BUTTER WEEKLY TIMES 2On ‘aed W ill Badgley is seeing the sights at the White City this week. The fruit crop is the only failure that cau be credited to Bates coun ty this year. This pretty weather is being em- | braced by the farmers to gather | their corn. A lawyer who is afraid to repre- sent the interests of his client is un- | worthy of the profession. The Times continues to grow in popularity for which its manage- ; ment is profoundly grateful. Wheat is up a cent to-day and down a cent to-morrow, but hogs cut the mustard every day in the week. Twenty-three new subscribersand twenty-seven renewals is not bad for one week. We submit to the pro- fession. The old democratic veteran Cassel Hale, who labors for the party cause in season and out, was in the city Saturday. Two or three old sows, well cared for at the present price of hogs would soon lift a farm mortgage. Vernon county has a bonded debt of $163,200 and the county court has made a levy of 20 cents on the 100 valuation to pay interest. Mrs. Cowgill, so severely injured a week or so ago by being thrown from her vehicle is an the mend, so Dr. Boulware reports.

The men were quarreling over a wayward woman named Nettie J.| McCall, who was present when the| shooting took place. Dr. Porter has moved his family) over from Foster. The doctor has} rented the J. C. McKibben property on Ohio street, and the Times hopes to see this estimable family given al warm welcome by our citizens. The home of Alex. Greditzer, of Nevada was entered by a burglar Sunday night and Mr. G. found himself Monday morning minus a diamond pin valued at $110, a pearl colored spring overcoat and a few dollars in money. W. T. Jobneon, of Rich Hill, gave us a pleasant eall while in the city last week. He said his brother Ed Johnson and Miss Roberts Walls, daughter of R. T. Walls, were mar ried on the 11th at Richards and left immediately for the world’s fair at Chiogo. | Squire D. G. Newsom, who has been spending the summer on his plantation in Arkansas, clearing land and putting the mountains in shape to grow a large fruit orchard,return- ed home last week to spend a season with his family, leaving Brick to look after the pigs, chickens, deer, bear, turkeys and quail. Aslick fellow claiming to hail from New York, done up a lot of farmers in Henry county last week, borrowed $65 from aliveryman in Clinton, jumped his board bill and was soon lost in the whereabouts. He came west to buy milch cows and he found them and also a nice} lot of suckers. Eyery farmer sbould take his county paper and keep his eyes open. We understand that M. M. Tuck er, of the Altona neighborhood, will at the proper time enter the race on the democratic side for probate judge of this county. Mr. Tucker is} one of our most substantial farmers, | among our best citizens, a man thor oughly competent to fill the high office, a good democrat and his nom- ination would prove a sure winner. Wm Thompson, who was travel- ing by wagon from Saline county to Warsaw, was bad!y burned Friday night, while in camp near Sedalia, A lantern turned over setting fire to his bedding, in the wagon, and he was burned about the breast and arms before he could escape.

J. R. Witt of Troy, Lincoln Co., in company with his nephew, Samuel L. Coleman of Deepwater, compli mented us Tuesday. Mr. Witt lived in Bates county before the war on the Judge Porter farm. He is well pleased with the way our county has been improved and developed and after making a trip through it he estimates the corn yield of this county at 30 bushels to the acre. The revival meeting at the Ohio street Methodist church is still in progress and much interest is being manifested. The services are con ducted by the pastor,Rev. Stephens, who is giving the sinner, some good wholesome advice which if taken will lead them to be better men and women. Attend the All are invited. meetings. Bob Walters gets out a number one paper in the Review. Next to the Times we think he gets out the best paper in the county. He is a genial, wholesouled, companionable gentleman and would rather speak well than ill of anyone. When his paper last week so severely criticis- ed his former partner, Col. Irish, it is readily apparent to all who know Bob that he must have been badly treated. His utterances have the right kind of a ring and show him to be a true man j Col. Jim Shubert. Maj.G. D Ar nold, Capt. G. D. Parker and Squire Allen Wright, big farm ers of Summit township, returned from the world’s fair Sunday, after spending a week sight seeing. They report having a good time and Squire Allen Wright said he would not have missed it for the future prosperity of the populist party. But the more important question agitating the minds of the little party is the name, nationality and religion of the womau who washed Col. Shubert’s} feet. If an officer of the city informed the court that some merchants’ statements were entirely too low, and so believed, and advised that suits be brought, he did nothing more nor less thau his duty, as it is an undisputed fact that there were more than one. But if steps beyond that have been taken, and beyond said advice and suggestion,the blame rests elsewhere —Democrat. | “A newspaper should be firm and determined and independent in the} exposition of its views on public questions.” Therefore, we would suggest that the name of the fear- | less city official who took it upon himself to appear before the county ; court ard advise that suits be |brought against the merchante, be | given. If the officer be a fearless one in the discharge of his duty,/ certainly he will court publicity to} the part he played in bringing! SATURDAY WAS 4 Bla DAY ON BOOTS AND SHOES.

Is half past 7 o'clock too late to be- gin church services. Sunday even- ings. Of late we have heard several persons say they would be glad to attend chruch, but the preachers be gan so late they get tried waiting and would giye out the idea. Most people asa rule do not have hot suppers on Sunday evenings and would much prefer the church hour to be a half hour earlier. A few nights ago Lee Edwards, who lives seven miles southwest of Dexter, Mo., was called out of his home about 11 o'clock at night by Joe Miller and a young man named Wallace, who begain to abuse him. Edwards went back into bis hource and locked himself in. The two drunken toughs followed and at tempted to break the door down. Mrs. Edwards remonstrated when Miller knocked her down. Edwards then opened the door and shot him dead with a Winchester rifle.

St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 17.—The 4-year old son of Harry Worthman, a well known business man, fell down a steep stairway this afternoon. At the bottom was a scraper, on which the little fellow landed on his throat, cutting it. He bled to death before assistance could be rendered. Wonderful Things Hood’s Sarsaparilia Does for The Sick and Suffering Hood’s Cures Wolcottsburgh, N. ¥. “Tread in the papers of the wonderful things Hood's Sarsaparilla was doing for others, and 8o I bought a bottle for my sick child.
