scured tie sdn, making it difficult for a

Fruit and shade trees suffered the worst,

large quantities. A great many ricks Of
hay were blown down and scattered in

one day this week who has been thinking
of moving to Kansas to live. He had
selected Garrett on account of their
large school building and apparently
fine school prospects. While in that
town last week he learned that the old

only . four months school. He now
thinks of locating elsewhere. We men
ton this to call the attention of our cit

EDITOR REGISTER: After having
again arrived in my native Key Ston,
State. and having corresponded;with my
relatives and acquaintance, will DROP
few lines for the purpose of filling q
short space in column of THE REGIS
TER. The weather has been dry. Last
week brought long-wished for shower,
and now vegetation is again progressive.
In this county the crops are, generally,
better than they have been for q mum.
Der of years.
Through one Of my worthy correspon.
dents l have been painfully informed Of
the death of the lola Silver Cornet Band.
Oh! how shocking, how thrilling, how
heart breaking, how bitter and how sad
the news is to an old member. I al.
most imagined I heard its sweet notes
sounding through the crowded streets Of
once favored lola ON the Fourth. But
alas how deceived was I. What has
become of the boys? Have they blown
themselves entirely away? The band
was certainly composed of the most
worthy young men to be found in
lola and surrounding, therefore would
say, boys, get up in the morning, re-organ
ize and let the once delightful sounds
echo and re echo through the bottoms
along the Neosho river, Elm and Rock
creeks. and will give you my word of
praise and show my liberality by giving
two cents-one for its death and one for
its resurrection. Yours truly,
C. Fl. RICHARDS.
