Wilcox. liying near Passaic has a little daughter quite sick with scarlet fever. This is a dreaded disease and is to be hoped it wilt not spread in the neighborhood.

John Lamone, a tramp tailor, for stealing some articles from Rudolpb Talbott, was arrested the other day and taken before Squire Newsom and fined ten dollars and costs. The stolen articles were found .on his person, and a failure to pay the fine sent him to jail to lay it out at the expense of the county. Our people are patronizing the water company very liberally, and the lawns are going to look much prettier uext summer. Those whe hove not yet taken water and think of doing #0 ought to put in hydrants this fall, as it will save digging up their yards next summer. Jas. H. Harman our popular friend of Summit, gave usa pleasant call Saturday. He informs up that he has made arrangements with his nephew, Abe Harman, to ship him several car loads of corn from the Indian Territory. He says it will cost him about 30 cents per bushel laid down here. The water-works cempany is much encouraged by the number of citi zens taking water. It keeps several men hard at work putting in the service pipes and plumbing. We are glad to see our people taking the water, and those whe do wonder how they could have done without it so long. Those who are now using the water would not do without it for double the rental. R. W. Mitchell has sold his inter- est in the Southwest Mail to Mr. R. M. Spencer of Warrensbrug. Mr. Mitchell has always added tone te | the press of Southwest Missouri,and in extending our fraternal greeting to Mr. Spencer, hope that he will fill Mr. Mitchell's place with equal credit.—Nevada Republican. W. B. Tyler of Spruce township, gave usa pleasant call while in_ the city Monday. He sold his fine farm in that township last week, but s@ys he hates to leave Bates county, and if he can find a place that just suite him may conclude to buy again. We trust he fay be suited for a better fellow never lived and we would hate to see him leave the county. The flight of steps leading to the Odd Fellows and Masonic halls, in the third story of the court house are in a bad and dangerous condi- tion and the court should leok after them and have them repaired before anaecident oceurs. In short the court house needs repairing in 8 number of places and it would be economy to have the same done be- fore it gets worse. Saturday was a regular circus day in Butler and our mercbants are all wearing a pleasant smile. People will come and buy where they find goods cheap and as represented. Our merchants have laid in large stocks and we are glad to know their efforts to please are being ap- preciated by our farmers. Every farmer should take pride in seeing it grow and prosper.

We are sure no oue wil! think tbat an understanding exists between the two editors, both are far above suspicion. The Nevada papers are still dis- cussing the Deffenbaugh killing. Some are trying to manufacture sen- timent for Hutton—others for Deft- gnbaugh. While there may have been some merit on both sides, it is evident that if Deffenbargh had been as attentive to his own wife and child as he was to the wives of others, this affair would never have happen- ed.—-Rich Hill Review. T. N. Hendricks, of Gentry coun- ty, Mo., purchased W. B. Pyler’s farm, in Spruce township, of 247 acres, for which he paid $7,000. The trade was made in an hour after the gentlemen, met.

The latest and no doubt the most trustworthy representation of the sveiul and economic life of the South American peopleis to be found in Theodore Child's recently published volume on The Spanish American Republics. The book embraces a record of a seven months’ tour through the southern portion of the continent, and is a very complete ex- pesition of the resources and devel- opment of the countries visited. It is superbly illustrated froi photo- graphs and from drawings by the foremost American artists.

An exchange thus deseribes the meaning of the term local enterprise: If you can think of anything that can be done to beautify or build up your town, doit; keep your capital at home; patronize home industries; help the merchants so they can sell cheaper; get your work done in town if possible; subseribe and pay for your paper~—do:'t steal or borrow the reading of it. If you follow these suggestions and your town does not build up it will not be your fault. Judge Lay completed a three weeks term of court Saturday and returned to his home in Warsaw. Coming among our people almost a stranger Judge Lay's ability,cour- tesy and high standing have won himself a host of friends. It goes witheut saying that this judicial district has been especially favored. Beginning with Judge Wright who presided almost half a lifetime, we then had our own Judge Gantt, now amember of the supreme court Judge DeArmond was not permitted to serve out his term, until an ad miring constituency gave him higher honors.
