We are assured by those having the
matter in charge that the supper Civ
en- under the auspices of the knights
of Pythias will be the finest that has
ever been attempted in lola.
lola Lodge Knights of Pythias will
go to Colony next Tuesday night
where they will assist the Grand
Chancellor in instituting a new lodge
at that place. The Garnett lodge will
also assist.
1t is particularly desired that those
who do not expect to dance should
take in the social at Odd Fellows Hall
next "Wednesday night, as all the
room possible will be needed at the
Opera House.
Mr.. J. v. Cole has made crayon
portrait of r. B. Stevenson's father

I There is a strong demand for tickets
and invitations to the Knights OF

present. Every one should secure
their tickets at once.
At the meeting of the Board of

IA heavy show storm commenced
falling Tuesday afternoon and kept it

y Jwant the address of William Moore
and his two step sons, one named
Herbon, or something like that, for
merly of Indiana. They came through
Missouri to Boonsville with me in
Nov. 1880. IF they have gone back to
indiana will some one write me, and
I will pay. JOHN T. CANNON, Ok
ford, Kansas,
Mr.. Jas, DeMoss returned from st.
LOUIS last week, where he has been at
tending the st. Louis College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. We pre-
sumo we should hereafter prefix
the title doctor to his name a
we see by the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat that he was one of the twelve sue
cessful candidates upon whom the
the title OF NJ. D. was conferred.
It has been suggested and will p-ob-
ably be arranged that social on the
night of the 18th will be given at the
Odd Fellows Hall under the auspices
of the knights of Pythias. The object
is to divide the crowd during the fore
part of the evening and also provide a
place for those who may not care to GO
to the bali at all. Fine music in abun.
dance will be supplied, we presume,
although the committee has not yet
reported.
Sometime ago an organization was
formed at Parsons to oppose the pro-
hibitory law and amendment. Its
constitution and bylaws were pub
lished in several papers at that time,
but we did not consider that it
amounted to much and SO did not
copy it. It is claimed that this is the
same constitution and bylaws under
which the apti-prohibition league of
Humboldt and lola are working; al
though We do not know it to be fact.
The title of the officers are the same,
however. we publish the whole
thing as it appeared at that time, and
for the present without comment.
At their meeting last Monday the
