Later on I will try and give you a full list of the | names of all persons who doneted | their coin to make our picnic sucha} glorious success. | The weather, though cloudy, was} most favorable as a promoter of | solid comfort, and the very liberal advertising given us by the newspa- per fraternity brought to our town the largest number of people that ever metin Butler. It is believed that had the heavens shown clearand bright at five o’clock in the morning when our old people abandoned their peaceful slumbers, and cast their weather eye upward, it would haye been difficult to have properly cared for all that would have come to our beautiful city, the Queen of the Prai- ries. To those who so liberally do- nated their funds, and to the news- paper fraternity throughout the county we extend our hearty thanks. The numerous old relics in the bal! way of the court house was an inter- esting feature of the meeting. So dense was the crowd, constantly sur- rounding the show cases that it was impossible for the secretary to secure a list of the relics. There were books, knives, bugles and clothing hun- dreds of years old. The Old English Parchments and coins exhibited by Dr Everingham were interesting, in- deed, as were the two coverleta woven by the band of Henry France in 1316, and in use ever since. We hope next TiMES ied at pre issur sin | ing and ‘or atime the entire city was threstened. On Tuesday of last week Mrs. J. Y. Whitsitt received a telegram from Denver, Colo., announcing the death of her mother, Mrs. Kelley, of paralysis. The remains were breught to Lathrop, Mo., her home, and laid to rest beside her husband. Mrs. Whitsitt left Wednesday for that place to attend the funeral. While in the Farmers Bank a few days ago the Tures man was shown the new government imprinted stamps on checks, which they are distributing to their customers without extra charge. This is surely quite an accommodation to the pub lic as it saves customers the trouble of applying the stamps and does away with the necessity of cancelling same. A Brutal Assault. Saturday night Fred Asher, a tough character of Adrian, assaulted A. E. Mills, an old and respected citizen of that town, who was serv- ing at the time in the capacity of night watch. Asher was drunk and boisterous and when Mills remon. strated with him, he knocked the officer down and beat him in a most brutal manner, breaking his nose, his cheek bone, gouging one eye nearly out, besides bruising bim about the head and shoulders. He is reported ina precarious conditior. Mr. Mills is a frail old man of 72 years, while Asher is a young man of 34 or 35 years, well built and weighs over 200 pounds Sheriff Mudd was telegraphed and ea he arrived Sunday morning he found the citizens greatly excited, and eighty six members of the Cen tral Protective Association had| gathered and cffered their services to the Sheriff to run down the crim inal.

After some delightful music by Batler’s celebratede band, Divine blessing wasinvoked in a very impressive manner by W. F. Jones, pastor of the Chio Street M. E. church. Brother Jones has the happy faculty of say- ing beautiful and impressive things in prayer as well as in sermons. Mayor Francisco’s address of wel- come was hearty and in eloquent terms of diction, but he is so accus- tomed to court proceedings, that he persisted in addressing our old set- tlers as ‘‘Gentlemen and Ladies of the jury.” It isthought he discovered some particularly interesting and beautiful face in the audience that reminded him of ‘‘something” and slightly ‘‘rattled” him. Howeyer, we thank you John, for your kind words of welcome. Hon. Clark Wir, vice president of the society, re- sponded in his usual happy and elo- quent manner. His remarks were appropriate and appreciated by all. Our Butler glee club sang some beautiful songs that were highly ap- preciated. Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you most kindly. The Rich Hill and Adrian glee clubs were on the program for some songs, but both failed to materialize. No doubt they are saving their voices for our next annual meeting, at which time they will surely be called on for dou- ble service. Miss Stella Christy’s reading of “The Channet of the New Union,” was much appreciated. It certainly P n contains a beautiful sentiment.
