ldett. We are glad to welcome him
and his estimable wife back to Bates
county.
W. C. Winters called and ordered
his paper back from Canada to But
Ter, after having the dates set up a
notch. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Winters went to Canada with
quite party of neighbors to locate,
but it seems that he liked old Bates
the best.
We are informed by Harry Robin
son that his brother Cal, who has
been at Bevier, Mo-, will about the
first OF December open out q black
smith shop at Passaic. Cal Robin
son is splendid blacksmith and we
can recommend him to the people OF
that section.
The negroes over at Columbia, Mo-,
have started a newspaper for the
benefit of their race. Rufus Logan
is editor. No doubt the paper will
benefit the race provided Rufus can
get them to subscribe for bis publica-
ton and pay in advance.
At the office OF Squire B, f. Jeter,
in this city, Thursday evening OF last
week, H. E. Chambers, of Elkart
township and Miss Eva Askew, OF
Passaic, were united in marriage.
Immediately after the ceremony the
young couple took carriage for the
home OF the groom's parents.
1t will pay those who are buying
their winter supply oigoods to close
ly look over the advertising columns
OF The TINES. Live business men
Advertise their business and these are
the merchants that offer greatest
bargains to the public. 1t will pay
Iyou to read the advertisements.
Our popular, young friend, W. D..
Rogers, who has accepted a position
under Warden Woodbridge, orders
The TIMES to his address. He is a
son Of Judge Rogers, Of Pleasant
Gap township, has been an active
and influential democrat and is de-
serving Of recognition, which we are
glad to see him receive.
Prosecuting Attorney Horn has
decided to try old man Gartrell, for
the murder OF the miner Donegan,
first. The trial will probably begin
next week. A. B. Ludwick, having

cd from the defense and Judge j. F.

county, and Hiram C. Bates aged 60
years, who shot James Furgeson, in
Nevada, were taken to the peniten-
tiary yesterday by Sheriff Harkread-
er, OF Vernon county. Johnson goes
for two years and Bates for three.
Henry Dykman and J. H. Albers
were in the city Tuesday soliciting
aid in the building OF a new German
Lutheran church at Virginia, near
Capt. Nickell's farm. Northumberland
ing the business men and others OF
our city have been liberal in their
gifts to home churches in course oil
erection, the solicitors did reasona.
bly, well in their effort.
| We would be very glad II the city
of Butler was able to put in a sewer
system and relieve the Carpenter 4
Shafer Company and the Ross Hotel
OF their embarrassment. But the
lpeople OF Butler are not responsible
for their condition and then certainly
there were no sewers or promise oil
sewers to induce them to locate them.
We are sorry for the dilema in which
they find themselves, but the city oil
Butler cannot afford to become
further involved at this time.
| The Republican-Press is defending
the course Of President Roosevelt in
inviting negro to dine with him.
We don't suppose there is q man or
woman in Bates county who would
care two straws il Mr.. Atkeeon would
eat with negroes to his hearts con-
tent. nor do they object to Mr.. Roose-
welt humiliating the negro in the
same way. What they do object to
lis the President of the United States
