For The Next
A Reading Circle was organized
at the Douglass school Friday night
by G. W. Lowry. Its object is to
increase and encourage a reading
spirit among the colored people.
There was much interest manifest
ed at the first meeting.
A prominent business man ot But
ler said a few days ago "that unless
something was done at Walnut in
the next sixtv days every business
house there would be vacated."
The person referred to was caught
in the Walnut cyclone to the tune of
about $4,000, and knows whereof
he speaks. We hope the gentle
mans prediction will not come true.

The Other Side.
Last weeks Times contained se
vere strictures on the conduct ot Al
iord Roberts and a Mrs. Martin,
whom it was alleged had been in
ticed trom feer home by Roberts.
Mr. Roberts read the article and felt
agrieved and misrepresented, there
fore called to see the Times in re
lation thereto.
liis statement was rhar In. I
j nothing to do with the separation of
Martin and his wife, that they had
been separated oce or twice before,
and -that Martin, heing a very jeal
ous ican, was also a drinking man,
which in great part accounted for
the destitution of hi family. He fur
ther stacicd thai the only times he was
at Martin's house was when required
to go there to see Martin about work,

to assist in various jobs of wotk.

A NEWSPAPER WANTED.
A Times representative, who by
the way is always, on the go espe
cially where there is a chance for
business and a scent for news,
chanced to drop down on the spright
ly little burg ot Archie, in Cass
county, last Friday. In society par
lance the people were "at home,"
and the Times scribe was invited to
a front seat.
It has been said that Archie was
a dull town. Hut what a mistake.

a good newspaper, substantially

great encouragement by the business j

Editor Times : Three years ago
a man by the name ot Clay W asson,
formerly trom Kentucky, came to
Bates county, bringing with Inm a
-i 1 .-ii 11 1 4
wife and one child. He leased forty
acres ot
land joining the Wilcox
school house.
in district
number
three, where he has since liveJ.
His mother and two sisters, one mar
ried, have since settled in the same
neighborhood, the mother and single
sister making their home with the
married sister.
It seems that Mr.
Wasson's relatives disliked his wife
and were continually trying to pre
judice him against her. He being!
anything but one of God'snoblemen,
allowed himself to be influnccd by ;
1
his mother and sisters and became I
1
surely abusive toward his family. J
Last Morula- the 11th inst., Mr V .
told his wife that liis mother and sis
ters wanted him to bring Xewtie,
their youngest cl ild about two
years of age over to stay a few days
that they wanted to make him some
clothes. She consented, not once
suspecting anything wrong.
Friday the 15th inst., Mr. W. left
home, ostensibly o look for a place,
telling his wife that he would not be
back until Sunday. Well aware that
Mrs. W. would not remain at home
at night by herself, he had told her to
goto Mr. Jim Byford's the first
night and Mrs. Rilet's the second.
Accordingly, when night came, hav
ing arranged everything at " home,
she locked up the house and. with
her oldest boy now about tour years
old went to Mr. Byford's to spend
the night.
Judge of her feelings when on go
ing home the next morning, she
found the house had been broken in
to and literally turned upsided own :
that her husband had not only de
serted her : but that he had come in
the night, in her absence and break
ing into the house had taken every
thing upon which he could lav any
claim, and. with the youngest child,
had left for parts unknown, leaving
her destitute among .strangers, in no
condition to bear up under such
an unexpected blow with the support
of herself and little boy to provide
jorasuesi jnc may. Airs, w . is
doubtless better off without him; as
he has, by his poor management,
proved himself incapable of support
ing a family and his cowardly man
ner of deserting them seems to be a
tacit acknowledgment of the fact.
Mrs. W. has found a temporary
home in the family ot M . G. Wil
cox, where he wiil remain until
some arraiigmcnt can be made for
the tuture. Hai .
