The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1910-03-17

Hariand Porter, wife and two
young children, of Mulberry, were
in Butler the last of the week and
favored us with a call. AS Rambler
Mr.. Porter keeps the people of Null
berry and Western Bates informed of
the doings of their neighbors through
The Times columns.
w. C. Barnhardt orders his paper
changed to Greedy, Col, where he
has located with his family for the
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Barnhardt de-
cided to try the west but retained
their fine farm iustwest of the city, for
fear they would not be satisfied, and
we confidently look for their return
home in time.
Chas. T. Mcfarland, C. R. Home,
Clark Wix and Frank T. Clay COM
posed a committee of Elks to attend
the funeral of H. B. Moody at Har-
risonville last Friday. Mr.. Moody
was member of Butler Lodge 95S in
good standing. He was Vice-Presi-
dent of the Morrison-Power Mercan-
tile Co., of Kansas City,
Henry Tilson was up from his
home in New Home township on
Monday and favored us. Through
him we learn of the death of George
Rhodus, a former Bates county boy,
son-in-law of Enos Waugh, who died
at his home in Enid, Oklahoma, about
a month ago of pneumonia. He left
a widow and four children.
j Uncle Abner Copeland met with an
accident Tuesday that proved quite
serious. In company with his wife
and daughter and Miss Maud Baird,
he was driving to Rich Hill. When
near Bethel church one of the front
wheels of the vehicle broke down,
throwing them out. Uncle Abnel
struck on his head and shoulder anc
received painful bruises that will
probably lay him up for a few days
Luckily none of the women folks
were injured. Times.
M. M. Walker, who recently pur
chased a farm in Homer township
through Chas. R. Bowman, real estate
agent, in company with Mr.. Bowman
was in Butler Monday and favored
The Times. Mr.. Walker comes from
the Kingdom of Galloway, is a genia
! gentleman and is wrong only in hi.
politics, but in that respect there i.
hope, as he is a Roosevelt republic
can, an insurgent, if you please, anc
the light Of hopel is burning brightly
for him. He admits that his son is {
: good Democrat.
: Uncle Jake Gmelich means well
but he Numbered sadly in rushing in
to print to assert that he really wa.
elected to the place he holds. Uncle
Jake was just counted in, that's all
and counted in by as dirty bit Of
politics as ever Missouri witnessed
The fact that he is good-hearted OLD
fellow doesn't change history at all.
We Democrats are too peaceful by
far. We let Republicans count in
Rutherfraud Hayes as President; we
let them count in Jake Gmelich as
Lieutenant Governor. But they can.
not make us admit they were elected.
Clinton Democrat.
One week we see notice that the
anti-saloon league will not make a
fight for Statewide prohibition and
the next week we see where they
will. We are not caring a trans-con,
tinental about it. The saloons DOM
bother us and we don't bother the
saloons, but it would be well enough
to have the question go before the
people and let the people of the State
decide whether they wanted the State
wet or dry. The dry people have q
chance through the referendum to put
it up to the people, and they should
do it or forever hold their peace. -
