Nevada has a fire company, Clin- ton has a fire company. Whats there to hinder Butler from having a fire company? Nothing except in- ertia. The citizens of Lamar have sub- scribed $1,960 to sink an artesian well in that place. A move in But- ler of this kind would be a good thing. We are glad to learn the old hull ot a depot at this place is soori to be enlarged and remodeled. The rail- road company can’t commence work any too soon. Those wanting loans on tarm land or good city property can obtain money at the very lowest rate of in- terest, of P. C. Fulkerson & Co. Money will be furnished immediately on good titles. 2t In last Friday night’s escapade, Mr. Davis proved himself totally unfit and unqualified for the position of nightwatch, and he can well con- gratulate himself that his toolish ac- tion proyed no more serious than it did. Rev. Alexander Walker com- menced a protracted meeting at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning which will continue on through the week. The Times wishes him souls for his hire, and that ‘his meeting may proye a great success. The meeting at the C. P. church will continue on through the week. The building is crowded each eve- ning and the meeting is increasing in interest. Rev. Ward is a clear and logical reasoner and is pouring red hot shot into the ungodly. May his efforts be crowned with success. J. K. Bruglar wants more app cations for first-class loans. 7 per cent. interestand commissions. 4-tf The McFarland Bros.. treated the Times office te a splenid sky-light, which is greeted with prolonged cheers trom the en- tire crew. It was a much needed improvement to the office and one that we do not now see how we did without so long, Three cheers tor the McFarland Bros., and long may they live and prosper, is the wish of the Times force. have There will be a joint debate be- tween members ot the Plain View and Mt. Pleasant literary societies, at the Tripp school house, southwest of Butler, on Thursday night. The question tor debate 1s, Resolved, “that all labor secret organizations are injurious to the members.” Mr. Eldridge 1s making ready to commence work on the new school building, Already he has a large lot of rock on the ground and, if the weather will permit, in a short time the excavation tor the foundation will be completed and the masons put to work. stone In Business Again. 3 Mr, Willis Womack desires us to intorm bis friends and the public that he is in the grocery business again and can be tound at the old stand ot Lyon & Williams, en North Maun street, with a full and complete stock ef groceries, queensware, glassware, canned goods, all kinds of produce, etc., and guarantees his prices as low, it not lower than any house in the city. To proye this he only asks you to call and examine for yourself. His stock is all fresh and of the best quality. Mr. Wo- mack is an enterprising young man and the Times bespeaks for him a liberal share of patronage. 1s assisting Rev. A.

He | has a rare and what appears to be | a very costly collection of Chinese goods and curiosities, including a a number of gods and devils. He descnbes the Reography and topog- raphy ot the Country, the manners and customs ot the People and their strange political and religious beliefs. Tan Kee 1s a fluent and entertaining talker, with just enough native wit to make his lecture appear sparkling and fresh to his audience. He is a wonterful fellow and fully comes up to what he represents himself, in our humble opinion, Only one circum- stance occurred to mar his stay with us, and that was his unwarrantable attack upon one of our principal ministers, the Rev. A. Walker. Tan Kee seems not to recognize the one castom in America, that every public manis a special mark for crit- icism. Whatever Rev. Walker may have said 1n reference to his endorse- ments and credentials it did not li- cease him to mate so bitter an allu- sionto that gentleman as he did in his last lecture. We all recognize Rev. Walker to be a good preacher, a conscientious high-toned Christian gentleman, one who enjoys the con fidence of our whole people. B. & L. Association. The meeting ot our citizens, Thurs- day evening last, to organize a Build- ing and Loan Association, as suggested in the Record last week, was very generally attended, and the nectssary preliminary steps taken. Darid Wykoff was called to the chair and FE, D, Kipp elected secre- tary. Mr. John Blanchert, ot Rich Hill, in a very satisfactory manner, stated the workings of the institution. Remarks by several were made, after which about three hundred and fifty shares of stock were subscribed. The number of shares of the first issue was placed at tour hundred, and the membership fee fixed at fifty cents per share. The following directors were chosen for the first year: R. G. Hartwell, T. J. Day, A. L. McBride, D. N. Thompson, W. W. Cook, J. W. Hannah and f. Ever- ingham. The members will meet next Thurs- day night at the city hall to adopt a constitution and by-laws and attend to other matters. The membership fee will be paid at this meeting. The prospects tor the organization are most flattering and we predict it a prosperous career. | He delivered | | Freshand seasonable Boots and Shoes at regular wholesale prices intended rearrangement of our store for spring trade we must sell off a vast amount of goodscheap.

WEIL & CO. ORTH SIDE SQUARE. Butler was thrown into a fever ot excitement on Saturday morning by a report that Leonard Davis, night- watch, had shot Loyd Fletcher, a young man about eighteen years of age, the night betore. The facts as near as a TimEs re- porter could gather them, are 4s tol- lows: A stable pelonging to Mr. Fletcher had been mysteriously fired that morning and burnt to the ground, and some suspicious char- acters were reported to the Marshal hanging around town, so it was thought best to put on an extra force that might to guard against incendi- arism. Dayis was posted at the junc- tion of Dacota and Savanah streets and Howard Trimble and Loyd Fletcher stationed farther south on Savanah, nearly opposite Mr. Jen- kins’ residence. Trimble and Fletch- er say they were sitting on the edge of the sidewalk engaged in low con- versation when J. Owens came along and Howard threw a light from his dark lantern on him to discover who he was. Hardly had Owens passed on and the lantern closed when a bullet trom a revolver passed between their faces, taking a piece out of Fletcher’s cheek. Joe Smith, who was stationed behind Kent’s livery stable, says he saw the flash of the revolver only a few feet trom Davis’ post and thinking :t was some ene else shooting at Howard ran north through an alley to Dacota street to intercept him, and saw Davis shoot south again. He shouted at him when Dayis broke into a run north, shouting for some one to halt and shooting three times more in rapid succession. When overtaken by Mr. Smith he was very much exci- ted and declared some one else had fired the first two shots at him. When they returned to the Butler Hotel Mr. Smith requested Davis’ pistol, which he gave up and it was tound to be empty, all five of the cartridges had been fired. Fletcher’s wound was but slight, and was dres- sed by Dr. Patton, but it was aclose call for him, for one-half inch to the lett would haye gone directly through his head. It 1s claimed by those present that Davis was drinking and at the time was considerably under the influence of liquor. The best of feeling has not existed between the two night-watch, Davis and Trimble, for some time. Constable Tucker arrested Davis Saturday morning on a_ waarant charging him with shooting with in- tent to kill, and he was hound over by Squire Cannon in the sum of $500 to appear for trial to-day. A Times freporter called on Mr. Davis at his house to get his state— ment in the matter. He was in bed sick and was not inclined to talk but being pressed said that he only shot hree times, and then at a party run- ning north, that he believes he had shot two of the cartridges a week or so before and nevers had replaced them, and he positively denied shoot- ing at Mr. Trimble. $1.00 a pair PHARIS & SOi!

He keeps a Record of all business. tf Carter Wallace of Charlotte town- ship, informs us that his little son 2 years old got a brass button fastened in his throat New Year’s day, and it was not removed until last Saturday night week. The ch:ld was very sick and the doctors could not tell what ailed the little sufferer, thinking it was dipthera. Carter was greatly relieved when the child threw up the button, and 1s now well and hearty. Special Notice. Having disposed of my grocery business, I hereby give notice to all who are indebted to Geo. F. Wil- liams, and also the old firm of Lyon & Williams, to come torward and settle at once and save cost, as I must and intend to settle up, as I expect to remove from Butler. Geo. F.
