Mr. Barrows’ father, Freeman Barrows was the first officer of Bates county, under {ts organization, being county and circult clerk, recorder and ex-officer Probate Judge. The county seat was then at Papinville, where Mr. Barrows held forth for twelve years. Juno. N. Barrows thinks-of present- {ng @ life eize picture of his father to the county to hang in the county clerk’s office. Such @ present to the county would be very appropriate.

But it {e noticeable that nelther gentle- manor thelr friends deny the serious charges of party treason made against them by Mr. Atkeson. Pos- sibly they are holding back their evidence to confound Atkeson at the last moment. Considering the prom! nence of the gentlemen mentioned in local politica. thesituation fs fraught with much interest to the public. We notice that M. V. Carroll, edit- or of The Ruralist, at Sedalia, has filed his declaration under the pri- mary law as @ candidate for Repre- sentative of Petéls county on the Democratic ticket. Mr Carroll is well known to our older citizens, having beey a farmer and school teacher in Bates county and for sev- eral years was editor of the Union Prees in Butler. In those stirring times, when Mr. Carroll was at the head of the Populist party in Bates county, he proved himself a strong man, a fluent and forceful writer, a ready debater and # splendid organ- izar. When the Popullst party went | the way of all auch schisms, Mr. Car- | rollunited with the Democratic party }and hus since been & consistent | Democrat.
