THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Butler, Pa.jWednesday, Jur019,1867.
Uiit Hwiis
Shortly after we took charee of the
American Citizen we requested tbe citi
*en* of the different townships and bor
oughs of our county, to favor ua with
short articles upoa matters of local inter
est, for publication. We return ouf
thanks to those who have already eom
. plied with the request.
There are, no doubt, many subjects of
local interest to the different parts of our
edunty which conld be made known thro'
<he columns of the county papers. Our
readers look for and expeot to see in the
columns of the county papera, the lo**al
news of our county. This expectation
can oaly be realised in one way —and
that is, by citifns favoring us with these
items for publication. You will see at
onco that it is impossible for an editor to
give matters of local interest, in a rural
district, unless he is furnished with the
same. Every person, therefore, interest
ed in their county, and county papers,
Will favor us with short items and com
munications on subjects of interest to
the people.
Tt ew Jail,
The contract for the New Jail and
Sheriff's House, his been given to John
K. Kennedy, of Prospect; he beinp the
lowest bidder. We are informed that
the, work is to be commenced in a short
time. Mr. Kennedy is well known to
many of our eitizeos as an energetic
business man, and it is confidently bcliev
ed that the work will he puthed forward
to rapid completion. The carpenter work
has been awarded to Mr. Purvis, of But
ler,who is known as a first class woikmar.
Owing to the fact that it wus impossi
ble to have the old buildings removed
from the lot at an early date, and that,
iin consequence a great p'irt of the build
ing season has already passed, the new
buildings cannot be completed this year;
but we have no doubt all will be done
that perseverance and energy can accom
plish.
CSBSSFI,
A vocal and instrumental concert will
be given in the Courthouse on the even
ing of the sth of July next, by the pupils
of Wm. R. Colbert.
This, no doubt, will be a rich enter
tainment. The lovers of music, and the
public generally, should make their cal
culations to be present on the occasion.
" 'Tit mnnic churma na U«»t on «»rth,
And gre«ta us flrwt in H^nren.'*
The singing of sweet, select music,
is certainly very entertaining,and the old
and youag could not spend the evening
more appropriately than by attending the
concert.

▲ CHALLENGE
Fee • Grand Mawlng Match
Near Butler.
Knowing that man/ farmara in this and
adjoining counties had, heratofora, been
deceived in the purchase of inferior Mow*
ing Machines, before offering any for
sale in thia section we endeavored to as
certain which might be the beat adapted
to the wanta of oar farmers. In the
course of onr investigation we learned
that Messrs. John Hall & Co., of Pitts*
burph, had traveled over many Statea of
the Union and examined nearly all the
machines made, and finally selected the
Union as the best and the one which they
engaged in manufacturing to supply the
demands of the western portion of the
State; all with whom we had conversed,
who had used the Union Mower, also
agreed in pronouncing it a first class Ma
chine; consequently, we selected it as
the best, and entered into arrangements
with the manufacturers to sell it to the
fatmers of Butler county. Hut we find
that those engaged in selling other mi>
chines assert that their's are superior \J>
the Union. In order, therefore, that far
mors and ethers may have practical illus
trations of the good and bad qualities of
the different machines offered for Bile. we
challenge Messrs. J. G. k Wm Camp
hell. and all others engaged in the sale of
Mowing Machines in this county, to en
ter into a mowing match in a field which
may l>e se'ected, near Butler, at as early
a day as the necesssry arrangements can
be made. What say you, Messrs. Camp
bell, and oth»rs? Do you accept the
challenge ? If so, let us proceed at once
to select a field, the proper number of
impartial judges, and miike the necessary
arrangements for the contest.
Farmers will please b°ar in mind that
if the parties tj whom this challenge is
extended, fail or refuse to accept, and
assist in miking the necessary arrange
ments, that the Union Mower will be ex
hibited in a field near Butler, at the ear
liest da; possible. Those who contem
plate purchasing machines should wait
and witness the contest or exhibition ,
notice of the time and place of which
will be given next week.
