Jack Grpsox. “The farmers in Vernon county are circulating petitions asking con- gress to vote a bonus to the agri- culturalists to compensate them for the taxes they have to pay to protect the manufacturers. They say that if protection is fair and just at all it should be given to all in- dustries, and that as farm produce is exported it cannot be protected by “a tariff. Hence they ask a bonus of 25 cents per bushel on corn and va- rious amounts cn other products.— Stockton Journal. Farmers, who is the man that paid you highes prices for your pro- duce? Farmers, whois the man that is keeping up the prices of Bates county to-day? Farmers, who is the | man that has worked for the farm- ers’ interest and only makes a profit one way.

The name of our young friend, Shirley Childs appears in our an- nouncement column this week. He asks the democratic party to nomi- nate him for the office of collector of Mt. Pleasant township. Shirley has been raised in this town and all knew him to be one of our brightest and most promising young men, and know him to be qualified to fill the of- fice.

Quite a number of our esteemed contemporary exchanges are com- miserating our little city on the loss ofher paper. Please don’t be too sudden gentlemen, we haven't miss- ed an issue. It was merely a change of name and nailing new colors to the masthead, which fact Bro. Kirk- patrick, of the Advertiser, inadvert- ently failed to notice in his last is- sue.

He is sober, and straightfor-| ward and with an experience of five | years as constable of Grand River | township, he is not ignorant of the | office.

Hopes rudely blasted; promises un fulfilled; expectations shattered strew the pathway of the signal ser vice man as thick as autumnal leaves strew the brooks of Vullambrosia. His latest promise to knock this section of the eartk into pi witha , fall in the temperature of fifty de- | grees, turns out to be a joke similar to dozens of others perpetrated be- | fore. In fact, he is as unreliable as a@ second-hand clothing man.—K. | C. Evening News. R. H. Browning, of Adrian, some time ago replevied a pointer dog, 'found in the posession of O. H.

The suit was had be- fore Justice Newsom on Monday aud resulted in a hung jury. Many witnesses were examined on both sides andconsiderable interest was had in the outcome. Mr. M. S. Cooter, of Nevade, has accepted a situation with Bennett, Wheeler & Co., and with his family will remove to our city at an early day. Mrs. C. is a daughter of Col. M. W. Mize, and is well known by many of our young folks. We are glad they are coming, and bespeak for them a cordial welcome. This week we announce the name of Z. J. Williams for the office of col- - | lector of Mt. Pleasant township, sub- ject tothe action of the democratic party. Mr. Williams has held this office for the past two years, and so faras we knowhas given universal satisfaction. He has been very care- ful in the discharge of his duties, and has made the township a close and careful collector. His books and receipts are kept in a business way, and while he has made close collec tions he has not been oppressive, and atalltimes treated the tax-payers gentlemanly and polite. She Objected Decidedly. A Washington letter says that a church woman with an eye to busi- ness went over to the White house the other day to ask Mrs. Cleveland to knit some articles of wear which might be offered at sale ata forth coming fair. The young mistress of the executive mansion “threw up her hands in protest as she exclaim- ed: “Why, Mrs. Blank, everybody | who saw it would say, ‘Mrs. Cleve- land can’t knit nearly as well as Mrs. Harrison, and how could I endure SS a comparison.” To the Farmers! deck made Lane is still on forget it.

Thanking you for your past favors, I will ask you all to come again and see the farmer's friend, Perer Lang, West side Square, Butler, Mo. The rendition of the Mikado, by our home talent, under the direction of Prof. Baker atthe Opera House last Tuesday evening was a very creditable piece of acting and sing- ing, by all engaged. The music of the play is quite difficult, yet not-/ withstanding this fact it was as well rendered as it has been heretofore in our city, by professionals. The weather was very disagreeable, or the attendance would doubtless have been much larger. As it was, the audience was large, and by the ap- tiye. The performance was repeat- ed Thursday night to a good house. —Record. Plenty of six per cent money to loan. Privilege of paying part or all at any time before maturity and stop interest. 39 tf. Peacu & SpraGue. Mr. Geo. O. Circle dug a well on his premises in the East End a year or two ago and struck a rich deposit of coal a short distance from the surface. He has been supplied with good water ever since, and has ar- ranged the affair in such a manner that whenever his coal supply runs short all he has to do is make a vis- it to his well and replenish—keep- | —— ing one bucket for drawing water and another for coal. He yesterday hauled out eight wagon loads of the dusky diamonds, and we understand 1s making preparations to double up on this within a week. The water does not interfere with the coal, nor | the coal with the water, and Mr. ; Circle has simply a domestic bonan- ; za right in his back yard. We now advise him to sink another well, and if he can strike a deposit of buck- wheat cakes, hominy and fried pork and is any sort of of a Missourian | himself he will be fixed for the bal ance of his days, as he can grow sorghum enough on top of his min-| ing property for all the purposes of i } | } | i “sweetening. -—R.

The last one was at Mr. Beatty's, and to say the least, it was simply immense. S. W. Price and W. W. Moshier have shipped their stock to Kansas City, hope they did well. Miss Julia Douglass is progressing nicely with her Fairview school. She is a first class teacher and un- derstands her business thoroughly. Doc, Sam and Ray McFarland, Wat and Reck Cole, and A. C. Ed- rington visited the home of M. L. Embree a few nights ago, and all re- port ajolly time. Mr. Nehemiah Board was in our neighborhood last week inquiring after bis black-eyed son Charley, who had left home to visit his uncle. Ed. Griggs has come home from California. He thinks Bates is good enough for him; and so it is with most of them, they will wander back again. We see an article in the last Trurs from our friend and former citizen, W. B. Ewing, and from the tone of his letter we shall not be surprised Daniel Embree says he is going west in the spring, but we do not think he will wait longer than Sun- day, or go farther west than the Miss Clara Warford is visiting at S. W. Price’s, and also Milt Beatty, or rather making it his home as he was seen going that way Sunday with his valise. Miss Henrietta Andrews who has been staying in Butler the past eigh- teen months, is now home attending to the household duties while Miss Becca is visiting relatives in Butler. j We are afraid we are going to be without a postmaster after the 4th of March, as we have but one repub- lican in town and he is city marshal and is therefore ineligible to any other office.
