LOCAL AND GENERAL, The Present Situation. A),' things were looking awful blue. Looking a regular indigo hue Oil way down, and wages too, Not a thing for drillers to do. Your next door neighbor looked at von Fit to pierce you through and through And see if there wasnt some mortgage due. And every day a long array of judg ments new Were written down in "Record 2. Then what does some clever-fellow do, Just to make things a bluer blue, Just to season the salty stew "Standard Oil" times brought to pass, But try to smash our work in glass Afraid* he would not get his cash. Rather see things go to smash. Mortgage, receiver and such bash Combines to make the Plate Works crash. Twas enough to make an angel '■ It fairly took, wheif noised around, The starch clean out of our old town But ah! it brought out more than that! Staid old Butler to being knocked flat Would not concent, like an angry cat Her backbone rose and she loudly spat At the Plate Glass Trust, and threat ened to bat The life clean out of anything that Would interfere with the commissariat Of half the town. The Plate Glass boys were to have a parade And show the stuff of which they are made. Tbo' they didn't, they spoke for their bread and butter And loug and lond each curse they utter Against all trusts, and especially The one that's fighting the home com pany. Ant" the people began to pull together, Give helping hands to one another. And man to man they stood to weather Depression's blast, when 10, at last The sky whose clouds had overcast Old Butler's weal had cleared; 'twas past Prosperity came on as fast As sea winds roam. And it was made right here at home. This story's moral is shortly told, Follow tbe rule taught by him of old. To unto others as you would be done by. Help your neighbor while helping yourself, Yon will best increase your own fund by Increasing the work, reputation and wealth Of the town. E. N. —A few evenings ago a tree on the Beck farm in Summit twp. was struck by lightning. —T. H. Bnrton has rented the store room now occnpied by J. K.

A poor farm has proven to be a good insti tution in many of the adjoining coun ties and it was a matter of much regret to a large number of voters who had carefully studied the matter that when it came up before the voters of Clarion county at a recent election it was de feated. It will lie interesting to know how Butler county will deal with the matter. —East Brady Review. —We hear a great deal about the un necessary expenses of the maintenance of the Mercer county poor farm. A Mercer county man who was in Butler tbis week said their* poor farm was n?arly self sustaining,--their poor tax was practically nothing, the male pau pers work the farm and the women care for the house and the children, everything is neat, clean and in good order, all by the paupers own work. In his opinion a poor farm is the only humane and economical way of caring tor the poor. A poor farm, honestly managed, is undoubtedly the best so lution to the Poor question. —London in spoken of an the heart of England tx-caune it iH the financial cen ter New York makes 11. similar claim to consideration an the heart of thin country Well, if the money centre is the heart of the business world, presid ing over the circulation of its blood, what metaphor will dencriite the indus trial centre?

P Blakeslee, one of the County Commissioners of Crawford county writes as follows "We think it much cheaper to main tain our poor at the County Farm than any other way. The farm furnishes a large amount of the supplies necessary for their maintenance including milk and Imiter and vegetables of all kinds, and we can look after their wants with less trouble and expense than we could if they were scattered over the county.
