Webb one of the presper- ous and well to do farmers of Mound Township called yesterday and remember us substantialy.

Justreceiveda tresh lot of choice oranges. lemons, bannanas, figs and dates, at Keith’s fruit store west side square. Let every body turnfout to hear Karl, Thursday night. It is repre- sented as being one ef the best shows traveling. It is immense and no mistake. N. K. Meek, our newly elected J. P. has rented an office up stairs in the Thompson building oppesite the Opera House, and is now ready tor any business in his line you may see fitte give him. Mr. Meeks a good man and will make a mest excellent Justice of the Peace. We netice our merchants are ship- ping in large quantities of potatoes. This certainly looks a little strange, when we consider they are worth one dollar per bushel and Bates, one of the richest agricultural counties in the state. Seme of our farmers sav. well, if we were to raise a big crop of potatoes they weuld not be worth anything. Weli that may be true, and they may raise « big crep ot wheat, corn, oats, &c.. and it may not be werth anything. ‘There is money in raising good potatoes. Cap’t. Tygart left Monday tor St. Louis. While there, as agent for the city of Butler he will nego- tate the sale of fifteen of the two thousand bonds of the deneminatien ef one hundred dollors each, issued by the city fer the payment et the burial grounds purchased by the city, ef the old cemetery associatien. We unerstand Mr. Tygart will charge nething tor negotiating these bonds. The bonds were placed in hie hands by Mayor Lefker, and are made pay- able in three years, or at the op- tien ef the city. The grounds purchased by the city are known as Oak Hill Cemetery. The people will be out nothing as we understand it, asthe lots sold by the city for burying purposes will finaly refund the purchase money. However, the money thus raised by the sale of lots, willbe used forfht a iti'ying and k-ep ’ ing the grounds in order. A great many of us are too neglectful of our relatives and triends who have passed away, and in a great many instances were it not for the plot of the ceme- tery would not be able to find the staves ef our leved cnes- Christopher & Jacxsen. Among the many enterprise in Butler that a people should patron- ze, admire and feel proud of is the magnificient stere of Chistopher & |” Jackson, on North Main street next door to the post office. They are both enterprising men, and have filled their large room trom floor te ceiling with one of the handsemest spring stocks ef dry goods and no- tions it has been the pleasure of the teporter to investigate for a leng time. There 1s not a want that can- sot be supplied by them. Their stock is simply immense and their display beautiful. Mr. D. Mize, the gentleman who has charge of this large establishment has had years of experience in the Susiness, and knews how to arrange and best of all, how to sell goods at} the very lowest prices :maginable. The salesmen under hin are yours gentleman of experience also, and afe as polite as you could wish them tobe. We advise the readers of the Tiws to ca!lat their establishment and see if our statements are not Correct. CITY COUNCIL. Going Out of the Old and Ceming in of the New.
