Mr. Johnson, is in the lumber and grain business and we were glad to learn is doing well. The old and reliable boot and shoe man of Butler, Max Weiner, extends a special invitation to the citizens of Bates county to call and examine his magnificent stock of goods.

She reports having had a very pleasant time, but says there 1s no place like But- ler and Bates county, and she was glad to get back. The country in which she has been visiting was very dry and many fields of corn would not even make fodder, as the corn had not grown higher than 3 feet, tasseled out and dryed up.

He was in- jured internally and will die. For want of rain the ground is getting very dry in this country. pasturage has almost disappeared and stock water is getting to be an item. In addition to this, fali plow- ing for wheat has been greatly im- peded and we are told that the acreage of planting will be small compared with last year.
