Allison and Mrs. Katie Tuttle were married at Orchard Springs, Kan., yesterday evening. Prof. Allison and the estimable lady he has chosen for his wife are well and favorably known to the people of Butler, having resided here for many years, and their host of friends join with the Times in wishing them well- “May you both live long and _bros- per.” They will visit Kansas City and other points, returning to Butler Friday evening. We loan the cheapest and best money in the county. Come and see us. 39 tf. Pracn & Spracve. We suggest the following name for Col. T. Hiter Crockett’s new boy: Thomas Jefferson Grover Cleveland Francis Thurman John William Hen- ry Clay Gabe (that’s for us) Crockett. If the Col. will give him that name he will be almost sure to be a candi- date for the “Legislatur."—“Gabe” in Rich Hill Review. Book satchels, straps “and all other school supplies at Weaver's. C. A. Denton is at Butler to-day on legal business and completing ar- rangements for removing his family there at an early date. Mr. Denton’s abstract business necessitates this change, besides he no doubt thinks that with Judge Templeton at this end of the line and himself at the other, the firm can cover a larger legal field than as the matter is now arranged.—Fricay’s Review. Six per cent money; payable on or before maturity. Money paid promt- ly when papers are executed. 39 tf. Peacu & Spraave. New Millinery. Our fall stock of new millinery has arrived and for beautiful styles can not be beat.

Slates, Ink, Pens, Holders, Pencils and the finest line of stationary in Butler at Weaver's. Col. Charles H. Morgan and Col. H. Martin Williams will speak at Sheldon September 15th, the occa- sion being a grand democratic rally. Everybody in this part of the coun- try know Charlie Morgan,personally, and everyone knows Col.

Splendid time for drying fruit if you do not care what you say. Some few are cutting corn I see. Boys, none of that in mine. Our ma’s sisters up here are busy making apple butter, and pa’s broth- ers are making cider. Judge C. D. seems to be our trad- ing man now having bought a num- ber of hogs and some cattle. Miss Williams has a music class at Sam Kersey. Two by two the young folks (us boys and girls) met at the residence of W. B. Tyler, and enjoyed them- selves at another ice cream and cake, music by Misses Buck, Williams and Douglass, after which all left for their homes with best wishes to all and hopes of another such gathering s00n. We to-day number 64 in our Cleve- land and Thurman club and yet room for many more. will M. L. Embree comes home Satur- day nights, sometimes, he is out call- ing on the men and women of Bates county. I expect he gets into Ver- non and Cass counties sometimes. Grover Cleveland has a boy and so has Sam Kersey, and Geo. Price a girl, mothers doing well, but little hopes of fathers convalescent, as should heen two added to the C. & T. list but as it is, will have to go to the union labor party.

Greer to Ill., Dick Greer to Pettis county, Dan Koontz and Mr. Biggs Jr. to Ft. Smith, where we hope all will do well. Mr. Edrington and family passed through uur city Friday going south visiting. Tom short will pay top prices for setting hens and geese. Tobe says Bill Hughes went to Lone Jack with 5 gallons of cider and could not sell it until it was vin- egar, which accounts for his staying so long. Sam Kersey is the boss mule buy- er of Spruce, he has quite a drove of of 1 and 2 year old mules, he is one of our best farmers. Charley, good bye, my old friend, may you live long, and prosper in your new home. Doe. Me. seems to be quite busy of late. A.C. Edrington has found new fields of labor, success, my boy. Tom Starks and wife, visited rela- tives in Clinton » few daysago, and from Tom’s looks we think the water did him good. Sam McFarland says the grocery business at Ballard is good. Disie Haggard is out almost day and night with the dear people, he shakes with his left hand now his right having played completely out.

When the time rolled around you could see at a glance that the whole concern was all one sided and the good side happened to be the democratic, for when the minutes were read 50 names were enrolled with a good prospect of as many more by the next meeting. When Capt. Price gives us a call now and | the business of the club was dispos- then to cheer them here below, no more blues with him. We received a good letter from a democratic friend yesterday living in Anderson. Cal., he has only been there a short time and is not satis- fied, too many Chinamen there. If you hear any news please re- port to me and it will be forwarded to the Times. Your Frrenp. Neighborhood Scraps. Hurrah for Cleveland! Playing marbles and talking poli- tics seems to be the order of the day at Ballard. Misses Minnie Barton and Mamie Embree are visiting the family of Mr. Douglass. The ice cream sup- per given in honor of them came off jubilantly, everyone enjoyed them- selves splendid, cake, ice cream and cider by the wholesale. Mr. D.'s is a good place to go to enjoy youre self, at least Mr. S. M. thinks so. Mr. R. Cole is visiting in Urich. “Wo Moll!” Would like to know how that started? heard some one say, ask J. C. or perhaps Lee E. could tell you better. Prof. I. F. Crow is attending the Institute at Butler, fitting himself for a teacher. What is the attraction up west, Dan E.? We saw Mr. Beatty flying along the road a few Sundays ago with a Cloud. Miss H. howis your Board getting along? better keep him in the shade for fear the sun might warp him. Miss E. W. how do you like Tee tering? The republicans seem to be all iurning democrats, hurrah for them! The Altona political picnic came off, attended by a large crowd and all seemed to enjoy themselves. A great number of candidates were present, the speaking immense. Law- yer Smith delivered an interesting speech, also Messrs. Badger and Boxley; Mr. D. L. Haggard is rath- er young and bashful and before so many ladies couldn’t say much, but did pretty well for “his size.” All you see now is Cleveland hats. NerGHBoRHOOD Scraper. Lone Oak Items. Mr. Epivor: As no one seems to inform the booming Trwes of what transpires in this section of the good old county of Bates, we will endeav- or to write up a few squibs if found worthy of a small space in the Trves. Every one seems to know but lit- tle about what amount of corn there will be, but just ask any one who is running for sheriff, or any of the of- fice positions to be filled this fall and you will soon be informed. A few weeks ago the democrats of Lone Oak township met at the Star school house to take steps in organ- izing a Cleveland club. After getting everything un- der headway and a night appointed to meet in the future toelect officers the crowd was addressed by splen- did speeches from Boxley, Badger | and S. P. Francisco. and =Thurman ed of the house which was crowded with democrats and a few republi- cans, prohibitionists and union labor men, who had been wandering round trying to find the way from cheap labor and dear clothing, free whisky and boodle, rat pie and monopoly, by the way of Tippecanoe from Chi- na, when they were put on the right road by an elegant speech from W. E. McElree on the tariff, a few re- marks by Geo. G. Glazebrook. can- didate for sheriff, and rousing sock- dolliger from J. W. Badger, candi- date for prosecuting attorney. At Then the club ad-} journed tomeet at Willow Branch | the close of the speech from Badger three cheers were given for Grover Cleveland, the next president of the United States, and then adjourned to meet on next Wednesday night, Sept. 5th, at the Star school house, south of Butler. Let us have a big turnout, everybody invited. Good speakers will be present. — Communicated. To the democratic voters of north- ern Bates: T have been solicited by many of my old friends living in the central and northern parts of Bates county to announce myself as a candidate for the office of judge of the county court of the northern district of the county. Now, sir, I am not an office-seeker, but should £ conclude to submit my name to be announced in your paper ag a candidate for that office, I want it distinctly understood that, should I be elected to that office, my first official act will be to annihilate all the chinch bugs in the county. My second official act will be to prohibit cholera, which is causing so many deaths among hogs and chick- eus in this county. My third official act will be to quarantine the entire line between Bates county and the state of Kan- sas, to prohibbit the invading of Bates county's soil by grasshoppers. My fourth legal act will be to make a general order prohibiting the vital effect of chills and fevers, that so frequently cause death of some of the citizens of the county, which disease is caused from eating water- melons in the fall months. Should the voters of Bates county (especially in the northern district) conclude to elect me to this office, they must do so with the understand- ing that I intend to carry out this platform. D. G. Newsom. Round Prairie Items. Hedge cutting seems in order. Mr. Joe Brown went to Mont- rose Monday to cut broomcorn. Miss Lena Hall returned from Pet- tis county, Saturday with a Cleve- \land pin at her throat. One more convert. Miss Adah Housley is visiting rel- atives and friends in Rich Hill this week. Quite a number of ladies attended the democratic club meeting Friday, and still the good work goes on. | Miss Hattie Cowley and George | are shaking with chills, nothing se- rious as yet. | Several of our prominent republi- cans went to Appleton City Thurs- day to attend a rally and hear | J.

Coop- er; vice president, Wm. Kelley; sec- retary, Paul Walton; treasurer, Un- cle John Daniels; committee, Geo. Phelps, Chas. Middleton and Pat Murphy. The house was then ad- dressed by Wm.

After Many Ye. to His V There stepped off the 9 o'clock south bound passenger train at this place last Sunday morning a rather elderly gentleman named Hinsley, who was en route to St. Clair county, where resides his wife, whom he had not seen for twenty-seven iong years. The couple lived in Moniteau coun- ty. this state, and when the war broke out Hensley went into service, but at the close of the trouble did not doas the other survivors, return to his family, which then consisted of a wife and four children, and his whereabouts ever since has been a mystery. His wife, Jennie, remained single for a number of years, but fi- nally married a man named Kephart, with whom she lived for some time, but who subsequently deserted her, went to the Indian Territory and married an Indian woman. Mrs. Hensiey later Kephart, re- mained in St. Clair county, but one of her daughters, Ella Hensley mar- ried a gentleman by the name of Morritt and they lived in Moniteau county, their old home. One week ago last Saturday, Hens- | ley, who had net been heard of since the war, went back to Moni- teau county where he found his mar- ried daughter, and she informed him that his wife was still living and re- sided in St. Clair county. He wrote his wife two letters, and on last Sun- day morning passed through Schell | City on his way to see her. Hensley gave the reporter no an- swer as to why he did not return to his family. Directly after the close of the war he went to New Orleans and other places, but says he has re- sided for the last fifteen years in Callaway county, this state. Mrs. Hensley was greatly and agreeably surprised to see her hus- band once after she had thought for twenty-seven years that he was dead. She is the mother of six children, four by Hensley and two by Kep- hart, and has two living husbands, having been divorced from neither of the men.—Nevada Mail. more, For Sate or Trape.—20 Toulouse geese. Mrs. M. G. Witcox. 40-tf A Big Barbecue. We were informed Saturday by Capt. H. P. Nickell, of Homer town- ship that the democrats of Homer, Charlotte, West Point,Elk Hart, East and West Boone, have decided to give a grand old-fashioned barbe- cue at or near Virginia, sometime during this month. Preparations for holding it have already commenced and a number of farmers have signi- fied their willingness to contribute beefs, hogs and sheep to its success. The services of the ladies have also been enlisted and they are taking a deep@interest which assures the fact be a grand and glorious succes. The committee propose to push every ar- rangement to completion, and propose to see that the occasion will be one of the grandest ever witness- The committee on speakers propose to have some of ed in Bates county. the best talent in the state present and Mr. Nickell says the democrats of western Bates propose for once i in the Cleveland bandanna year of | 1888 to join hands and rejoice over the victory to be won for low taxes and reform 15 pounds for one dollar of good brown sugar at Wright & Wall, west side square. | ———— | Geo.

There were thousands of people on the grounds Thursday, and it- was surprising that no accidents Oe. curred. Considerin the jam of men, women and i children one could not help dreading the occurrence of serious accidents About noon this undetinable dread was realized. Mr. J. E. Hutchison, candidate for county judge on the republican ticket, commonly know as Bud Hutchison. He was unhiteh- ing his horses when another horse near kicked him in the small of the back. The force of the kick doubled him up and instantaneous congestion followed with partial paralysis. J / was at once known that he was seri. / ously, if not fatally, injured. Phy. sicians were called and they worked with him for some time. In the evening he was taken to his home in Jackson township. It was difficult” matter to move him his condition was so peculiar and so serious. He may eventually recover but sucha } result is extremely doubtful. Hun. 4 dreds of people visited him as he lay on acot on grounds and expressed their sympathy with him in his great misfortune and suffering. Bud is a most estimable gentleman and we are very sorry that he was injur. ed.—Holden Enterprise. horses, vehicles. | | | | A Skin Game, It was a general surprise laatnight| when it was whispered about the citizens that Jewett & Hickmay j had been playing a skin game. The standing of this firm in the communi | nity is such that seemed incredibk that they could have engaged in any such nefarious practices, and local business circles were stirred to their depths as the rumor gained currency, and detailed information grew as thy rumor circulated. The gentlemen, a being interviewed, indignantly denied the accusation and it was determined to endeavor to sift the rumor to th bottom, and, if possible, to make th asperser of their character pay # penalty of his libellous utterances. Of course the tracing of the rumor to source seemed to promise an unend ing job. Brown told Smith, Smith, being appealed to, gave Jona! as his authority, and Jones laid matter on Robinson's shoulders. last the rumor was brought home { a wag and practical joker, well kno in the community. To the surpri of all he made no attempt to d the charge, but acknowledged it stood ready to prove it. Being to explam he did so as follows: B great game of Jewett & Hickmang to put a spring on every bed in Bal county. People must have softb or wear out their skin. I main that the bed spring business is a ali game,and Jewett & Hickman n the biggest skin game ever pla: Butler. At last reports the in gating committee and the joker smoking at Jewett & Hickman’s pense, out of the profits made their skin game. eT aan Poultry Wanted.
