The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1883-01-26

Notice Of the dissolution Of the part
nership heretofore existing between J
J. Casmire and Son, is given in an
other place. J. ]. Casmire will con
tinue the business, while b. A. W,
understand, contemplates starting {
barbed wire factory here. We viii
probably be able to give something
more definite next week.
The course of meetings begun at the
Presbyterian church two weeks age
have been continued through the
week, and have been well attended.
Mr.. Miller has been kindly assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Chamberlin, of Humboldt
and Rev. VIM. Coleman, of Garnett
The latter gentleman will conduct the
services this evening.
A legally disposed young lady re-
marked that our lawyer item last week
was sadly incomplete without a few
"aforesaids," "to-wits," etc. thrown in
here and there. For her edification,
and the entertainment of others we
will give a copy Of an answer to pc
tition, filed in the District Clerk g
office, by one of Iola's prominent at
torneys. We quote literally: "And
now comes the above named, afOre-
said and before mentioned, as afore-
said, defendant, wrongfully accused
and complained of in the above named
before mentioned, as aforesaid plain
tiff7s said petition herein, and denies,
negates, disputes, controverts and
fatty oontradicts and condemns the
allegations, affirmations, averments,
and accusations therein set forth, pro-
claimed, promulgated, propagated,
and projected, except what he, the
aforesaid defendant, s. hereinafter,
if at all, admits" Are the ear-marks
Sufficiently plain?
Captain Slower represented McCook
Post No. 81, at the grand encampment
&. A. R., at Wyandotte yesterday.
The post was entitled to three dele
gates, but the other two that were
appointed found it impossible to leave
town. We understand that the most
important business that was to come
before the encampment was the fixing
upon place to hold the next annual
reunion. Major-general Pope has eN-
tended them an invitation to come
to Fort Leavenworth, offering to fur
nish good camping facilities, with full
rations and cooks to prepare them.
On the other hand strenuous efforts
will be made by those interest
ed in Topeka to have the reunion
again made side show to the State
fair this year rs 1t was last. 1t is the
general sentiment of all the members
with whom we have spoken that one
experience of that kind is enough, and
the entire influence of the delegate
from this place will be used in favor of
accepting General Pope's invitation.
aye local" is poor man, who has
to earn his daily bread by the sweat of
his manly brow. SO it was not till half
past eleven last Thursday night
after the last REGISTER had found its
way through the press-that he found
himself at liberty to report ut Prof.
Tappan's "Pbantom party" The
phantom part Of it had been laid
aside by that time, and the figures
that met his gaze were very evidently
of honest flesh and blood. Very hap
Ply and reasonably handsome flesh and
blood, too, that seemed to be enjoying
itself to the fullest extent. There were
probably twenty-five couples present,
most of whom were natives, with one
or two couples whose names we failed
to learn, from foreign parts. Supper
was served at the Leland, of which,
since we did not partake, we cannot
speak. 1--WE wish to remark paren-
thetically that it is always better to in
vite the local editor to supper and
such things. or course he would scorn
a bride, but he always feels in better
humor after little courtesies like that,
and his words are softer and come
easier.) Where did We leave off:
At the supper table? No, We didn't
get there at all. And come to think
of it, we didn't "get there" to any
extent either in some of the
new dances we were inveigled into !
trying, 20 we left.
Nothing promises better for the con-
tinued prosperity and growth of our
town, than the confidence shown in it |
by our business men in erecting sub
stantial and elegant homes here.
When men of careful business judg-
ment are willing to invest their sur
plus capital in permanent homes, it is
a pretty fair sign that the town and
country are in flourish
ing condition. lola is already well ia
vored in this line, but the opening of
spring will no doubt show still greater
Among other contem-
plated buildings will be the erection of
a fine residence by Mr.. w. HI. Rich
ards. The building is to be of the
Queen Anne style of architecture, two
and half stories in height, with
basement, with general dimensions,
sixty feet by forty-fiye feet. Plans and
are already in the hands
