegation from Butler on the occasien. Let her people not be disappointed. The Osceola Sax says Waide P. fohnson has contracted for 2,000.000 feet of lumber, and will order. more, the whole to be used in fencing his St. Clair county property. It will take two mills nearly a year to saw the lumber, Chaton Democrat: The frat #ain over the new railroad te Eure- &a Springs, reached that famous place last Wednesday.

Thecitizens ef our neighboring town ot Clinton will vote on a prop- | osition to furnish the citv with gas, shortly. ‘he gas men agree to put up works and turnish the city with i lars a year. Geo. W. Short has bought the in- terest of his partner, H. H. Flesher, in the mercantile business at Virginia Wiltoa; Mr. and Mre. C. T. Farland; Mrs. W. J. Smith, and Miss Orr, sister to Mrs. Tygerd. with a blue pencil, they must go, Mr. Flesher will be retained, we are informed, as salesman aasisted by Mr. J. E. Armstrong The Times wishes the new arrangement abund- ant success. Will the oldest native, it his mem- ory contains it tell us when in the his- tory of the past wasthere experien- ced such strikingly peculiar weather asthat of last Saturday morning when heavy thundering and hghten- img was so frequent, the snow tall- ing so tast, and withal cold enough to treeze the horns off a brass mon- key. The city council at its last meeting called in and paid off all the bonded indebtedness of the city amount to $1,600. This leaves the city out ef debt so far as bunds are concerned. Perhaps the city council will from this on have a few dollars to spend on eur streets which are badly in need of work in quite a number of places. The citizens of West Butler pre- sented a petition to the city council at their last meeting paying that hon- orable body to extend the corporate limits of the city so as to include that portion of the town. The council ordered the clerk to draw up an ordinance covering the case and have it ready tor the next meeting ef the board. This move onthe part of the citizems of that part of our city 1s certainly a wise one and should have been done long ago. The protracted meeting now in Progress at the Ohio street M. E. church, under the supervision of its pastor Rev, Alexander, assisted by Miss Lizzie Miller, a revivalist ot West Virginia, is meeting with good success. Already fifteen have pro- fessed religion, and quite a number are going forward each evening. , It is certainly a remarkable meeting, considering the excessive celd weath- er. Itis the intention to keep the meeting up as long as there is in- terest enough manifested. Or in the language of the pastor, till spring if necessary. : A Post ot the Grand Army of the Republic has been established at | “FUND W.

Friday evening, Feb. 2n4, 1883: «There was a tumult in thecity, In that quaint old Quaker town; And the streets were ife with people, Pacing restless up and down.”’ The call for a meeting of the members of the Butler Board of Trade, was. with possibly one or two exceptions, responded to by every member and share-holder_in- terested in operations ot ‘‘Club 13, Fund W"’ and other co-operative combinations of Chicago. The hoard ridged in its rules, ex- cludes all who are not members, as is the case with all men who make or loose fortunes in a short time, who control capital to an unlimited extent, who bull, or beat the market at pleasure, these are the men who all, times repel the most subtile and insinuating interviewer, judging trom the fluctuating and unsteady condition ot the market, and from the wild and care-worn faces of some of our heaviest operators tor the past tew.days our reperter. pre- dicted that some business of unusual importance %was to be brought be- fore the Board and by some scheme, known only to himself, (he was brought up in Chicago,) succeeded in being one otf the mighty throng that filled the largest room on that occasion. No time was lost but with the promptness and alacrity that characterizes the true business man, the chairman called the house to order and stated the object ot the meeting. The secretary being called upon, read the following telegrams. Cuicaco, Janu. 30 1883. Butler Board ot Trade.
