It is said a number of farmers in the neighborhood of Passaic have started a lumber yard at that town. It is also said they will start a gro- cery store. Heretofore, experiments of this kind have not provena suc- cess, but the one at Passaic may be an exception to the rule. Mayor Clardy is having the weeds removed from the streets. This is something the papers have been harping on for some time and now that the Mayor has begun the good work he deserves the praise of our citizens. Keep it up Mayor till the last weed disappears.

He said “I consider the booming Tiwes the best paper published in the county and you can put my name down on your subscribtion book.” That’s the way we like to hear the good farmers talk. When they want the best they subscribe for the ‘I'res. Sheriff Colyer deserves credit for yard.

Miss Bertie Catron entertained a number of her young friends Tues day evening in honor of her cousin, Miss Mattie Catron, of Lexington, Mo. The evening was pleasantly spent in social conversation and music until about ten o'clock when delightful refreshments were served. Ata late hour the guests departed, pronouncing Miss Bertie a charming hostess. Judge J.C Philips, one of Sum- mit township’s substantial farmers is a new subscriber to the booming Tims. The Judge is one of the big guns of the populist party, but he wants a paper that gives the county and general news, and to get this fresh, complete and correct, he de- cided to take the best paper pub- lished in Bates, the booming Tres.

Lovell, attorney at law at/iand buyers—farmers who have sold their farms recently and expect to buy and locate in this county. These men want to buy homes and have the money to pay for them. Mr. Canterbury is to be congratuled for bringing such substantial citizens to our county. Miss Maggie Abell, who went to Denver a month ago to attend the national teachers association and the normal held at Colorado Springs, returned home Saturday. She had avery pleasant and profitable trip, and will be the better prepared by having attended these schools of education to assume charge of her room in our public scheols next month. Miss Maggie is one of Butler’s fine teachers and the reason is she never loses an opportunity to better inform herself in the edu cational line. A gasoline stove in Lete Sackett’s lunch room, on the south side of the square, used for heating coffee, came near causing a conflagrstion Saturday. The stove fed too fast and the blaze went to the ceiling, enveloping the tank and burning tke papering from the wall and ceiling. The fire created quite a commotion and the alarm was sounded, but the blaze was extin- guished without the aid of the de partment. It was a miracle the tank did not explode. Had it done so the frame buildings on the southeast corner might have given the new chief a chance to show his ability as a fire figbter. The Ties received a letter from G. D. Arnold, who left overlanda short time ago for Seymour, Indiana, on a visit to relatiyes and friends He reports that they made the trip without accident in eighteen days and had a pleasant time of it.

Warder, was shot to death by George Wash- burne, a tenant on his farm at Mary- ville Kentucky, the 3rd inst. The following particulars of the killing is taken from the Kansas City Star: “Hiram T. Warder was shot in | the breast this morning by George Washburne, who is a tenant on Warder's farm. The two men have had numerous quarrels. Yesterday it is said, Warder chased Washburne {for half a mile with a revolver. 'This morning Warder aecused Washburne’s son of stealing a piece of rope,when the shooting occurred. Warder was struck by five bullets, | each one taking effect in the breast. He lived only a few minutes. Warder was an ex-sheriff of Lewis county, and planned the capture of the notorious Underwood gang dur- ing the war. He was one of the gamest men that ever trod on Ken- tucky soil and would have killed Washburne had he recovered.” Why Not You?
