The Times crew returns its sin- cere thanks to that prince of good fellows, G. D. Arnold, of Summit township for a good supply of strawberries of the Mammoth vari- ety. The candidates who have travers- ed the county tell us that the acre- age of corn planted this year is far short of last year’s crop, the farmers having turned their attention to oth- er crops, flax predominating. Dr. Boulware informs us that his patient Loyd, at Foster, whose leg he amputed about six weeks ago is getting along very well and the prospects are now flattering for his recovedy. Chas.

Mr. Abott isa first- class tinner and the Trves welcomes him back. A full line of Champion repairs is kept by Shirley Childs. mules Saturday to Kansas City. These mules were large and very fine, in short they were the best lot of mules sold by this firm in many months and this is saying a good deal for they have handled some extra fine animals. Mrs. Perry, the lady whose hus band was killed by lightning, has | moved to Kansas. She was well treated by our people and especial- ly her good neighbors and we have no doubt she feels grateful for the substantial aid rendered during the hour of her necessity. I. H. Botkin, a prominent farmer and stock man of New Home town. booming Tres, gave usa pleasant and substantial call Monday. He wead very flattering. Col. J. LaDue has been invited by Harris & Lisle sold a car load of | ship, and a staunch friend of the said the farmers were busy plowing corn and the prospects for a big crop from the depot. The cherries are packed in a refrigerator car, and go to Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and other western points. The doctor owns a small farm east of the city and has planted it in small fruits. The Times had a pleasant call Tuesday morning from Judge Perry Hunt, of Warrensburg, cashier of the bank at that place. He is here looking after a case in our circuit court in which his bank 1s interest- ed. Judge Hunt is one of Johnson county’s foremost and most popular citizens and honorably served his county two terms as presiding judge of the county court. Butler was complimented last Thursday with a visit from the com- mercial club of Kansas City. These gentlemen were on their way home from a short excursion through southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri. Our citizens met them at the depot with the band, and with carriages and buggies sufficient to convey them all for a short drive over the city. They were driven to the lake, where a number of Jadies were in waiting, and gave them a flowery welcome. An hour was spent very pleasantly and the guests departed apparently in the best of spirits. | Mr. A. B. Wilkins, of Howard township, was in the city Thursday and conveyed to us the sad intelli- gence of the sudden and unexpected death of his daughter, Nannie, which occurred at Nevada, Friday, May 23rd. Miss Nannie was pnp | high school in that city and ha made all arrangements to graduate on the Tuesday following her death. Her sickness was of short duration, having only been sick little more than two days. Her remains were brought home and laid to rest in Ray cemetery, Howard township. The Trves extends its deepest sym- pathies to the bereaved parents in the Joss of their beloved daughter. | The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the demo- jeratic convention at Rich Hill, Sat- urday May 24th: Resolved, That we, the democracy of Osage township, in convention as- sembled, reposing the utmost con- fidence in the integrity, ability and fidelity of our fellow citizen,the Hon. Thos. Gault, do heartily endorse his candidacy for the position of State Senator from this district, and rec- {ommend him to the fair and earnest consideration of the democratic par- |ty of Cass and Henry counties as in jevery way fitted to adorn that posi- \ tion and reflect credit on our district. Col. J. LaDue, candidate for con- gress. had a good audience of far- mers at Ballard Friday, and his | speech was well received and hearti- ly applauded. His appointment at Spruce was postponed on account of the rain. Saturday Col. LaDue was in Butler and attended the county convention. He also gave the Tres a pleasant call and informed us that he would, from this time on, attend strictly to his canvass of the district. He expects to make a number of speeches at different points in this There is just one thing certain if the citizens of this place igtend to celebrate the 4th in a becoming | manner it is high time arrangements were being made. So far there seems to be a disposition to let the Lake and Park company take the matter in hand. This year we have many attractions to offer the pub- lic in addition to fire-works, and other fitting things which go to make a celebration. As we have the artesian well, lake, park, race track, 'etc., and we have no doubt with the proper effort we could double, yes, treble the attendance of any previous year. Major J. N. Bradley attended the convention Saturday as a dele- gate from his township. The majorhas been in poor health for some time and has been staying pretty close at home taking good care of himself. He said as this was candidate year and he expected the boys to be around he had plant- eda large melon patchand so far the prospects for a good crop were flat- tering. The major is one of the most hospitable gentlemen in Bates county, and the gentleman who crosses the threshold of his door is treated with genuine southern cour- tesy. The high prices paid for poultry the past year has caused some of our farmer ladies to enter into the poultry business on a large scale this summer. Among whom we are informed that Mrs. C. Graham, of Summit township will raise and put on the market this season some fif- teen or sixteen hundred chickens. She is well fixed for the business andwe learn has upwards of eight hundred young chickens growing and has seventy odd hens setting. Mrs. John Redmond, in the same neighborhood, although she has had only one year start, has 500 young chickens on hand, and Mrs. J. L. Shubert brings up the rear with 300. The way prices have been kept up on poultry of all kinds we know of no business that will pay better and our farmer ladies deserve much credit for the enterprise they are displaying and we haye no doubt but that in the near future they will be owning bank stock. Ice Cream Freezers at McBriwe & Co. From Johnstown. Eprtor Trwes.—In the spring of 1889 the agricultural wheel was organized in Bates county and it was represented to the people as be- ing a non-partisan organization. In the consolidation at Springfield with the Alliance it changed to the F. & L. U. the constitution remaining |'Y about the sams. This spring the county union concluded to runa ticket They say that both old par- ties are corrupt and they are goin; to start a pure party. If both old parties are corrupt and a new party is started from the floating votes of the oldones it is my private opinion, publicly expressed, that this party will be more corrupt than eith- er of the old ones, being made up of the floating votes. It is a republican scheme to disor- ganize the democratic party. If any brother ofthe union wants any in- formation on the subject let him ap- ply to headquarters, Bro. Hickman president of the F. & J. U. and see if his views are in harmony with the action of the Bates county union. The republican part of the union are in favor of the ticket and will be un- til election day when they will be unanamous for the republican ticket. I would like for seme good broth- er to tell me a secert political party thatever accomplished any good. The grange and vuld know nothing parties are fair examples. Members of the F. & L.

In the absence of the chair- man and secretary of the democratic county central committee, the con- vention was called to order by Wm. Griggs, committeeman from Shaw- nee township. Hon. John B. Newberry was elec- ted temporary chairman; J. D. Al- len secretary, and F. J. Wiseman assistant secretary On motion of S. P. Francisco the | committees on resolutions and cre- dentials were dispensed with and the temporary organization was made permanent. Moved by Major Bradley that each delegation send the names of their respective delegations to the secretary's desk to be read, which was done, showing a full delegation from every township except Mingo. Moved of Major Bradley that where a delegation was not complete the delegation present be allowed to cast the full strength of thetown- ship, and that alternates and proxies be allowed a vote in the convention— Carried. Judge E. A. Henry made a motion that the secretary call the roll of townships, and that each township that desired could submit a candi- date for delegate tostate convention. That the names thus submitted be voted on and the seven candidates receiving the highest number of votes, provided they received the majority of all the votes cast be de- clared the duly elected delegates. Major Bradly offered as a substi- tute that candidates be placed in nomination from any portion of the house, and the vote taken in a simi- lar manner as mentioned in Judge Henry’s motion—Carried. ’ The following candidates were placed in nomination: I. N. Mains, Pleasant Gap; J. Scudder, Adrian; W. S. Mudd, East Boone; John W. Harshaw, Deepwater; H. P. Nickell, Homer; Thos. J. Smith, Mt. Pleas- ant; W. F. Tygard, Osage; J. N. Bradley, Prairie; Chas H. Smizer, Summit; R.G. West, New Home; Dr. W. H. Allen, Osage; W. H. Meade, Rockville; Henry C. Reece, Howard; C. D. Cole, Spruce. The vote was taken which resulted in the election of the following delegates: W. S. Mudd, John Harshaw, Thos. J. Smith, W. F. Tygard, Major J. N. Bradley, Dr. W. H. Allen and Hen- C. Reece. The following resolution was of- fered by S. P. Francisco and carried. Resolved, That this convention heartily endorse and approve the course of Hon. Geo. G. Vest in the United States senate, and that of Hon. Wm. J. Stone in the house of representatives and the Hon. John B. Newberry in the Missouri legisla- ture, and inasmuch as the Hon. G. G. Vest is a candidate for re-election, it isthe sense of this convention that the representatives from Bates county and the senator from the 16th district of Missouri be request- ed to do all in their power to secure his re-election to that office.

By ref- erence to his advertisement in this issue we find that his sales for the month of May exceeded by 40 per cent the sales of the same month last year. Of course this large in- crease in business has heen due to a large increase in trade, as all pat- rons of the store and the readers of this paper well know that the firm bas sold goods much cheaper this year than they did last, consequent- ly the firm has a right to crow.
