Although it had been pub- washer a pleasant visit: licly talked on the streets for some time, that the citizens intended at some time to demonstrate in some way their gratitude, yet none knew just how or whenit would take place. Consequently, on Thursday, even- ing last, after the sun had hid _itselt behind the horizon, about a half hun- dred ot our citizens might have been seen wending their way down North Main street to the handsome resi- largest shops in southwest Missiouri, and his harness are all hand made and of a superior quality.

Pace. The motives of this mysterious crowd being as much a mystery to the citizens as it was a surprise toCol. Pace, who threw open his parlor doors and gave them a hearty welcome. Col. Pace, of course was very much astonished at this unexpected evaision ot his fel- low citizens and was at a loss to know their object, when Mr. Jno. W. ABERNATHY, who had _ been chosen as the mouth piece for the intruders stepped forward and ex- plained the object ot their visit, in the beautiful language which we give below. Col. Pace, of course was taken by total surprise, and tor a moment was at a loss to know what to say or how to express his gratitude for the handsome present presented to him by his fellow citizens. The gift was a handsome solid gold watch and chain, bearing the following inscription, on the inside of back case: ‘Presented to, J. L. Pace, by the citizens ot Butler, Aug. 15th, 1883." On the front case was the letters J- L. P. and on the dial was photo- graphed a picture ot his only child and daughter Ada. The watch and chain was pur- chased of N. B. Jeter, jeweler of this city at a cost of $250 and was a master piece of workmanship. The watch is row proudly wern by its owner and highly prized as a gift from his people whom he has lived among so long and learned to love so well. May this watch not alone keep him posted as to the time ot day, but tic to the very moment of the arrivial and departure of the C. & A. and Emporia trains from the depot at Butler, is the wish of the Times. The following isthe presentation speech by Jno. W. ABERNATHY. Cor. J. L. Pacz. You are no doubt surprised at this inoppor- tune invasion of tne privacy of your home by so many of your tellow citizens, while it 1s true that during your long residence in Butler, and your association with her people, eve- ry friend and neighbor has always felt welcome under your hospitable roof, yet we feel that you may perhaps wish some explanation as to the ob- ject of such a number of callers atter calling hours. To me has been as- signed the duty of making this ex- planation and our appology for thus ruthlessly breaking in upon the home quietude ot one we know to be in need of rest. Our object in coming is to pay a small tribute of respect to one whom we know merits it. In all times and countries, perseverance, industry, energy, honor, genius and patriotism, have generally been rec- ognized, appreciated and rewarded by the people. The citizens of But- highly respected citizens ot Mingo | ler recognize in you a public spirited township, this county, and _ this ; man of far seeing ability, superior thoughtless act of their boy falls hard | judgement, boundless energy, un- upon them, they have the sympathy | tiring perseverance and industry. of the community.

The wound was a serious one, the wire cutting through the flesh just above the knee to the bone. Wricut & G.Lortvs. F. J. Wiseman, editor ot the Rich Hill Enterprise was in the city Fri- day last and gave the Times a call. He is a genial gentleman and pub- lishes a good paper. Some sneak thief entered the liv- ery stable ot Henry Livingston, Fri- day night and stole a lantern and bran new padded saddle, which he had just bought, paying sixteen or eighteen dollars for it. The fellow that would do as mean a trick as that deseryes about three years in the penitentiary. We hope Henry will catch him. ‘ Again we say you will make mon- ey by seeing Lefker & Childs before you sell your grain. 37tt. N. Davis, an old Butlerite, but now of Pleasant Hill. took in the Electric City one day last week. He is well pleased with his present location and says he is doing a good business. eee ot ce We learn from Mr. B.B. Bigstaff, who was in attendance at the Lone “Jack reunion last week, that Mrs. Frank James was there raising money to defray the expenses ot defending her husband Frank James. He un- derstood that she had raised in the neighborhood of one thousand dol- lars, several gentlemen donating as much as fifty dollars. He said Mrs. James was not a handsome woman, but seemed to be very intelligent. What she done in the way of raising money was very quiet. Letker & Childs have thus far paid more for independent flax seed than any one in the market. 37tf. The Hepuélecan down on the cor- nerhas let up on the Times and tackled the Demecrat over the court house business.

Young Thorn, who seduced the youny girl at Rockville, and then married her to, save himself from wearing stripes, and to add to his crime deserted her in five minuts at- ter the ceremony had been perform- ed, kas not by that act entirely es- caped the iron bandsof the law, as the prosecuting attorney will prose- cute the rascal for desertion. If Thorn has acted as bad and dis- graceful as reported, he should be prosecuted to the bitter end, and does not deserve an ounce of sym- pathy from anybody. A Mr. Fry, in the employ of Fa- lor & Sons met with a serious acci- Gent at their mills Tuesday morning. One of his hands, by some means, was caught between the cogs of the machinery, mashing it so badly that it was found necessary to amputate two of his fingers, and it is feared the entire hand will have to be taken off.—Ruch Hill Chronicle. See Letker & Childs before you sell your independent flax seed. It they don’t buy it, they will make somebody pay you all it is worth. g7tt Walton & Ball have new turniture in great quantity-and sell as low as the lowest. E. Carver, living in Shawnee township, and one of the Trgs best and oldest friends pulled our latch Monday and renewed his allegiance to the booming Times. He said his good wife torced him to come for- ward to the captains office. We hope our lady friends will get after more of our delinquents. Mr. Carv- er has a heart as big as a wagon wheel and his purse seemed to be tareing his pockets out. Mr. B. B. Bigstaff, intorms us that while attending the reunion at Lone Jack, he took advantage of the oc- casion and took alook ut two fine herds of cattle belonging to Whaley & Young, and Gudgett & Simpson ; Whaley & Young have about 24 or 25 head and he saysthey are as fine as he ever saw, Gudgett & Simpson have a much larger herd and are of the Peld Angus and Hereford breed, these cattle are superb and One male in particular which stands at the head ot the herd is the finest animal he ever saw.

Stubbs sunk a well at his resi- dence in Mound township a tew days ago andat a depth of 27 feet struck 2 vein of coal, which was 18 inches thick on the east side of the well and 30 inches on the west, with a good slate roof. So far this 1s the first ceal found in the township. The werk of prospecting should com- mence atonce. We have no doubt but that coal can be found in this} townrhip in just as paying quantties as elsewhere. Go to work. { forts to do something to benefit your town, county and people. While we cannot disguise the fact that man’s primary motives in most ot | lus efforts are and must be selfish in | their origin and look to the interests of himself and family, which is right and proper, yet coupled with these, are sometimes, other motives which animate men in their work and ac- tions. The citizens of Butler believe that in the persistent and laborious efforts you have made in securing to them another railroad and still fur- wonderful re- | sources of our wondertul county you have not alone been governed and impelled by selfish motives, but that you have beenalso actuated by a sincere purpose and desire to pro- mote the material interests of your city and the people of your county. That is why they arehere; to show their appreciationot that desire upon your part and the successful efforts you have put forth in its accomplish- ment. They wish also to do more than express their sentiments to- ward you in words, and have entrust- ed to me the pleasant duty of pre- senting to you this watch and _ chain, which as you wear and use from day to day will be a continual reminder of the esteem in which you are held by your people and the gratitude they feel tor your labors in their in- terests. And in making this presen- tation I wish to assure you that it is nota meaning less ceremony but throughout your lite you may carry with you the assurance that the sen- timents which accompany this small gift that emanate from the hearts of your fellow citizens. Response by cox. JAs. L GENTLEMEN :—This complete sorprise to me as I was not conscious of having done anything to merit at your hands such a_ beautiful present and sotouching a mark of tnendship and esteem. And _ the pleasurer with whichI accept it, is only marred by the thought that 1 have done so little to deserve it. If I have done anything in the past tor for the benefit of Butler and Bates county, this expression of your con- fidence and sympathy should and will nerve me to double my exertions inthe future so as to be worthy of the respect and esteem you have so gen- erously bestowed upon me. Gentle- men, I am no speaker at any time as you all know, but on this occasion Iam completely at a loss for lan- guage to express my feelings. Ican only say that I thank you one and all and as I wear your elegant present, my highest ambition shall be to so conduct myself toward you all as to retain the tnendship which has prompted the giving of 1t. Interesting to Rockville Townships. Here is an item that will be in- teresting tothe hard pressed people of Rockville township and may be of both news and interest to them. It will be remembered that Mr. Gould of the M. K. & T., railroad has had built and in operation for some time a switch running from hisM. K. & T. track to the rock quarries of McLaughlin, upon which line we are reliably intormed he has never given in to the assessor or. paid a dollar taxes. ‘I'he county court have been apprised of the tact and in accordance with their wishes M. L. Wolfe will look after the matter, and at the next meeting of courts Mr. Gouid’s case will be attended to. This is a matter ot considerable im- portance to the people of that town- ship and the taxes thus derived will go far towards helping them out of their present unpleasant situation with a compromise of their railroad debt. The tax on this switch will amount to considerable now provid- ed the court can make the railroad company pay the amount of back taxes which they owe. At any rate, they will do their best to make the railroad company put up what they are delinquent. The County Surveyor M. L. Wolte. will under instructions make a survey and plott of this switch for the information of the court, to be presented at the next meeting. In this connection we might say Gif the court have not already de- cided to do so.) that it would be a good idea to lookinto this railroad matter further, as the places in the county tt is escaping taxation.
