The selection of a location for the
county poor house is a matter of i'm
portance to Butler. The court should
be careful and get the best in sight,
as our citizens will doubtless insist
on the erection of a modern building.

best we can do for them.

Some how we cannot help being
reminded of some of the slop turned
out by over-enthusiastic American
writer's when we read OF the absurd

States which so frequently appear in
Mexico's newspapers. Can it be pos
sible that the Mexican jinioes have
page from the back of
our own John Turner?

money. Besides raising these mules
he mares are used for work on my
arm. "-Drover's Telegram.
