Therefore, if Butler sets down and waits to see dirt fly on the grade of the Rock Island railroad to be sure that the road is going to be built, we may regret our inactivity, Like other towns on or near the line of this proposed new road we should be up and doing. We would all dis- like very much to have the road miss Butler six miles to the east. It may do it. The town of Altamont, eight miles west of Gallatin on the Rock Island railroad was swept by fire Christmas night, eight business houses in the center of the town being destroyed together with their stocks of mer- chandise.

The accident to his machine in the break- ing of one of the large glass wheels has been repaired, by an electrician, and the machine has been thorough- ly cleaned and put in first-class con- dition for work. The repairs had to be ordered from New York, hence the delay in getting machine in working order again. Now that the holiday trade is over the merchants of Butler should not lull themselves to sleep for two or three months waiting for spring trade to open up. There is plenty of money in the hands of the people yet, and if you have what they want you can get it. If advertising was good to bring Christmas trade, why is it not good now to bring other trade.
