DeArmond and other speakers are advertised. No doubt they will have a good time. There is a story afloat to the ef fect that Henry T. Burckhartt, the handsome young editor of the How ard County Democrat,is about to be come a married man. Burckhartt is one of those jolly good fellows who like all the girls so well that they do not feel like showing any partiality. That is probably the reason that he has delayed this im portant step so long. And be it known there are gray hairs in the Howard county editor's head and many a furrow in his cheek. K. C Times. In view of the departure from our midst of the Rev. J. W. Stockton, late pastor of the Baptist church of this city, the Butler Ministerial Union hereby records its high appre ciatiou of him both as a man and as a faithful co laborer in all the high est interests of the city and com munity. It is with sincere regret that we lose him from our number, as also from personal association and christian work outside the union. By order of the union, John B. Hill, Pies. W. D. Blaik, Sec y. Judge DeArmond. It was the good fortune of the ed itor of the Sun to make the acquaint ance of the gentleman whose name heads this article. We accompanied him during two days of the time which he spent in his canvass in this county and if the impression upon the people he met was as favorable as that which ne made upon us and we see no reason for thinking otherwise he is certain to have a very strong support in this county. There are many reasons why he should be returned to congress not for the ensuing term alone, but for as many terms as he may desire. One of these reasons is because he can and does represent the people. He can because he has the mental ability to understand the wants of the people and also the best means of attaining the desired ends. His record, both as judge of the circuit court and as a congressman is good and shows that he truly represents his constituents. As a speaker Mr. DeArmond is plain, logical and con vincing. He does not attempt to arouse an evanescent enthusiasm by the tricks of oratory, but appeals directly to the intelligence of his hearers. As a consequence when he makes a convert to democratic ideas he stays converted. Personally, Judge DeArmond is a cultivated gentleman, temperate, in every respect, with no traces of that false dignity possessed by many public men which seems to say to the commoner people, "I am of a higher order than thou " The people of this district will make a mistake if they do not give him a big majority, and well, they are not coins to make a mistake in this instance. Osceola Sun. Farmers and Cankers. The Butler Union circulated ad a supplement, the agricultural report issued by the state board of agiicul ture several weeks ago. The editor's attention has since been called t the fact that the supplement con tained the outragous lyinff(?) report that in this state there were farmers who had actually money deposited in the banks. The Union editor at once says that the stalemeut is a lie and that the farmers are too poor to deposit any money in the bank. Af ter repudiating all connection with the contents of "that supplement the Union adds: "That sheet will never get circu lation through this paper again un til it has been rigidly inspected and we know it contains no lying statis tics." In other words anything which tends to show that the farmers are not going to the devil, will be strict ly prohibited. The Union publishes an ad. which says that the stockholders and sever al of the officers of the Farmers' bank of that place are actually farm ers It might be well to add for the information of the Union editor that among the heaviest depositors in the banks of Rich Hill are farm ers. Rich Iliil Tribune (Rep.) Judges Reese and Fix, the Demo cratic nominees from this end of the county will be electeu without any trouble. Reese as presiding justice has demonstrated ability and back bone, while no more honorable, fair er or better associate judge than Fix evtr sci'ved on the county court, and as to Jas. S. Hayes, if the Democrats of the northern district do not stud by him it will be their own loss. Judge Boxley is gaining friends down here each day. The party has no better campaigner, as the county had no better prosecutor than geu teeh fair-minded, fearless Calvin F. Boxley. Every Democrat and lots of Republicans realize this, not to mention the third partyites, who were so well aware of it that they made no nomination. Rich Hill Re view. Capt Chai. E. Leonard, of this county, and brother of L. Leonard, says; "If I had 100,000 votes, every one of them would go against that brother of mine, who is running for governor on the third party ticket. I am opposed to that whole business and regret very much the course my brother is takiDg." Booueville Advertiser.
