Griffin, an old eitizen of Vernon county, which oc- curred at the home of T. Ed. Britt, in Hudson township, last week. Mr. Griffin had been visiting his daugh- ter, Mrs. Baker, only a few days be- fore, and took a congestive chill, while at Mr: Britte’. He was 82 years old and about twenty years ago lived in Bates county. Misses Ethel Ellege and Alta ,| Shankland, two young ladies of Rich Hill, while out near Brushy Mound with a pleasure party inspecting the big ditch, concluded to take a skiff ride.’ Neither knew how-to manage the boat and they had gone only a short distance when it capsized and the young ladies were thrown into six feet of water.

Wheatley, who sold his farm west of Butler this spring and went to Western Texas and New Mexico with a view of locating, returned to Bates county last week. He said a man who owns a good farm hereand thinks of selling with a view of going to that country, would do well to do ‘his prospecting before making the sale.

Rockville Boester Items. Frank Fix was in to see us Friday and to show us the Missour! evidence [thas alfalfa will grow in this coun- \ury. He had a sprig of It a footlong | and sald his crop was doing fine and | showed every evidence of being a per- }manent growth, Don’t tell us that «farmer who uees his {ntellect cant «row anything in Missourl. Cut out the boosting for the place across the border and hump for Missouri for you know she will not disappoint you. A peddler who undertook to sub- atitute cussing his customers for ad- vertising in this clty Tuesday, cer- talnly had a run for his money, The city fined him $4.50 for disturbing the peace. Then he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. W. Evans for ped- ding without a county license. He was arraigned before Judge Coffer and relieved of $17.50. The moral is that advertising is the cheapest, safest and only sure way to get next to the people. J. Emmett Hook {s preparing to build an addition to his residence and remodel {t generally. The im- provements {include an elegant Col- lonial porch, a concrete basement, furnace heat, waterworks, bath and sewage. Altogether he expects to have city convenfences in the coun- try, which the farmer can have at leas expense than any other person on earth. James Griffin, of Harwood, an uncle to Mrs. Ed. Britt, who came in recently on 6 visit, was taken with a congestive chill shortly after his ar- rivaland at this writing his recovery {a despaired of.

In a closely contested bail game of swelve innings Butler Lodge No. 958 B. P.O. E. defeated Nevada lodge by @ score of 21 to 20. At the open- ing ofthe game {t looked as though the visiting team would have a walk- away, tallying four scores in their half of the first and holding Butler dow for 2 innings, the home team bringing in 2 runsin the third The game whip-sawed from this on, the ninth inning ending {na tied score. Three more tnnings were necessary to decide the game, which was won by Fred Williams topping out @ little hit which brought in two rans. The game was remarkable on ac- count of the good fellowship and good nature of both teams which characterized the game from start to finiah. Umpire Bell was forced to make several very close decisions but there was absolutely no rowdyism or quarrelling either among the players or the spectators. The Batteries were: Nevada: Vet ter and Cole and Waloright and Vet ter. Butler: Willlams and Smith. Umpire: W. R. Bell. While fairly good, the attendance was not nearly so large as was to be expected, there being in the neigh- borhood of two bundred spectatora present. This {s the firat matched game the Elks have had this season and not being intrim, of course the boye made a number of errors, but they have the material for a winning team and patrone of the game may well look torward toward the enjoyment of some fast clean snappy ball play- {ng from them in the near future. During the excitement at the close of the tenth inning, the heavy bench occupied by the visiting team was overturned falling across the lege of George Bush, whose parents operate the Cottage Hotel. He injuries were thought at first to be serious but when he was carried off the field and a doctor cummoned it was found that no bones were broken, the ex- tent of his injuries being several painful bruises. A Masonic Picnic June 24th. At the last regular meeting of But- ler Lodge No, 254, 1s was decided to hold a pienic on St. John's day, June 24%h, to which every member of the order {n the county {8 Invited to at- tend. It{s to be an old-fashioned basket picnic, and every member who attends is expected to bring @ well filled basket of provisions. Music, speeches, races, games and other amusements, and perhaps pub- lie installation of officers, will be some of the attractions of the day. A competent committee consisting of F. H. Crowell, O. D. Austin, W. R. Bell, A. H, Culver and Wesley Den- ton will have the entire matter tn charge and will report program and other detalls—matters of interest in the near future, particulars of which will appear in these columns. That is will bean enjoyable affair goes without saying, as the Masons never do things by halves, and as they have not had a@ pienic for many years welook forthis one to be a great success.
