He was ason of Dan McConnell, living south east of Butler. After school that day, he was on his way home, accom- panied by young Kennedy, son of Charley Kennedy.

A small ripple of excitement and in- signation was caused in Amoret Mon- day by an article which appeared in the Butler Democrat. The Democrat employs Jaines Henry Sisson as a writer and last week he mentioned Sherman’s march and the civil war in a manner that caused indignation among its readers here. We are told that ten of the Democrat's Amoret € subscribers ordered their paper dis- continued on account of it.—Amor- et Beacon. W.H. H. Duke, of Grand River, complimented us while in the city Saturday. He informed us that he had about made up his mind to sub- mit his name before the democratic county treasurer. Mr. Duke has been a citizen of Bates almost ,from its organization convention for as a county. He has always been an ac- tive, unswerving democrat and no man stands higher as a man and citizen.

Mr. Hackett went into the populist party a few years ago like a large number of oth- er good men, in good faith and sin- cere in the reforms its platforms pro fessed. When that party got into the hands of a few political mounte- banks who attempted to carry it in to the republican fold. Mr. Hackett and his like returned to the de cratic party and did valliant ser in thatcampaign. A number of good democrats think Mr. Hackett’s ser- vices are worthy of recognition with a good office. In company with County Clerk Broaddus, Capt. F. L. Pitts, state treasurer, and candidate for Auditor. complimented our sanctum on Tues- day. Captain Pittshas made a most excellent record as treasurer, and has a number of friends in who think he ought to be promoted.
