Dan Chase of Pleasanton, Kansas,
was in Butler the first of the week to
confer with Col. C. E. Robbins on be.
half of the Pleasanton Commercial
Club in regard to a series of sales
days, which that place contemplates
holding These sales days are un.
questionably fine thing both for a
town and the surrounding country,
and it is unfortunate that Buffers
semi-monthly sales received no bet
ter local support.
As a proof that there is prosperity
in the land just note what B. w.
Lansdown of Centertown did with
two carloads of cattle and load of
hogs. He sold forty.four head of
cattle for So. Is hundred on the hoof,
bringing the total to So, 1853. The car
load of hogs sold for 81, 488. This is
the best evidence that there are good
times and the calamity howlers are
working overtime for nothing. JEFF

Homer Humphrey, manager of the
Peoples Elevator Co., in Rich Hill,
says the indications are that his firm
here will break all records this year
as regards to amount of wheat pur-
chased and shipped out. He thinks
they will be able to secure 100 car
loads at least. Mr.. Humphres gave
one farmer, Frank Strickland of the
Papinville country, check for $500
for wheat delivered at the elevator.
The great amount of wheat being
marketed is taxing the capacity Of the
elevator to the limit.-Rich Hill Re.
