YOUR TIME NOwW. Our buyer Mr. Jas. McKibben has just returned from his trip to market.

The market is now being supplied with a full line of vegetables, and the town will havea change from the same old thing three time a day, | meat, bread and butter. ; Since the wholesale delivery of criminals last week, the citizens of Se- dalia and Pettis county have awaked to the realization that a new jail is needed right off. There is no econ- | omy in not having a good jail and it jis a public necessity in every coun- ty. The annual state missionary meet- }ing of the M. E. church, south, | meets in Independence, Mo., to day, and will be in session for four or five days. Mrs. Pearce and Addie Da- vis will attend as delegates from this city.

The toe of theshoe caught behind the tecth. The horse was nearly dead when discovered by its owner. Hon. John B. Newberry favored us pleasantly while in the city Fri- day. Capt. Newberry is the friend | of the newspapers. He is a constant subscriber for a number of the lead- ing papers and periodicals, and what | is better he reads them. There is no better posted man in this county. | The executive committee of the 4th of July celebration for Butler has not yet been selected and we fear if the tail of the bird is not twisted soon the people of this town will | have to imigrate to other live places jif they hear the old bird scream. | Come boys, get < on a hustle and let's have a big time in Butler. Alfred Evans editor of the Schell City News has been figuring ever | since the World’s Fair opened how {he would be able to get there and | has finally exhausted himeelf as fol- lows: “If a man could jump as far | in proportion to his height as a flea he could at a single leap pass from Osceola Sun. to attend the commencement exer- cises. license to marry. Quarterly meeting will be held in| ithe M. E. church south Sunday by | the Presiding elder. Miss Lula, daughter of I. M.) Smith, of Deep Water, passe through Butler the last of the week to visit friends in Rich Hill and/ Sprague. It is feared the rain storm Sun- that has visited this community this | 4 | spring has damaged the wheat, flax. oats and corn crop. The Lamar Democrat denies the story in circulation that the sheriff stopped Amos Avery from talking in order to hang him in time to catch the train for Fort Scott, to which place his body was shipped. S.C. Alexander and brother of East Boone gave us a friendly call while in the city Friday. These are excellent young gentlemen, unswerv- ing democrats, and stand high in known. Circuit court will convene in this city next Monday. The sheriff has received instructions to summon a special grand jury to investigate the charges against the several prisoners ia jail and to look after such other business as comes before that body. Editor White of Harrisonville is in the push. All im one day he was invited to attend a fishing party, a birthday party, a banquet at Kansas City, a dance at Holden and three weddings in Cass county. Bro. White must certainly be a big nice red plum ripe and ready to be picked. J. A. Trimble, the popular drug- gist, received a large shipment of pure California wines and brandies the last of the week. He keeps con- stantly on hands the purest drugs and a careful and experienced phar macist to compound prescriptions. Give him a trial when needing any- thing in his line. C. B. Lewis’ match pair of iron gray geldings, five years old, 16} hands high, take the ribbon over any thing we have seen in this section for style. Charlie intends to take them to the different fairs, and the man that enters the ring with a finer or fancier team will have to go out of the state to get them. Z. J. Williams is home from his visit to Ills., and the World’s Fair. He reports having an excellent time and said the fair was the largest thing he ever saw, also that the re- port sent out of extortionate prices of living in the city was all a fake, as a person could get board,see the fair and live as cheap as he could in But- ler. John Boyd's little son had a se- vere gash cut under his chin Satur- day evening by falling on a rock. The little fellow, with other boys, was playing at the culvert on Ohio street and in jumping from the end of the culvert to the sidewalk, he missed his footing and fell in the branch. Earl Davis, playing with him,was also hurt in the head at the same time. Every business man in Butler is interested in the erection of a first class elevator at the depot. On this proposition there is no room for di vision or pulling back. There is no enterprise for Butler that would bring better results to the merchant in cold cash than a good elevator and a liye and progressive man to manage it. The elevator is a pub- lic necessity. Let’s have it. Tramp grocery peddlers have been fleecing the farmers of other counties. The best and surest plan for the farmer is to patronize his home merchant and let these travel- ing fellows severely alone. But if they persist in buying from these tramp agents and get bit they should not squeal, but take their medicine like men. These peddlers are onto their business and it takes a pretty smart fellow to beat a map at his own trick.

McConnell, of Clinton, the county last week. She spent the last part of the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, in Mound township. Banker Walton says money mat- ters are very tight and they are keeping a sufficient surplus on hand to meet any possible contingency. The other banks, we understand, are doing the same thing. We have made diligent inquiry of farmers from atl over the county and most of them report old chinch bugs in abundance but say the wet weath- er has prevented the hatching ard consequently they will do no harm. A. E. Willis, of Jefferson City was visiting friends in the city Sunday. He reports his mother, Mrs. J. P. Willis getting along nicely as assistant matron of the penitentiary. Artie is in the Governor's office and}. is doing well. Hon. W. W. Graves and Hon. T. W. Silvers return from Denver, Col orado, the last of the week; where they had been on legal business. They report having seen a number of former Butler boys, among them T. J. Galloway, Billy Walker and Geo Weaver. Bert W. Walley, formerly of this place, but for a number of years mail carrier at Kansas City, was dis- charged Saturday with a number of others for hypothecating their sal- aries to money lenders. Bert was a republican but held his place through the former democratic ad ministration The Union is very knowing in re- gard to the personal relations exist- ing between the editor of the Tres and the members of the county court. For the information of that sheet we will enlighten them. Each member of the county court is our personal friend. We often differ as to policy, but that does not affect our friendship. Mrs. Robt. Deacon gave a five o'clock luncheon Friday evening and a very pleasant time was had. Those invited were: Mesdames W. E. Wal- ton, E. D. Kipp, A. L. McBride, W. W. Cook, D. A. DeArmond, W. C. Burrus, H. E Percival, P. Lane, Joe Meyer,T. D. Rafter, T W Childs, E. S. Carrithers, I. N. Mains, J. W. Mor- ris and W. F. Duvall. Judge Fix arriyed in the city Mon- day to attend court. He said the downpour of rain Sunday was the hardest he had seen in many years. In his section the small bridges and culverts had all been washed away and in going from his home to Rich Hill he was compelled a number of times to lay down fences and go through fields. The Judge said the wheat, oats and corn had not been materially injured but the roads are in a fearful condition and will take some time to put them in traveling condition again. Dr. T. C Boulware performed a very dangerous and delicate surgica! op- eration on the person of George M. Jones, living south of town, Thurs- day. For more than three years Mr. Jones has been afflicted with renal catculé and during the past three months the pain caused by his ailment has been almost unbearable and he was forced to submit to an/ operatien which was successfully performed. The stone removed was as hard as granite, conical in shape, 2 inches in length and 21 inches in cireumferance at the larger end and! weighed 185 grains.

Mrs. Harry Piggot joined her hus- band at Booneville the first of the week and they will visit his parents. The county school convention met at Rich Hill Monday. A large num- ber of delegates attended from this place. Poor At. is in sore distress. He is at a loss to know how to prepare his ticket in the future so as to beat the democratic ticket. As the only law- yer in the party he is being deluged with letters of inquiry from all over the state. He says the Supreme Court decision doesn’t throw a bit of light on this question, Sevator Bradley spent Tuesday in the city. His business here was to interview the county court in regard toaroad matter in his township, The major is looking well and reports his health good. He said the big rain of Sunday had sent the river on a rampage and the bottoms were all under water with the river rising rapidly Tuesday. The management of the fair at Rich Hill are feeling encouraged over their prospects for a successfu] time at the fair this season. The lists of premiums have been com- pleted and the offerings for the dif- ferent departments are very liberal. The Times hopes to see the fair a great success and from the way ex- hibitors are asking for space there is no doubt but that it will be. Tuesday morning B. W. Hale re- ceived a dispatch from Carterville that his brother, Chas. M. Hale, had died suddenly. Berney left on the first train and had not returned up to the time of our going to press, and consequently we can give no particulars. Charley was a printer having learned the trade in the Times office. and a more worthy or reliable young man we never knew, and his sudden death caused a shock to his many friends. Arrangements were made for the funeral in Butler to-day from the residence of B. W. Hale. - M.S. Horn and Miss Lula Ed- wards were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Tuesday evening at the residence of the bride’s parents, Rev. Brouse officiating.

The bride is thelovely and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Edwards, a very amiable young lady andhasa host of friends. The groom is a promising young at- torney with bright prospects for promotion and distinction in his profession. The happy couple left for the World’s Fair, where they will spend a season and on their return go to keeping house in the elegant home on Ohio street prepared by Mr. Horn.
