Someone blundered, but the failure will likely prevent a recurrence.— Butler Record. It is kind of the Record to ac- knowledge in advance what the en- tire press along the St. L. & E. rail- road feels compelled to say in refer- ence to the meeting on the 26th ult.

The St. L. & E. road was laid at Butler's door without an effort on her part. The Kansas towns along the line worked for it for years and finally succeeded in have it built.

No paper can be published with- out home patronage, and every man is interested in keeping up a home paper. If a railroad or factory |is wapted the newspapers are ex- pected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any purpose, the newspaper is called upon for a | free notice. If any of the societies have a supper or reception of any that a more sober, honorable, com- petent, trustworthy, clever and _ac- commodating man has never filled the important position which he has held for the past three years.
