Fall plowing admits of early planting and it has been clearly demonstrated that the earlier corn is planted the better the crop in this county. The acreage of wheat planted in this county is not large, but the fields planted are looking fine. Owing to the depredation of bugs the farmers have almost quit rai: wheat in this county.

H. Parker, of that neighborhood, a few days ago. She was returning home, riding on a load of coal and fell from 'the wagon, breaking two of her ribs. Two weeks ago her husband —met with an accident in which one of his ‘legs was broken. | J. A.

He | thinks the Indian Territory could be ‘made a great farming country. Mr. | Wright has many friendsin our coun- ty, where he was born and raised. J. M. Howe, of Moorefield, Ky., re- members us with a renewal and kind expressions. He has large interests in the western part of Bates, has vis- ited oureounty a number of times and has many friends here. He is a courteous, clever gentleman and we hope some day he will conclude to come to our county to live. Our city is being stirred up on re- ligious matters. Four of the churches the M. E.,C. P., M. E., South, and Presbyterian are having revival meet- ings at night and each afternoon at 3 o'clock they hold union services in one of the churches.

Judge Graves spent the last of the week and Monday of this week in Lexington defending young Ripley, from this county, charged with rape. Judge Graves was counsel in chief for him before he was elected to the bench. He received a telegram Tues- day that the jury stood six tosix and had been discharged. He thinks it ends the case, as this was the third trial. Wednesday evening of last week, Frank Walters and Miss Cora Sartain the handsome and _ accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Sar- tain, residing four miles north of Adrain, were united in marriage by Rev. J. A. Brown. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride’s parents and was witnessed by a host of friends of the contracting parties. The groom is a prosperous young business man of Adrian. The Old Maids’ Convention, held at the Opera House Tuesday night was quite well attended, notwithstanding the evening was very inclement. Those present report a delightful entertainment, the characters and make up splendid and was exceeding- ly funny from beginning tojend. It is to be hoped that it will be repeated so that our people will all have an opportunity to see how old maids act when they are together. Harness thieves are plying their vo cation in Vernon county. The thieves have been operating in the neighbor- hood of Milo, an] quite a number of farmers have suffered the loss of their harness. Becoming tired of these petty thieves a number of farmers met Friday night, and headed by Mr. Eaton, went after and arrested three men who gave their names as How- ard, Potter and Stenard. The pris- oners were taken to Sheldon. F. W. Winters. a prominent and respected German farmer of Pleasant Gap township, died Sunday night at 9 o'clock. Death was caused from a severe attack of pneumonia. The de- ceased was 70 years old and an old settler of the county. As a monu- ment to his memory he leaves an un- stained character. Honest in his dealings, and a true neighbor and friend. Mr. Winters was the father of Mrs. M. L. Fry and W.C. and Fred Winters, honored citizens of this county.

The Times extends best wishes to the cou- ple. J.W. Breidenthal, bank sioner of Kansas, says there is anor- ganized gang of bank rolsbers in Kansas, and warns banks to guard their vaults. Inthe past few weeks six bank safes have been wrecked and all the robbers escaped. Sheriff Mudd went to Sedalia on Wednesday after John Faulkner, ar- rested for robbing the Amsterdam Bank. Quite a number of new Colum- bia coins were taken from the bank and Faulkner had in his possession and was displaying a number of this | coin and could not satisfactorily ex- | plain how hecame by them.

Two women were arrested in But- ler last week for shoplifting. They were middle aged, well dressed and rather prepossessing looking and each wore a long cloak. One had a child about 3 years old. They had goods in their possession taken from the stores of Sam Levy & Co., Spot Cash, Max Weiner, The Model, The Owl Drug store and the Cash Depart- ment. They were tried before Squire Hem- street and given ten days in jail and costs. They gave the names of Mrs. Hattie Lane, living south of Rich Hill, and Mrs. Hattie Straw, of Kan- sas City.

A lodge of the Fraternal Aid Asso- | ciation was organized at Foster last week with 24 charter members. The rain has put a stop to the ma- jcadamizing on Ohio street for the present. Two weeks of good weather and the work would have been com- pleted to the depot. T. Hulen and wife left last week for Kansas city to spend several weeks. Mr. H. owns several lots in that city and while there intends to improve them by building a couple of nice res- idences.
