The plan oi a proposed history of our county was placed before ns several months ago by Mr. R. C. Brown of the publishing firm ol R. C. Brown & Co. We then gave the enterprise our endorsement and sup port. To day we have a clearer concep tion of the scope of this work and believe that the many chapters, devoted to the general history of the county, as well as those to the townships, boroughs and vil lages, will lorm the complete story of this county from the days of the Indian occupa tion to our own times. The first chapter on the physical structure of the county, it* mineral resources, soils, etc., etc. will be written from the latest and most authentic data; the chapters on the aborigines and pioneers will be the recital of tho names and incidents attendant on the going of the Redman aud the coming of the Cnuca sian. That portion devoted to local gov ernment will firm a correct review of the acts of the Commissioners, and the official life of the County; while that to the Courts and Bar will be a record of the lawyers ol the past and present, of tho Judges who presided,and of celebrated cases tried here. Military affairs will be very fully treated, the rosier of the companies raivd in this county being made a par' of thin important chapter. How far Bu l«r county was identified wit!', the War ot 1812, the Mexi can War, and the Q .eat Rebellion will be shown, and the names of L<.i gallant sons who went forth from their homes to assist in repelling foreign invasion, and later to preserve tho Union, will be given. The chapters on the medical profession, journal ism, education, religious societies, manu factures, mining, canals, railroads, agri cultural and other associations, and the discovery and development of the great oil and gas fields of this section of the State, will all be fall and accurate; while the many other chapters on the several town ships and boroughs of the county, together with much valuable biography and genealogy, will prove a veritable encyclo pedia ol local history. It appears to us now that the publishers are determined to surpass the excellent record they made in the neighboring counties of Venango and Mercer, and convinced of this we again welcome their enterprise and wish the work every success. How i 3 This ? Something unique even in these days of mammoth premium oflers. it is the latest effort of Stafford's Magazine, a Xew York monthly of home aud general reading. The proposition is to send the Magazine one year for one dollar, the regular sub scription price; and in addition to send each subscriber fifty-two complete novels during the twelve mouths: one each weeek. Think of it. You receive a new and com plete novel, by mail, post paid,every week for fifty-two weeks, and in addition you get tbe magazine once a month for twelve months, all for one dollar. It is an offer which the publishers cau only afford to inak'-' in the confident expectation of get ting a hundred thousand new subscribers. Among the authors in the coming series are Wilkie Collins, Walter Besfant, Mrs. Olipbant, Mary Cecil llay, Florence Marryat, Anthony Trollope, A. Conan Doyle, Miss Braddon, Captain Marryat, Miss Thackery and Jules Verne. If you wish to take advantage of this unusual op portunity. send one dollar for Stafford's Magazine, one year Your first copy of the magazine and your first number of Ithe fifty two novels (one each week) which you are to receive during the year will be sent you by return mail.

Don't you know that every sack of Western Flour you buy makes the towu poorer and every j bag of Western l-'eed you buy makes mon ; ey scarcer in Butler and consequently | time? harder T When yon buy Wecttrn I Flour and Feed you discriminate against 1 the Butler farmer.against the Butler carner, against the Butler manufacturer. Suppose you continue this policy, extend it to other branches, and buy your uieat and your bread and your other things out West too. Why. you will have no need for batchers, nor lor bakers, nor for anv stores. This practice would bring business ; to a stand-still.
