Pursuant to notice of the secreta ry of the Southwest Immigration Society, the people of Bates county are hereby requested to meet at the coust house in the city of Butler on Saturday, February 2nd, 1889, for the purpose of choosing five dele- gates to attend the annual conven- tion of the Southwest Missouri Im migration society to be held in Clin- jton on Tuesday February 5th, and farther to discuss the best course to be pursued by the Bates County Im- migration society for the coming year. Jas. K. Bruce, Pres. Immigration Convention, Tuos. Inisx, Secretary. G. W. Ruddle, living northwest of Butler, wishes us to inform the peo ple of Mt.Pleasant Township that he is a candidate for the office of collec- tor. Mr. Ruddle has lived in this township for a number of years, and is held in the higest esteem by ail who know him. He has been a life long democrat and this is the first time he has ever asked office, now he is growing old and needs the office and thinks he deserves this recogni- tion by his party. The Clarion learns from sheriff Gray that a horse thief was arrested at Green Seright’s, in Potosi town- ship, last Friday night, by the con- stable of Valley township. When arrest the thief had in his possession a team of horses that he had stolen near Mulberry, Mo. the same fellow that stole a team} jnear Fontana a few days ago, and | when near Trading Post he became | convinced that the fellows were on his track, so he tied the team in the brush and skipped over into Missou ri toward Mulberry.—Linn County (Kan.) Clarion. About a week ago Robt. Hawk was entrusted with a horse by Mrs. farm, to sell for her. Hawk took | the horse to Rich Hill and sold it to/ Jno. Griggs for $35. He failed to} materialize in a reasonable length of time and was hunted up and placed under arrest. He had 85 cents of | the money when arrested and refus- ed to divulge what he did with the balance. He now languishes in jail It is the sup- | position that the party arrested is | Doubtful if They Accept. | There being considerable conjee | ture on the part of our citizens as to | whether the gentlemen nominated | by Saturday evening’s conventicn | would accept, a Tres reporter was | dispatched to interview them on the subj -ct, and elicited in substance the following: Capt. Hannah, the nominee for | mayor, said that while he was in no way a candidate before the conven- tion and did not desite the nomina | tion; yet, if the rest of the geuntle- men nominated would accept uid make the race he would not decline. But if either of the two gentlemen named, Mr. Walton or Capt. Tygard, refused the nomination, then that settled it that he would not be a can- didate. We then called on Mr. Walton, the nominee for alderman from the north ward, for the long term, aid without hesitating a moment, he in- formed us that he was not a cand- date before the convention, was not there ai the time of the meeting and would not, nor could he be induced under any circumstances to accept the nomination.

Douglass, of Shawnee and his fair daughter, Miss Junia visit- ed relatives in Mingo last week. The young orators of Mingo have organized a literary society at Peter | Creek.

Tom Staley aud Eugene Andrews took in the Electric City (Butler,) Thursday. The crop of candidates for jtown- ship offices in Mingo promises tobe very large. Rev. ‘Linzley will preach at Peter Creek school house the first Sunday in February at night. Instead of free salt aud free lath the republicans gives us free attar f roses and lavender cil.
