"A young couple Of Butler told their
folks day or two before Thanksgiving,
that they were going "up the country" to
spend the day, and then they slipped over
to Indiana Pa. and were married. They
came home and resumed their usual ayoca-
tions, and the first their folks knew of the
matter was through the marriage license
published in the Indiana papers.
On Friday morning Of last week, while
engaged in our usual job of mailing the
BUTLER CITIZEN, ''we," the foreman of the
paper received a shock the effects Of which
we were unable to shake off for several
hours. We will be frank and tell you all
about it: While engaged in attending to
nobody's business but our own, an agent
for type foundry came in and asked If he
could get an order for some type. The
editor Immediately asked us if any type
was needed-a thing that has not occurred
before to the recollection Of the Oldest in
habitant-, and we meekly responded we
would like some small plea, "'Tis order
ed, said His Royal Highness, and in the
same breath he asked "what elseYp We,
getting little bolder said we would ap-
preciate a new font of head letter, be said
" tbs done, we stood this all right, but
when he asked ''wha. nextY" 1t took
our breath away but when we came to we
were more bold than before, and asked for
five fonts Of fine job type (cxpecting to get
killed for asking though), but, the same
old reply $50 be il, caused Us to reflect
and see il we had noticed a screw loose in
the editors "make up" that morning, but
he appeared as solid as "pi," and he CON
tinued anything elseiD and we ordered
type and labor saving material enough TO
make the CITIZEN Office the best equipped
job Office in Butler county (bring on your
jobs). When we recovered, three hours
later, we learned-not through the editor
that the cause Of all this unheard Of ex-
travagaDce was the arrival at the editors
house Of what will (by and by) be as
sistant editor. In other words its boy.
