Refering to the approaching national holiday the Rich Hill 2x- terprise says: “While the qth of July is rapidly approaching nothing has yet been said in regard to the celebration, e1th- erat this place or Butler. Why would not the Boulware springs be n appropriate place for the cities to join in a grand picnic in celebrating our national birth day. A more pleasant, delightful and romantic place could not be found. ’’ ‘Lhe Timks seconds the suggestion ot the Exterfrise, and hopes to sce others come tothe support. A umon celebration would do much toward creating a new and better feeling be- tween the two cities, and there is no appropriate : spore nd cony place to hold the celebration than at the Boulware Mineral Sp Another suggestion has been made that, the occasion be made one for the re-umion of the old soldiers who fought in the Rebellion either side, inciuding also the Mexican vet- &erans, and all other soldiers who may reside in the county. There is no harm but much good and_pleas- ure that would come of such a re- wnion, and no day in the year would be more fitting than the 4th ef July. The Ties extends its hand to the Enterprise and the good people of Rich Hill, in the effort to bring about such a meeting, and at the place fvamed. Without doubt it would be one of the most successful celebra- tions ever conducted in the county. Butler people will be only too willing to meet and mingle with the wide- awake, intelligent citizens of the young Pitsburg of the West. There- fore Mr. Enterprise we are with “you heart ana soul in your generous proposal. So hidebound are Mr. Peter Wil- sons views he could not retrain from s0isting the bloody shirt in his ora- on on decoration day. But then we are given to understand by the Carthage Banner that it was not our day, and that we had nothing in com- mon with its observance. But hap- pily for the tranquihty of the country all that is spoken on decoration day does not reflect the true sentiment of those whom it is spoken for, and it 1s unfortunate that the Union Patriots Should choose men tu orate for them who never smelled the powder ot the civil conflict and have no practical conception of a battle- €eld.

On that day his remains will be remtered in Georgetown propriate ceremony. and over his grave is to be erected a beautiful monument by the hands ot his benetactor, W. W. Cochran. Payne died in Turis, in 1852, and was buried in a nameless grave. It was not till last fall that Mr. Coch- ran, a capitalist ot Washington, conceived the idea of removing the remains ot the dead author to this, of an admiring people could be his forever. ; The following simple lines are the architec of a tame that finds lim- it oaly where the English language does not exist: Mid pleasures amd palaces tho? we may roam, Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home; Acharm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which seek through the wide world, 1s ne’er met with elsewhere- Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Beiteverso humble, there’s no place like home.

Lamar bit of We are indebted to the Democrat tor the tollowing news and pleasantry : **We have heard rumors of anoth- er slander suit against R. M. E. Cooper, in which John A. Dillon 1s plaintiff. Dillon said he could stand to have his remarks published but to borrow a ready made clothing cut or a tobacco sign and put it over the copy of the speech and say this 1s John A.

Appropriately Obseved for the First T-me in Butler. A VERY PLEASANT TIME. Decoration day was observed tor the fist time in this city last Wednes- day, May 30. The forenoon being rainy prevented the carrying out of the program as was intended. The afternoon, however, was very pleas- | ant, and the G. A.
