Now, that the sweet angel of peace
has spread her white wings over our
fair nation; and the crops We're all good
and are safely gernered, would it not be
a capital idea for us ell to celebrate and
have jolly good time-and if that is
the general feeling why not all take in
the big Butler Fair"-have county
reunion indeed. Every person in this
county can find something at the Fair
to instruct, interest and entertain them,
besides the social part of it-meeting
old friends and making new acqualn
tances, etc, and right in this connec-
tion / must say that in no county in
Pennsylvania will there be found fair
ground like ours-either in size or
pleasantness of location and ARRANGE
ments, and the order is always or the
very best. The races are always good
and the track one of the best half-mile
tracks in the country.

THE MARKETs-On Monday last
both agencies advanced the price two
cents ON credit balance, and we had
dollar oil for the first time in two years,
and remains at that point.
Cow RUN-The Derrick of last Sat
nrday said n prominent oil operator
came up from Parkersburg, w. Va,
to-day and while in the lower South
west said he had visited the Cow Run
sand development below Williams
town. When asked if their was any
excitement down that way, he said that
it could be called Excitement Why
they are paying S75 an acre bonus and
quarter royalty and falling over one an
other to get it at such unwarranted
terms. 1t is inexpensive territory to
operate, owing to the shallow depth at
which the oil is found. The operator
referred to said the leases were cut up
into small patches and the wells would
be drilled right up against the lines.
There is well now starting within 30
feet of the one completed few days
ago on the johnson farm Only those
