, a very effective aid in building up tn
town. All the citizens Of lola are es
pecially interested in this work ant
should not fail to be at the Cour
House next Monday night.
In reply to an urgent summons fion
President Arthur, imploring the REG.
lister to send him some good stalwarl
republican upon whose neck he could
fall and weep as he turns his last lin
gering gaze from the flesh pots and lets
down the bars to admit the hungry
and thirsty democracy, the editor OF
this paper has hastened to Washington
to offer his neck for the purpose above
mentioned. Consequently we want
everybody that knows anything to
come and tell us for we haven't time
to go and hunt it up. We want to say
also that we will not be responsible for
anything the said editor may do or say
while he's away from home.
Later: The editor wrote the above
himself before he left, and to tell the
truth it's mighty misleading. The
facts are he went Washington to Sc
cure a cabinet position. He heard that
Cleveland was looking for man for
Secretary of State, who knew less
about craftsmanship than he did. So
our editor thought he might as well
apply. He said that if he came back
without the position it would be be-
cause he knew too much. We think
it's doubtful about him ever coming
back. But for goodness sake! don't
say I told you.
The society people of lola are indebt-
ed to those of Humboldt for the pleas
ATTEST event of the season. Last
Thursday twenty-four couples took the
afternoon train for Humboldt-and
they literally ttook" it too, amidst the
gers, who ventured wild remarks on
the probable cause of such an exodus.
One gentleman was of the opinion
THAT there was screw loose some
where" and another anxiously inquir-
ed, "If it was raid?" A reception
committee, prepared with hacks and
carriages, met the s.crowd" and took
them to the Nickle Plate, where every
thing was done for their pleasure and
until time to assemble at Ger
mania Hall for the ball. About fifty |
couples formed on the floor for the
grand march. The music was very |
good. Humboldt has reason to be
proud of her orchestra and we think |
she is. Al half past eleven supper was
called; the tables accommodated thirty |
couples and did credit i'm general ar
rangement and beauty to the faultless
taste of the genial host of the Nickle
Plate. A few of the more sober and |
elderly couples took the midnight |
rain for home; the rest came on the
freight. Take it altogether
t was an entire success, and lola
heartily thanks Humboldt for the
pleasure.
