Col. The calf was seven months old

From the challenge published in an
other place, it is evident that the Lii
brary ladies have plucked up no small
amount of courage in the spelling way
since their recent victory at the Pink
T. We hope the 26 gentlemen will
not be backward in coming forward.

Oughly good shape for the winters en-

The democratic central committee
met in lola Monday and accepted the
resignation of Nimrod Hawkins as can
didate for county commissioner, NAM
ing J. H. Runyan, of Elm township to
take his place. Mr.. Runyan is a well
known citizen of Elm, and is probably
as strong candidate as the democrats
could have named.

We are very sorry to learn of the
death, on the 10th inst, of Mr.. Ii. H.
Dayton of Humboldt. If Mr.. Dayton
had an enemy in the county, or i'm the
world, we never heard of him. He
was a gentleman in every sense, a
man Of high impulses and of un-
questioned integrity. Humboldt has
lost one of her most public spirited and
one of her most beloved citizens, and it
is to her credit that on the day Of the
funeral every business house in the
town was closed and draped.
Mr.. VIM. F. Lockwood, who has
been working for Mr.. Mcdonald, seven
or eight miles northeast of lola, met
with quite severe accident last Mon
day. While unhitching span of
mules, the team became frightened
and ran away, throwing Mr.. Lockwood
down and dragging the wagon over
him in such a way as to dislocate his
shoulder. The man did not think he
was seriously hurt until the next day
when he walked to town and had Drs.
TOzer and Chastain reduce the disloca-
ton.
AS suggested in THE REGISTER last
week, the Library directors have de-
cided to have a course of lectures dur
ing the winter, and with that end in
view have opened correspondence with
a number of noted lecturers. The first
lecture will probably he given by No
BILE Prentis, of the AtchisOn Champion,
who has been invited to come sometime
in November. We are glad the ladies
have undertaken this matter, and earn.
estly hope they will meet with the en-
enlargement their unselfish efforts de-
serve.
On last Saturday evening Mr.. J. D.
Greason was relieved OF his pocket
book containing about SIG in checks
and drafts and cash. No trace of it
was found until Monday afternoon
when a fireman on freight train
brought it to him, having found it in
the weeds near the track about half a
mile this side of Piqua. Strangely
enough the checks, drafts and some
silver change had not been touched,
about S31 in bills being all that was
taken. The thief was evidently in a
