It seemed to be fn the air this year that we were in for good crods. The result is everybody will have an abundance of corn.” Mr. Park ought to be a good judge of crop conditions. Squire Harper, who served Bates county well for two terms in thestate legislature, ts a large farmer south of Butler, Said he this morning: “We will have an {mmense crop in Bates county this year. My corn will run up pretty close to forty bushels, I be- lieve, and I have considerable acre- age planted. You can say thai ev- erybody in Bates county will have money this year—I don’t care who itis. We have enough prosperty to go around.” Autielpating the big crops in Bates county, Butler is preparing to holda fair this year. Not for twenty years has a county fair been held at the county seat. In the old days, even before the ratlroads built into the| county, its fair wads the big event for ahundred miles about. Its territory at that time extended beyond Trading Post and LaCygne, in Kan- sas. This year the business men of Butler have become so enthused over the big crops that they went to work to organize a fair association. The; will construct the buildings thissum- mer and in October old Bates county will show products of the soil that willfairly astound some of these new- comers from Illinois and Iowa. It one drives out from Butler in any direction he passes residents that cost several thousand dollars, J. W. Crawford, president; J. N. Brown, vice-president; and M. C.

Sam Levy Mercantile Company, During a part of Mr. Carlisle’s time as speaker of the National House of representatives (1888-9), Mrs. Car- lisle was the most talked of woman at the capital. The speaker was next to Arthur in the line of success- ion and Arthur was unmarried, so Mrs. Carlisle at the President’s sug- gestion, became “first lady in the land.” The point was contested bitterly, and Arthur’s decision was deeply re- 'Y | sented by the wives of cabinet offi- cers, but Mrs. Carlisle stood all the coldness of the women and finally won them to liking her.
