Miss Nettie Vancamp and Mrs. Mary Ball daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Vancamp, of this city, are in town spending a few days visit- ing their parents. This section was visited by the heaviestrain of the season Sunday night. Weonly hope that it was general throught the county. If so it will almost insure a good corn crop. Rev. Dr. J. H. Miller was duly installed Thursday evening pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Rich Hill. According to the Review's report the building was handsomely decorated for the occasion and the services were very entertaining. If the property owners would do it, the expense of cutting the weeds and grass growing in front of the resi- dences in our town would be but a trifle. Try it and you will see the difference in the appearance of your property. It may be to the health of yourself and family, also. The timothy crop is exceptionally good in this county. Tuesday Dixie Haggard, county surveyor, who has a meadow of 160 acres brought to this office a sample his crop which he says about an average sample. The straw measur- ed 5 feet and the head 11 inches. of is If there is not an ordinance against ball throwing on the streets and in the court yard, there ought to be one passed. If the boys who en- gage in this nuisance and vance to the public need exercise and have no other occupation they had bet- ter be at home sawing wood. A few days ago Rev. H. D. Over- ton, a Methodist minister at Hume while out dirving with his family was thrown from the vehicle by the horses running away. In his fall he struck timbers with such force as to break two of his ribs loose from the backbone. The other mem- bers of his family were unhurt. some Rev. Sledge and wife will leave this week for Eldorado Springs to spend several weeks during the heat- ed weather, after which they will go to Monegaw and other noted wa- tering places. They expect to be absent from the city for two or three months. The Times wishes them a pleasant time. The public school enumeration for Bates county for the past year shows an increase of 483. The number re- ported in 1888 was 10,893, and the number this year 11,976. In this Butler shows an increase of 113. Last year it had 915 and this year 1,058. Rich Hill shows a decrease of 110. Dr. Risley’s little daughter was quite seriously burned in the face with carbolic acid Friday. The lit- tle child was playing m her father’s office and accidentally turned over the bottle. The doctor says she she did for had the acid got into her eyes it would have put them out. Our genial friend, Sam L. Meyers, the lightning traveling tourist for Ridenour, Baker & Co., of Kansas City, was presented with a precious package, by his wife, Friday in the shape of afine girl baby. Of course Sam was all smiles when we met him Monday, on his usual round, visiting our business men, setting up the cigars and taking large or- ders for his house. Butler was honored Saturday with avisit from “Farmer” Wade,congress- man from the Springfield district. Mr. Wade is quite a prominent figure in this section of the state and stands well with the present administration. He made his headquarters at the Palace Hotel, where quite a number of our citizens had the pleasure of meeting and forming the acquaint- ance of the distinguished visitor. He left for his home near Springfield on the noon train.

The animals were taken Annona Coie a Ho vak: Saturday to his farm east of town. It is his intention to breed them and establish himself permanently in the business of raising and selling thor- ough-bred Jacks. Several of the above animals were very large and fine, and commanded a fancy price. In view of the fact that this section of the state is not more than half supplied with Jacks, we believe ae enterprise will pay Mr. D. handsome profit, in time. This sea- son the Colyer Bros. shipped from Kentucky, and sold to the farmers of this county, Cass, Vernon, Jasper, Cedar, St. Clair and over in Kansas, about thirty Jacks. So if it pays to bring them from Kentucky, it will certainly pay toraise them in this Doubtless the largest rick of wheat ever stacked in Bates county was put up by Capt. Donahoe last season. The rick measured 300 feet long, 25 feet wide and 20 feet high and contained the straw of a hundred acres. Tuesday last Bill Eldridge moved in his steam thresher and threshed out the grain which meas- ured 1,339 bushels. The captain is not discouraged wheat raising and will put in this fall upwards of 100 acres. S.C. Rogan, E. F. Rogers and | W. C.

He said the farmers of his neighbor- ing oats and hay, and he expects to commence threshing his oats crop Monday. He also said the oats crop was very good in his section and good judges had averaged the crop at from 25 to 50 bushels per acre. He alsoinformed us he had 20 acres of potatoes which were looking well and he expected to turn out a large yield.

Blanken- baker, of Lone Oak township, at the age of 87 years, removes from the list one of Bates county's old- est settlers and most highly respeet- ed citizens. He came to this coun- ty thirty years ago, from Monroe county, and died on the farm on which he settled so many years ago, where he lived continuously, except ashorttime during the war. One by one the cycle of time is cutting off the old land marks and pioneers of this county. and in a few more years there will not be one left. Somebody has been telling, that somebody in our city received a letter a few days ago from a gentle- man in the east, inquiring if it was true that criminals in Bates county were not prosecuted? If true, the question is a very silly one for an intelligent gentleman of the east, to ask of an intelligent gentleman of the fifth state of the Union, and the fourth county in the state. Yes, if true, we are really ashamed of the ignorance of eastern gentleman and to better inform himself we suggest that he take Horace Greely’s ad- vice and come west. We hardly be- lieve so foolish a question was asked ofacounty that the people have said again and again, we are so peaceable and quiet that we have no use for a jail.

Mr. Jennings is now over 71 years old and his health, for several years, not being |the best, has stayed about home pretty close. He informed us that this was his first visit to Butler in about three years, and it is high- ly probable that he would not have been in the city this week, had it not been for his son, who insisted that he should come along to help purchase a mowing machine.

Newsom will leave in a few dayson an extended busi- ness trip. He expects to be absent about a month. In his travels he will pass through the states of Ohio, West Virginia. Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, old Virginia and South Carolina. The Commercial Club meets Thursday and in view of the fact that just at this time a big effortis being made to advertise this city and Bates county,we think it would be a splen- did opportunity for the club to put thousands of the new folders in the hands of persons where they would do the most guod. Mr. Newsom we understand is perfectly willing to lend his time free of cost to the dis- tribution of this advertising matter, and will take special pains to see that the work is properly and sys- tematically done. Ail know that an important matter of this kind in- trusted to his care would be relig- ously carried out to the letter. Of course there would be a small inci- dental expense attaghed to the distribution of this advertising mat- ter and we feel sure should the Com- mercial club accept of the proposi- tion no objection would be made to |furnishing him with a pittance to- 'ward bearing the legitimate ex- | penses attached to the distribution of the advertising mutter placed in sit sae Sere Ee eR Cut Prices We are temporarly located next door to our OLDSTORE, and have ahost of mechanics at work remodling our store.
