810 BUTLER FAIR.
Time passes and in three weeks more
the Big Butler Fair will be on hand and
every person will bf there. The indi
cations now are for the largest crowd
and finest exhibits that have ever been
assembled in Butler county. It seems
as though everybody is making arrange
ments to take that week for the Fair
and no person who has never been to
the Butler Fair can understand the
immense affair that it is, and the pride
everyone takes in telling they have been
to the Fair, because it is their Fair,
managed in the interest of the many
and not of a few. It is no catchpenny
affair but a high class educational in
stitution calculated to make everyone
better because they were there. If it
were not that the Directors wanted to
please the people they would not have
engaged the Great Demerast Eques
triene aggregation at the cost of nearly
one thousand dollars, in addition to all
the other attractions. Entries are al
ready coming in of High Class articles
and animals, and it looks as though in
order to see the whole exhibition, will
require several days, but it only comes
once a year. The week of' all weeks,
here is the place to meet your friends,
many you have not met for years, yon
see them at the Fair, they come to see
you and expect you there. Don't dis
appoint them, you can bring your din
ner along if you desire and eat it in
the beautiful grove, or you can get
dinner on the ground?. Thousands take
their dinners along, and it is quite
customary now to hold family reunions
on the Fair Grounds. The grounds are
large and plenty of good water and
shade. Tell everybody you will meet
them at the Fair, your Fair, their Fair,
everybodys Fair that behaves them
selves. Don't forget the date, its only
three Begins August 22nd and
lasts four days, and every day will be
good.

SUMMER COIJDS.
Summer Colds, Hay Fever, Rose
Catarrh and Influenza might be classed
as Summer Grip and are most distress
ing and exasperating, especially for
those who cannot indulge in an ocean
voyage or a trip to the mountains. The
suffering is keen and acute for the stay
at-homes.
Dr. Humphreys' Specific "Seventy
seven" has earned a well deserved repu
tation as a cure. The use of "77" stops
the sneezing, relieves the asthmatic con
dition, soothes and heals the mucus
membrane: the running from the eyes
and nose ceases aud confort is restored.
