LOW PRIcEs [ GRAND! hs THE WORD IT REQUIRES TO DESCRIBE The South Emery Building. | of the Most Elegant Structures Yet Erected in Our City,And the Pride of Ail. Early last spring our readers were informed that the business of the Farmers’ Bank of Bates County, of Butler, had increased to such an extent that they were obliged to in- crease their cash capital to $50,000, which was done atthat time. l- so that they had made arrange- ments with Mr. P. E. Emery, our enterprising Kansas City friend, to erect for them the finest banking building in southwestern Missouri. They decided upon the location for- merly occupied by Bennett, Wheel er & Co., at the northeast corner of the square. This building has been remodeled into a grand and massive bank and office building, and as com- pleted is a credit to our city, one that every citizen feels proud of. It is constructed of brick and unhewn stone, the brick work being hand- somely painted. The banking room has acorner entrance, above which projects a fine bay window, the up- per part of which forms the base of an imposing tower. The inside is finished in natural cherry wood, the counters having been ordered by Mr. Emery from Chicago, while the ceil- ing is entirely different from any in our city. “The floor outside the counters is of the best quality of tile, laid in cement. The bank room is divided into dif- ferent offices. Justas you erter you will notice a nicely furnished room in front, fitted up for the especial convenience of the bank’s customers. Next comes the regular banki: apartments, being occupied by rd Officers of the bank. The first is that used by the Cashier, E. D. Kipp; next, that of the president, D. N. Thompson, and then that of the book-keeper, Dixie L. Haggard, all of whom we have always found ever ready to serve their customers in a manner both pleasant and satis- factory. The next room like that in front, has been arranged for the use and convenience of the bank customers, each being supplied with deske, chairs, writing material, etc. South of this is their new fire-proof vault, with double doors opening into the counting room. Inside the vault they have placed their large burglar proof safe, with time ey attach- ment, made to special order by the Hall Safe and Lock Company. They will also place safe deposit boxes in the vault for the accommodation of customers. The next room east of the vault is occupied by the Western Farm Mortgage Co., with a capital of $1,- 500,000, who make a specialty of lowest rate real estate loans and fur- nishing abstracts of title, and is un- der the management of Thos. W Silvers and Geo. M. Canterbury. At the rear of this is Mr. Silvers’ private law office, and the last room is being handsomely fitted up for the directors of the bank. This fall a steam heating aparatus will be placed in the basement and the whole structure will be heated by steam. The Farmers’ Bank has certainly been fortunate in secur- ing a ten years’ lease on so desirable a building. The bank organized January 8rd, 1889, under the state banking laws, and ithas been the policy of the management to place the stock with the farmers of Bates county. We understand there are 122 prominent and well known stockholders to back it. This, with such men for direc- torsas Messrs. RJ Hurley, H M Gailey, E A Bennett, M S_ Kersey, J K Rosier, P E Emery, JJ McKee, MG Wilcox, John Steele, Dr. J Everingham, T W Silvers and Judge Clark Wix, who direct the general financial policy of the bank through its active officers, D. N. Thompson and E. D. Kipp, President and Cashier, is sufficient guaranty of the sttoeg financial basis of the institu- on. They receive deposits, loan money on approved security. Re- ceive and issue drafts payable in all parts of the United States, and transact a general banking business. The officers seem to take pleasure in showing the public in general their comfortable quarters, and the Tuses wishes them unlimited suc- cess, believing that they fully de- serve it. A manin Springfield was recent- ly arrested for beating his affianced wife. He might at least have wait- ied until he married the girl. At the special el ection at Sprin field the proposition to issue $150. 000 in bonds for the establishment of a sewer system was carried by an overwhelming majority. One by one do Missouri's thirfty cities join the procession of progress. LOCAL ITEMS. Resolutions of Orchard Grove Union Denouncing Third Party. Whereas, We as members of F. & L. U. have entered this order to ben- efit ourselves and not our friends by operation, and Whereas, We hold to the truth that no organization ever has or ever can prosper which does not adhere to its constitution, and Whereas, The county F. & L. U. has departed from the road to suc- cess, and has openly violated the constitution by entering into poli- tics. Therefore be it Resolved, That we as members of the Orchard Grove F. & L. U. are opposed to our organization en- tering politics as an independent party, and be it further Resolved, That we denounce the action of the county F. & L. U. in regard to the third party movement and that we endorse the stand tak- en by the State President and Exec- utive committee. Resolved that a copy of these res- olutions be sent the county and state official organs of the F. & L. U. Dora AnpeRsox, Sec’y Pro tem. Bates Co., Mo. The above resolutions from Or- chard Groye union of Pleasant Gap township, were handed the editor of the Weekly Union of this city} for publication, but he refused them space in his paper, asserting asa reason that they were contrary tothe wishes of the county union etc. When we look over the Union of last week | ¥ and find its columns filled with denun- ciation and slush against President Hickman and the State secretary, it looks a little strange that the editor of the Union should be so hamper- ed by the managers of the Union as to exclude the legitimate expressions from one of the regularly organized lodges of the county.

It should be remembered that the information given is strictly confidential and the enumerator who discloses anything unlawfully is subject to severe fines and punishment. Again, the work of the enumerator has nothing what- evertodo with assessing and col- lecting taxes. Of course most peo- le know this, yet some will doubt- less be found who will hesitate to give the information for this rea- son. Persons refusing to answer can be tried and fined fifty dollars for sueh refusal. The enumerators’ lot is not a happy one, and we hope our people will cheerfully render each one the assistance required.— Record.

An Abie and Sensible Article From a | Member ot the F.& L. U. Ep. Taaes—We noticed an article in the Weekly Union over the signa- ture ef “Remus” and of whom we would care to know but very little. He displyed vast amount of ig- norance for an office seeker or a man | having the interests of the farmers’ organization at heart. Itis plain that | he wishes to put himself up as a re- | former of the politics of the country | and at the same time ‘can’t see for | the life of him how hecan go before | the people on either of the old party platforms.’ Now, according te the edi- tor’s comment on the writer of said article he was at one time a promi- nent democrat. Yes, in our mind's eye we can see him posing asa would ve democrat with the official bee buzzing in his bonnet, and his disapp ointment in the thing not ma- terializing, and yet we can see him that same bee tickling his ears and he ready to swallow anything which may come up or present itself principle and all, forthe sake of an office. As a wember of the farmer's organization we did, and still hope to see it succeed in that for which it claimed as its object, but when a person or an organization starts on certian defined principles and sacri- tices those principles to satisfy the cravings of hot-headed oftice-seekers you may rest assured that you will soon hear the death knell of the de- parting glory in that individual or organization. If the editor of the above named sheet will not deny the facts we think he must admit that Remus was at some time disappoint- ed in his aspirations for office and would give a round sum to day for an office to satisfy his bewildered mind. Now we would like to ask Remus to state his objections to the democratic platform as adopted at the last national convention? The democratic party asa whole has al- ways been and is to-day in favor of controlling trusts and combinations of capital agairst labor; it is in favor ofa volume of money sufficient to do the business of the country and a reduction of the tariff especially on the necessaries of life to the low- est limit for the expenses of the government, economically adminis- tered. But admitting for the sake of argument that the present party platforms are all wrong, and the politics of the country all rotten; is it nota fact that the features of a platform depend upon the material eed in convention and the purity of a party in its leaders? Then why > pes Remus choke himself off on eae when with the right kind of organization we could go in- to conventions and adopt platforms and principles to suit ourselves and with a fair show of success in re- forming the old parties, if reform is needed, instead of taking the course which will surely prove the disorgan- ization of the order. Such has been the history of every organization of the kind and we expect its repeti- tior, however much we may desire to see it otherwise. If for no other reason than it started out as a non- political istitution and so soon for- saking that principle and also against the judgement and expressed opin- ion of its head officers and organiz- ers. it does not deserve the support of any democrat, republican or man of sound principles. We've noticed a hint that work was being done to ex- pel some ofits official heads from the order because they stand firm on the rock of its foundation and can- not be led astray by the office-seek- ing element of the order and we ex- pect to see an effort made to expel all those members who will not pat- ronize the snide side show political move of the order during the cam- paign and which will only have the effect of hastening its death.
