The in- vestigation showed there was noth ing in the bad reports set afloat. The scandle monger should not as- sassivate the good name of a young lady without just and righteous evi- dence. You can destroy easier than you can build up. The citizens in general of this town will regret that the McFarland band, one of the oldest and best bands m the state has been disband ed.

It takes money, time and patience to successfully equip and manage a band in a town the size of Butler. People of Bates county, don't iv jure your towns and reduce the] price of your land by keeping up a continual how] and grumbling about hard times. This county is all right. We have plenty of corn, wheat, oats, flax, potatoes and everything else in the living line. One calamity howl er in a county can do more injury to @ community than a dozen good men can repair. Suppose we turn the tables now and every man, woman and child in prosperous Bates blow his bug'e for this great county. Its bountiful crops, big coal fields, rich land, churches, schools, &c, and we will guarautee you will be so im- bued with the change wrought iu one week in the happy condition of your home that you would be willing to dose the first rascal that cones on your place crying hard times with rough on rats. Let's all stand up for Bates county just one week and note the result. Monett Toughs in Trouble. Monett, Mo, Aug. 24 —Last night four young men, J. F. Tracey, brakeman, Harry Heffernan and Roy Blanks, sons of Frisco engineers, and Jim Clanuahan, after filling up with whisky started to run the town. They assaulted several persons on the street, among them J. A. Coop er, switch:nan, whose skull was fractured, and who now lies in a critical condition, City Marshal | Hendrix and his assistant succeeded | in easily arresting all except Tracey who resisted and ran, when Hendrix shot him three times, the first ball | entering his back just below the right shoulder, lodging in his jung. The other two balls entered his leg. | The wound in the back is dangerous | me that it would be expected or de- if not fatal. Tracey recently came from Springfield.

Johannes, reports quite a/in his life asked, accepted or re- serious accident which befell his | brother, Fravk Seelinger, at his home near Papinville, Wednesday. Mr. Seelinger was digging in his well with the view of deepening the same, and had to use a shot to loosen some stone. The next day, Wednesday, his helper was let down in the well to finish the work, but on arriving at the bottom, found the well full of bad air. He cried for help anda rope was let down and he was pul- led out. Mr. Seelinger, thinking his man was only sick, attempted the job himself, and was completely) overcome by the air. He also cried for help and a rope was let down for the top, it took over 20 minutes to | ports put in circulation that he had 'this to say in regard tothe matter: | said reunion, or any other by Gen.

It is all well | enough to talk about, its passing a financial relief bill in 48 bours, but in Congress, as elsewhere, there are always two sides to every question, and it would be a violation of every priaciple of our method of govern ment to deny both sides a hearing. Congress is trying to reach a deci-| siye result, aud more cannot reason ably be expected. —Rich Hill Review.

Mays of Drywood township Thursday “and yet I have corn that will make 25 bushels tu the acre This is not the average by any means.”—Dr. Blake who recently returned from Jerico says that country is literally burned up “Two wecks ago the corn prospect was as fine as I ever saw” said he “but they have had no rain and Iam afraid the corn crop there is goue to the bourd.

The wedding was quiet, only a few friends and relatives being pres- ent. After the ceremony the bridal party attended services at Fairview Baptist church. They will visit in this community a few weeks then start for Grapevine, Texas, their fu- ture home. The bride was attired in delicately shaded lavender cashmere elegantly draped with lace, which! served as an ornament to the beauti- ful form and features of the charm- ing bride. Mrs. Barton isa native of Missouri, and has resided here the greater part of her life. She is a lady of sterling integrity,faithful and true in all her actions and an earnest, de- voted christian. Her many friends will be sorry to lose her from their midst, but their sorrow will be jessen- ed by the knowledge that she has se- cured an estimable and worthy hus- band. Mr. Barton was, until a few months ago, a resident of Rich Hill, but has lately taken up_his abode in Tarrant county, Texas. He is a teach- erof great ability and his untiring energy,and eathusiasm in school work has won him the position of one of the leading educators of his county. He is indeed to be congratulated in | securing such an accomplished wife, and may the blessings of Him who doeth all things well be continually theirs. A FRIEND. Siferng, ie ; good road. Roodhouse Kye: The Louisville Courier ; Journal suggests that it would be a better plan for the gov- | ernment to buy Kentucky whiskey instead of silver bullion. Blue grass whiskey never depreciates in value and always improves with age. If Uncle Sam is going to buy the na- tion's products, there 1s more money to be made in whiskey than silver.
