OF it, out IL IS nevertheless Iact tndt
the city Of lola will elect mayor and
councilmen a week from next Tues
day. Nobody seems particularly
greedy for the offices. At least We
have heard Of no candidates. Step
forward gentlemen. TIE REGISTER
will announce you at the lowest living
rates.
There hasn't been much fuss made
about it, but it is fact that for the
past four weeks lola has been the best
corn market in Allen county or in
Southern Kansas for that matter.
While other towns around lis have
been paying q and SIS cents, I,ia
dealers have been paying 40 cents
right along. The farmers have found
this out, and that ACQUIRES for our
crowded streets and ,dsflng trade.
We trust the lola school will OBJ
serve the suggestion of Supt. Hender-
son as to ArJor Day. Several citizens
have expressed to ms desire to see the
school grounds set with trees and their
wish, to assist. We think the school
board will employ a competent man to
direct operations on that day, and that
all who desire to assist will be welcom-
ed, In the meantime it would be well
if several arbor days were observed by
individual citizens. The indications
are good. Many trees have already
been planted, and many more doubt
less will be; more desirable epideln-
ic could not strike the town.
The canning company are going
right ahead and have about corlpIet cd
their preliminary arrangements.
Ground has been secured just north of
Beck's elevator and work on the build
ing will be begun III about ten days.
The building will be 80 Y 100 feet.
The machinery has been contracted
for and will be shipped rs soon as the
building is ready. The company have
already engaged fruits and vegetables
from different parties, one man having
agreed to plant Is acres in tomatoes
and sweet corn for their consumption.
The company are starting out as
though they meant business and with
anything like a favorable season, the
canning factory will be success from
the start.
lola dealers are always ready to pay,
and do pay, the outside cent at which
any commodity will bear transporta-
lion. For example, they have been
for the last three weeks, paying right
along forty cents a bushel for corn,
while during the same period the av-
erage quotations at Kansas City have
been "A cents, leaving only four cents
for Smelling, handling and freight. We
don't know how they figure it out, but
such is the fact, and it speaks volumes
for their enterprise and liberality.
4 somewhat Indignant remonstrance
comes from one of the musicians of
Moran, touching the little boast of our
Moran correspondent with reference to
Moran talent furnishing music for lola,
aud stating that there was nc such
boastful feeling among the musicians
themselves. We doubt not this feeling
is shared by the other musicians, and
while we thinl, they have right TO be
proud Of heir organization, their mod
esty with regard to it is creditablo.
While rather unflattering to lola, the
fact stated by our corresp ondent is
about true. While reasonably we'll
favored with music OF other kinds, we
sadly need n good orchestra. And it
may he well to say here that We expect
to have it soon. In the mean time We
are fortunate in being able to secure
good orch estra music from our neigh
bcrs.
In another place will ne found a no.
tice of lottery sale by Mr.. B. \. Cas-
mire, of mis- real and personal property.
In working up his Barb wire business,
Bert. has received so much heavier or
ders for goods than he anticipated that
he has determined to put in enough
machinery TO more than double the
capacity of his factory as at first con-
templated. And it is to meet the extra
expense thus incurred that lie has de-
cidsd to dispose of his property in the
manner mentioned. The different
prizes are each well worth the value
put upon them in clear cash. The res
idence especially is one of the most
conveniently arranged and most neat
ly finished house in town. 1t has five
rooms which can all be thrown together
has large tank in the roof with pipes
leading to the kitchen, besides which
there is a cistern at the door, with 4
of 100 barrels. The location
is about the best in town. In short the
place was bought, and the house was
built, for home, not to sell, and cost
every cent Of the valuation put upon it.
1t is q rare chance that will
put it into some mans hands
for a song. OF course the Mon
ey could be raised by mortgaging the
but the owner prefers to
close it all out and go into his new en-
terprise with plenty of money to carry
it forward and free ola ny incum brance
Part of the machinery for the factory |
has already arrived and it will all be |
here as soon as the order can be filled. |
When working to its full capacity, it |
will employ from ten to fifteen men,
