Gantt was in at- tendance at circuit court the last of the week. He came over on the Burch—Glazebrook contest case, but the opposition attorneys saved their fees and reputation by withdrawing the suit. Frank Latollett'returned fron: his Texas trp Friday. He reports a pleasant time, and from his talk we guess he caught the tever bad. To show the crop and soil of the Lone Star state he brought back with him a bunch of green grass in one pocket and a baJl of gumbo mm the other. Uncle John Atkison had the mis- tortune to lose his barn by fire Satur- day mghton his farm tour miles south ot Butler, besides the barn a- bout two hundred dollars worth of tarming machinery, grainery and crib with 1300 bushels of corn was distroyed. He estimates his loss at about $2,000, fully insured, Mr. Burch is a clever gentleman but be made a serious mistake in listening to ill-advice of friends. He was pushed into this contest case and lost considerable money, and we imagine that he could not dis pose of the political capital he made out of it tor any great amount. The Bates County Democrat last week dropped its blanket shape and came Out in an eight page torm,with a new head. We predict the change will be heartily approved by its readers, as the paper will be much more convenient to handle than it was under its former four page style. Rev. Railsback, of Kansas City, Mrs. Judge D. A. DeArmond re- turned home Thursday evening from Lamar, where she had been visiting the past week.

W. Legg. The advertisement tells you where his place of business is. Mr. Legg is an excellent mechanic and we hope our people wiil patronize him and sustain a deserving home enterprise. An artesian well in the court yard would be just the thing, as it would furnish plenty of water tor all the business houses around the square and also be a great accommodation to the country people who come to Butler during the heated summer months with their teams. The work can be done now for a small cost by the parties who have recently pur- chased the steam drill near Adrian. The Times is strongly in tavor of the well. What say our business men? Rev. Sam Small the great revival- ist, will be in Butler some time during next month and assist Rev. Noland in a protracted meeung at the Methodist church (south). His coming will be a great religious treat to church-going people of Butler, and we would suggest in advance that some more commodious and convenient place than the church be secured in time, as the small church would not hold one-tenth of the people that will attend the meet- Ings.

Keep started tor Butler; on leaving home kissed the babe that was laying on the bed. Mrs. Keep was attending to her du- ties in another room for some time, then stepped to the clothes line, when she heard the child calling ‘*mama,”’ she paid no particular at- tention to it thinking that it called because it was lonesome, but as it became more earnest she stepped in and tound the ted on fire. The child appreciating its danger had crawled down and cuddled in the curner of the bed from where she called for help. Had it not have; shown wisdom beyond one ot its age it would probably have perished in the flames, as it is only about two years old. The fire had burned through the covers into the tick.— Adrian Advertiser: FLOUR, Thave and will keep on hand a large stock of Inde- pendence flour which 1 will sell'very low.

An exbibition was given at the close of the winter term of the Tripp school, on last Friday evening, con- sisting of recitations, declamations, dialogues, tableaux and songs. In spite of the inclemency of the weath- er a large crowd was present, and the entertainment was pronounced first-class by all present. Miss Lillie Patterson, as teacher, has given general satistaction. We have a well written article descriptive regret that it came to hand too late for publication.

As we have been living in Mays- burg this week, we will try to en- lighten the world concerning our town. The new year has wrought many changes in this vicinity. L, O.

There will be an unusaal amount ot moving here this spring, quite a number of last years renters having already emigrated. We understand that P. R. Long, of Wisconsin. who bought the Snow tarm on Smoky Row a year ago, will be at P. Ewing’s the 18th, with his family, to take possession ot his tarm. Mr. Long isa cousin of P. Ewin and will pea valuable addi- tion to the county. Uncle Brown Coontz, ot Kansas, 1s in the neighborhood for the pur- pose of renting his farms. We learn that he rented the old tarm to Wn. Irich. Uncle Dave Gilbert wants a thous- and bushels more corn, uncle Dave uses lots of corn. He is feeding 75 cattle now and centempiates buying about that many more. A. B. Mayes, brother of J. M. Mayes is visiting here. Mrs. Cannon of Mayesburg 1s quite sick at her sons at Creighton. Mayesburg has not escaped the railroad fever. We say if it wants to come this way, let it come, we re- peat let it come. Mr. Mayes proposes to lay outs town on Smoky Row at Bryant and Ewing’s corner. Don't know what he will call it. L. O. Carleton is courting at But- ler this week. An infant child of B. F. Gregory’s was burried last Sunday. Nath Bradley’s school will begin about the 1st of March, we learn that Mr. Bradley will leave our neighborhood after his school closes. JAKE.
