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

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,

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.

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

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."

Columbus day the 400th anni
versary of the discovery of America
will be celebrated in nearly every
district in the United States on Oct.,
21, 1892. Presdent Harrison has
proclaimed it a national holiday. It
is to be a day of rejoicing, for the
discovery of our country the birth
place of liberty and free institutions, j
The public school is to lead the en
terprise. 1 hey should, because thev ;
are the crowning product of four
centuries of American civilization;
because they are to be the instru
ments of universal education and
elevation and patriotism; they are to
show man his relation to man, to the
universe, to God.
All should aid in making Col um
bus day one the grandest celebra
tions in the history of our govern
ment. Comparatively few can at
tend the opening exercises at Chica
go, October 21st, but all at the same
hour can celebrate the great discov
ery an event that did more toward
dispelling ignorance and supersti
tion, and opening up fields of active
thought and scientific research thau
any the last ten centuries.
Let Missouri and especially Bates
county, be in the front rank in this
matter. Let every teacher ha" ex
ercises and every citizen aid him; let
him vary the national program to
suit his surroundings. In the coun
try let arrangements be made to dis
cuss the need?, aims and objects of
the school by the citizens, teacher
and visiting speakers. Let all
bring their baskets, spend the day
and go home feeling a deeper inter
est iu the schools thau ever before.
In cities and villages let the pro

aud in the afternoon have a review
of the students after which have ex
