The commencement exercises of the Butler High School were held in the Opera House Friday evening which was filled to overflowing with an in- terested and appreciative audience. The decorations for the occasion were well arranged and beautiful. The evening’s entertainment was opened with “The Sailors’ rendered by Misses Adkins, Clay, Newsome and Clay. Rev. W. B. Cobb then offered Glee,” Capt. Frederick Emory, an inmate of the confederate home at Higgins- ville, died last week from the infirm- ities of old age. He was a native of Maryland. He was an engineer in the United States army before the civil war and served as qudrtermas- ter in the army of Virginiain the late war. He was a brother of Major- Gen. Emory of the union army. While the salary of the Butler post- master remains the same, $1,800 per year, the Rich Hill office is cut down from $1,800 to $1,700. For many years past the salaries have been the same.—Record. The Record is certainly in error. Postmaster Welton informs us that this office has been raised to a second class, is paying $2,000 p. m. salary and $1,000 allowance for clerk hire./ Butler is putting on metropolitan airs in all things. The Adrian Journal reports that Ernest, the 13-year-old son of James Hawkins, of East Boone township, was seriously hurt by being kicked in the face by a mule. The hoof of the anima] cut a deep gash from the middle of the left eyebrow to the out- er corner of the right eye. The bone was fractured and the doctors in dressing the wound removed two pieces. The little fellow was reported to be in a precarious condition, but hopes were entertained of his recov- ery. Mrs. Susan Kretzinger, beloved wife of I. M. Kretzinger, daughter of Hon. Jno. B. Newberry, departed this life at the home of her brother- in-law, ex Sheriff Chas. S. Ewin, in this city at 6 o’clock on Tuesday evening, after a protracted illness attended with much suffering, which she bore with christian fortitude. Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday, irom resi- Mr. Ewin, and interment made in Oak Hill cemetery. Mrs. Kretzinger was in her 40th year, was possessed of a sweet disposition and lovely character and by her pure, blameless life the world was made better by her living. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved relatives. To the Christian Endeavor Societies of Bates County. June 9,10 and 11 is the meeting of the district in which we are in.

They enjoy the respect and confidence of all who knew them; and their business dealings are predicated upon sound principles and personal integrity. They have now been in businesssix years and it is only fair to say they have established «a business and a business reputation of which they may well feel proud: This business reputation, and the success achieved by the firm is the result of close and personal attention to business; and to the exercise of good judgment and careful discrimination in buying. They have always sought to know the wants as well as the interests of their customers and endeavored to buy so as to give all patrons the greatest possible value for the amount invested in footwear. They have also been prompt to obtain for their trade the very latest and new- est things in boot and shoe goods, and hence, in a sense, they have be- come the setters of fashion in their line. It affords us pleasure to note that their business has steadily increased, the last year always being the best, and so far this vear all previous rec- ords have been broken for the same months, No doubt this pleasant result is in part due to systematic, sensible and discriminating the local press; and hence we cheerfully accord them this space as among the more continuous this office.
