McKIBBENS: Will be closed February Ist, to invo'ce. T. W. Legg, the buggy man, for buggy repairs and everything in the buggy line. 5-25-tf S. E. Heinlein and Thos. Baldwin, traveling for a Kansas City imple- meat firm left Tuesday morning for | Kansas to interview the trade for the | coming spring. | Experience has taught us there is no profit in clubbing with other pa- pers, and we don't believe we ever iucreased our circulation a half doz n copies by the operation. So of late years all propositions to club are promply consigned to the waste basket. We have come to the con- clusion that a newspaper is like a brand of flour; if it is good there is no trouble in putting it on the mar- ket; if it is bad no amount of coax- | ing by mixing it with other brands will make it go. The booming Tres stands on its own bottom and asks the assistance of no paper to | make it go. Weare still at the old | stand, and ‘$1 will get the booming Times one year. The interesting announcement is made that the Butler Water Com pany willdam the Miami. Butler, people have been damning the water company for a long time.—Clinton Democrat. The firet statement is correct, the latter is not. The people of Butler have appreciated the predicament of the past few months, and instead of centure the company has been commended for its sacrifices of mon- ey to keep the town supplied with water. More than this the city council of Butler has never repudiate ed the water debt of the town. Can Clinton say as much, we think not. We understand the wholesale tramp grocery agents, who have been spending a week or ten days in this county, got in their work on some of our farmers and sold a number of bills. These tramp agents are not doing busines for their health neither are theyso vitally interest ed in protecting the interests of the dear farmer. They are in busi- ness for the profit and being here today and in Illinois to morrow, what recourse has the purchaser if the goods he buys fail to come up to recommendations? The Times re iterates, it isa hard task to beata traveling shark at his own game. A Johuson couaty farmer who bought of tramp grocery agents a short time ago found the sugar half sand and the parched coffee turned out to be split beans. Every article ie bought was adulterated but the de | ception was not discovered until the | agent had collected his money and vanished. The drouth, which has prevailed in this section for several months, was broken Friday by a copious} rain which prevailed during the day and a part of the night. The drouth was becoming quite serious in this town and county, and the people! had become despondent over the! out look. Stock ponds, wells andj cisterns had giyen out in many ine | stances and water for family use and | jetock was getting to be quite aa] item. Nearly every cistern in town | had been dipped dry and the wells | were failing fast and in many in-j| | stances families were compelled to! ihaul water from the creek. The; famine would have been more gener- | ial had it not been for the supply | ‘furnished by the water works, and | the privilege granted the people by! the company to use the watering | i troughs for their stock. The severe cold weather material- ly interfered with the protracted meetings at the different church: § Tuesday mgbt aud the attendance was swail. The farmers of Bates have tak-n advantage of the pleasant weather | this winter anda large amount of fall plowing has been done. This will give them a big start in the spring and we look for a bountiful harvest the coming season. A young lady stopping at the Woods House at Clinton came near being asphyxiated a few nights age by blowing out the gas when she retired. The house soon filled with gas and the leak was discovered to bein her room. She was almost dead when discovered. The card and dance question as a test of church fellowship, has about marred the heretofore harmonious condition of the Christian church at | Nevada and the large congregation has gone to pieces. Eighty of the most substantial and influential members removed their names from the church book Sunday. The affair is to be deplored by all church peo- ple, and goes to show that the min- isters and officers of churches some times become usurpers of the power vested in them. The funeral of Flood Major, who died Thursday of last week, while undergoing an _ operation in Kaosas City, for internal tumor, took place from the First Presbyte- rian chureh at Rich Hill Friday at 10 o’clock,conducted by Dr. J. H. Mill- er. The remains of deceased were then taken in charge by the A. O. U. W. lodge, of which he was a member, and conveved to Ashley cemetery three miles south of Butler and laid to rest. Mr. Major was one © of the most popular and best known men south of the river, and a few years ago was a perfect type of physical manhood, weighing about 200 pounds. But the disease with which he had been afflicted reduced him in flesh to a mere skeleton. It is stated that no man in Rich Hill had more friends and fewer enemies than he. The deceased was well known in this city, and his untimely death was deeply regretted by all. though occasionally epi- J: La Gri temic, ix ee more or less prevalent.
