Graves & Clark. attorneys, are | attending court at Osceola this week. | They have several very important law suits pending in that court, among them being the Walter Crabtree case which will probably go jover to the next term. The merchants of Butler hada tremendous trade Saturday. The} streets and sidewalks around the public square were literally packed with people and vehicles. It was the biggest day's trading in three months. Gen. John B. Gordon delivered his lecture “The Last Days of the Confederacy,” at Indianap- olis,Indiana, the 1st, and was intro- duced to the immense audience which greeted him by ex president Harrison. Miss Mattie McReynolds, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. B. K. McRey- nolds, of Elkhart township, died Friday evening last. The funeral services were held at fairview church and the remains were laid to rest in Crescent Hill cemetery. Gen. John B. Gordon will deliver his famous lecture ‘The Last Days of the Confederacy” at Clinton the 29th. The General delivered this in Butler some time ago and it was the universal opinion of those who were present that it was the finest address ever delivered in the opera house. Judge Lay is holding court at Osceola this week. The case of the state against Walter Crabtree will be called and probably continued to next term, as Judge Lay will open court in this city next Tuesday the time to try the case and transact other business before him would be too limited. There were several families in But- ler from Kavsas Saturday buying their winter’s supply of clothing and groceries. One family was here from Pleasanton. Big stocks of goods, low prices, polite treatment and a liberal supply of printer's ink is the principal ingredient that is attracting the buyers to this city. The good people at Slater, Saline county, are holding prayer meetings and sending up petitions for rain. The wells and cisterns have all given out in the town and a water famine exists. To feed their machine shops and engines the Chicago and Alton railroad is hauling water from the Missouri riyer 17 miles. All Adrian is rejoicing over the completion of their new brick school house. It isa handsome structure and the good people of that thriving little city have a just right to be proud of their achievement. The district made one mistake, the build ing ought to have been heated by steam, it would not only have been economy but much more convenient and pleasant. It is to hoped the public schools of this city will hereafter refrain from taking part in the show busi- ness, as a side issue to draw a crowd for traveling strangers who may come to our tewn for personal gain. In taking part in these exhibitions and the enlistment of the attention of teacher and pupil, either the schools or the entertainment must suffer, and we predict the tax-payers would rather it be the entertain- Look out for Mother Goose, che | | ment.

The town is flour- ishing as it never has prospered be- fore. There has been no lack or work for laboring men in Butler this year. Every man that wanted work found it, and all he could do. Joe T. Hensley, one of our sub- stantial farmers, living in the west ern part of the county, is a new sub- scriber to the booming Times The academic department of the Academy has 103 pupils enrolled. Under the present management the college is very prosperous this year, United in marriage on Nov. 5th, 1895, by Wm. M. Dalton, Judge of Probate court Mr. Arthur Westover, of Virginia, and Miss Dora Fergu son, of Adrian. The farmers should be careful against firethis dry weather. The lighting of a pipe by a hired hand destroyed three fields of corn in Vernon county last week. Jack Dempsey, the noted pugilist, died of consumption at Portland, Oregan, Friday. He claimed that his sickness was the result ofa punch from Fitzsimmon’s fist. Circuit court will convene in this city Tuesday morning. The docket contains about 200 cases and it will take probably three or four weeks of Judge Lay’s time to dispose of the business in his court. Mr. and Mrs. Franz Bernhardt have returned home from Kansas, where Mrs. B. has been under the care of a cancer specialist for several weeks. She is much improved and thinks will be permanently cured. Mrs. Mel Campbell, who had been called to Parsons, Kansas a couple ef weeks ago on account of the seri- ous iliness of Ler sister, Mrs. Hun- ter. has returned home. She left her sister much improved in health. Will Pentzer was arrested Satur- day night for drawing a revolver on Mr. Warder and threatening him with violence. He was released on bond Sunday to appear for trial Monday, but he hit the road and left his bondsman 1n the soup. The Warrensburg Normal and Clinton Academy foot ball teams played at Warrensburg Saturday. The score stood, Warrensburg 20, Clinton 0. The Warrensburg team will play the Butler boys Thanksgiv- ing day. Senator Jno. B. Newberry gave the Tiwzs a pleasant call Monday.

The foundation for Mr Pentzer’s brick strueture on north main street is being put in. The merchants of Butler are hav- ing an immense trade. The reason is they are wide awako and sell goods cheaper than they could be had in other towns. John Briden, one of our energetic young farmers, called Saturday. He said he could not keep house with- out the Tives and to keep it coming. Thanks John and may your shadow never grow less. A. J. Voris, one of the solid farm- ers of Spruce, one of the first men to subscribe for the bsoming Ties and therefore is reckoned as one of fathers of our subscription books. He thinks a great deal of the Tres and we assure him that the friend- ship igmutual. Workmen are getting along nicely with the new addition to the Bates Co. Bank. A few more days of pretty weather and the masons will complete the brick work. When done Messrs Clardy & Bruner will have one of the most convenient and attractive offices in the town. The Ties regrets very much that vations more fully convinced him that he lived in the best state in the Union. The insurance rates at St. Louis and Clinton and other places in the state has been greatly reduced in the past month. Isn’t it about time the rate was being lowered in this city. Butler basa fine fire de partment and there is no reason for the companies retaining the high| rate in this town and reducing them | jin other places. John F.

The only permanent cure for chronic catarrh is to thoroughly ex- pel the poison from the system by the faithful and persistent use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This wonderful remedy proves successful when all | other treatment has failed to relieve | the sufferer. Lane & Adair are having « big trade on cloaks. They still havea large assortment and as their line is all first class and latest styles the pick and choice is just as good now |as when they received them. If you have not made the purchase of a cloak yet call and see them before you buy, as they are saling extra cheap to avoid carrying over gar- ments to next season. Protracted Meeting. Rev.
