Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Smith, of this city,celebrated their wooden wedding anniversary at their home Saturday evening last. A few intimate friends were invited and a pieasant and so cial time was had. Out of the ashes and home again. Chas. Denney moved his stock of groceries into his new brick at his old stand on the east side Monday, and extends a cordial invitation to his old customers and the publ.c in general to call and see him.

Powell, who is a fair looking young man, 21 vears of age, when ques- tioned by the reporter stoutly denied having changed the figures, and said it they had been tampered with it was done by the banker to coyer up his mistake of giving him too much money and all he knew about it, but if he had to suffer for it he could do so.

Those who want thé Times in that neighborhood will please hand in their names to him, and he will see they have prompt attention. The entire community will regret to learn and deeply sympathize with Wm. Simpson, in the loss ot his wife. whose death occurred from pneumonia, at her home seven miles northwest of this city Saturday last. Her death falls all the heayier upon her husband trom the fact that she leaves a fatnily ot ten children tor a broken hearted husband to care for. Mr. Simpson is one of our largest and wealthiest farmers, and his es- timable wite was one of the kindest of neighbors. Hertoss will be deep ly telt by the entire neighborhood. Wednesday otf last week the mar- shal arrested John Chenev and Chas, Lewis, for tast Jriving on the streets of Butler. Their trial came off on Thursday, Cheney plead guilty and paid his fine, while Lewis demanded a tnal, which did not proceed tar un- til the town attorney dismissed the case against him. Charlie, who is always up with the times in enter prise went right out ot the court room hitched up his nobbyest sleigh, put on his best clothes, hired the band and paraded around the square, to the tune of **Hail to the Chief,’ and “Lo, the Conquering Hero Comes.” + G. G. Glazebrook, of Elk Hart township, gave us a pleasant and substantial call last Saturday. Mr. Glazebrook is offering his name to the democratic party of this county as a candidate for sheriff. For the benefit ot those who may not have the pleasure ot his acquaintance, we will say he is a democrat through and through and a gentleman in every wavy qualified for the important trust.

The deaths trom freezing so tar as reported run up to nearly a hundred. Of course these reports do not include the re- mote counties of the state which are neither penetrated by railroads or telegraph wires. Consequently there 1s no news from them and the amount ot suffering and deaths will remain silent until the snow drifts are removed by the sun and travel is once more resumed, All can immi- grate to a country where it 1s trom sixty to a hundred miles to tuel and hve miles to water that want to, bul tor us, we are satisfied with our lot in old Missouri. A seduction case of a highly sen- sational order was tried betore Judge Given, at Harrisonville, Saturday last. The principal actors in the drama which furnished such deli- cious food for the minds ot the crowded court house, were Miss Anna Biller, of Index, Cass county, against D. P. Pigg, of Henry coun- ty. According to Miss Builler’s tes- timony Pigg came to Index about seven years ago and engaged in bus- iness and was also appointed post- master at that place, and while boarding at her tather’s house he took advantage ot her under promise of marriage and effected her ruin. and then skipped out. Both sides | were ably represented and a hard fight ensued, The case was finally given to the jury who after three hours’ deliberation brought in a ver- dict assessing the Hog’s punishment at three years in the pen. There beiaz only one road to escape Pigg concluded to marry the girl, and thus pay the penalty of his wrong doing, the girl consented but her tather ob- jected and getting two sheets in the wind, took the streets, disgusted ev- ery body with his boisterous talk and a high oid time ensued.

Our informant said Wetzel had just drawn a large hog trom the scalding tub and as he made a _mo- tion to pullthe hair from it tell over and died without uttering a word. He was in his usual good health when he commenced work and his sudden and unexpected death sent a thrill of horror through those present.

Saturday was another ternble cold day, and our undivided sympathies went out tor the poor and destitute of our city, and all the more so when we look back to the meeting of the council Thursday night and find that they wrangled over everything else except doing something tor the poor. While, legally speaking, the law may not give the council care for the authority to yet the board would be but subserving the ends poor, of humanity and a just public would sustain them in any such charitable actions. The Times feels it has done its duty in trying to stir up a fellow feeling among our citizens for the untortunate and m trying to move the city council to awakening of action in the matter, but our efforts seem to have fallen by the wayside, and our werds, tender and pathetic, upon deaf ears. We under stand that M. C. Morris, an ol man with nine children, living near Fay’s mill, are in a destitute condition. Mrs. McInnich, a crazy woman, has been allowed during this cold weath- er to lay in an old shanty on a bed of straw with a scant supply of bed clothing, and the wonder 1s that she has not frozen to death. Fleetwood Thomas tells us there are a number of tamilies destitute in his neighborhood, and he himself ‘is getting along by the hardest. Let us arouse and do something tor the poor. A charivari that started at Cornland and wound up in a justice court, very much to the detriment of the pocket books of several young men in the neighborhood. The trouble grew out of the fact that the boys, about thirty in number, of the neigh- borhood of Cornland, carried their fun a little too far in charivaring an old man and widower of that section who had just married, by the name ot G. W. Hill. ‘The facts as revealed on the witness stand in a justice court in this city Saturday last, went to show that that the boys on Tues- day night ot last week, organized a charivaring party under the leader- ship ot Captain B. R. L, Paston, and went to the old man’s house, and in the course of the merriment with pans, axes and the like, proceeded to make things for a time decidedly lively tor the old man and his lovely bride. The facts are they carried things entirely too far by shooting into the house, battering the door with an ax, pulling the old man around over the yard by the hair and arms, and in using profane and inde- cent language. Well, the boys had their fun Tuesday night and the old man got in his work the next day by swearing out a states warrant against Nathan Smith, Jas. Arrow Smith, Wesiey Arrow Smith, Chas. Chawn- ing and Lon Condra, and on Satur- day they were yanked before a j. 2, of this city, who changed the fun of j a chanvari into j upon each of the Smiths and Chawn- { and ing, and $14 and cost upon are | Condra.
