HI.ACKMORK & (IHIEP. —Subscribe for the CITIZKN, the oldest Republican paper of the county That "Absurd" Market House. "A wild suggestion comes from the CITIZEN, which for inten c originality and concentrated absurdity de erves a leather medal. That enterprising journal prop" <• that the County Commit-doners erect a market house on Diamond l'ark. with a cellar for the storing of onions and cab tinges. The county has as much use for a market house as it has for a daughter honse. a pig pen or a soap factory— just as much, no more; and it has the same need of any or all of these in Butler that it ha- in any other town in the county —no "more. If the people of this town want a market house, it is their own all air. a matter of municipal control, expense and revenue. But they would not. it they had the power, degrade to the purpose ot a corner grocery the only public pot which the place contains that can he devoted t > ornameut.il use Let the little l'ark be made a thing of beauty, upon which the eye of the citizen of the town or county and those of his wife and children may rest with pleasure, but sell apple butter and auer-krunt and store potatoes and turnips somewhere else." The above is from the local column of the Em/It of last week and is -in lOirm-'.ul ly vigorous language for the Professor to use as to make one fear that it was inspired by a dose of the new elixir. The people of this town need a market hone, need one badly, as badly as our esteemed contemporary .needs a local editor who will occasionally throw an "intensely original" idea, no matter how "concentratedly absurd," into the inn - of inanity that usually till it- columns; and as for location the Diamond is the only square n°ar the feiitrc of population, left open for it. A market house here would work to the advantage of the farmers of nearly the en tire county, it would induce many who do not. now think of Butler as a market to come here, it would put an end to the necessity for street peddling, the compari son and the competition there would en courage them to raise the best, they would get their cash on delivery, and would have a place to store their surplus. To the town people it presents the at traction of fresh produce on market days, pick and choice without traveling from one end of the town to the other, and a reliable supply. A market house properly managed i • a profitable institution to the owners, and as the county owns the best place in the town for it, we see no reason why it- should not hnild it, —excepting as we stated in the item that the l'rofessor jumped 011 -o furiously,—that there is at present no law for it. There is law for the building of market houses by cities. It looks now i though Butler would be a city in the near future, and then she can build a inarki I house in some out oi the way place and perhaps force people to patronize it by pro hibiting street peddling, as has been done by some of the town of the Kasteni part of State. If built by the county, everybody in the county would feel the same pro prietorship in it thai they do in the Court House, and it would be controlled in the interest of all, therefore we are in favor of a law authorizing the erection of market houses by the County Commissioners.

They have built up their immense business, ainountiiig to millinns, annually, by selling only the best goods at snch low prices—so much lower than the average "so-called largest and be t dry goods store.-," that their business grows steadily each suc cessive season. They do one of, it not the largest Mail Order Department business in the country, and you can shop by mail with I hem, petting goods from them at the Mime low prices as sold over their counters. Explanation. We have been telling you all summer how wc began the buggy business nine years ago, aud now probably you would like to know how we are succeeding. We will tell you. First we like to tell it be cause it did so much for our fellow citi zens. aud eeond. because it hits placed us in the foremost rank among the large dealers in this great Stale of ours. We believe we have the largest wholesale trade, and are confident we have the lar gest retail trade also. To give you au idea, our Mr. Lieghner has just returned front X. Y. State, where lie contracted to have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of one kind uf carts made; this we believe is Ihe largest, deal of the kind ever made in the State, .lust think ol it. .i"-!."MMHi worth of one kind of road carts, aud then think of the many other kinds we are handling. Vou would naturally ask. "Where do they go?" We could not tell you here, the freight agents at the different depots could give vou some idea, but they go. One Ihiug you may be certain 01, that it's not buying tlnir and ..filing liii/h that makes them go. Then think of the number of Dnggies, Wagons, Harness. Ac., that we sell; it would scare VOU lo tell you the amount we have sold since last January. Vou ask again, how does it come. Can't others buy for cash too aud sell just as cheap as you do? We answer: We use our own capital; we pay no rent; we have not bought a bill in 9 years, that we did dis count. You see we make this a business exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad vantage you will understand in an instant . when we tell you. According to agree ment among c.irriagc manufacturers the price is uniform on same grades of work, but purchasers of SO jolts or wore. get a dis count ol 3 per cent; purchasers of 100 jolts or more get a dis count ofs percent, and purchasers of 300 jobs or more get a dis cotiut itf 10 per cent, which is the largest discount allowed any dealer, and as we liny more than 300 you see we can sell you work at the same price small dealers pay, and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to give you the benefit of our advantage in the market, for it i> your jinlrouage that helps us. and it is only right that while you stand with us we should not betray your confidence, and we won't. Remember we are here all the time, our word is as good as gold. You know what you are getting every time we tell 3-011 plainly. We have all kinds, the cheapest and the very best, so can just suit you; we don't try to get rich oil' one customer. We never mis represent. Call and see us, whether you want to buy or not.
