The lawns are beginning to look green and pretty about town, iA We understand quite a number of farmers are sowing oats. Ira Ludwick and his pretty young boogg were shopping in Butler Mon- lay. Nevada has dropped out of the short shipment racing circuit and will hold no fair this year. H.S8. Williams favored us pleasant- ly while in the city Tuesday.

A department.of poultry farming has been added to the state universi ty. So the Missouri hen is winning distinction in the best universities. Rey.

Jesse Leonard, the demented negro was brought before the county court Friday last and sent to the St. Jo- seph asylum, where they havea ward for colored patients. The few warm days brought out the high steppers and fancy drivers. It will be some time, however, be- fore pleagure riding on the country roads can be enjoyed. While St. Patrick’s day was not observed in Butler by a demonstra- tion, a large number of our citizens displayed their loyalty to old Ireland by wearing of the green. H. H. Rogers, principal of the pub- lic schools at Osceola has given up teaching and will engage in the prac- tice of law in the Indian Territory. The buds on the maple trees are swelling and with the present warm weather continuing a little longer will begin to put out leaf. Mrs. T. L.

He recently sold out in this county and moved to that state. Wm. Daly, accused of being one of the men who robbed the bank at Richards, Mo., was tried at Nevada afew days ago and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. Judge Graves was over at Clinton Friday and appointed commissioners to assess dawages along the line of the proposed Rock Island railroad being built through the northern part of that county. A. A. Seese, the butcher, has bought the brick business house on thesouth- east corner of the square, known as the grange store. Mr. Seese will use the building for his meat market.

McUann, who superintended the work and saw that a first-class job was done, The resignation of Payson Hart- well as night patrolman was accept- ed Tuesday, and Parish Nickell was appointed to fill the place.

ANDREWS Co., 606 Delaware Street, Kansas City, Mo. In making the prediction that there would be nothing done in Congress this winter, Judge DeArmond, we will admit,missed his guess. Asall records have been broken in the appropria- tions of money, the ‘Tom Reed billion dollar congress not being in it. From ex-Recorder R. G. West, who waa in the city on Tuesday, we learn of the serious illness of our friend G. L. Burge, a pioneer farmer and one of New Home township's most hon- orable citizens. Mr. West says he is wasting away, and has but little strength left to combat an insidious disease. The Carpenter & ShaferCo., tor the past month have had an expert at work remodeling, enlarging and making extensive improvements in their ice plant.

Trimble celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, by entertain- ingalarge number of her lady friends at an afternoon reception, It was a delightful affair, as such occasions always are, and the ladies enjoyed Mrs Trimble prepared for them. It being St. Patrick's day was simply a coin- cident, The Republican press is taking ex- ceptions to the cut of Senator Stone’s new coat on the ground that it em- phasizes hisslenderness, If the sena- tor had changed his coat every time his political opponents detected a flaw in it he would have escaped all danger of criticism in the United States senate by not being there.— Nevada Post. Alex Cameron has sold his business lot on the South side of the square to John Johnson. The purchase price was $1,200. Mr. Johnson is 4 traveling salesman for the Armour packing company. We were unable to learn Mr. Johnson’s intentions as to what he would do with the lot, but suppose he will build a business house. The trade was made through the real estate firm of Atchison & Bevington. At a meeting of the exectutive com- mittee held at Carrollton, Mo., a few days ago, Judge W. W. Graves, of this city, was elected president of the Missouri State Poultry Association. The next exhibit of thestate associa- tion will be held at Boonville, Mo., December 8 to 11. Judge Graves takes great interest in the pet stock shows, and the executive committee in selecting a president acted with rare good judgment. When you are asked to price your farm it will be well to recall the fact that Vernon was the fifth Missouri county in the production of corn in 1962 and Missouri was the first state in the Union. It is also well to reftect upon the fact that the secretary of agriculture has said that the lowest priced landsin the United States, considering their productive powers, are those of Missouri.—Nevada Post. The same is applicable to Bates, except that Bates ranked first in the state as a corn producing county. Last week we published the finan- cial statement of the bank of Mer- win, which makes a most excellent showing. With a capital stock of $10,000, it has deposits of $73,- 796.66,-and ws -of nearly $22,000. This bank wasestablished by Capt. Martin on the expiration of his term as County Recorder, and un- der the able- management of our popular young friend C. P. Catron, cashier, it is prospering and makin, money for the stockholders. We wis the institution and Mr. Catron abun- dant success, J.C. Clark’s smoke house caught fire Wednesday night of last week and was consumed before the fire de- rtment, which responded prompt- ly tocall, arrived. The boys, how- ever, were on time to save the reei- dence, which otherwise would have been burned. The smoke house con- tained a large quantity of lard be- sides all of recently cured meat. We understand the hams and shoulder were cooked to a turn, and the neigh- bors who were fortunate enough to be remembered pronounced t! par excellence. The cause of the fire, we understand, was hot ashes which the girl had thrown out. A sensible young lady of Rush Springs, says the Landmark, made the following request of her friends: “Do not lay me down by the —— brookside, lest the babbling lovers wake me from my dreams, nor in the beautiful cemeteries in the valley lest sightseers cooing over epitaphs = Mens 50c work tract me; but let me sleep under counter of the merchant and business man who never advertises. There is the that passeth understand- ing, and deep is the in which ther the buoyant foo ofyouth nor the shuffle of old age will ever in- trude.” om - (te — - fer in} . ; ead by his | attendinganart school.

While at work on the west side of the asylum at Nevada digging ahole workmen unearthed a kit of tools. There were eight saws, a lot of hatch. ets, hammers, braces, bits and chis- els. No doubt the hardware had been stolen. R. Ed.

Ourgood friend D, H. Kash, Demo- cratic committeeman for Deep Water township, was a pleasant caller and had his dates set ahead. He is a strong man in his party, and his name is already mentioned for the next nominee for sheriff. The Rich Hill Review has cause to feel proud of the endorsement it re- ceived in support of the municipal water and light proposition voted on in that city last week. The Review endorsed municipal ownership, and the proposition carried by practical- ly a unanimous vote. Judge Jno. J. March” was tn the city the last of the week for the pur- pose of familiarizing himself with the work of the court, he having been absent on account of sickness during the last two meetings. Judge March is a very conscientious public otticial, and tries to do his whole duty in the premises. Capt. V. L. Johnson wife and baby, who have been spending several months at Martinsville, Ind., where the Captain took treatment for rheumatism in a sanitarium, are home again. Captain Johnson re- turnsfreefrom the pain of his disease, but said the doctors deemed it best not to operate on his stiff limbs.
