Mission, on our streets Thursday. Mesr.
Hutchings & Dennison are engaged in
the celebrated school district case that
has vexed our court for several terms.
Be very guarded in your remarks should
a gentleman resembling some east
ern capitalist try to interview you in
regard to your personal property. The
assessor is abroad in the land and he il
very inquisitive as to the amount of your
goods and chattels.
A petition was sent to the Postmaster
General some time since asking for in.
creased mail facilities between lola and
Wilsonville. The people of Usage town.
ship should have be tier accommodations
in that line. What the result has been
we do not as yet know.
Messrs. White & Chollette are making
things hum in the coffin business. When
they throw in hearse free it might tempt
some-but not any for US, thank you.
Nevertheless read their advertisement
and find out where your possible needs
can be cheaply furnished.
House room is in great and increasing
demand. Every day there is one or more
new applications for dwelling houses.
We predict there will be a greater
amount of improvement in lola the COM
ing season than we have had in the same
space of time in seven years.
1t is good thing to burn off the old
grass and rubbish at this time of year,
provided the fires are properly watched
and property carefully protected. But
fires which are recklessfy set by the
farmers themselves or by tramps are al
most sure to do great damage by burning
up fences aud hay stacks, and sometimes
new barns and houses.
Mr. B. F. Pratt, lately from New York
State has purchased the old Freeman
farm one mile south of lola, and intends
moving upon it this spring Mr.. Pratt
was for number of years Professor of
the Rochester schools but failing health
admonished him to give up his profess
sion. He is gentleman who will prove
an acquisition to our community.
Workmen have commenced alterations
and Improvements upon the old Neosho
Valley House, it having been decided
upon to repair and change the shape so
As to make a number of first class suits
Of rooms. Partitions will be put in so
as to make different houses, suitable tor
renting. The matter was decided upon
when Mr.. John ii. Moore, the present
owner, was here last week.
The gentleman living on the place
owned by Mr.. Moore, of Pennsylvania,
while burning rubbish, allowed the fire
to get away from him, resulting in the
loss of fence for himself and Mr.. Torrance.
On Monday fire set out in the same
burned some fencing for Judge
Talcott and Mr.. Northrup. People can
not be too careful in setting out fires and
should have their premises well guarded
by fire guards.
Last Saturday might party of young
men came up from Humboldt on hand |
ar and stopped short time in lola. |
They started back about ten o'clock but
'ome miserable miscrcants (who are
had placed an old gate on the
rack and the car was thrown off, hurt
ng one person severely. The parties
Who did the mischief may be thankful
hat they escaped prosecution and for
he future had better be careful of their
,ctions.
In calling attention to the stock of
furniture just received by Miller, the
urniture man, we do SO believing
t an act of simple justice. To say that
lie has the finest stock in Allen county
would not be all the truth. That he has
he finest stock this side of Kansas City
re firmly believe. If you do not believe
t drop in and be convinced. You can
ind anything you want and at any price.
;uch an establishment is credit to the
own and will inevitably rebound to the
redit and business OF lola.
We were pleased to make the &C.
uaintance of Mr.. J. Rosenberger, of
laden Rock, Wisconsin, during the
ast week.. Mr.. r. has purchased piece
f railroad land adjoining Mr.. Wisner's
arm on Deer Creek and will start a
ursery during the coming year. He
as been in the nursery business in Wis
onsin for number of years and has es-
reputation all over that
tate. A nursery stock will certainly
ay well and the enterprise will receive
from the start.
1t would seem from the actions of the
ity council that they were afraid to
meet any oftener than possible. No
forum has been present for two or three
7eeks, and of course no official acts we're
one. In the meantime important bus
ness is suffering from pure neglect. The
entlemen should try and meet and at
end to such business as they have started
nd not let it die or 60 over to new
ne-which may not feel inclined to
boulder responsibility belonging to the
resent one. Next Monday evening
