The town of Spruce was visited by
your correspondent the first of the
week, and found it booming. The
M. E. church, south, has a nice build
ing completed, and the Cumberland
Presbyterians have laid the founda
tion for a new church, which will be
completed in about two months.
Messrs. Odneal and J J Kadford are
the principal dry good's and grocery
merchants in the town and are doing
a good business.
Doctor J It Colson is the only phy
sician located in the town. The doc
tor complains of the health of that
section of the country being so good
that he can scarely resist an attack
of spring fever. He has sold his
tock of drugs to Peacock & Colson
of Spruce.
C Cox in the harness maker and has
a nice little cock on hand, and he
being a cripple deserves the patron
ace of that vicinity.
J C M Young, a former merchant
of Spruce, is preparing to farm on a
large scale this season.
W U and J V Snodgrass are among
the foremost farmers in this portion
of the county, and are generally sue
cessful in oil their undertakings.
R 1) Ewin has rented the farm of
Geo. Newbery and is busy plowing
He says owing to his not being mar
ried, and such a busy time of the
vear lie only washes dishes twice a
week.
Uncle Silas Fisher is a jolly old gen
tleman. He is preparing to cultivate
his farm more extensively this season
than ever.
11 (i Logan, who has been absent
fr:.m Deepwater township for a few-
years, has moved back again and he
received a cordial welcome.
Uncles C. H. Slavback and Joseph
Kimble, who are able to retire to the
shades of private life, are still active
ly engaged in farming this year.
" The citizens of Spruce and vicinity
commend the merchants of Butler
highly for their liberal subscriptions
for their churches here.
Jas. U. Simpson is one of Spruce
township's successful farmers. He
showed your correspondent a pair of
line young mules he had just broke
to work. Jim says he has to keep an
eye on them from behind. He hasn't
decided which can strike the hardest
blow, the mules or Corbett.
The fanners are very busy, and
looking ahead to a good crop.
Summit Items.
Weather continues favorable for
gardening and farm work generally.
We see some pieces of oats begin
ning to show up, and yet some are
not done sowing.
The fruit crop will be abundant,
except peaches which will not be a
large crop, most of the buds having
been killed through the winter.
One addition to the church at the
chapel Sunday evening. Surely good
is being accomplished by Elder
Webb's zealous work. Skeptics and
unbelievers are made to wince under
his arguments.
Messrs. Harry Long and Henry
Smiser were inducted into the ollice
of deacons Sunday evening.
How was it that no one in liutler
Saturday knew of that convention,
must have been kept rather quiet.
J T Moore says he's not in a hole
yet. He sold his hogs and cattle Sat
urday to Peter Kegeries; hogs at 3:90
cattle ($ 2:80 so we understood. Xow
John such as this may not put you in
a hole, though we think it would
put a man's running gear out of bal
ance; would almost produce indiges
tion if the dose was large.
Mr Hub Smiser has moved on the
Ruy farm now belonging to Wm Se
linger. We had expected to see it
different, yet it seems Mr 8. is doom
ed to die in single blessedness, t hough

Heynard Items.
Things are moving along nicely in
these parts owing to the nice weather
and the untiring energy of our farm
ers. A great amount of oats have been
sown, and every year sees more land
sown to timothy, the sale of which
amounts to hundreds of tons already.
We have not heard of anyone as
yet sowing flax. A large proportion
of the land to be put in corn has al
ready been plowed and if indications
amount to anything this will be an
early spring, with farmers out for the
"early worm.
We understand that the fine cattle
fed by John W. (iilbreath, forty in
number, were sold to Valincourt
Griggs for $2,C00. It was a very line
bunch and further evidences the
ability of Mr. (iilbreath as a feeder.
Cupid has been making some stray
shots around. One of which struck,
and with fatal effect, Frank II. Diehl
Jr.. son of F. H. Diehl Sr.. a wealthy
farmer of this community, which cul
minated in his marriage to Miss Anna
Pont us, a worthy young lady. We
hope they may have their full quota
of happiness.
Last week witnessed a meeting of
divines and delegates at Aew Pros
pect church. Of covirse our people
were equal to the occasion m the way
of entertaining them.
The Ilevnard school and literary
closed last Friday night w ith a splen
did entertainment. Something under
ten thousand people were present.
The recitation of Miss Minnie Drown
insr was the capital event of the eve
ning and was rendered in astvle that
indicated her quite a master of elocu
tion. Prominent among the visitor?
was the able editor of the Appletoi
City Star, Mr. A. L. Harding.
We wonder who the committeemai
or chairman of this township is ant
when the date for the convention of
Kates will be. One thing is certain
if some zealous (?) democrats persist
in having the democracy of Missouri
to endorse the Cleveland administra
tion there is fun ahead, as a great

Oest not to jeopardize our nest lnxei

Washington, D. C. March 19.
The democratic members of the sen
ate committee on finance have com
pleted their work on the tariff bill
The principal changes which they
have made in the bill are in the sugar
schedule and that has been modified
to as to take into account the color
as well as the polarization of sugar.
The change made will add one-eighth
of a cent per pound on the color test
so as to insure to the rehner this
much protection This is in accord
ance with the original intent iou of
the committee but it has been claim
ed that the billasat first reported
to the full committee would dis
criminate against the refiners. It is
understood that the bill will be
amended so as to make positive dec
laration for the abrogation of the re
