St Joseph went dry last Sunday and not a drink from a saloon could be had. Gov.

The wheat crop in this State will not be so small as predicted in the early spring. Over about St. Charles, the wheat threshing is nearly com- pleted and the farmers claim the average yield is 38 bushels, and that too from fields that were thought to have been totally destroyed by the frosts in the spring.

Daniel, our good farmer friends living three miles south of town presented the Tres Saturday morning with a bas- ket of big red apples, which for size and flavor, we doubt if they could be excelled in Bates or apy other county in the state. The Trves is proud of such good frinds and high- ly appreciate their thoughtfulness in remembering us with such a delie cious giftf. Our esteemed friend, S. W. Gut- ridge, away offin Granite, Oregon, writes us to mark his name up two notches on our subscription book, and we have obliged him by making his date May Ist, 1896. Mr. G. is engaged in merchandising and car- ries a line of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, and his many friends in this neck of the woods will be glad to learn he is doing a good business.

Every exchange that comes to this office, with the exception of one, has spoken in the most flattering terms of Mr. Walton’s lecture and it’s influence for good among the young.

D. Arnold and family leave the last of the week over land for In- diana. Mr. Arnold has rigged up a very comfortable vehicle and the family have adopted this mode of travel for the benefit of Mrs. Arnold’s health.

The Tiwes wishes them a pleasant and profitable trip. The last of the services of “Free Home Lectures,” at the C. P. church was deliyered by Wm. E. Walton, subject, “Some of the Essentials to Success.” By special request of many of our readers we publish the address in full in this issus. The Truxs gives this admirable lecture space not merely to gratify the indi- viduals whe have importuned it’s publication, but in hopes that it will be good seed sown among our young friends who will read it over and profit by the suggestions offered. | D.O. Deacon has just returned from his old home in Wisconsin. He says there has been no rain in om state for a long time, the dust was about four inches deep. Vege- | tatbles of all kinds very scarce, the |corn only about eight inches high, jhay 8 failure and the long and short | of it is, said Mr, Deacon, all kinds jof farm produce was just ; about as near a failure as it was pos- | sible to contemplate and the people were sitting around wondering what | was to become of them. The best thing they can do is to move to Missouri. McFarland Bros. Butler's enter- prising harness men, are putting the foundation for an extention of fifteen feet to their harnessshop. This exe tention will make their store build- ing 100 feet long. The improvement has long been needed as the firm have been greatly cramped for shep room. The Tres is glad of the im- proyement as it willbe benefitted by the extention and theroom for this of- fice was also badly needed. McFar- land Bros., are thirfty business men and their success is due to close at- tention to business and strict reli- ability. The Pleasant Hill papere, the county school superintendent of Cass county and the Harrisonville papers, have been in a contin- uous wrangle for the past month over the location of the inati- tute. The fight they have got up ever the matter is worse than the Sedalia and Jefferson City capital re- moval question or the division of the Cedar county circuit court.Too much fuss and feathers gentlemen, over 8 small matter and a lot of valuable Rewspaper space wasted. A school or religious controversy is a mighty good thing for a newspaper to steer clear of. If the business men of Butler want to drop a few hundred dollars where it will do the most good in the way of helping Bates couaty, they had better hand it to Messrs. Clardy & Bruner, the wideawake real estate men of the county. A short time ago the Tnas printed them four thousand pamphlets which the firm judiciously circu- lated in Illinois, lowa, Ohio and theeastern states and these little books, filled with choice farms and & synopsis of the resources of the county, have borne good fruit. Through this medium of advertising scores of prosperous farmers from other states have been persuaded to visit our county and many of them are with us today. It’s not “on wheels” you reach and catch this class of men, but it’s with the silent httle book that glides'through the mails and does its werk at the fire side of the home of the farmer or mechanic that desires to make a change. Ju- dicious advertising pays and with the little book no bigh salaried pres- ident and secretary is needed, and it gets there just the same.
