LOCAL AND GENERAL, —The new School Board will organ ize on June 7th. —The Butler stores will soon begin closing at 6 p. m. —lt was a long rain, longer than Qneen Vic's, but it seems to be over. —Evans City will have an old-fash ioned celebration of the glorious 4th. —The slag from E. Wayne St. is be ing used to improve E. Quarry and Mill Sts. —East Clay St.. has been opened at last. It has been on the council tapis for several years. —The State Medical Association, and the Baptist Church Societies met in Pittsburg, this week. The Elgin Butter Factory at Moni teau is a grand success. Moss. Gross man is the manager. —Burglarious burglars burgled the "Bessie" station at Branchton last Fri day night and baggwl some booty. —And now some of the papers an nounce that the seventeen-year locusts are to eat us out this season. —Because you have a few notions in your head you need not think you're a department store. —We often wonder why some people always get trusted at home and go ont of town to spend their money. —lmmense catches of Lake Erie blue pike are being made and the wholesale price has gone down to a minnow-mum. —Have you seen John R. Grieb's Honey boy? He's the IK>SH infant in town. Look in the show-window as you pass. —You will soon be ordering your supply of ice for the summer months, and when yon do remember Jno. A. Bichey, at the bakery. —A buggy was stolen from Daniel Sbnster of Buffalo twp. last Saturday night. The thief was seen driving through Sarversville at 1 P. M. —A Corry editor makes the startling statement that there are -several can nibals in that town-—yonng men who live off their parents. —A hi# blast at the Jamisonville cut last Friday swamped the track, ami \ blocked travel nntil evening. One man on the morning train said the delay cost him S4OO. -The P. R. It. and P, & W. time ta bles on our Ist. page are incorrect. They were printed before the new ones were received at this office. See note «L>£ changes made, on this page. —An exchange says that until a man is absolute master of the bicycle he had better not attempt to raise his hat to some fair acquaintance, or the im pression he makes may not be altogeth er such a one as he had hoped. —W. R. Eakin and John H. Camp bell have dissolved partnership in the the grocery business -Mr Eakin retir ing. Mr. Campbell will continue the business at the old stand near the Cen tre Ave. bridge, and will keep "good, honest goods at the very lowest, cash prices. The alley between the south ends of Main and McKean Sts., is being ex tensively used now on account of the paving operations on E. Wayne, and yet wagons are being allowed to ob struct it. One runaway has already oc cured in it, due to an upturned wagon bed, and more may follow. —The cry of the whippoorwill was heard during the past week, for the first time this season. It is a migra tory bird, and the Indians used to re gard it as the herald of summer. When they heard its first cries in the twilight they considered it a notification to •"plant tha ground." —Houses are scarce in Butler, and it is seldom that a really desirable house can be had at a reasonable figure. How ever we know of a very desirable, seven - room, cottage house, 011 an elevated lo cation, just outside the gas li mit, but with spring water and large lot. that can be had cheap. For parti culars in quire at this office —Tree planting shonld be made one of the adjuncts of the movements for road improvements. Shade trees along the highway add to the beauty of the landscape and to the value of adjoining property. The time will come when this matter will receive the attention which it deserves, in town and conntry. The shade secured in this way during the heat of summer is grateful to man and Iwast. Every jwrson who plants and cares for a tree by the roadside or on the town sidewalk, is a philanthro pist. -The individual merchant who 'ob jects to advertising in church or charity programs finds himself unable to with hold his announcement from such me diums because his refusal to advertise, perhajm, results in a loss of customers among the people who are soliciting for the gratuity. When, however, all the merchants in a town agree not to ad vertise in programs of any kind, no merchant isupt to lose any custom, for his rival refuses as well as he. and all axe likely to save considerable money. The newspapers are recording many agreements of this character. LEGAL NEWS NOTES I License Conrt will commence Tin | day June 22: Monday. May 31 is the 1 last day for tiling applications. Mrs Jas.

Tennessee peas are selling at our stores for 50c a peck, and strawberries at 12 to 15c. —One reason why the people never pay attention to signs and advertise ments daubed on old fences, stables and bridges is because they do not know whether they are reading the ad- . vertisement of some firm that is still in business, or one that has been dead for years. When people read the advertise ments in a newspaper that is up to date they know that the advertiser is alive and doing business. —At a special meeting of Council i last night it was decided to pave I North St. from Franklin to Main this i year and the balance of the street next ' year- the contract for the stone work of the Mercer St. bridge was awarded i to Peier Schenck; an offer by Mr. ' Crouch to furnish slag for streets was ] accepted: the bridge on Mercer St. was - awarded to the Canton Bridge Co. a petition for the paving of Fairview ave. was referred to the paving committee. - The opening of Joseph Home & Go's store in Pittsburg Monday, breaks all previous records in the history of mercantile business. Just fourteen days after the great fire a complete , stock has been gathered together, ready for the purchaser. The rapid work is phenomenal. The Dry Goods Economist, a recognized authority in the drygoodsl world, has the following to say in a telegram sent to the firm: "We know of no such instance of rap id work as you have aaeomplished in re establishing your immense business in the brief period of fourteen days, twoof which were Sundays We l)elieve yon have made a record." The opening of the new store, corner of Cecil Alley and Perm Avenue, adjoin ing the Home office building and across the alley from where the fire raged, is considered an instance of good luck by the firm, as the building now occupied is eight stories high, 125 feet front and 205 feet deep.
