The Butler Fair.
The Butler Fair is an institution about
which we are always glad to say a good
word,because it is not managed for gain
nor in the interest of any set or cliqne.
The manngers are good men and citi
zens who do not care to make money
out of the Fair, bnt have a pride in their
county and its progress, and have been
endeavoring to make the Fair strictiv
an educational institution and to this
end have always endeavored to have
the best quality of exhibits and have
paid liberally for them, so that what
the people see at the Butler Fair can be
relied upon as the best in the land.
This has cost the management so much
that it has not l»een able to declare a
dividend to its stockholders for more
than ten years, the officers who do the
bulk of the work, receive less than com
mon wages for their work and risk.
Three years ago was the dry and dnsty
year which increased the expenses and
prevented people coming ana the asso
ciation lost over S2OOO that year, yet
paid all the premiums in full. In addi
tion they try to keep off the grounds all
kinds or gambling and immoral shows,
so that at Butler's Fair everyone can
rest assured of an enjoyable time and
of meeting their old friends and having
a sociable time on a beautiful ground,
where good order and amusement al
ways preyail.
Why shouldn t we sjieak a good word
for it, and why shouldn't all the people
of Butler county do the same, and also
nttend the Fair as many days as possi
ble. It looks now as if this is going to
lie the best one ever held on the grounds.

The big Butler fair is about due.
Next week the big Butler fair will be

in the midst of enjoyment. A gieat
many people intend spending three full

The grounds are delightful, the show
promises to be better than ever and the

could think of to add to the comfort of
the patrons of the fair. They have
added five more acres of beautiful
ground; put up more hitching posts;

and performing 25 different feats on a
f incn wire rope 325 feet long, high in
the air is also one of the attractions.

Tiio Kt'iuiiou at Buffalo.
The 3lst reunion of the Grand Army
of the Republic was held in the city of
Buffalo, N. Y., last week and was a
grand success. The camp was called
Camp Jewett in honor of the Mayor of
Buffalo. It was situated on the shore
of lake Erie, including the grounds of
Fort Porter, and commands a fine view
of Canada from that point. There were
tents for 100,000 men on the grounds,
all water proof, with matresses in them
laid on board floors to prevent damp
ness, water plenty and every conven
ience for washing, and meals from ten
cents to fifty cents as the soldier desir
ed, a large tent for speaking and hold
ing camp fires, which was filled every
afternoon and evening during the week.
The grand parade was on Wednesday
and was headed by the President of the
United States and his Cabinet. It
commenced to move at 0 A. M. and
continued to move all day until 5 P. M.
There were about 75,000 old veterans in
line. When the head of the procession
arrived at the grand stand the Presi
dent and several Major Generals,
among them Gen. Stickles, stopped
and remained there all day, the Presi
dent standing up with his head nn
covered bowing to the soldiers as they
passed.
The streets were lined with people as
closely packed as they could possibly
be for two miles, and cheering the old
veterans as they passed along. One
pleasant feature was the cheers that
were continually given all along tue
rout for A G. Reed Post No. 105, from
Butler Pa., there were about 100 men
in this Post in line and walking with
the color bearers were I. J. McCand
less' twins. At one point there were
about 2000 children dressed in red,
white and blue seated in the form of a
shield, on a stand erected for the pur
pose and as the soldiers passed they
waived their handkerchiefs and cheer
ed. There were flower girls all along
the route strewing flowers in their path
as they passed along, reminding one of
the ovation General Washington re
ceived after the Revolution. Taking it
all in all it was the most successful re
union the Grand Army has had since
1865.
The soldiers will all go home prais
ing the good peojile of Buffalo for their
entertainment. Pennsylvania was es
pecially honoied having been given a
place of honor in the parade, and the
next Commander in the person of Gen
eral Gobin. W. L. G.

What People Say Who Are
Using Home Com=
fort Ranges.
DKNT P. 0., Green Co. Pa.
To the public at large.
About twelve years ago, we purchased
a "Home Comfort Range" from one of
the "Wrought Iron Range" Company's
Salesmen. I-our years ago, our house
burned down, and of course we thought
our range was ruined. But, when the
fire had died down, we got the range out
of the debris, and found the body of the
range to be perfect, not warped or
ciacked. Of course some of the fixtures
were broken off, knobs etc.. but think
ing that we could not do without a
"Home Comfort Uange" we sent it to
the factory, and to our surprise they
sent it back as good as new without a
cent of charge excepting the freight.
Yours Respt,

A Perfect Cut.
When you get a suit you want
it made right. A perfect cut is
necessary. High grade goods, a
perfect cut and careful workman
ship are a combination which
give the best results and these
are apprccirted by the customer.
In thrtt. way he gets his money's
worth.
A Standard Established. You
see it yourself. No one need ex
plain to you why the clothes
made by us are the most popular.
Ours is a standard that makes
them perfect. We keep our
goods up to the limit of perfec
tion and our workmen all assist
in making the clothes first-class.
It is Easy Enough to cut into
cloth and turn out clothes. It
takes ability to obtain perfect re
sults. Our tailors are the best,
our cutter an attist and the per
fect results as natural as the mis
takes of others. Because our
clothes arc the best, people want
them.
