J. H. Richards shipped some Of his
household goods to Fl. Scott yesterday
preparatory to taking up his residence
there.
Some ofthe parties to whom we have
recently sent state.nente Of account
have promptly responded, thanking
us for having been 20 patient with
them. Others, who have not paid "a
Anything Tor years, get hufiy because
we remind them of It, and order their
paper stopped. There Ii lots Of differ
ence in human nature.
There Is no longer any doubt-if
there ever was any-that lola does
more business than any other town in
the county. In spite Of the fact that
times seem tD be hard, our merchants
report trade fully as good as it has been
any fall for four years back. During
the past month there have been par
ties here from all parts of the county to
trade, many who had never traded
here before, and they went home well
loaded with goods and well satisfied
with their bargains.
In the Dexter (Cowley County, Eye
of Dec. s, q copy Of which has been
handed US, we hOtice an extended Obit-
nary of r. E. Booth, who died at his
residence in Dexter, Nov. Is, 1885. Mr..
Booth was for many years resident
of Allen county, having settled on q
farm about four miles north of lola, in
1853, and was well known to many of
our readers, who will regret to learn of
his death. Some years ago he moved
to Cowley county, where he has since
resided. His last sickness was q long
and painful one. and death was no
doubt a welcome relief.
The Joke seems to be on Marshal
Conley. He thought he had discov-
cred a mad dog last Saturday night,
and made ali haste to xiii him and two
or three other dogs that had been in
his company. When the matter came
to be Investigated it was found that
the dog belonged up in the Horse
Shoe Bend. He had never been in
town till Saturday and his peculiar &C
tions were simply due to excitement
caused by the unaccust0med noise and
confusion. Conley has spent the rest
of the week hiding from the man who
wants pay for $50 coon dog"
When your paper Gays something
that displeases you and you are inclined
to abuse the editor and 20 and ''stOp
the old thing" just sit down and see
if you can't recall q thousand things
the paper has said that pleased you.
Perhaps you may even be able to recall
some favors it has done you. And
when you are turning these things
over In your mind, reflect also that the
it happens to be the REGIS
TER-is not published for you alone,
but for at least 5000 other readers, and
perhaps the item that awakens your
wrath may meet the full approval of
every one of them. When you reach
this point you are q worse man than
we take you for if you don't 60 and pay
for the paper year in advance and
advise all your neighbOrs to do the
same.
The preliminary examination of
Chas. Howard, charged with horse
stealing, resulted as we predicted in his
release, the testimony in his favor be-
ing overwhelming. No one was will
ing to swear positively that he was the
man who took the team, while q gen.
tleman was here from Missouri who
swore that Mr.. Howard worked for him
all through last July and August
the 18th of July being the date at
which the horses were taken-and was
with him every day and night of that
time. There were also q number of de-
positions from parties in Missouri testi-
tying to the whereabouts of Mr.. How
ard during July, and alleging his gen.
eral good character. The vindicatiOn
was complete and every one regrets
that the possession of a similar name
and something of a similarity in per-
sOnal appearance, should have been the
means of subjecting IN innocent man
to annoyance and expense.
1t is a self evident fact that the bet
ter q paper is supported, the better pa
per it will be. There are great many
things that help to make a paper inter-
esting which do not depend upon the
EDITORS brain or energy, but upon the
length of his purse. 1t Is to the in
terest, therefore, of every reader of the
to have it as we'll support
ed as possible. Such being the case,
we would like to ask each of our old
to bestir himself and see
he cannot bring US in at least
one new subscriber within the next 80
days. The result would be to double
our list and while we might not he
able to give you quite twice as good q
paper as you are now getting, we could
assure You that it would be very great
" improved. We will add further
that for every such subscriber-who
pays for year in advance-brought
to US by your influence, we will allow
you twenty-five cents. You are not
10 let your friend have the paper for
81 .25. for the price of the REGIsTER is
Sl.5O year strictly, but you are to |
nave the twenty-five cents for your
,wn trouble and interest in the matter.
There are certainly very few of our
particularly those living |
n the country, who cannot succeed in |
at least one other person
o send US his name. We hope that
III will at least make an effort, and |
an assure you that the benefit will be
mutual.
