When the farmers ef Henry coun ty’ with a railroad bonded debt of over half a million, vote fifty thou sand dollars in bonds to build court house, it is enough to put the blush on the cheek of the Bates county farmer, who votes against is- suing ten or twelve thousand dollars to build a jail for this county.

We have not investigated this matter and don't} know how the price of corn in this county compares with that being sold in our neighboring counties. There is doubt the farmers should bold their produce for the highest market price. but whether it is pohey for them to hold it at a tigure that forces the largest con- sumers to go elsewhere is a ques- tion for them todetermine for them- The feeder wants to buy his corn just as cheap as he can get it, while the farmer wants all he can | counties, no selves. for be « warning to the children of the| get for the corn he hus to sell.

The citizens of Butler were griev- ed to learn of the death of Dr. D. D. Wood, which occurred at his home in Sweet Springs, Sunday last. Dr Wood was a preminent physician of this city for a number of years, stood high in his profession in the county and district While here he was made one of the board of mauagers of the Fulton) asylum by Governor Marmaduke, which position he filled creditably for four years Dr. Wood was a genial, wholesouled gentleman, popular with all who knew him.
