He will have a ten days’ docket to dispose ot, which will probably take him three weeks J. G. Collins, one of the solid tar- mers of Walnut township, gave us a pleasant call Monday. He intorm- ed us that he had crossed the island bridge which is about completed. Mrs. Ruth Young, aged 81 years, mother ot Mrs. A. Sherwood, died at the residence of her daughter, in this city, Tuesday of last week. She was a noble Christian lady,and loved and honored by all who knew her. Our young trend, Sam Walls, spent last week visiting friends in Nevada returning home Saturday. We rather think Sam 1s getting par- tial to Nevada, and are inclined to the opinion that that city will either have a valuable accession soon or lose one of its most charming daughters. One of the strongest points in the character of a great man is taithful- ness to triends. And on the other hand one of the most conclusive evi- dences ot smaliness is treachery to triends, The history of Arnuld and Aaron Burr are samples of what men come to who attract friends about them for their own aggrandizement, and when they have used them, turn and sting them like an adder. No man has ever yet gone 80 high on the ladder as to become i ndent of the friends who put him there. The first round on the ladder is no ex- ception to the general rule.—Ex. We are glad to say to our readers that Butler will again have a carriage shop. T. W. Legg is rebuilding en the old site as fast as the weather will permit. Mr. Legg will be sole owner, and manager of the business, and, as he was the mechanical head ef the Butler Carriage Works, we are assured that the wants of the rid- sng public can be satisfied by him. We would say patronize this mstitu thon, make it grow, compel him to increase his business, tor it is a ben- efit to the community. He informs us that he will be ready for all spring sepairs, remodeling, and repainting, &c., &c. Also that Catterlin & Legg have on hand a fine assortment et buggies and spring wagons that were not in the fire. Johnnie Orear, editor in chiet of the world renowned Thomas Cat, informs us that he has disposed of | the subscription list, advertising con- tracts and good wii! ot the Cat, to W. H. Gibbens, of the Archie New Era, and hencetorth Mr. Thomas will suspend business. The master | of the Cat is thinking of taking a trip | south for his health. Success to you Johnnie, wherever your lot may be cast. Now is your time to| dent. According to the Advertiser. an East Boone man came very near taking the town of Adrian last Satur- day. It luoks as though the people ot Kansas were having a judg ment sent upon them this winter if the shape bizzards. Ihe hogs in certain portions o Barton county are suttering greatly trom cholera, and a number of farm ers have lost heavily. Miss Houser, one at St. Louis’ most accomplished and charming belles, is in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. Jas. McFarland. The Adrian Advertser intorms us that the Recorder of that city, Tip Kirkpatrick’s paper, has been sold to a Butler man and will be removed to Foster. The wicked career ot the default- ing money loaner, S. E. Cheek, of Clinton, should be a warning to the recorders of this state to keep their seals under lock and key. ‘The subject at the Ohio strect M.

Nevada, Mo., Jan. 30.—Henry S. Stair, who was hanged here Friday tor the murder of the Sewells, threw his handkerchief oft the scaffold and asked that it be delivered to Nannctta Osborne, who is accused of being an accomplice in the crime. Atter the execution the handkerchief was ex- amined and a line of writing in pencil was found onit. The words were very dim and parts of them were obliterated, and the first at- tempts to read them were tailures, To-day they were deciphered and were read as follows: 1 love her—I killed the Sewells. There is but little reason to doubt that Stair did the writing. On the scaffold he protested his innocence to the last. Overcoats at cost, Underwear at cost, Gloves at cost, ‘Caps at cost.
