The above meeting of stockholders of the Butler National Bank has been called for the purpose of censidering and veting upon the questien of buving other United States Bonds and continuing the banking business as a Na- tional Bank or surrender our charter as a a Bank, and then organize as a State jank. In case the stockholders at said meeting de- cide to discontinue the business under the Na- tional Bank system, we will with others at once organize a bank under our State law and continue the banking business at the same place, underthe same management with in- creased capital and better facilities to do busi- ness than heretofore.

Wyatt, The late Major Edwards, before his death wrote on the emptiness of materialism. He said: “When great griefs come, materialism has nothing to offer for consolation. In the hey- day of life and youth and breath men may boast of their infidelity over their wine as they boast over some old love affairs; but when the night falls and the darkness gathers, they find that all their puerile scof- fing and unbelief is nothing but a naked sign pointing the way to utter hoplessness and desolation.” Now is the time to get Hagedorn’s finest work at reduced prices.

The excursion party filled two coaches and the third could have been filled if the committee could have got it, as there were at least fifty more persons who wanted to go bat failed to get tickets. It was a jolly crowd and we know they had a good time, for the citizens of [Nevada are hospitable people and will doallin their power to make the Butlerites enjoy themselves during their short sojourn.

Foster’s coal trade is already be- ginning to open up in fine shape. The numerous dealers are anticipat- | ing an unusually large demand for their coal the coming fall and win- ter. The demand comes principally from Kansas. The township officers have par- chased an Austin reversable steel road grader. Thecost was $225. It looks as if it would fill the bill as a road machine if properly handled. Now let it be put to work and kept going until our roads are in good shape. Mrs. Young, a widow lady living some four miles northeast of town, had the misfortune to have her house burned one day last week. It was a very fine farm house and was a total loss, there being no insurance on it. Most of the furniture was saved. R. W. James was in town the lat- ter part of last week on a trade with D. C. Berry in which Mr. Berry will trade his farm fora stock of hard- ware. If the trade is consummated Mr. Berry will open upa general stock of hardware and make things lively in that line of business. Two gangs of bridge carpenters have been at work several days re- pairing and strengthening the bridges over the Walnut and Marias des Cygnes.

Those present were Tootsieand Tim Hannah, Bessie Parkinson, Cecil Walls, Grace Durrell, Nannie Hurt and Reggie Rosser. Delightful re- freshments of several kinds were in- dulged in by the fair young guests, who seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

They got intoa deep hole and the boys clutched Mr. Laughlin, but he got loose end as- sisted in holding them up. John McGhee, as soon as the others went down, swam for a boat that was on the north side, and got back with it in time to save all three. The boat was locked and Jobn dces not know how he got it loose, and had the boat been three feet farther they would have been lost, as cll wece un- der water when rescued.—Rockville Star.

A sharper claiming to be a book agent has been working Mexico re- cently. His plan was to go to the residences of citizens when the men were away and sell the ladies beau- tiful books with lovely engravings taking their names on slips of paper as guides for the party who was af- terwards to make the monthly col- lections. These little slips afterward turned out to be promissory notes and a number of them were sold to the local banks. This is a shrewd trick and as it is likely to be attempt- ed throughout the country we would put the people on their guard against these scoundrels. For Sale or Rent.

The success of the institute last year and the year previous encour- ages the belief that yeu will unite with me inan earnest endeavor to make the coming institute one of the | best, if not the best in the state of Missouri. This ought to be; asso- | ciation of teachers together tends to broaden their various relation to the branches to be taught and the chil- dren whom they are to instruct, for those who content themselves with what they see and hear in their school room are sure to grow mos roseand dogmatic. It isa great educational force to those who are ready and willing to profit by the advantages thus afforded. Each teacher is brought face to face with men and women who are engaged in some profession; here they measure strength together in opposition. The services of Prof. J. M. Shel- ton has been secured as conductor and instructor, and Ex-County Commissioner, W. W. Graves will also assist inthe work. Both gen- tlemen are well known in Bates coun- ty Thursday and Friday of the last week of the institute will be devoted to the examination of applicants for certificates toteach in the Public schools of Bates county. Teachers having certificates which have been granted since Jan. 1 1889 and who attended the Normal may have tne benefit of the examination without extra charge for the same. Cards containing a list of all the teachers of Bates county will be is- sued at the close of the institute. The names will be arranged in two clasess. The first class will con- tain the names of those who attend- ed the institute giving the number of days attended and the postoffice address. The second class will contain the names of thosewho did not attend the institue. One of these cards will be sent toeach district clerk in the county for reference in the se- lection of clerks for the ensuing year. For full term of four weeks $3,00. For less than full term $1,00 per week. Tuition will be charged by the week and not by the day for all who attend less than full term.

At the residence of James Hill West 6th street, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, oceurred an event on the 25th of June, 1889, which brders somewhat upon the extraordinary, five gen- erations having met under one roof. The occasion was the reunion of the immediate descendants of Mrs. De- borah Hill. Those present were John- son Hill of Butler, Mo., two brothers of South Bend, Neb., one sister of Ganion Iowa, one sister of Shells- burg, Iowa, one sister of Huron, Dakota, one brother and sister of Cedar Rapids Iowa, together with several grand children, great-grand children and one great-great-grand child, a bright boy of five years. After partaking ofa sumptuous re- past the dear old lady was assisted into a carriage and all repaired to a photograph gallery, and had her picture, with all her living children, (8 in number) one grand child, one great-grand child and one great- great-grand child taken in a group. Mrs. Deborah Hill was born in Harrison county, W. Va., Dec. 17, 1797, and married James Hillin 1816, In the fall of the same year, with her husband and a girl of 14 years, she embarked on a flat boat on the Tygart Valley river, on which they floated to its confluence with the Mononghehala, thence on with the current to Cincinnati, where they arrived in December, their point of destination being Warren county, Ohio. She came to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, February, 1852. Hit For Sarz.—House and lot in But- ler for sale.

Peculiar to its good name at home, which is a “tower of strength abroad,” peculiar in the phenomenal sales it has attained, Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most suc- cessful medicine for purifying the blood, giving strength and creating an appetite. R. T. Adams is a prominent and financial negro of Georgia. He has written a letter to the Echo, a col- ored man’s paper, in which he charges that the Harrison southern policy is to make a white Republican party in the south out of any Dem- ocrats who are bese enough to bar- ter away principal for spoils. He then declares himself for free trade | and predicts that in a few more years the entire colored vote will be with the Democratic party. His ad- vice is: “Let the colored voters leave the Republican party, which is now run by a set of unprincipaled Shy- locks and money hunters.” Ice! lee! Ice!
