Butts is canvassing Wilson county for the Southwestern Mutual Benevolent Association, 231 Kansas avenue, Topeka, Kansas, incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas.

A purely Mutual Association of men and women, managed and controlled by its individual members. Full amount of policy paid on total disability, yeven dollars per week sick benefit." The passenger department of the Kansas City, Fort Scott Gulf, and Kansas City, Springfield Memphis railroads have just issued, an elegant hanging map of those lines, showing tributary counties and towns. The map will be found of great value to any one doing business on or in the counties tributary to those lines, and will be mailed free by addressing J. E. Lock-wood, general passenger agent, Kansas City, Missouri.

We have a merchant in this city who prides himself on having the smallest head of any man of his size on earth. lie wears a number five hat, and if it wasn't for the enormous size of his ears the hat would cover up his entire head. What this gentleman lacks in the size of the cranium is made up at the other end. We saw him a few days since attempting to shove a pair of No. 10 feet into a pair of 9 boots, but he failed to do it.

Count' Treasurer Singleton was charged up with $85,300 taxes for the year 1883, of this amount he has already collected over $80,000, leaving only about Mr. Singleton is of the opinion that at his annual settlement with the board in October there will not be to exceed $000 delinquent taxes on his books. We think this is a remarkable showing for a new county, and we doubt if there is another county in the state where the taxes have been as closely collected. Barnum, the great showman, says he expects to make a million dollars this summer, 'and in speaking to a committee of merchants who were anxious to know the secret of his success he said "You do not any of you advertise enough. You ought to invoke printer's ink every day.

You are sleepy and want -our business to run itself. A standing advertisement in your local paper commands confidence and becomes familiar in the eyes of the reader. It may not be read very often, still it makes the name and business of a man familiar and its presence in a paper inspires confidence in the ability of the advertiser." On Tuesday forenoon of this week a serious accident occurred to one of the carpenters workiug on Jake Paulen's new store building. A scaffolding had been built for the purpose of ceiling, and three workmen were at one end of the same at once and their weight broke one of the cross pieces of one of the "horses," and all three of the men fell to the floor, a distance of at least nine feet. William Roberts was in the lead and the other two fell upon him, also one of the planks that was used on the scaffold.

Mr. Roberts' ankle was broken by the fall, but the other men luckily escaped with only slight injuries. The unfortunate man was taken to Penn's restaurant where his injuries were promptly attended to by Dr. Corinack. Probably, no other invention was ever so much importance to the household, as is the sewing machine.

It commenced in the humblest way as is the rule with all great inventions and every one, at first, looked upon it with suspicion and distrust. But all classes of people, from the great manufacturers to the humblest sewing woman, in course of time, discovered and appreciated its value, and from that time until the present, it has advanced in popular favor with rapid strides. Our attention was recently, called to the new machine placed upon the market by the Davis Sewing Machine company "The new high-arm vertical-feed," as it is called. The vertical feed is the principal distinguishing feature of this machine, which separates it from, and places it above, the popular machines of other makes. It is necessary to see this new feed method in order to understand and appreciate its many advantages.

This machine makes the most sure and beautiful stitch sews the light and heavy goods equally well runs lightly without fatigue to the operator. The simplicity of its construction commends the Davis to our judgment. In this particular feature, we believe it is without a parallel. We could dwell at great length upon its other merits, but space will not admit. The company is represented in this city by Pinney, Mudd who are promptj polite, courteous and just in all their dealings, and well and most favorbly known throughout jryr, I olloe Juds lerk S3 D.

CHASE, LAWYER, Office in Twin Mound Hall, Fredonia, Kansas. Mrs. R. B. Wetmore and son, Leslie, of Coyville, stopped in Fredonia Monday on their way to AVintield, where they intend visiting a short time.

County Clerk Tuttle commenced on Mondav of this week to make up the tax -roll for 1S84. He is ably assisted in his ardorous labors by Col. Will Stivers. If you want to 6ee the happiest man in town just step into Purcell Wal-den's drug store and inquire of Elder Allen the weight of that new boy at his house. The assessed valuation of all property in Wilson county in 1883 was $2,323,501.24.

In 1884 it'is showing an increase during the year of $308,002.41. John Vlllett, the Fall River merchant, is down in this county besides taking "lay off" from business. We are glad to learn that Mr. Willett is prospering. During the past week Probate Judge Stivers has issued the following marriage licenses Noah Beal and Clara A.

Crowder. Elmer E. Green and Floy A. Barnes. The New Improved Light Running SINGER is the only durable and standard machine in the market.

Sold and guaranteed by Mrs. T. M. Davis, Fre donia, Kansas. 25tf Milton Barnes arrived in Fredonia last week from Illinois, where he has been teaching for the past two vears.

Mr. Barnes expects to teach in Wilson county for a while. The first nine and the kids played a match game of base-ball on Friday last. The first nine gave the kids live outs to three, and at the close of the game the kids had 6 to 20. The Oswego club has accepted a challenge to play the Fredonia club.

This club has the reputation of being a good one and Oswego will have to look well to her laurels. Oswego Democrat. Mayor Allen and family, returned from their visit to Indiana and Ohio, on Sunday last. Mr. Allen says there is no doubt about Blaine and Logan carrying both of those states by a large majority.

Robert Steward, a farmer living four and a half miles northeast of Fredonia, had two work horses killed by lightning last week. Two other horses in the stable at the same time, but escaped uninjured. Dick Howard, we learn, has been engaged to take charge of the mechanical department of the Democrnt. Dick is a young man of good morals, genial disposition and one of the most rapid "pewter snatchers" in the state. Doctor Tandy and family, of Malta Bend, Missouri, arrived here on Monday of this week.

We are pleased to state that the doctor inteutls to make Fredonia his future home, and will engage in the practice of medicine. Paulen's new store building is rapidly neariug completion. It is the largest and most substantial built store room in the county, and when Jake gets settled to business in his new-quarters he will make "Rome howl." Will Hamilton, of Topeka, repre. sentative of the extensive blank book manufactory of Hamilton of that city, was here a couple of days this week. Will has a large circle of friends in Fredonia who are always glad to see him.

Reverend Hatfield will lecture at Hill's hall on Sunday next at 11 a. and p. in. Subject of lecture in the morning Mysterious Chariot," at night "The Greatest need of the Greatest number." All are invited to attend. J.

W. Bramhall, of Coyville, gave the Times office a pleasant call on Friday of last week. Mr. Bramhall has been acting as agent for a lumber company at Black Rock, Arkansas, the past year, and has returned home to spend the summer. B.

Morris, of Neodesha, has purchased the Dexter livery stables in this city of Col. Wiley. Mr. Morris is an old and experienced hand in the livery business, and has already replenished his stables with new stock, carriages and buggies. The "snidest" of many snide things that have struck Thayer was the Cooper, Jackson Co's.

concert given after the main performance, last Friday evening. "A surlev, low, dirty concern," was the general verdict of the many visitors. Tltaycr Head I igh We have heard only two republicans endorse St. John's course in opposing the nomination of Blaine and Logan, while on the other hand many of his warmest friends say he has dug his polical grave too deep to ever be resurrected. Poor St.

John. Deputy U. S. Marshal Baughman arrested a'man at Severy, last week on charge of perjury in entering a piece of land, lie was brought to this city, but gave bond to appear before U. S.

Commissioner Short on the 22 of July for preliminary examination. The Girard Press says the people of that city object to excursion parties visiting "that place on Sundays, and hints that a number of excursionists from Chanute, Erie and Walnut, who recently visited that city, got drunk on "commissaries" brought with them. The colored population of Fredonia is rapidly increasing. On the tirst of March there were but two colored persons within onr city limits, and now we have seven. If this class of population still continues to increase we will soon have a "colored ladies sewing 'ciety." William Rench, a tinner in the em- fdoy of J.

W. Paulen, seriously cut his land with a piece of tin while roofing Mr. Paulen's new building, on Saturday of last week. The second finger of the left hand was nearly servered. His injuries will cause him to take a lay ofTfor several days.

The gentleman in town who imagines he lias the "smallest lread of any man on earth, probably has not made the acquaintance of the chairman of the board of county commissioners of Wilson county. We think "honors would be easy" with these two gentlemen on a close measurement of they knowledge boxes.
