The Bates county horticultural so- ciety met at the residence of J. R. Harriman, west of the city Saturday, and we understand was very well at- tended. A pleasant and profitable time was had. ‘OTICE TO TEACHERS :—Public Ex- ns for the benefit of those per- desiring to teach in Bates county, be held on the 3d Saturday of each : th in the Qhio street school house, Mer, Mo., and on the 1st Saturday of res nth in the West side school house, | , Hill, Mo., the examination com- 9 Bocing each day at 9 0’clock, A.

Lamb has finished ths enu- meration of the school children and turned his list over to the county clerk. The number enrolled is nine hundren and fifteen children over six and under twenty years of age. Judge Gantt spent Saturday in the city. Keith & Perry coal com- pany have secured his legal services in the damage suits brought against the company growing out of the mine disaster. The efforts of certain parties in spent a couple of days last office over McBride’s store, on the north side. Farmers tell us the cut worm is very bad, and doing considerable damage to corn. If yon want nice fresh groceries, goto Wright & Walls, west side of the square. As usual the city was literally ‘packed Saturday, and our merchants did a driving business. Joe Myers went to Omaha the first part of last week to attend the foneral of his mother. Harry Grantly, one of the fore- most and most enterprising citizens of Appleton City, has moved to St. Louis. J. M. McKibben is improving the appearance of his lot on Ohio street witha new picket fence and side- walk. Quite a lively debate is going on over immersion in the Foster News, between J. G. McPeak and J. B. Fly. Try Wright & Walls’ new grocery store on the west side square. Lewis Hoffman has selected T. T. McFarland as his right hand man in his novelty store, which will be opened in afew days. The Mo. Pacific pay car broke down near Adrian Friday and de- layed the south bound passenger train several hours. E. A. Ewing, of the firm of Swear- inger, Bowden & Co., of Nevada, spent Sunday and Monday in the city with his family. Prof. C. H. Dutcher, of the War- rensburg Normal school, arrived in town Friday and spent a couple of days visiting the family of Dr. Tuck- er. Mrs. Seth Cope, of New Home township, has brought suit in our %s circuit court against her husband for divorce. Mr. Cope, we understand, left Friday for Nebraska. We are requested by Clerk John C. Hayes to say that circuit court will not convene until Monday, June lth. Grand and petit jurors and all others interested will govern themselves accordingly. Sheriff Glazebrook spent Friday in Rich Hill and served papers in twelve suits against the Keith & Perry Coal Company. These suits are for damages growing out of the recent mine explosion. Wright & Walls will sell you gro- ceries as cheap as the cheapest. Go and see them. We call attention to the law card of Col. T. H. Crockett in another column. Col. Crockett is too well known to the people of Bates coun- ty to need an introduction at our hands. He is a genial, whole souled gentleman, anda lawyer of ability; Butler to defeat Hon. R. T. Railey, of Cass county, for delegate to the national convention, might have ac- complished the result of working off an over production of spleen, but, as it appears to us, it was mighty poor politics. Cousin Joe Hart, who for the past 12 years has been connected with the dry goods house of Aaron Hart, left on Monday for Paola, Kansas, where he will visit friends fora short time and then go to Mississippi and locate.—Record. As a result of the recent mine ex- plosion near Rich Hilla short time ago, quite a large number of damage suits have been filed in our cireuit court against the Keith & Perry Coal Company. Prominent attorneys will appear on both sides and the litiga- tion promises to be long and tedious. The Mo. Pacific railroad officials are striking Holden a severe blow by moving their machine shops from that town. The officials first look after their own interest, then the town’s and public. Holden, like Sedalia, must suffer the conse- quences. W. S. Mudd, the banner merchant of Burdette, was in the city Friday on business connected with the pro- bate court. He said the rain and cold weather together are keeping the chinch bugs back in his neigh- borhood, and so far they are doing little or no damage. “The Sedalia circus can not be transferred to St. Louis—not this a The abose isthe only editorial on the republican state ticket nominat- ed at Sedalialast week, which ap- peared in that staunch and reliable paper, the Globe-Democrat, and as Bro. Aus. seems to have overlooked it, we cheerfully call his attention to the same, and ask a careful perusal, and then do us the kindness to pass it down to Bro. Huckeby. The firm of Bennett. Wheeler & Co., is one of the solid institutions of this city. This firm carries a full line of groceries, hardware, cuttlery, pumps, wind mills, seeds and an im- mense line of farm machinery of all the leading makes, and a fine line of buggies, phetons and farm wagons. It is a pleasure to do business with this firm and their liberality and business sagacity deserves the suc- cess which the firm has achieved. The republican party of Bates county must not hold Bro. Aus. re- sponsible for not having a leading editorial in the Record, on the re- publican state ticket nominated at Sedalia last week. We have each day since the convention read care- fully the Kansas City Journal and Globe-De the two leading republi s of the state, and not Bro.

He has had a very serious time with a sore arm, caused by an old wound re- ceived during the war. A. E. Parkinson, a prominent at- torney of Kansas City, cousin of Judge J. D. Parkinson, was visiting the latter Monday, and in company with the judge paid the Tres office a pleasant call. $20.00 cash buys the best Road cart in the United States of Ben- nett, Wheeler & Co. The closing exercises of the public school, this week promise to be very interesting, and the teachers and pupils are making a special ef- fort. The patrons of the schools should attend the exercises and lend their presence and encourage the children. Filley captured the republican state convention at Sedalia this week. He had himself, Warner and a Hannibal darkey named Pelham chosen delegates-at-large. | Widdi- combe was beaten and will lose the chairmanship of the state commit- tee. The Adrian Register suspended publication Tuesday of last week. The office and fixtures will be sold under chattle mortgage held by Rev. F. T. Shore, of Tipton, Mo., Satur- day. W. H. Gibbens, its editor, we understand has aceptced a position on the Kansas City Times, and will move to that city. Last Sunday was a dry day in St. Louis, under the new ‘order of things there every saloon and drink- ing place was closed up and nota drop of spirituous liquors could be had in the city. It is gratifying to see this great reformation going on in our large cities, and the Sunday laws so rigidly enforced by its offi- cers. On the 15th inst. a competitive trial between the Austin Steel road machine and the Moore road grader was had in New Home township, and on the 17th between the same machines at Hume. The Austin won in both contests. New Home pur- chased two machines and Howard township one. Judge D. V. Brown, who is agent for the Austin set up the cigars to the boys all round. Milk shake, lemonade, and all kinds of temperance drinks at Dick- insheets, north side square. W. F. Kingston, editor of the Elk City, (Kan.,) Eagle, spent sever- al days in the city visiting his pa- rents, and gave the Tres a pleasant call Monday. He reports the pros- pect for a crop in his section very flattering at the present time. He also said the greatest drawback to his section of the state was the ex- cessive taxes on the people, which amounted to $7.20 on the $100 val- uation. Bates county farmers, are you not glad you live in poor old Missouri? Ira Summers, a young man from West Point township, was in the city Sunday, consulting one of our prominent attorneys and ‘also the prosecuting attorney, in regard to arresting his father on a very serious charge. Both attorneys refused to have anything to do with the matter and advised the young man to return home. The young fellow is the son of John Summers. a highly respected citizen of the above township. A Tues reporter interviewed the young man in regard to the charges he was ' making against his father and readi |ly came to the cor that his ! story had no foundation and that | the young man’s mind was evidently | unbalanced.

Pleasant township board re- | duced the levy for the unsuing year on the old Mt. Pleasant railroad debt, the amount collected last year being in excess of the amount re- quired to pay the interest. The re- publican idea is that ‘a surplus is a good thing, therefore we expeet friend Austin to enter a strong pro- test on this retrenchment action of a democratic board. Mr. Sam Welch is having a seri- ous time with one of his eyes and Dr. Boulware entertains fears that he will lose the sight. Several weeks ago he had the misfortune to run a hedge thorn in his eye, but as it did not give him much pain at the time it did not cause him any uneasiness. It soon became inflamed, and he is suffering great agony. Public exercises will be held in each department of the public schools Thursday afternoon May 24. An entertainment will be given at the Opera house Friday at 3 o'clock, consisting of exercises from each de- partment of the schools. Saturday an Educational Exhibit will be given in the west school building, from 9 o'clock a. m. to 4p. m. original work in all the branches taught, besides a comparison of work done now and 7 or 8 years ago, may be seen. Satur- day evening at 8 o'clock commence- ment exercises at the Opera house. You are invited to attend all these exercises. Don't forget the Educa- tional Exhibit. The closing exercises of the But- ler public schools will be held this week, Thursday, Friday and Satur- day. An interesting feature of these exercises will be an Educational Ex- hibit, consisting of original work done in all the branches, by the pu- pils of the different grades. Also a comarison of the work done seven and eight years ago, with that done now. This is a new feature of edu- cational enterprise and will give pa- rents and others interested, an op- portunity to examine, at leisure, into the efficiency of our public schools. Do not miss this opportunity to ex- amine the work just as it comes from the hands of the pupils. Exhibit will be open from 9 o’clock a. m., to 4p. m., May 26th, in the new school building. The Adrian Advertiser seems to be throwing cold water on the immi- gration movement in this county. The Advertiser ought not to do this. The movement is far from being dead in Bates, several townships have raised their quoto and the com- mittees are still working. President Brugler is working hard in the mat- ter and the soliciting committee ap- pointed by him Monday for this city and township are putting in good work in a quiet way, and our citizens are responding liberally. It is true, the people have not taken hold of this important movement in that spirit of enthusiasm which they should, but the fire which has been smouldering for the past weeks has finally broken out, and an earnest pull will be made from this on and we have the best assurance that old Bates will come up to the scratch all right. The movement is of great import- ance to every farmer and citizen in this county, and it is to be regretted has not met with more enthusiastie favor. But then, be this as it may, it comes with poor grace for a news- paper published in the county, and to which the people look forinforma- tion and suggestions in regard to matters which greatly interest them, to be casting slurs, throwing mud and pouring cold water. The Trves is deeply interested in the immigra- tion movement and is desirous of seeing the people take hold of it in earnest, and all pull together for the benefit of the county. ee Burlington Junction Post:—"De- era house, Monday night. alin acts!
