At the bond election in Coffey coun-
ty last Tuesday, wherein that county
agrees to subscribe for Sl25,O00 worth
of stock in the Lincoln, Topeka, lola
& Memphis railroad, the proposition
was carried by over three hundred ma
jority. There is no doubt now remain
ing but that the road will be built. AS
to the exact route through any locality
that question is still open. We con-
graduate the management of this road
upon their success so far. No blunder
has been made and every step has
been successful one. bringing them
that much nearer the goal, 1t will be
the best road in the State when finish
ed, and by all odds the most valuable
one touching our county. Work is
being pushed all along the route.

the other forty-nine witness were en-
dorsed on the information. The COM
plant is brought in the name of the

had transpired and there was some
talk of one case at least being settled.
There is general feeling, and it ex-
tends to the leaders of the temperance
element, that these prosecutions
should be pushed-but not until like
cases are brought in Humboldt. 1t is
reported around around town and gen.
orally believed that the parties at

close up and quit, and the question is
why is not the same chance given
at lola.

Last week Mr.. ] F. COlborn closed
out his stock of goods and vacated the
room to Mcclure Bros, who had be-
fore bought the building. What
few goods were left will be closed out
elsewhere. Mr.. Colborn has been for
fourteen years past engaged in the dry
goods business in the same building
and. in closing out. many old time
friends will be at a loss to know just
where to go. We arestrongly inclined
to believe that before the new year is
half out he will again open up il new
building and probably in the same
line.

Probably the handsomest and most
costly Christmas tree ever shown in
lola was that so successfully managed
by the Presbyterian Sunday school
Saturday night last. OF the festival
following it is only necessary to say
that more work had been expended
than is usual ia such cases, and at the
moderate price charged the wonder
is how it could be afforded. AS every
one in town was there, it is useless to
occupy room in giving description of
the beautiful tree or trees, as in reality
there were three, or to applaud old
Santa Claus for his original "poem"
and hits upon local celebrities. While
the beautiful tableau, as the trees
parted, elected the highest praise.
The ladies and gentlemen who SO sue
cessfully managed this entertainment
can rest assured that it has seldom
been equalled and certainly never sur
passed in lola.
