The business men of Clinton, Windsor, Harrisonville, Independence, War- rensburg, and we might name a number of other places have gone in- to the enterprise heart and soul, and it 1t pays them it will pay us. It is a matterof great importance to our business men and they should not lose this opportunity of securing a creamery tor Bates county. A committee of three consisting of O. D. Austin, J. C. Clark and Wm. E. Walton, was appointed to interview our people and raise the required amount $5,500, for the pur- pose of securing the establishment ot the creamery in this city.

The country has losta great man, an eminent lawyer and able de- fender of the christian religion. A representative of the Holden Enterprise, who attended the rail- road meeting in this city last week pays some high compliments to the enterprise and thrift of Butler and her people. The good people of this city never fail to entertain her guests in the right spirit, consequent- ly they go away happy, praising both town and citizens. Governor Crittenden will attend the grand temperance encampment at Parsons, Kansas, on the 27th in- stant. There will be an exciting tournament between the champions of prohibitio: and high-lcense. Missouri’s governor will join forces with Rev. Howard Crosby, Gover- nor Glick of Kansas and others in upholding the cause ot high license. Two thousand army tents have been procured to accommodate the camp- ers, our citizens. Mr. Smiley has consented to re- turn and address our people on this subject again Saturday, when it is hoped they will give him a rousing turn out. The farmers who are deep- ly interested in this matter also are fespectfully mvited and it is hoped they will attend. Remember Sat- drday evening at the court house. ee BRIDGE MATTERS. Perhaps it will be of some interest to a number ot our tarmer friends to know that the county court at its re- cent session, instructed M. L. Wolfe, bridge commissioner, to prepare es- timates of the probable cost ot erect- ing an iron bridge with rock abut- ments over Mormon Fork on the township line between East Boone and Deer Creek townships and_re- tor a round hundred thousand to car-| port at the next meeting.

This is another case im which the power of cor- porations is plainly visibly. We would suggest to the operators, that the best and most affective way to get even with Mr. Gould is to vote the Democratic ticket. A man that would go down in his pocket an erals lowa and Ohio hold their elections on the 6th of October.

If the farmers will adopt a plan like this, or similar, we will soon havea new jail. Remember the day is not far distant when Bates county will be checkered with rail- | roads, and her population thribled. | Kind providence has blessed you | with good crops, and plenty, and | you can no longer crie hard times as an excuse for your negligence in this matter. Henry county with her people groaning under a heavy rail- | road debt, and high taxes, built a handsome jail a couple of years ago. and her people have paid for it and said they did not miss the money. Now can’t the people of Bates coun- ty who are out of debt and owe no body build a jail. We say they can, | if they will. There is a movement on toot in quite a number of counties and in fact almost all over the state to raise REAMER 4 | commendations fram us.

This is a good move on the part of the people and their old comrades, and the work should not stop until the object 1s accomphshed. This matter has been neglected too long already. The southern soldiers was brave and tearless and fought and died for what they believed to be right, and their comrades and triends are in duty bound to pay them the re- spect due, which is a decent cemetery and a monumentto mark their last resting place. The ex-Confederate soldier of Bates county should feel as much interested in this matter as in other places and should throw in his might toward aiding in the good work. Kentucky Elections- Loutsvi_tr, Ky., August 16.—The Courier-Journal has official hundred hundred in the re- and and State vote. from one of seventeen counties which shows the following Gov. Knott, Democratic, 129,191; Morrow Republican, 95,620; Knott’s majority, 43,571. In 1879 _ these same counties gave Blackburn 42, 775 majority. The remaining eight counties in seventy-nine gave a Dem- ocratic majority of 11,042, and un- Official reports show that this has been increased in this county. Knott’s majority will not vary 100 votes trom 49’000, nearly two thou- sand greater thanthe last election. Austria, the colored candidate for register was generally scratched, and his opponent will have over 60,000. The vote tor a constitutional cgnven- tion was light all over the State, and many counties gave adverse majori- ties. The hopeis that the proposi- tion has been carried. turns nine out one New Banking Company. Asis well known Mr. E. M. Clark, banker at Adrian has been in very bad health for some time. This necesitates a change ot loca- tion. Steps are being taken to torm a company with a larger capitol. This company wil! continue the bus- iness and assume all habilities of the bank. Ithas always been a very profitable business and the new man- agers expect to do still better with increased capital. The organiza- tion will be made under the state banking law. Among ‘the — stock holders will be F. J. Tygard, J. C. Clark, of Butler, A. J. Saterlee, Moudy & Co. and J. Scudder, of Adrian, Other _ parties and | around Adrian are thinking of taking | stock but it would, perhaps, bea lit- | tle premature to announce their names. It will be a solid organi- zation composed of men who mean business whea they embark in any enterprise. Next week we shall be able to announce a tull list of stock holders. | We clip the above from the | Adrian Advertiser. Mr. Scudder | who has béen writing for the Times since the departure of its editor, we are sorry to state severed his connec- tion last week for the purpose of tak- | ing charge of the above institution.

The Eminent Statesman’s Death— | He Dies Peacefully, Surrounded by | His Family and Loving Friends— | His Pathetic Prayer. j York, Pa., Aug. 19.—Judge Jere- ' miah Black died at ten minutes past 2 o’clock this morning and though | not unexpected his death was sud- den, and was a shock to the commu- nity. On Saturday morning he seemed somewhat better, but the | improvement was too slight to jus- tify the hope of recoyery. An un- favorable change began about 4 inthe | afternoon, and he grew worse, but remained conscious to the end, and died peacefully. WHAT HE THOUGHT. From the begining of his illness Judge Black believed he would nev- er, get welland was perfectly jresign- ed. Mrs. Judge Black, Lieut.-Gover- nor Chauncey F. Black and wife, Henry Black, Mr. and Mrs. Harns- by, A. B. Farquhan and Dr. Meisen- beldenn were present. Many tele- grams of condolence have been re- ceived. The funeral will take place Tues- day, at5 p.m. His remains will be interred at Prospect Hill cemetery. Dr. Powers of the Christa church at Washington, will probably of- ficiate at the funeral. Shortly betore Judge Black died he said to his wife, ‘‘How can I fear to cross the dark river when my Father waits for me the other shore??? and added: ‘*Would I were as comfortable about all Ileave behind unfinished in this world,’’ and then he breathed the tollowing earnest prayer. ‘sO, Thou beloved and most mer- citul Heavenly Father, from Whom Thad my being and in Whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will, grant that my suffering end and that I speedily be called home to Thee; and O, bless and comfort thee, my Mary.”’ The immediate cause ot his was toxaemia, produced by absorp- tion of retained urinary constituents prior to the operation of Thursday. Dr. McKennon of York, who had spent the day with the patient, no- ticed the appearance of untavorable symptoms about 4 o’clock in the af- ternoon. Dr. Meisenholder ot York, who relieved Dr. McKennon about 6 o’clock also noticed the change for the worse and from that hour the increasing gravity of his symptoms indicateda gradual failure ofall the vital forces. Judge Black suffered greatly during his illness, but his last rnoments were without on death away, retaining consciousness until within « few moments ot his death.
