The local option question voted on at Warrensburg the 11th inst was defeated by a vote of 384 for to 501 against. The Journal-Demo- crat says cf the election: “High license was not involved in the elec. tion of Tuesday. It was a question of $3,600 reyenue to the city. Noth- ing more—nothing less.” Z. A.

The many friends of Uncle George will be glad to learn he is doing so well. While the festivities are in sight, the fact must not be forgotten that Gen. John B. Gordon will lecture in Butler on or about the 15th day of | July, on the “Last Days of the Con- federacy.” This will be a literary treat that Butler has never had be- fore and may never have again. The country people will want to hear Gen. Gordon, and we predict the capacity of the opera house will not be sufficient to accommodate the audience. The Fuller-Duncan hog case was tried Tuesday and a verdict in favor of the defendant was returned This case has been in court for some time, and was brought by Mr. Ful- \ler to recover damages against Dun- can, for having sold him (as he claimed) a bunch of cholera hogs, which he had shipped to this place for sale. Ata former trial Fuller was given nominal damages, and the court set the verdict aside, on the ground that Fuller ought to have bad more damages or nothing. The costs in this case amount to several hundred dollars. Silvers & Denton and Francisco Bros., represented the defendant and Graves & Clark the plaintiff.

Baxter has started a new paper at Amoret, the Beacon, the first number of which was recived at thie office Saturday. For the size of the town the publication is cred- itable, and the business men should give Mr. B.a hearty support. It’s an undertaking to establish a paper in a small village and the editor without the united sympathy of the people is as goed as a lost babe in the woods. Nothing GREAT REDUCTIONS ALL ALONG.

Special Order No. 2 This Camp having been invited by the committee of management for the observance of the 4th of July at Butler to participate in the exercises of that day, and especially in the “parade.” It is ordered that all members of “Camp Marmaduke” assemble in the city of Butler on the morning of the 4th day of July at 10 o'clock a. m., and it is the earnest request of the Commander that all be promptly on time. C. B. Lorsreicu, Dez C. Mize, Commander. Adjutant. An Ideal Livery Barn. Butler can justly boast of the most conveniently arranged and best managed Livery barn in the state, fitted up with the finest bug- gies and best horses that money can buy. We refer to the Elkhorn Stables, which is as near a model as the long experience and excellent judgment of the popular proprietor, C. B. Lewis, can make it. _ Charley Lewis has been in the livery business for along term of years, and what he doesn't know about “horse” is hardly worth know- ing. He keeps everything clean and orderly about hie premises and his hands are courteous and prompt to wait upon customers. If a man doesn't want a fine rig that will show him off and that he willbe proud of, he needn't go to the Elkhorn stables, for that is the only kind they turn out. In the past two weeks Charley Lewis shipped two car loads of fine horses for which he paid the very highest market price.
