Ford, of East Boone township, was in the city the last of the week and gave us a pleasant call. He said he had traded his farm and probably would remove this fall to DeKalb country. See notice of his sale in another column. Miss Anna Harper, of Stockton, is the guest of Miss Cooper. Geo. Canterbury rusticated in the country several days last week. The Beale farm, containing 180 acres, lying about one-half mile west of the city limits, was purchased by Ben B. Canterbury the latter part of last week. Price paid, we understand, was five thousand dollars. This is one of the finest farms in this county, well improved and every foot tilable land, and is well worth $100 an acre, and just how it sold for the above insignificant sum is what bothers our real estate men. Jas. H. Brough, known to all of our citizens, having been in the grocery business in Butler for a number of years, has accepted a po- C. S. Ewing, our kind farmer friend, of Deepwater township, made the hearts of the Tres‘corps glad and won the everlasting friendship of the printer by presenting two fine watermelons on Saturday.

Lefker returned from Monegaw Springs Sunday evening. Mrs. Alonzo Hunter, of Parsons, Kansas, is visiting her parents in the city. Mrs. Dr. Pyle and Miss Nanhie visited in Kansas City the last of the week. Chas. Pharis has been quite sick sick with malarial fever for several days. Esq. J. T. Butler, of Cornland, dropped in to see us Monday while The rain which passed north of this place Friday last did consider- able damage in and around Clinton. It is reported as the largest rainfall in many years, and the lightning did much damage to houses and trees. On Saturday Capt. H. P. Nickell shipped two car loads of fat cattle, and J. B.-and Green Walton, five loads to St. Louis, and Short & Williams one car load from this depot and five from Adrian to Chicago. Notwithstanding the thermometer stood at 98 to 100 Saturday, . Butler was alive with farmers and our mer- chants did a driving trade. The main reason for the increase in trade in this city is that our merchants sition as traveling salesman for Beck- ham, Mercer & Co., wholesale grocers, Kansas City. We congratulate this firm in being so fortunate as to secure Mr. Brough’s services, as he has had large experience in the grocery busi- ness, is a good business man and an honorable, clever gentleman. Dr. Wm. E. Craig and Miss Letha Tedford were married last evening, August 10th, at the residence of the bride’s parents, on the south side. They left on the evening train for the doctor's old home at Tipton, where they will remain a short time with relatives and friends, and on their return home will be tendered a reception by Dr. King, chief sur- geon of the hospital at Sedalia. The affair was quite private, only members of the family being present.—Rich Hill Herald. We understand Dock Jenkins, living about six miles north of this place, had a narrow escape from be- ing killed by lightning Friday last. He was stacking hay at the time the storm came up, and had just topped off his last stack and got down to the ground when a bolt of lightning struck the center of the stack in the very spot where, only a few moments before, he had been standing and passed through the hay to the ground, boring a large hole. The hay was set on fire, but the hard rain which set in at the time ex- tinguished the flames and saved not only the stack on fire, but several others adjoining it. We are sorry to report that Mrs. R. R. Pierce is very low at her resi- dence on South Main street. She never recovered from the blow re- ceived by her husband, Rev. R. R. Pierce’s tragic death.

Canterbury, took in the city on a prospecting tour. Both are old Missourians, and a few years residence in Kansas and mixed schools has disgusted them with that state, hence their visit to Butler. The city counc’! shor'd look after the sanitary interests of the town a little more closely. There sre many places in the corporate limits where large piles of manure, in barn lots and alleys, are allowed to remain for months at a time to the annoyance of neighbors; outhouses are in a bad T.

Mr. P. says that he had just returned from a trip through Vernon and Cedar counties, and re- ports a good crop and recent rains. W. M. Mills, druggist. at Foster, came over to Butler Monday. From him we learn that Foster has taken a new lease on life. Not a vacant dwelling house in the town, a large force of miners at work in the mines, which force will probably be doubled in the next thirty days, a pay roll of about three thousand dollars.
