Our esteemed friend, Charley Ewing, of Deepwater township, the king water melon raiser of the coun- ty has for the second time placed the Tres under obligations for one of the finest and largest melons we ever saw, the meat of which was perfectly delicious.

The time for action with the eity officers has arrived, and as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, immediate action should be taken to prevent a further spreading of this dread disease. We hope to see the town board move without further delay in this matter. This is plain talk, but plain talk is absolutely necessary at this critical moment. Badgley Bros. pay the highest market price for eggs and chickens. Jon Sears, a hard working color- ed man is the owner of 180 acres of land a few miles southwest of But- ler. This year he has 90 acres of corn, and he informs us that the entire crop will average 65 bushels to the acre, and judging from a sam- ple load which he had in town for sale his crop will be all he claims for it and more. Last week he sent a sample to the Kansas City exposition to contest for the premium. John a few years ago had nothing but his bare hands and this little instance goes to show what a man of energy and pluck can do even though he be a negro. A moving outfit, consisting of three wagons and a number of loose horses and cattle, passed through Butler Sunday evening en route to Benton county. The outfit belonged toone family and they were from Dickinson county, Kansas. They said everything had dried up in the section of country they left, the corn being a total failure. Theold man had traded his Kansas farm for one in Benton county, sight unseen, and was on his way to see what he had got. The entire family were tho- roughly disgusted with the sunflow- er state and said they would not re- turn for two sections as a precious | gift. J. A. Flora, a prominent attorney and democratic politician of Newark, Ohio, spent a couple of days in the city last week visiting at the resi- dence of his father-intaw, James Smith, and Friday gave the booming Trwes a pleasant call.
