Butler has two good school houses for white children and is now building a good house for the colored children. When this is completed her school facilities will be second to no town in this part of the country. These schoo] houses contain spacious rooms, fineiy furnished, well lighted, and furnished with good blackboards, cloak rooms and all the conveniences of the most improved school house architecture. Such advantages with an able corps of experienced teach- ers will enable the pupil to do better work than ever before.

The course of study has been thoroughly revised and much new and interesting mat- ter introduced, so that it now cor |"esponds with the work in the best | city schools.—Record.

The all-absorbing topic at the present writing is the prospect well being sunk in the north part of town. The drill has penetrated mother earth to a considerable depth and among other things has struck a vein of natural gas. It is well known that Butler fora long time has had an inexhaustible supply of gas of a certain quality, but we are happy to say that this last produc- tion will burn. Without doubt our find will be of great benefit to our town and county by attracting man- ufacturing enterprises, and we have good reason to feel elated. But there are other things that must not be overlooked in the general excite- ment. Among these is the great house furnishing enterprise that we are conducting at the Opera House in this city. Besides the usual heavy stock of staple furniture, we have added a large line of carpet, rattan, plush and leather rocking chairs that must be seen to be ap- preciated.
