,heck on V. W. Hancock, proprietor

4 Kansas man who went to Mus
kogee, |. T., a few years ago wants
to get back home. A woman beat
him for postmaster and negro beat
him for the city council.-Nevada

The editor was taken to Butler
yesterday by a mandate Of the cir.
cult court, hence a shortage OF news.
As soon as the court got glimpse
o; our mug, he was convinced that
We were innocent and turned usloose.
An innocent look covers q multitude
OF sins.-Adrian Journal.
William r. Bell moved his family
to Butler last week and took charge
OF the treasurer's office on April LIST.
The retiring treasurer, c. E. John
son, settled with the county court,
his books balancing to cent on all
funds, and he turned over to Mr.. Bell
substantial balance Of between
forty and fifty thousand dollars.
Rev. Joel Barker, the popular pas
tor OF the Ohio street NJ. E. Church,
is emphatic in his protest against
spelling his name Baker. Rev. W.
F. Baker, who has been assigned to
this NJ. E. Circuit, is equally emphatic
in desiring that his name be not
spelled Barker. So it would ap-
pear that neither OF these gentlemen
is proud to have his name coniound-
ed with that OF the other.
James Harper and family and Mrs.
Boswell, Mrs. Harper's mother,
took their departure Tuesday morn.
ing for Kansas City to reside. Mr..
Harper Is a first class timer and he
expects to follow his trade in the
city. Splendid mechanics like Mr..
Harper leaving our city Is great
loss to this community, and We can
only hope that their stay In Kansas
City will be brief when they will re.
turn to Butler.
