What ails J. F. Wright, of Carlyle
His face is all aglow with smiles. He
steps as high as blind horse, and bis
eyes are dilated to twice their usual
size. And all because two little re-
publicans came to live with him a
week ago last Wednesday.
We regret to chronicle the death
on the 9th inst, at his residence near
Elizabeth town, of Mr.. Thomas ]. Day.
Mr.. Day was one of the first settlers
in that neighborhnod and much res
pected either whose death will be re-
GREETED. He leaves widow and ten
children.
The large oil painting by r. T..
Lauck, now on exhibition at Goodhue
& Evans drug store, is attracting a
great deal of attention and very favor
able comment. 1t certainly gives evil
dence of unusual talent and of almost
infinite patience, being so smoothly
done that not stroke of brush can
be seen anywhere.
It's been rather dull here for a year
past, to tell the truth about the mat
ter. We have had but just one circus,
only two or three snide shows, no MUIR
ders and no weddings to speak of.
The last chance we will have to get
any fun out of the sad old year is TO go
to the G. A. r. Fair every night.
The billiard saloon is to move into the
building on the west side, recently va
Gated by Frank Wheeler. We under
stand that it leaves its present location
because ''blind tiger" has been es-
tablished right across the hall from it.
Wonder if it doesn't come within the
duties of some of our officers to inves-
tigate that blind tiger.
We wish some of our energetic read
ers in Salem and Cottage Grove town.
ships would utilize these winter days
when he can do nothing at home, by
his neighborhood for The
REGISTER. A few days spent in that
way would largely increase the circu-
lation of our paper, and we would see
that it was not unprofitably spent by
any one who may choose to undertake
it.
We neglected to mention w. H. Nc
Clure's new departure last week. He
has taken a position in J. WIS. dry
goods and clothing establishment
where his many friends will be hearth
ly welcomed. They do say that he
forgets himself and asks
customer who has ordered calico what |
section, town and range he wants, and
he wants to pay "half or al"
but he will gradually get over this.
On account of the cold wave Tues
lay night the temperance meeting at |
the Christian church was SHINY at !
tended and the addresses that had |
been announced wer9 postponed. The |
meeting was very much entertained |
however, by remarks from Revs. Rob-
ertson of Ottawa, and EbertS of Iowa,
friends of Rev. Martin, who happened |
70 be present. After giving these gen.
.lemen a vote of thanks, the meeting
adjourned.
The Fair committee desire us to say
hat while no personal solicitations for
donations will be made this year, yet
my that may be voluntarily offered |
will be gladly accepted and all the
more highly appreciated. Persons
Wishing to donate any thing may
cave it with w. H. Mcclure at Nc
Cures store. The following donations
lave already been made: Robt. Cook
md ]. E. Thorpe each one pedigree
zig; David Worst one ton of coal.
Now is the time. to get.up.clubs for
THE REGISTER. Remember that any
me who secures us five cash subscrib-
rs for one year, will be given the pa
Yer for year free. For three new
ash subscribers we will send THE
REGISTER free for six months, while
my one securing Us but one new SUBJ
criber will have his own subscription
.dvanced two months. Go to work at |
nee so the subscriptions may begin
With the new year.
Judging from the fact that we failed
o sell half dozen extra copies of the
ssue containing list of the improve
rents made in our town during the
;ear, it would seem that our own citi-
ems didn't consider the exhibit of
much worth or interest. We notice,
lowever, that a great many of the
tate papers, such as the Atchison
Champion and others, are remarking |
With favorable comment that lola
las spent $4,000 in buildings and inn
this year"
Every indication goes to show that |
he G. A. r. Fair will be as great a |
success this year as it was last. One |
marked improvement will be the Sc

farces, ETC., that Will be Civ

Extra admission will be charged on ac-
count of these, the price remaining ten
cents each evening, except the even

Years night, when it will be % cents.
Let everybody be there every evening.
