It required 3,245 pounds of turkey, five barrels of cranberries, four barrels of flour and forty five dozen of eggs. For desert 2,500 equares of gingerbread were distributed. Col Pace has made the state a most efficient of ficer, and no doubt his departure from the institution will be regret- ted by the prisoners who have learn ed to respect him for his many acts of kindness to them. Our little lady friend, Miss Ethel Lowery, did the right thing in pre senting her father with a Christmas present. She called and had the booming Times sent to his address, Santa Rosa, California, for ene year. Miss Ethel is making her home with her sister, Mrs. Shaffer, and is one of Butler’s brightest little ladies, and in making her father a present it is evident her taste runs in the right channel acd that her early ed ucation has not been neglected. Afetlow named C. E. Conger, representing a picture enlarging house was given a sound threshing at Rich Hill Saturday by E. R. Mc- Quitty. Conger had insulted Mrs. McQuitty, by foreing his way into the house against the protests of that lady. When her husband re turned home she informed him of the insult. Mr. McQuitty went in search of the fellow and finding him on the streets proceeded to decorate bis countenance in the most approv- ed style.

Stanley was arrested and gave bond in the sum of $500. Wednes- day morning he was rearrested and placed in jail to await the eesult of the woman’s wounds. Previous to the above difficulty Stanley was arrested and fined for: breaking a window in the front of the Senate saloon. The Martin woman is one of the worst and vilest that has ever dis- graced this town and there is little sympathy for her in her present predicament. The assault on her life, however, is unpardonable and if Stanley be the guilty party pros- ecuting attorney Clark will show him no quarter in the prosecution. Stanley has employed W. O. Jack- son to defend him Killed His Sweetheart and Himself. Huron, S.
