The railroad committee 1s laboring hard to complete its work and hope in a few days to be able to report favorably to the company. ) We have the word of Moses Colt Tyler for it that the country has never had a President who resembles "Thomas Jefferson as closely as Mr. Cleveland does. 4 Courtney and Fletcher shipped car loads of hogs and nine car of cattle to St. Louis on Mon- March came in like a meak and lowly lamb; from present indica- “fons it is liable to verity the old Bixim and depart like a lion on a age.

As this is the day tor the election of officers tor the ensuing | | | year, also tor the appoirtment ot delegates to the State Medical As- sociation, all the Physicians are re- quested to be preseut. Flying from our mast head will be tound the township ticket of Mt. Pleasant township which was nom- inated by a primary election on last Saturday. It is a good ticket, a most excellent ticket, one from the people and named by them in the good old way. No caucus nomi- nees can be charged, and the ticket in its entirety, trom top to bottom, should receiye the full party vote, which we have no doubt ir will. We call attention to, and would like for our readers to caretully read the advertisement of J. W. Mc- Veigh, large lumber merchant, to be found on another page. Mr. McVeigh is building up a big trade in the lumber business, and richly deseryes success as an enterprising, pushing, business man. He keeps the very best ot material and sells at the lowest prices. If you con- template building it will pay you to examing his stock and prices, Dr. J. KR. Boyd has purchased the office furniture and fixtures of Dr. Wood and will occupy hereatter, probably moving the first of the week. his office Dr. Boyd has prac- ticed medicine in our midst tor some time as the partner of Dr. Rehick, and has proven himself not only a most excellent physician, but an honorable, ‘clever gentleman, one worthy in every respect the confi- dence and esteem of our citizens. We predict that Dr. Boyd will re ceiye his share ot the practice. Col. A. T. Sims will present his name to the democratic conyention Saturday mght and ask the nomina— tion for city marshal. Col. Sims has been a resident et this city so long and his: qualifications for the position are so well known by our people all will readily admit without argument that he will make one ot the best officers the city has ever had, and that the peace and sanatory of our town will be carefully look after. The convention could not make a wiser, better. or stronger nomination. The following gentlemen tavored us substantially during the past week by paying up and renewing their subscription: E.S. Ewin, Hudson; Wm. Griggs, Altona; John Wood, Tenn.; A. T. Gray, Cal.; C. B. Slayback, Spruce; A. B. Owen, Altona; W. T. Kemper, Prairie Citv; M. L. Kash, Johnstown; Dr. E M. Chastine, Hume; J. A. Nick- ell, Ky.; W. J. Bard, Mulberry; H. Harshaw, Archie; A. J. Voris, Spruce; M. F. Perry, Ballard; G. M. Keller, Lone Oak; Jas. Lewis, Butler; Geo. A. Todd, Butler: T. M. Stark, Ballard; W. D. Beattv, Johnstown; Alien Kyle, Butler; W. W. Eldridge, Butler; Bud Conard, Kansas; L. G. Henry, Butler; J. W. Marshall, Butler; Julia A. La- tollett, Butler; Joseph Latollett, Clinton county, Mu.; Rolla Rand, Rich Hill. A cheap and detective railroad bridge at Forest Hill, on the line of the Boston and Providence railroad, when it has been fully paid for, will have cost that corporation at the lowest computation half a million of dollars. The penalty is severe, but it 1s richly deserved ; and, moreover, the money will have been expended ed on that road. 1 Dr. D. D. Wood intorms us that | e intends to remove the first of the week to B sville, Saline county, where continue the practice ° Dr. Wood has resided our midst so long that we had ; come to look upon him as one of the permanent fixtures and we feel that his removal leaves a blank in| the social as well as the professional | é : | ! world, which will be very hard to | fill. The doctor has gained the confidence of those gentlemen en- | gaged in the profession with him and leaves a host of trends and well wishers behind. He goes among old friends which insures good treat- ment for him. We heartily recom- mend him to the people of Saline county as a gentleman who stands at the head ot his protession, a cleyer, sociable, and genial compan- jon, and a man who can be relied on to tulfill his contracts. Old Landmarks Gone. John Stanfill, an old and respected citizen of Elkhart township, died zt his home on the 16th of old age, having reached the 77th mile post ot life’s journey. We were pained to learn of the death of John Harper, father of county clerk, Thomas L. Harper, which teok place at the latter’s home in Lone Oak township last Wednes- day, with obstruction of the bowels. after an illness of only three days. He bore his suffering with fortitude after he was stricken, and because he did not complain he was not con- sidered to be dangerously il. Mr. Harper was born in Scotland in the year 1819. He came to America in 1854. He moved to Bates county about ten years ago. His occupa- tion was that of railroading, which he followed tor 42 years and only retired trom active business to a quiet farm life on account of injuries he had sustained. He was a man ot considerable means, and was highly respected by all who knew him for bis many noble traits of character. He was burried Thursday in Lone Oak cemetery. With deep regret we are called upon to announce the taking off ot another landmark by the relentless sythe of Father Time in his onward march to eternity. This time it is A. G. Crumly, father ot Dr. F. M. Crumly, otf our city, who died at the home of his second son, Acy C., in Mound township, on Tuesday eve- ning, March 15th, at 11:45 o’clock, of pneumonia. He only suffered about six days from the time he was taken sick. Mr, Crumly was in his 61st year, was born in East Tenn., and moved to Missouri in 1866. In 1871 he located in West Point town- ship, Bates county, where he resided until within a few years, when, on account of failing health he sold his tarm and went to live with his sons, Ue was a sufferer for 30 years with asthma and suffered much inconven- ience from that dread disease during all those years. Mr. Crumly was an honest man, strong in his convictions, true to his friends, a fond husband and kind father. He has been a Mason 1n good standing for 18 years. He leaves an aged wife and three children to mourn their loss. Master Claude Kinney will cele- brate his tenth anniversary in truly a novel way at the home ot his parents this evening at 6 o’clock. Upwards of fitty invitations have been issued to his little friends, (who we have no doubt will all be present) to assist him in making merry the occasion. After enjoying themselves for a couple of hours the entire party will be asked to accept ot his hospitality and accompany him to the opera house to witness the great drama entitled Ten Nights ir a Bar Room. The party will be headed by the Mozart club, and a gay time is an- ticipatea. The middle row of seats in the dress circle has been reserved for the occasion. Claude intends to do things up in true American style if at paralyzes the old man’s pocket book.

John T. Smith is in their wake taking right of way just as tast as he can. W. B. Ewing made an honorable canvass tor the ofhce of school com- missioner and though he was defeat- ed by Mr. Graves, an honorable and talented young gentleman for whom no democrat need blush to cast his vote, his dignihed and manly bearing made tor him a host ot triends who will kindly remember him in the tuture. It might be truthfully said of him that he was victorious in defeat, and 1s one of the rising young men ot Bates coun- ty whose possibilities are unlimited. pra ek NES eee TEE Little Eddie Payton, six years of age, son of Scott Payton, living near Mulberry, while playing last Tues- day, fell and swallowed a ferrule off an umbrella.

Last week he was reading a letter to some of his Congressional asso— ciates which one ot his boys had sent him. He said he and his brother during the time they have lived in Wichita had accumulated, jointly, the snug little sum of $35,000, and that the prospects for.the tuture were unusually bright.—Rural World. Butler merchants should go and do likewise: The Richmond Demo- crat tells of a solicitor for one of the numerous cheap John printing houses who called on a Richmend merchant: “Your argument is very nice and might catch some men who do not stop to think,’’ said the merchant. ‘‘Now let me present my reasons for Patronizing the Democrat, I have my printing done there and pay $2.50 tor five hundred letter heads, Ben was perhaps a littie more care- less or hazardous than usual ana lost his footing.
