Deacow Bros. & Co Prof. Beeson, of Butler, is receiv ing many compliments for the excel- Jent lecture course which he has arranged. Every lecture in the course is first class, and is worthy the patronage given. Such enter- prises are a benetit toa community and the person who launches them is a benefactor. Those who desire to attend may rest assured that they will be rewarded for the time and money spent. They are rare literary treats.—Adrian Journal. The real estate men of southwest Missouri met at Nevada last week and perfected a permanent organiza- tion, for the purpoge of advertising this section of the State. C. C. Davidson of ElDorado Springs was elected President and G. W. Clardy, of, Butler Seeretary.

Herrell, Adrian’s popular | insurance agent, was in the city | Tuesday and favored us pleasantly and substantially. He is agent for the Home Insurance Co. and eight old line companies. He was the third best agent in thestate in send- ing in ineurance policies the last year and considered on the loss ratio list he was first. Johnis pop- ular with the people and by fair dealing he has won the confidence of all. J. P. Edwards, one of the wealth- iest farmers and stock-raisers in the county, whore magnificient farm adjoins Butler on the north, was in to see us and to settle up for his paper and the ones going to his children Mrs. Conger, in Columbia, Mo., and Mrs. Arnold in Santa Ros- alia Springs, Mexico. Mr. Edwards is one of the most public spirited of our citizens and there has been few public improyements in Bates coun- ty with which he have not been allied. His name is prominently mentioned in connection with the Presiding Judgeship, and he would make a good and. The Rich Hill Reyiew takes Pat O'Neil, Justice of the Peace of that town, to task for some of his extrav agaut decisions. It says he recently sent a man to the county jail to lay out a fine and cost bill of $25, for stealing a 25 cent neck yoke On last Friday Wilton Madison, a youth 17 years of age, was brought before “his honor” for stealing some rings off a harness, worth 25 cents. The boy claimed he was trying to collect a 75 cent debt. Justice O'Neal, after a futile attempt to compromise with the father of the lad for the costs, sentenced him to 200 days in the county jail and he was brought to Butler by constable Harve John son Saturday. This may bea very good method of terrorizing that elass of gentry into paying costs, but how does the county fare in such transactions? The tax-payers of Bates county can hardly afford to indulge this justice of the peace in his little eccentricities. W. G. Sellon, a prominent farmer and stock breeder of our county, had an auction sale of fourteen head record bred cattle, in Butler last Thursday. They were numbered from 1 to 14, with pedigrees printed in pamphlet form, and sold as fol- lows: No.1 to G. W. Kirtley, Pas- saic, $85. No. 2 to T. McCrea, Mer- win, $90. No.3 to W. D.

Hayes, at the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Jenkins, Tuesday evening. The ladies were dressed as maidens, | matrens, school girls, princess and /| peasants, and they just turned them | selves locse and had a jolly good} time from beginning to end. A little bird told us quite confidentially that} some of the grandmas could cut the! pigeon wing equal to the maidens; however we are not to teil all that happened. The hostesses are adepts | in the culinary art and the splendid | supper spread before the guests could not be excelled in this market. j Thirty-five ladies were present and | they all join in saying they never had so much fun. _ _— ae OS |the Ohio street Baptist church. | The Trvss regrets very much to) announce that Mra.

The interests of the | Sunday School and other depart- | ments of church work seemed to call} for better facilities and more room. | Plans for the erection of the build-| ing were soon adopted and the work was pushed through without inter-| | ruption. Our Baptist friends now have 10 addition to their chapel room, four other commodious rocms whieb are regularly brought into service, Ia} the addition proper there is a prayer meeting room which will comfort-| ably seat more than a hundred There is also an office room of con- venient size and by its side a room for use on baptizing occasions. These rooms are finished in a manner which lends at once cheer aod comfort to the worshipers. Two large doors are so arranged as to admit the prayer meeting room in to the auditorium when occasion requires. The church is to be con- gratulated upon its increased pros-| perity as well as increased advant- ages for usefulness. At 11 o’clock last Sunday Rev E. 3S. Graham of Hannibal, preached the dedication sermon and the build- ing was formally given to the Lord} for his service at the evening wmeet-j{ ing.

When loafing in our eity we hear most every subject talked on. Gold, silver, the future of hogs and cattle, the manner of farming, and so on, Last week the talk was about the Free Methodist doctrine, some think it is impossible to live the life they teach fromthe Bible, while others say they feel sure of one thing, not many are living on that line, others say whatever a person is interested in he will work in that direction. A person having a herd of cattle will work to get something out of them, others say it seems so strange many of the church members work harder to care for their stock than they do to build up the morals of their fami- lies, others say it looks so strange to them that members of otherchurches do not help the Free Methodists in their work. They all aim to work for the same end and why not work together; some think it does not mat- ter what church they belong to if they live right every day and help every good cause along.
