At | the conclusion of his remarks, Col. T. H. Crockett was called on and addressed the meeting in his usual happy and pleasing style. Mr. Bru- gler, chairman of the Bates county immigration society, made a report, showing that several of the town- ships had already raised their pro- rata of the funds required. The meeting instructed Mr. Brugler to appoint a finance committee of five to at once proceed to solicit the funds necessary to admit Bates Co. into the Southwest immigration so- ciety. Gwynn, while not, Farmers from every section of the country were in the city Saturday, and all report the outlook for a corn and oats crop good. They say the season is a little backward, but the corn planted is coming up nicely and doing well and the prospect so lar is good for a rousing crop. We learn the local optionists of Rich Hill are making preparations to open their batteries on that city. It is said that the services of Mr. Shields the noted campaigner have been secured, and as the opposition will make a strong protest we antici- pate a lively fight, provided the question is submitted. Inthe mean time we will watch the fence Col. Tom roosts on. The thief and rascal that takes Charlie Lewis for a sucker and soft snap generally comes to grief. On last Thursday one of these gentry by the name of W. W. Wiley, hailing from Nevada, attempted to sell him a pair of horses, buggy and harness. The trade was soon consummated, but Charlie becoming a little suspi- cious from Wiley’s actions, deferred the payment on the same until he could investigate the matter a little. It did not take him long, however, to find out that his suspicions were well founded and that the outfit was mortgaged. Mr. Dick Wright, of Nevada, instructed Charlie to hold both the team and Wiley. Charlie did as instructed and Saturday offi- cers came up from Nevada and ar- rested and returned him and the team to that city. This is the third or fourth of thieves for Charlie this year, and one is now serving put a six months’ sentence in the county jail. The county court granted a tem- porary injunction in the case of the Keith & Perry coal mining company ys. Bruee Bros., enjoining them from building a switch across leased land of the plaintiffs.

Hensley, two of Hudson township’s most en- ergetic and wide-awake young far- mer boys, pulled our latch string Saturday, and Mr. Hook, as has been his custom for years planked down the requisite in advance for another year’s subscription to the booming Times. Both young men are lead- capture ing democrats in their section, and are wild for Cleveland. T. Hiter Crockett and wife after an absence of over a year visiting relatives and friends in Kentucky, have returned to Butler to make it their future home, and Mr. Crockett assures us that he has burned the bridges and will never again cross the boundary line of Missouri. Mr. Cc. will profession in this city. Jointly with their numer- ous friends in this community the Times weleomes them back again. A Correction. Ricu Hitt, Mo., May, Isss J.D. Avie, Butler, Mo.

He informed us that his father’s health had been quite poorly for some time, and he had suffered greatly from neuralgia the past week. He also informed us that during the storm Wednesday evening last the lightning killed a valuable mule for him. The loss was partly covered by insurance. Chas. McCants a former typo on the Democrat has opened a grocery store in the Sackett building on North Main street. Charlieis an in- dustrious young man and the Trves wishes him success.
