pleassnter to look through the adver
tiseinents of a paper than it is to bore
the clerks and waste her own time.

derfnl Growth in Popula
tion—Why Wo Should At
tend thr Fair.
The Bntler Fair is a corporation,
chartered under the laws of Pennsylva
nia. with capital stock of $"25,000. which
stock is owned by more than 300 repre
sentative citizens of Bntler county, who
are engaged in almost every line of bus
iness. The board of managers or direc
tors number 15 men, who are chosen b>
the stockholders every year to manage
the business of the association. \ou
will realize by this that the Great But
ler Fair is not the possession of a few
people, but that there is scarcely a fam
lly in the county tbat is not in some
way represented as part owners, exhib
itors or helpers.
It would possibly seem that it wonlu
take but a short time to arrange and as
scinble a Fair even of this magnitude,
but snch is not the case, as there is
scarcely a week iD the entire year that
the managers do not devote part of
their time in securing attractions or ex
hibits for this great affair. 'ion will
therefore not be surprised when you see
the Fair this year and realize the great
improvement in every line over last
year.
Every citizen of the county will real
ize and appreciate that we have passed
through a period of great prosperity
during this past year—the crops have
been good and commanded the highest
price, with a ready market, which has
helped to place the farmer, business
man and mechanic in a very prosperous
condition, and now since harvest is over
and before we begin to prepare for an
other winter it would seem like a great
pleasure to join with all our neighbors
and friends at the great home-coming
jubilee to be held on the Butler Fair
Grounds, when we can not only meet
our neighbors but many friends in this
and adjoining connties that we have
not seen for a whole year. Combined
with the above pleasure we will also en
joy the privilege of seeing the best pro
ducts of our county—composed of agri
cultural products, machinery and
stock whieli enables us to increase onr
efforts for an eveu more prosperous year
for 1907.
All the railroads are co-operating with
the association by furnishing cheap ex
cursions and special trains, with extra
equipment for this great affair which
they realize will eclipse any former
gathering in the history of the county.
While Thursday, 33rd, will l»e the
banner day in attendence yet the ex
hibitions, free attra-tions, racing, etc.,
will be equally as good on every other
day and in order to realize the enormity
this year it will be entertaining as well
us educational to arrange your affairs
to attend every day, as the admission is
so small that it is only a tritie compared
with any other outing at which vou
would receive much less benefit.
The entries in speed department are
coming in earlier and more of them
than at any former Fair and the same
is true of the stock, for exhibitions and
every other department.
The grounds are finer and accomoda
tions more complete than they have
ever been The Street Car Co. has pro
vided new cars-the Association many
more free attractions and the whole af
fair is in readiness to show to the
patrons of the Fair, composed of people
all over Western Pennsylvania what a
wotinderful county we live in.
It is scarcely necessary to enumerate
the many attractions and amusements
as the managers have guaranteed us
that the Big Butler Fair will stand in a
class by itself at the head of the list
compared with other fairs in this sec
tion of the country,
In addition to all the above mention
ed facts the merchants of the county
are co-operating in forming a great in
dustrial perade for Thursday forenoon
that will promenade the grounds in
connection with the brass band and ex
hibit their wares and merchandise on
loaded wagons which in itself is fully
worth more than the small admission
charged at the gate
Do not forget to hour the ICth Regi
ment Band and the juver.ile band of
Greenville composed of 30 boys in uni
form. All get ready and we will meel
you at the Bie Butler Fair, August 91
124, and see the Great Wild West Show,
