LOCAL ITEMS J. K. Brugler wants 2 lot of good farm loans, running trom 6 to 18 months. This 1s a good chance for farmers to get short loans, or sell short real estate paper. The Butler Times comes to the rescue of Marsbal Willis and declares him ‘‘a brave and competent officer who enjoys the fullest confidence of his superiors,’? and adds: ‘*We think it time the papers cease to harass him, and if they have a griev- ance strike at the tountain head.’’— | ————— The hog market 1s on the rise.

If anything is to be done, it 1s time for action, and the Times would suggest that the ladies of the different churches or- ganize an aid society and take the matter in hand without further delay. Winter is upon us with all its fierce- ness and we are reliably intormed that there are a number of destitute famihes in our town, several of whom are widow women with their children.

We are intormed that Dwight Hartwell and Miss Lola Braggins were married in St. Louis last Satur day. Dwight is son of R. G.

Will Tucker carried off the blue ribbon on the deer hunt. He killed five deer and wounded several more which he did not get.
