Cyrus W. Ward has quit visit
ing Rich Hill on the Sabbath
days. Cy says that the attraction
has moved to North Missouri
and that he would no more make
visit to Rich Hill now than he
would visit Death Valley. But
in the near future some one will
return and then Rich Hill will be
the place for his Sabbath wan
behring's and he only hopes that
the time will be only short dis
tance in the future.
We met our old friend Peter
Denning few days ago and had
quite chat with him. Pete and
his wife are here visiting old
friends and relatives. They are
now residing at Parma, Idaho.
and like their new home very
well. Pete says that several
Butler and Bates county folks
are near him. Chas. Dickerscn
and Elmer Voris live at Parma.
Also John Wright and wife are
there making their home with |
Cbas. Dickerson. They will be !
here for several days and we |
were sure glad to see Pete and |
he is looking fine.
The combined statements OF |,
the three banks in Butler show a
resources of 1921
)56.24. This is IA most excellent

size in the state can show such /
an excellent statement. 4
