Petes | THE CAMPAIGN “TIMES.” i is is campaign year in the N Presi- | tion, State and County, from sbeat dent to Coroner. The interests in- | volved will be of vital importance to the people, and _ they should keep thoroughly posted. To that end THe SUTLER WEEKLY will be TIMES reduced as tollows: Begining on the rst of March, the paper will be sent to any address till | January rst 1885, for SEVENTY-FIVE '$ IN ADVANCE, or the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Times, for,the same period tor ONE DOLLAR } AND EIGHTY =-FIVE CENTS. This is a very low rate, and all who do not take the Times should embrace this opportunity. Money must be in advance, as we cannot at- ford to make this reduction ‘‘on credit.” We will gladly furnish sample copies tree. MANUFAUTURING PROSPECTS- Every now and then the subject ef manutactures comes up in some sort of way for the consideration ot Butler’s citizens. The last time it was discussed to any extent and preliminary action taken, was just prior to the Walnut -‘boom’’, put the latter so overshadowed the for- mer subject that it was laid to rest in a twelve month oblivion. Develop- ndicated the er- ments have clearly ror made in the selection of an annu- Electric city. al “boom” for the Now as the prospect for Walnut re— booming this season is among the doubtful things yet to be, we think | the time propicious tor a reconsider- ation of our manufacturing interests. The proposition made by Messers ff & Hooper to establish an im- plement manufactory in Buder, may possess more merits than at first ap | pears, after a careful review and in- vestigation has been given by ul conmmittee appointed tor the pose. To our mind the question is pk It is s to this proposition: reduced n enough. ply Is the franchise on their manufactured articles worth the $15.000. of $40,000 capital, as should be organized at once. Tf so, then a company suggested, If the and franchise 1s is apparently worthless, then there is and breath as represented no use Wasting time in} discussing the matter atall.

We doubt not but there will be ore than one proposal. Mr. Rae- ' der will, in all probability, submit a bid from his company, besides others yetto hearfrom. We are only agitat- ing the subject now that the public may be informed of wat is cominy, | and to some degree have its mind made up as to whether to vote yes or no on a reasoable proposition to supply the city with water and gas. ——— The Times says it s the ouly country paper in the State that fur- nishes its readers weekly with the portraits accompanied with brief bi- ographies of the leading public men of the union.”” * * * = = * By taking a bushel ot these cutsand ‘*briet biographies’ any body can get them at reduced This kind ot blowing one’s rates. own horn smacks somewhat of the ridiculous. —Record.
