@ ering goods to this city. LOCAL ITEMS. _ Fine rain Saturday. The trees are leafing out. The nightwatch detectives must go. House cleaning time has about arrived. Snow on the 29th of March. How is that for weather? Dr, Talmage refuses to accept free passes over the railroads, Paola, Kansas, 1s afflicted with a number of cases of smallpox. The democratic central committee of St. Clair county meet to-day. The citizens ot Sedalia have or- ganized a Jaw and order league. The young men ot Rich Hill are talking ot organizing anew band. What a brace to vote for, Bud Atkison and brother-in-law Smith. Mrs. D. McGaughey presented the judge with a fine boy Thursday. There will be preaching at the Ohio street M. E. church next Sun- day. Our town sportsmen are spending their leisure hours sniping on the bottoms. Paste this in your hat, Bud Atki- son won’t be undersold oh choice groceries. Saye your nickels and your dimes by reading the advertisements in the booming Times. President Cleveland was 49 years of age on the 18th inst. May he live long and prosper. If the merchants of Butler wish to “*brosper’’ they should advertise in the booming Times. J. M. McKibben left tor the east Friday night to buy goods for his palace store in this city. Try R. A. Atkison once, and you will never go anywhere else to buy your groceries. Mrs. Minnie McFarland, who has been spending the winter in Kansas, returned home last week. Don’t vote for Bud Atkison to re- tain brother-in-law detective Smith on the nightwatch force. The campaign is coming on and the old silver cornet band of Butler Ought to meet and organize. Wm. Tucker, C. Hagedorn and Robt. Hurt have received their fine $125 shot guns and they are daisies. The Emporia train is again deliv- Since the strike this road has been doing pretty well. The citizens of Nevada in mass convention assembled endorsed the governor’s message in regard to the strike. To satisfy you that the farmers are hard at work we invite your atten- tion to the hitching rack around the square. The repubiicans are talking of nominating G. alderman Smith tor representative. How does that sound for high? The proposition to put up water- works at Clinton has fallen through so far as Keeper & Alexander, the contractors, are concerned. The renommation of Bud Atkison in the south ward means the re-ap- poirtment otf drother-in-law Smith as mghtwatch. A vote for Bud Atkison is a vote to retain detective Decatur Smith on the nightwatch. Working men of the south ward vote against him, If you were to hunt the town over you could not find better or more enterprising men than J. R. Jenkins, Albert Badgley and J. W. McVe igh. A free ferry at this point would be a great boon to litigants aad wi - Resses residing north of the mver,— Osceola Sun. A free iron wagon bridge sounds better. The Florida Glide Waltz, by Will L.

For choice groceries go to Bud Atkison’s east side square. Farmers, R. A. Atkison wants your produce and will pay the high - est market price. McVeigh and Badgley are both excellent men and should be elected | by a rousing majority. If you want flax seed to sow this season you can get the same at the Grange store. About six inches of snow fell in these parts Monday, very much to the detriment of the newly planted gardens, J. K. Brugler & Son have five improved farms tor sale cheap and on easy terms, 16t£ Bud Atkison for alderman and brother-in-law detective Smith for nightwatch. Voters of the south ward will you vote for the combi- nation? The democratic central committee ot Vernon county met Saturday and adopted the primary system of nom- inating their county ticket, and set Friday, June 4th, as the day. The soldier element is well repre- sented in congress. The senate has 14 ex-union officers and 1g ex-con- federates, while the house has 79 ex- union soldiers and 42 ex-conted- erates. The republicans at the court house Monday might nominated the follow- ing city ticket: Bud Atkison for the south ward and E. K. Carnes and E. A. Bennett for the north ward. Poor old republican party they still hang to Bud Atkison and detective brother-in-law Smith, and the voters of the south ward will remember a yote for Atkison means a vote for detective Smith. On account of not haying $50 to pay his fine for carrying concealed weapons and drawing the same on his fellow man in Rich Hill one day last week, Richard Clark was placed in jail Friday last and is now serving the county by breaking rock. Dr. R. S. Bennett, of Rosier, was in the city Saturday and gave us a very pleasant call and favored us substantially. Dr. Bennett is col- lector of West Boone township, and Mr. Catron says, has made the clos- est collection of any collector in the county. Hon. Jno. T. Smith tells us that he has recently put quite a number of small cat-fish in his lake, set out about 25 fresh maple trees in his park, and has it well set in blue grass. Mr. Smith will have the prettiest place in southwest Missoun in a tew years. In another column we publish a prospectus of John B. Gough’s great book on temperance. Read the prospectus and then call on Col, A. T. Sims, ot this city, and subscribe foracopv. Itis the greatest book of the age on tem perance, and should be in every house. We see from the Clinton papers that the Hon. W. H. Cock is in the field tor representative of Henry county. Mr. Cock is at present one ot Clinton’s most prominent busi- ness men, has lived in the county 30 years, was collector in 1872, and in 1878 was chosen representative ot the county. We take pleasure in introducing to our people Dr, Boyd, who arrived in the city last week and formed a co-partnership with Dr. O. F. Ren- ick, under the firm name of Renick & Boyd. Dr. Boyd, having spent a good portion of his life in the hos- | puals ot Louisville, Ky., and New York, comes among us with the very best of recommendations as a surgeon and physician, and we take pleasure | in welcoming him to our city and} As | wishing him abundant success. tor his associate, Ur.

Candidates in abundance. We don’t know who will be elected ; but one thing is certain, all can’t be elected, W. S. Mudd will carry this town- ship for county judge. A tew days since Dr. J. W. France’s litt'e boy ot 6 years asked to take a horseback ride, which he was permitted to do, (thinking he only wanted to ride a short distance) He started south and was soon out of sight. After a short time he was pursued and overtaken 1 1-2 miles distant, On being asked where he was going, he replied witha cunning look: ‘I am going to Dixie to see my girl.”* Married: On the 27th Mr. James DeJarnatt to Miss Stewart, all of this county.

But little sickness in this com- munity Jack Collins and wife came to the Burg to see the M. D. to have their little boy treated. Atter the exam- ination Collins and wife started for home and got 2 1-2 miles out when they remembered the little tellow was left behind. They made a speedy return in search of him, and found him at Dr. France’s. Sam Stacy. John Steel has purchased Fay’s | : | flouring mills in this city. i Farmers are busy sowing oats and | Summit.

Mr. Editor, your ‘devil’? made us say some ridiculous things in our last communication, which made us teel the the warm. Mrs, H. Howe will teach the Pleas- ant Gap school this spring. She | taught their winter school and ot course, as 1s alwavs the case, she never gets off with one term any place where she teaches. The Union Literary accepted an- other challenge on Wednesday night from the Highpoint society. Next Saturday night is the time set for the discussion. The Sunday schoo! was reorganiz- ed at Summit center last Sunday. *Squire J. B. Innis was elected su- perintendent with S. Dent as assist- ant. Miss Nanie McRoberts, of Har- risonville, will teach the spring term of school in Dist. 3, this township. We understand D. McDaniel’s dwelling house was burned down on Monday night. Mr. McD. hada house burned about two years ago on another farm that joins the one on which he now lives. We have not learned whether his house was insured or not. Seth Macy will leave next Mon- day for San Francisco, Col. Seth has a host of friends who regret to see him go away. He has our best wishes for success in the golden state. We were asked by a certain per- ton if Georgie Orear liked omons. She was referred to Joshua Padget, in care of Miss Sarah Caldwell. ’Squire Wright was seen to don his Summer hat and coat and start out one morning when the mercury stood just above the treezing point, and when asked what it all meant, said, ‘Don’t talk about my clothes, we’ve got a bouncing boy at our house.”’ OBSERVER. bors, Mr. Gunn, already has 20 acres | We fear it is too} hands on the St. Louis & Emporia Colorado, where he has been for sev- eral months. It would be an awful thing for the to go on a strike, for it would com- pletely ruin Foster. D. V. Brown and Duke Simpson were out from Butler a tew days ago shaking hands with the boys of Fos- ter and community. The Foster school board closed the schools Monday. on account of the lack ot money to carry them fur- ther. Little Totty Gover, who has been very sick with the erisipilas, is gain- ing very fast and will soon be around again. Walnut township is goingto stand by Gent. West tor recorder. Kw.

Jefferson City, Mo., March 23.— The state board ot equalization has issued the tollowing circular letter to the assessors and county courts of each county in the state: GENTLEMEN—You are hereby notified that the real estate assess- ment of your county, as made and returned by your assessor for 1885, will most likely be raised by the state board ot equalization — per cent. Said board will be in session atter | Monday, the 2gth, from day to day fur five days, thus giving you an op- y giving portunity to show cause, if any, why | such action should not be had. Very respectfully, [Signed] Jxo. WALKER, State Auditor. The Man for the People. Henry County Democrat. Judge Gantt for congress means a man of experience, brains, strict in- | tegrity, nerve and aggressiveness in | what he believes to be mght. A man who despises sham, fraud and de- ception,and loves to do nght because it is right. A man whom the con- gressional lobby cannot wield, nay even approach. A man in fact who will come back to his constituency as free of blot or blemish as whenhe left them, He 1s sound on all the public questions that affect the union and the west. He will tavor the curtailment of the laws that under republican rulers have tor so many years had a tendency to fill the coun- try with millionaires, and make the rich richer and the poor poorer. He will favor wrenching from the grasp ot corporations the traudulently ob- tained public domain and restoring it to the people, to be used tor the homes of the coming generation. He will favor a readjustment of the tariff to the demands ot the expendi- tures ot the government, and leaving in the pockets ot the peopie the mil- lions annually collected and unneces- sarily hoarded in the vaults ot the government. He will tayor the free coinage of silver, and oppose the importation of foreign labor. In tact, Judge Gantt is a democrat of the Jackson and Jeffersor, school, | and believes in conducting the affairs otf this government strictly in the doctrine of the ‘‘greatest good to the greatest number.’’ He 1s betore the people of this district tor congress on his merits as a man, anda democrat, If he secures the nomination, he will do it by the |most honorable and tair means; would scorn to secure or hold public position through any other methods. He will never try by the manipula- tion of tederal patronage—something | Foster- | Farmers are plowing and most | | have planted their potatoes and | sowed oats.
