This magnificent temple to Thes- pis was erected by our enterprising and public spirited fellow towns- man Wm. E. Walton, in 1882, at the enormous expense of $35,000. No expense was spared by Mr. Walton in designing and building this immense and magnificent structure, truly, as it has been so often called, “the pride of But ler,” but with a lavish hand he beautified and ornamented the op- era room until it rivaled in splendor the more pretentious opera :ooms of the large cities. At its openmg the citizens of Bates county, rec- ognizing the manly aad public spirit of the motives of the builder, pre- sented Mr. Walton with a beautiful banner bearing the inscription. “Walton’s Opera House, Butler, Missouri, presented by citizens of Bates county,” and a handsome gold West & Trvax, Wholesale Drug-!,gorg and razors.

He expects to get everything modern and of the latest improvement. J. M. McKibben, who moved out of his old quarters, a week or so ago to give the painters, paper-hangers and carpenters an opportunity to renovate the same, is back again. The painting, papering and decorat- ing was done by the champion work- man, W. B. Bridgeford, and carpen- ter work by Mr. Eldridge.
