Notes.
The Executive committee held two
meetings this week.
At the meeting, Monday evening, pro-
vision was made for the comfort of wo-
men and children by obtaining from the
School Board the use of the school
| houses on Jefferson and Mexican streets
| for women and children.
These with the Court house, ArmOry.
Y. NJ G. A and other buildings offered
| should be sufficient for that purpose
At the meeting of Tuesday exening
| the matter of not removing the small
| relics from the show windows to the
| Armory was discussed and referred to
| the Relic Committee for action.
1t was also concluded that no lunch
| stands should be erected on the ground
| near or around the speakers or music
| stands.
Relics continue to arrive and are tax
| en- in charge by the Committee. Curtis
\ |. Christley of Slipperyrock tip. brought
| in quite a collection of interesting relics,
among them an Indian pipe of peace,
| found on the battle field of Tippecanoe,
an Indian tomahawk and scalping knife,
all of the finest dark stone, 16 arrow
| flint points, picked up on his farm in
past wears These and others We're tax
en- charge Of by Capt. Ayres.
The arch in front of the Court House
will be completed this week; the speak
| ers and music stands covered and pres
| ent indications are that all things will
| be in readiness for next Tuesday morn
| ing.
Entries for the bicycle races should be
| mailed or handed to Harry Rattlgan as
soon as possible. Entry blanks may be
| had at any bicycle store
Perhaps the Oldest spinning wheel in
| town is that i'll the window of l.. Stein
& Son 1t was brought into this coun-
| ty Is years ago
As an original thinker and vigorous
| exponent of his views, Simeon Nixon,
| will be remembered at the second Cen
tennial His contribution to the first
will be widely read.
Among the relics on exhibition owned
by early settlers is Bible and pocket
book, now the property of Samuel Find
lev of Clay twp. They formerly belong
ed to Samuel Findley, Sr., who came to
this county in 179S, and was commits
stoned Associate Judge by Gov. Nc
Kean in 1893, which position he occupi-
until his death in 1916.
Messrs Curry and Godwin's illustrat-
ed souvenir of Butler will probably be
on sale next week, as will also McCol-
lough and Christley's list of relics
1t will be the greatest display of fire
works Butler has ever seen-Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings.
The Germania will lead off on music,
but a half dozen other bands will help
out.
The Swift Mission Band of Allegheny
will have their headquarters in the Ar
bitration room of the Court House dur
ing the first day of the Centennial.
Some attention should be given to the
old cemetery at North and Mexican
SITS, where lay the bones of some of the
first Sc ttlers
1t is suggested that the portraits or
pictures of the early citizens, deceased,
of the county or town be brought out
and placed in the Armory or the store
windows during the three days OF the
Centennial
The Germania Band of Butler, con-
ssting of Is pieces; Hughes Drum Corps
of Butler; Prospect Band, 16 pieces;
Pennington Band 10 pieces; and Har-
risville Drum Corps, 20 pieces, will fur
nish the music for the Centennial;
though the Saxonburg and Evans City
bands are also expected, and the Swift
Mission of Allegheny will be accom-
panied by band.
Bits of Butler county history and folk
lore long since forgotten by most of us
have been treasured up by Simeon Nix
on and incorporated into pamphlet, to
be sold for the benefit of the Centennial
Fund Mucn of interest is co ntained
between the covers
