The principal object of the court in meeting was to draw the judges and clerks of election and jurors for the November term of the circuit court. The latest escapade of standing candidate Atkenson was to institute a boycott against the great revival meetings at the tent, all because Rev. Culpepper said he would not vote the populist ticket because it contained a whiskey plank.

T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st, New York City, says that Ayer’s | | Sarsaparilla cured him of a dry and | sealy humor, from which he had suf- fered intolerably. He adds: “I kave} ‘not now a blemish on my body, and Mr. my cure is wholly due to Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” The air is full of trades and ‘pull | offs” and “swaps” between the re-| | publicans and the} names of Steele and Atkeson are| mentioned the most, by the knowing | jones, as those marked for the sacri i-| fice. populists, and The Union says when the miuers | solicting committee was hunted up their friends,the populist. | Yes, they came to Butler and got a donation amounting to 40c, and} standing candidate Atkeson has ney- amount.

Arnold, of Summit township, were surprised Tuesday of last week by a host of their neighbors and friends, gather- ing at their home to celebrate Mrs. Arnold's birthday. The crusaders brought with them well filled bas- kets of eatables and the day was one of the most pleasant ever spent in that neighborhood. We have good reason to believe that the popu.'st candidate for cir- cuit clerk will ke “pulled” off of the ticket before <iection day. In fact a dicker is on the tapis and we are informed tiat secret conferences have been held the past week between the secretary of the Union printing com- pany and the republican candidate for circuit clerk. Does Atkeson| know anything about this? We ad- vise him toinsist on a cash basis, the same as the republican candidates did two years ago. | Judge Fred Fix, accompanied by his brother in law, Stephen Nagle, | of White county, Indiana, gave the Tres a pleasant call Monday. Mr. Nagle is here on a short visit to the judge and family. He expressed himself as being greatly pleased with Bates, and from what he had heard and read of the county was agreeably surprised to find so fine a country and substantial improve- ments and big crops. Mr. Nagle is a very intelligent gentleman and it was a pleasure to meet him. Judge J. Z.

The pulling down of the tent Tuesday morning, closed one of the most remarkable revival meetings ever held in the corporate limits of Butler. The revival lasted over |two weeks, and notwithstanding | from three to five services were held each day there was no let up in! interest and almost every night the large tent, with a seating capacity of 2,700, was scarcely ae it to ac }commodate the audiences Su-day/ Inight the crowd was simply im- |mense, at least 4,000 people being |present. The country people took | ‘a deep interest inthe meeting ani dj each night several hundred attended, many of them coming a distance cf | from ten to thirteen miles. Several | nights during the week and especial- | jly Saturday night, there was not | hitching space at the chain around! the court yard. | Rev. Culpepper, Monday night, before delivering bis farewell ser-| highly complimented Butler |and her citizens and stated, while he |had not asked fora dollar during j mon, | the meetings, he was truly grateful and pleased for the handsome dona- tion (which amounted to $400) re-| ceived.

Cul- pepper made one of his best efforts, and when he pictured the ship and threw out the gang plank seventy walked women | shouted, men shook hands and the great revival closed with at least 250 conversions. Rev. Culpepper was assisted in his meeting by Dr. Murphy, of the Baptist church, Rev. Blair of the C. P. church, Rev. Robb of the South Methodist church and Rev.

In addition the members of all the churches in the city joined hands in the meeting and helped to push the work for- ward. converts aboard, Mesdames S. T. Broaddus, B. Kirk and N. F.

Mr. and Mrs. McCracken are among the best friends the Tiwes has in this county and their visits are at all times appreciated. Said a man in Butler the other day, “I am a reader of the Union, I intended to vote all or a part of the populist ticket, but the abusive lan- guage Atkeson has been using the past week in his paper of other can ididates I do not endorse, and as Atkeson is at the head of the Union aud is supposed to do the bidding new converts and friends from this} Monday night being the last night | CORRECT Is the right word to use in speaking of our prices styles, fit and qualities offered.
