Marrizp.—At the residence of the bride’s parents, south of town June 2nd, 1889, Mr. Grant Tennant and Miss Annie Moutray, Rev. Alex Walker performed the ceremony. Ihave a nice line of buggies, spring wagons and road carts, which I will sell cheap or trade for horses. Call and see them at Jas. Smith's livery stable, in Butler. R. W. James. A boy by the name of Martin Luther Stinson, living in Nevada had one side of his face blown off by the accidental discharge of an old musket loaded with slugs Thursday. He was out hunting with several other boys when the accident occurred. W. W. Spencer and wife, of Pres- ton, Kas., are in the city visiting the family of Henry Evans. Mr. Spencer was formerly operator at the de- pot in this city, and has many warm friends in the city who were glad to see him. Children’s Day was observed at the First Presbyterian church last Sunday. Rev. Alex Walker, pastor, preached a very appropriate sermon to the young in the forenoon. The exercises in the evening, consisting of solos, duetts and recitations, were conducted by the young people. All did nicely considering the short | time they had for preparation. 2g Don’t Get Canght This spring with your blood full | of impurities, your digestion im paired, your appetite poor, kidneys | and liver torpid, and whole liable to be prostrated by v rmer system ase— | but get yourself into good condition and ready for the changing and eather, by taking Houd’s Sarsapariila.

The colonelhas not been enjoying good health for some time, and on account of which is getting quite feeble. He came to Butler from Wayne county, Kentucky, the year 1869. During his residence in this city he has acted in the capacity of deputy sheriff for nine years, and for ten years successively held the office of constable of this, Mt. Pleas- ant township. The Col. is an old Jeffersonian democrat and cast his first vote for president for that noble patriot, Gen. Jackson, and he says that act still lingers pleasantly in his memory. He is still a strong partisan and takes a deep interest in the political affairs of the country. The colonel has been married twice and is the father of 12 children,six by each un- ion. His first wife was a Miss Hul- da Sellens, whom he wedded in 1835, after her death he marrizd his pres- ent wife, a Miss Jane Caldweld. Both ladies were born and raised in Wayne county, Ky. in R. Talbott, the tailor, is located at his residence first door west of the Laclede hotel. 28-2t. Disgusting in the Extreme. Harrison's first negro appointment —Rev. James Townsend, of Indiana, to be recorder of the General Land Office—has created quite a commo- tion in the land office. In the divis- ion of which he is to be chief there are 25 white lady clerks and every ore of them are trying to get trans- ferred to some other division in or- der to escape the negro cheit. As one of the ladies puts it: “We na- turally have to pay a certain amount of court and deference to our chief, and it will be very disagreeable for me to treat a negro as my superior. I shall get into some other division if I can; if not I suppose I shall have to stand it, as my bread and butter depends upon it.” The Eldorado.

Monday evening the crowded by an inter te witness the commencement ex » high school. An hour and a half before time for ex- cises to begin, standing room, only, was an- nounced. Indeed the house was so crowded that a member of the school board, coming late, was compelled to gain entrance through aside window; although he was only a ‘Lamb’ it was quite a struggle. Promptly at 8 o’clock the graduates, each looking charming aud preceded by Prof. J. F. Starr entered the church and took their places very gracefuily on the stage, Prof. Star, steppirg forward at the proper moment, made a few appropriate remarks, at the beginning of which, a dead silence fell around. The audience was pleasantly entertained by Prof. Fisk’s orchestra, The music was low aud sweet and highly appreciated. Immediately following this Miss Maggie Ar- nold read a beautiful salutatoryfessay on ‘The World’s Advancemenis,’’ Her voice was strong and clearand her production very cred- itable. Miss vaggie very clearly proved that our ladies would occupy all the leading offices in ourland. Sue wore a dotted swiss with a very large corsage bouquet. At the close of this exercise Misses Mabel Jenkins aad Allie Hurley appeared on the stage with many beau- tiful bouquets, and baskets of flowers for Miss Maggie, which she most certainly merited. Miss Loueila Buck now takes her position and reads ‘‘A Tripto the Invisible Worlds’’ in a very distinct way, She was dressed in em- broidery flovncing with white rose bouquet. Miss Louella received no fewer flowers than did her predecessor. Miss Laura Beegle next steps forward and tells us about ‘‘Sunbeamsor Shadows.’’ Her voice was, as usual, strepg and delivery good Her dress was embroivery with *‘V’’ front. She wore but few flowers. Miss Laura receiv- ed elegant bouquets. Miss A.C. Pease, accompanied by Mrs. Fan- nie Crockett, next rendered a very charming solo entitled ‘‘Tell Me, beautiful Maiden.’’ Miss Pease, as usual, looked lovely and was not forgotten by the flower girls. Miss Anna Fiizell next dis-oursed on ‘‘The Blacking Brush.’’ Her productien was some- what humorous and yery entertaining. Her dress was swiss flonncing with elbow sleeves and ‘‘V’’ front and back. She wore a large bouquet of daisies at her waist. The flowers were now piled at the feet of Miss Anna. Miss Jennie McCants was next announced and surely did herself justice. Her delivery was good. Miss Jenrie wore an embroidery dress and small bouquet. The flowers she received were many and beautiful. *‘Accuse not Nature, The has done her part; do thor thine’’ was next read by Miss Florence Willard in a splendid manner, so common to that young lady. Miss Florence closed her production with a most beautiful poem which she had composed for the occasion She wore a pure white batiste costume with “*V? front and large corsage bouquet. She, also, received handsome flowers. Miss Laura B. Duvall, accompanied by Miss Hattie Scott next rendered a most entertaining solo entitled ‘‘Sunshine.’’ Miss Duvall was highly applanded as she always is on such oc- casions. We next had the pleasure of listening to an oration ‘‘Old Things have passed away’’ by Mr. Claude L. Clark. His position was grace- ful and costume elegant. His voice was clear and strong and production splendid. Mr. Claude spoke in particular of our free school system. He worea small button hole bou- quet and was no less honored than were his schoolmates in regard to flowers. Miss Anna Lansdown’s delivery in ‘‘Is man & progressive being?’’ was fine. Her dress was beautiful embroidery. She wore a latge bou- quet of feverfews and white daisies. Miss An- na reeeived many flowers. Miss Jessie Rolston next delivesed the vale- dictory address ‘‘We are sailing in the thay, thre ocean lies before us.’’ Miss Jessie looked lovely in her white with ‘*V’’ front, a small bouquet of tea roses decked her bosom. Her voice was clear: id pronunciaition quite dis- tinct. Her productionis not to be surpassed for its beautiful synonyms Theclosing words toher classmates, the school board and to Prof. Starr were quite touching, Her fare- well remarks were brief but exactly expressed her feelings. The young lady left the stage amid many demonstratiotis of appreciation for her worthy production Her flow were many and were received in a graceful manner. Rev. A V. Francis in afew interesting and appropri ‘emarks presented the diplomas to the happy graduates, each receiving their di- pioma with a graceful bow.

June | [1, 1889. Co., Mr. J. D. Allen, Ed. Trves: Dear Sir:—As I have reached the end of my destination, at least for awhile, and being anxious to heer from home, I thought I would write you for my papers. We left home May 6, reached Texas the 30, must say that Texas is 2 much better country than I expected to see. Texas is destined to be one of the grandest states in the Union. I find a great deal of thrift and enterprise in this county and finer crops I never saw anywhere. This part of the section is no stock country, but it is a splen- | did farming country, wheat, corn, | oats and cotton all do well here. The farmers tell me they often thrash 100 bushels of oats per acre. Denison has a population of | 12,000 and is on the boom. Sher- man, the county seat, about same size, but not the enterprise. A/| very sad thing for Grayson county \ took place May 28. The sheriff of | the county was shot and instantly three young men for carrying con- cealed weapons. They caught the fugitives with blood hounds and landed them in jail. A mob is ex-| pected at any time. Will say had | a good time. My folks are all well and much benefited. Will write again byand by.

Jefferson City, Mo., May 30.—The Cole county grand jury has returned forty-seven indictments against the saloonkeepers and gamblers, and created consternation among the sporting fraternity. For the past | six years the saloons and gambling houses have been doing pretty much as they pleased, and their violation of the law became so flagrant and nctorious that it at last called down the strong arm of the law. About a week ago the grand jury foreman went before Judge Edwards with the statement that certain mem- bers of the jury refused to indict sa- loon men, against whom the evidence was convincing. and then asked to | Ten Days Only 96 pairs Ladies fine Freneh iid} button Shoes, tlexible sole, others at $3.00 our regular price is $2.50, they go at the low price of \ Tf you want to bay an organ or | lee!
