Harriman recommended the Kiteting blackber- ry as fruittul and thnfty and with- stands the rust better than any other variety in his experience ; Rust in most varieties 1s reported bad, many old beds being plowed up. The remedy suggested tor rust was to cut the rust stock when it first ap- pears and burn so that the germ may be destroyed. In grape culture sacking was strongly recommended tor perfect grapes. Close cutting of old wood also advised. The theory of a poisonous dew causing the grape rot is gaining cre- dence in the society and a three foot board nailed upon the top of each post where the vine is trained has proved a preventative to the rot. Under vegetables cabbage and potatoes only were discussed. Late cabbage is a failure, although a liberal sprinkling of salt and pepper had been used successfully in de- stroying the worm. Late potatoes promise tair, early ones fine. Dig and spread upon a dry floor in a dark place is advised for the care ot early potatoes, he committee appointed to col- | lect and prepare fruit for the Kansas | City fruit exhibit report having already sent sixteen varieties to cold storage. The society urge the com- mittee to obtain as manv varieties as possible and contest every inch of vantage ground to make Bates the first truit county in the state. George b. Johnson delivered an excellent address on ‘‘What varieties of apples shall we plant for profit?’ After fourteen years’ experience in fruit growing on light, sandy soil in Bates county, he recommends the following varieties: Summer, Early Harvest, Red June, Bonom and Cooper’s Early White; fall, Porter, Maiden Blush, Rambow and Bailey’s Sweet ; winter, Ben Davis, Jonathan, Grimes’ Golden and Lansinburg’s Pippin. An invitation trom J. B. Durand to meet with him on the third Satur- day in October was accepted. The September meeting will be held at Daniel Cressap’s, near Sprague. on the second Saturday instead of the third, as many of the members ex- pectto attend the fair in Kansas City. Summit Township.

Stevens is holding a pro- tracted meeting at the Union church in Deepwater township. There was a man noseing around in this township last week finding out how much corn was raised in this section. Of course they will tell us what they will pay for our grain and also what we have got to pay for merchandise. George Boream has been consid - erably annoyed by tramps the past week or two.

A good record was made throughout by the shooters. Butler can boast of an excellent gun club and we are glad to see them take an interest in getting strangers to come to our town. Horse Thief Captured. Mr. R. N. Wright, living near Burdett, this county, was in the city Monday, getting out the necessary papers to return to this State one Robert Thomas, who in company with a young man named Karly Hardy had stolen a span of horses from him on the night of May 25th, last. The two animals were found near Troy, Kansas, and one of the thieves, Tboma~, was captured near by at the hou-: of a man named Sam Parker. dir. Wright got wind of the whereabouts ot his horses and the thief from a letter which had been written by 4 man trom the a5ove named place in Kansas, to the Burdett postmaster. It seems the man writing the letter found out that the were cioned that wrote iring about th postmaster kuowing Fs had lost two horses handed him the letter which put him on the track that led to the capture. Prosecuting boys. id stolen the horses and susp1- | and boys the Burd y were stolen from 1 Beall lett Mon- Joseph, where Thomas is confined in jail, and will return with him as seon as he can make the trip. Thomas when tured made a full confession and told Mr. Wright sere he could find hrs horses, and in a short time the old gentleman had them, the parties in whose pos- session they were, giving them up without any trouble. He 1s after Hardy and expects to have him be- tore long. Larrr. —Itis reported that Hardy was killed in a cornfield while re- sisting arrest. sheriff St. Duty day for A Str In the dim nearly torgotten past a worthy family consisting ot several, it no more, emigrated trom some part of the United States to this county. I presume it was on account of the sterility of the soil, enormous burdens incident to that country that this family of several came west, and that familv were the forefathers and foremothers of the tollowing remarks. His name as tar as I can ascertain from all the data before, and some that I acci- dentally procured from others is (I with- hold the name, you may guess the cir- cumstances). Mr, Esq. As to his birth or pirti'-place all the history ot this country so tar ever written is a dense blank and of distressing silence. As tar as I know by personal observation or experience, he never was born, but the first time I had the mistortune to fix my ardent gaze on his anatomy last Saturday a week ago, nge History. he was a right smart hump of a fellow; j spelling in one or more syllables in a blue back speller I think. After which he gradually got to spelling more and could read some. In early lite Mr. Esq. devel- oped a strong aversion to manual labor, and he still votes on that side ot the ques- tion with great firmness, showing himselt to be a man to be entirely and implicitly depended upon in this sense; hence he is never involved in labor strikes and such. He has never tully recovered his usual health and vivacity since uniting with the Israelitish church, which event occurred some months since. The severity of the initiating rites greatly unnerved him and caused considerable alarm among his coolest friends. It is confidently hoped that he will soon regair his wanted health and spirits. One ot the marked charac- teristics in Mr. Esq?s personal contour is the size and shape ot his head, it having the usual make in front with a rear at- tachment of abnormal dimensions which is somewhat feartul for any ordinary man to contemplate. It is a seeming Sort of rear reservoir to contain thoughts or a sort of caboos to carry extra passen- ers or baggage. This protuberance was doubtless built for some wise puzpose tor which the world has not yet found out, as no very decided degree of wisdom has ever been displayed by the owner of it. But we will let this back varanda of his be it possible and notice that Mr. Esq. is always caretul to take off his lett shoe last and often gazes long and anxious- ly into his mirror to see if there is any marked improvement in his phiz. He dotes on good clothes and cooked victuals and can smile in six different languages as the occasion may require. | As an author and poet he ranks away up, being the writer of the celebrated poem that opens with these lines: 0, Ballie Dooiy, sweet Ballie Dooly > As on the highest seat we stand,» a= —— aay in mirth and glee our c minal cnones: ° om and the co; ittee sce, en We will view the convention o’er And table their motions for ever more, S Ballie Dooly, sweet Ballie Dooly, ou’ve helped us out Ballie Dooly. res Far. paid these hands is from 75 cents to highly j , Jackson, issued the papers | The Bigvest and Best Butler Tuesday August lst.
