w. E. Champion, of Kansas City,
addressed meeting of Republicans
at the court house Friday afternoon.
So far as we can learn he did not adj
vance one reason why. anyone
should vote the Republican ticket at
the coming election, but took up all
of his time abusing the present adj
ministration. The Republican con-
gressional and county central COM
mittees held meetings at the same
time. 1t is said that the county conf
ntittee was especially interesting as
the two factions had a warm time
trying to decide just who was to con-
troll.
J. Z. Bartlett returned Sunday from
a trip through the north and south
part of the state. He reports the

causing it to rot. Monday evening
he left for Milo, Missouri, where he
is attending family reunion at the
home of his sister, Mrs. f. J. Nc
Kay. After the reunion he will be
accompanied back to Butler by Mrs.

was at one time engaged in the mer-
camille business. Mr.. Roster is an

he lives he always plants several ap-
pie trees, but up to the time he came
back to Bates county on a visit he
had never enjoyed an apple from
tree which he planted. But a few
days ago he had the pleasure of
picking apples from a tree that he
had planted several years ago.
