Boxley, the pres- ent efficient Probate Judge, informs us that he will be a candidate to sue- ceed himeelf. He is now filling out the unexpired term of Judge Dalton, deceased. He has made a careful, conservative, painstaking oficial and his previous majorities attest his popularity with the people.

Charles began with the first issue when it was the Bates County Advocate, and James has been with us a number of years. We are glad to record such men among our friends and patrons. The boarding house on the north- west corner of the square, John Hutchinson, proprietor, caught fire Saturday and for a few minutes it appeared the building would go. But the early arrival of the fire company soon stopped the blaze with slight damage to the house and contents. The fire started in a north room and was fast gaining headway, when dis- covered. This is W. 0. Atkeson forces himself to the front with the aim and desire to become the head and shoulders and big boss of the republican party of this county. As aparty leader Atke- son is a great mouthpiece and reso- lutor. Further than that he has never been very formidable or dan- gerous.

The prospects for a good cherry crop are more encourag- ing,said Mr. Bowman, but the straw- berry crop will also belight, probably not more than enough berries to sup- ply the home market. We feel sure our readers will be much interested in watching closely the ads of the Farmers Bank of ‘this city. It is their custom to write their ads on subjects of general interest and pay special attention to the mechan- ical effect of same. In addition to this, by changing them weekly, they are not permitted to become stale, and in this way, they keep up public interest. You will find two different ads in this issue. The Kansas City Journal reports that Mrs. Jennie T. Derrell has brought suit against her husband, Wm. Derrell, in the courts of that city for divorce. She alleges that ‘he has not supported herand that about 1889 he deserted her for a whole year, and that since then he has mis- treated her in various ways. Mrs. Derrell formerly resided in this city and is a most estimable lady. Since her residence i Kansas City she has been keeping ached house. ize See Our 6 and (0 cent , Mra, W. B.
