Postmaster John Walters, though al
ways attentive to business has found
time to design and have made a device
for holding his money order book which
works perfectly. A money order book
is thick and clCmsy, making it trouble
some to write in on account of its thick
ness. John set himself to devise a hold
er and the result is marvellous. Every
postmaster in the country should have
one and steps have already lie N taken to
secure a patent on the invention making
it applicable to any book. Evans City
Times
Mart Gibson makes a good suggestion.
1t is, that the old Wigton house, yet
standing in Slipperyrock township, near
the Park, be brought to Butler, erected
on the Diamond, and fitted up as in
| days of yore. There is probably no
| more historical house in the county
| than the Wigton. 1t is built of logs
| and can be taken down, brought to Bot
| Ter and rebuilt, and made the receptacle
of all the curios in the county Doing
| these things, however, will take both
money and time, 50 be as generous as
possible with the Finance Committee,
when it calls upon you. ,
p. S. Since the above was put in type
| w. II. Wigton Informs us that the old
log house referred to was taken down
some years ago However there are
other old log houses in the county, or a
| new one wOuld do nearly as well
