Irishman, come and see that Rascal
Pat next Monday evening
The Rev Andrew Scott has return
ed from Bunceton, where he
conducted a successful revival in the
Christian church. and will be ih his
pulpit here on Lords day next, both
morning and night.
c. F. Henderson, living northwest
of Butler will leave about the first
of December for California, where he
goes in search of health. He expects
to spend season hunting and trap
ping in the mountains in the north
part of that state, and says he may
wander as far north as Canada.
| c. H. Arbuckle, who spent a year
in West Virginia, has returned and is
living with his father, j S. Arbuckle,
near Ballard. On Monday he called
and renewed for his fathers paper.
| He is very courteous, clever young
gentleman and we were very glad to
have met him.
Charles Hensley, an influential
young farmer of the Virginia neigh
borhOod, favored us with pleasant
call on Saturday and had his paper
changed to Columbus, Kan, near
which place he has purchased ranch
and will move there about the first
The TINES wishes him the best OF
success.
We were complimented by pleas
ant call from NJ J. Martin, of Car
thage, Dakota, who is visiting old
friends in Butler and vicinity. He
formerly lived with his parents near
Virginia, but left for the far west i'll
1882, where he has prospered. 1t is
limited that he will not return alone
to his fine ranch.
Sheriff Mudd was notified Tuesday
morning that Hart & Co.. 8 store It
Foster, had been burglarized on
Monday night. A lot of boots and
shoes, rubber goods, spectacles, etc.
were missed. The wave of prosper
ity seems to have struck the bank
robbers, burglars and petty thieves
in this section and some of them will
have to be brought up pretty hard
before it is stopped.
Judge w. T. kemper of Prairie
township, who is serving on the petit
jury, made us very pleasant call on
Tuesday morning and had his paper
set ahead. Judge Kemper served
two terms as member of the county
court and we never had a more hon
est, conscientious and conservative
Judge. When the court of which he
was a member retired they left about
$40 900 in the county treasury.
Matt King, who shot his brother
few days ago, over in the edge of
Vernon county, had his preliminary
triel Saturday before Squire Dewey,
of Henry township, and was held in
a bond of 81 900, which he could not
give and went to Jail. He claimed he
shot his brother in self-defense The
wounded man is still at the poor
farm and is in a critical condition
and his death would not be a sur
prise.
The Free Press offers the Live
Stock Indicator and four or five other
cheap publications at a clubbing rate
and informs its readers that this
combination can be obtained of no
other newspaper office in Butler
The Democrat makes the identical
offer. THE TINES was approached;
with this same proposition and re-
spectfullv declined. We hold that it
is mighty poor paper that has to
give chromos to secure readers. THE
TINES stands on its own merits as a
newspaper.
Mrs Julia LaF GILLETTE and her beau
tiful and charming daughter Miss
Christina, left on Friday morning for
Sloan Springs, Ark, where they ex-
pect to make their permanent home. |
They purchased a modern brick resi-
dence in that city and Mrs LaFol- |
lette expects to buy fruit ranch in
that locality. Mrs. LaFollette has
resided in Bates county for 20 years,
on her farm in Summit township and |
was held in the highest esteem by all /
her neighbors, all of whom join THE
