It will be remembered that Mr. Winters went to Canada with quite a party of neighbors to locate, but it seems that he liked old Bates the best. We are informed by Harry Robin- son that his brother Cal, who has been at Bevier, Mo., will about the first of December open out a black- smith shop at Passaic. Cal Robin- son isa splendid blacksmith and we can recommend him to the people of that section. The negroes overat Columbia, Mo., have &tarted a newspaper for the benefit of their race, Rufus Logan is editor. No doubt the paper will benefit the race provided Rufus can get them to subscribe for bis publica- tion and pay in advance. At the office of Squire B. F.

During the services at a negro church near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Sunday, Henry Davis quarreled with Abraham Allen, with whom he was occupying the samepew. Davisshot at Allen and missed him, and the bul- let went through the heart of Jerry: Wilson on the opposite side of the chureh, killing him dead. A pound party given by Misses Cora and Lee Johnson, at the home of their parents two miles west and one mile north of Butler, the evening ofthe 6th inst., was attended by 46 young people of the neighbor- hood. The occasion was enlivened by games and music. Refreshments were served and the young folks in taking their leave, one and all, ex- pressed themselves as having had a| & most pleasant time. One of the happiest social functions ofthe season was the “childrens” party given by Mrs.G. W. Shafer and Mrs. T. W. Arnold, at the former’s a beautiful and spacious home on Ohio street. on last Thursday afternoon. | [© Imagine staid matrons, dressed in short frocks und fancy stockings, playing juvenile games and indulg- ingin all kinds of sportive tricks known to young Americas. a delicious dinner was served prim nurses saw that the young ones be-| fa] haved themselves and didn’t soil their frocks. They say they hada “bully good time.” R.I. Trundle, a young man attend- ing high school at Pleasant Hill, Mo., while visiting a friend near Hutchin- son, Kansas, a short time ago shot a bullet into a mail box by the side of the road. Complaint was made to the postoffice authorities, a war- rant was issued for the arrest of Trundle in Topeka, a deputy mar- shal was sent to Pleasant Hill and the young’ man in foot ball costume, just ready for a game, was arrested and taken to Kansas City and put under a $300 bond to appear for trial in the federal court of Kansas. He told the officer he shot the hole through the mail box, but did not think it did any particular harm.

Welton, formerly a Butler boy, brother of postmaster A. O. Welton, relatives and old friends in Butler last week and favored us pleasantly. ,A monthly stock sale day has been inaugurated in Cass county. The sale is held in Harrisonville and on that day each farmer brings his sur- plus stock in and the auctioneer does the rest. The little town of Gunn City, Case county, was wiped out by fire, with the exception of one store, one day last week. Several stores, including the post office-and-a-livery stable, went up in smoke. : H. H. Wyse returned a few days ugo from Texas, where hespent three weeks with relatives. He had anex- cellent time and enjoyed himself hunting and fishing. A large number ef cattle has been shipped from the eastern half of Kan- sae to pasture on the wheat fields in the western part of the state. The wheat has made a rank growth and will be benefitted by being pastured. L. 8. Keirsey, popular merchant at Bailard, called Tuesday and had sale bills struck fora sale of some live stock and farmiug implements on his farm, 1 mile west and 1 mile north of that postoffice on Thursday, Nov. 21. Joe Meyer left Monday morning for Chicago, where he willepend this week buying clothing and gent’s furnish-|- ings for his store. - Joe said he had tip that he could buy goods and expected to put some big bar- gains on sale on his retarn. Several personsfrom Butler, friends of the family, attended the funeral of Miss Viola 8. Griffith, at Rich Hill Thursday of last week. The deceas-| ed was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, 7 John Griffith, and for several years | nected ~ with: - was Mere. Co., a8 cashier of the firm. er, of Vernon county. Johnson goes for two years and Bates for three. Henry Dykman and J. H. Albers were in the city Tuesday soliciting aid in the building of a new German Lutheran church at Virginia, near Capt. Nickell’sfarm. Nothwithstand- ing the business men and others of our city have been liberal in their gifts to home churches in course of erection, the solicitors did reasona- bly well in their effort. We would be very glad if the city of Butler was able to put in a sewer system and reiieve the Carpenter & Shafer Company and the Ross Hotel of their embarrassment. But the people of Butler are not responsible for their condition and then certainly there were no sewers or promise of sewers to induce them tolocate them. We are sorry for the dilema in which they find themselves, but the city of Butler cannot afford to become further involved at this time. The Republican-Prees is defending the course of President Roosevelt in inviting a negro to dine with him. We don’t suppose there is a man or woman in Bates county who would care two straws if Mr. Atkeson would eat with negroes to his heart’s con- tent, nordo they object to Mr. Roose- velt. humiliating the negro in the same way. What they do object to the President of the United States thus trying to establish such a prece- dent. Eight buman bodies were taken theChicago Burlington and Quincy railroad at Chicago the other day. The bodies were sewed up in canvas and packed in excelsior and billed as second hand Igundry machinery and consigned to R. J. Jones, of Brashear Mo.

He will make his debut on the stage November 25 at Zanesville, Ohio, in a part entitled, “Across the Desert."" The company will tour Ohio, making a trip almost into Canada. It will not appear west of the Mississippi. James’ part will be to portray the character of a pros- perous westerner. There will be no blood curdling scenes in the play. “I do not expect to become an actor in the true sense of the word,” said James. “lam getting old, unless I build up a small surplus within the next few years, I must find my way to the confederate home.” Hereto- fore he has stoutly resisted all offers to go on ‘he stage, offers of a salary from $300 to $1,000 a week. Rev.8. T. Slack, charged with biga- my, was arraigned in court Tuesday and plead guilty to thecharge against him, and was sentenced by the court to six months’ imprisonment in the county jail The light sentence im- posed was mainly due to a sympa- thetic appeal from Slack’s deserted wile in Nebraska asking that, not for Slack, but for the sake of their chil dren and to save them from the dis. grace attached to a penitentiary sen- tence that the court deal lienient with the recreant husband and father. Slack’s present wife, formerly Miss Hess, also addressed a mercy appeal court. The court also took under consideration the fact that when Slack left his wife in Nebraska, hesurrendered to her all his property, and upon his statement that hej (Slack) had reasons to believe that | his wife had secured ardivorce the | light sentence was imposed.

The session of the Grand En- campment will be held in the hall of Vernon lodge No. 490.

On Monday night Nov. 18th, an in- formal reception will be given by the two subordinate lodges, in the hall of Vernon lodge No. 450, to the members of the grand encampment, and work will be given in the degrees of the subordinate lodge ANOTHER VIEW. Since writing the sewer article in another column we had an interview with Mayor Duvall on that subject. Hesaid, in substance, that hedid not believe it practical at this time to put ina complete system of sewers. That the revenue of the town was not suf- ficient to warrant it. That he was opposed to bonding tie town for that purpose. He said he believed a sewer could be built around the square, sufficient to accommodate the court house and jail, the hotels, creamery, ice plant, etc., at a nomi- nalcost. That the interested parties and business men, he felt satisfied, would help liberally, and in that way the city could pay for it in a year or two by a direct levy. Such a project he would give him two years in the penitentiary. ~ and council and all directly interest- ed parties will work to that end, ( | Tak Times was cemplimented the other day by a call from Mrs. John | B. Hayes, of near Ballard, accom- | panied by her handsome and accom- | plished daughters, Woody, Bessie, ) Edith and little son, Floyd. Mrs. Hayes had just returned from a ffye weeks’ visit with relatives in Fresno county, California. She found her mother, Mrs. A. E. Miller, who is 72 years of age, well and hearty and overjoyed to see her, as well as her son Sam T. Hayes. She said she also had the pleasure of meeting her brother, J. M. Allison, who came 450 miles to see her. Mrs. Hayes visited many points of interest in Califorma during her stay, among which was San Francisco, where she saw large ocean steamers in port. She expressed herself as having had a most delightful time, but glad to get back home again. RE CRs + NEW LINES.
