Although gotten up on short motto
the M. E. social at Mr.. knights las
= Wednesday evening was well attend
ed and quite successful. The first ic

We need not get uneasy becaus

perature of 43 degrees below zero, il
New Hampshire last Saturday.
1t is rumored that the la.
dies of the Library AssOcia.
ton are holding night sessions
this week in the struggle to decide in
what company to insure their books.
A great many queries have been
made as to the exact meaning of the
new liquor law. The reply of the at
torney general will be found in full on
our inside pages by those interested.
The best sign of spring we know of
is to see the farming implements roll
ing into Beck's ware house. He is
getting ON good supply and expects
to sell them at prices to suit the times.
The reason that Anderson & De-
Clute's advertisement does not appear

Mr.. Elias Miller informs us that his
neighbor, Harvey Newell, recently
killed two pigs that weighed respect
lively 546 and 440 pounds, dressed. If|

would have weighed.
Mr.. Blackwell has been spreading
mud" over the walls of the new school
house at a rapid rate for the past two
or three weeks, and expects to have the |
job completed by the end of next week.

work is being done in manner that |
reflects great credit on Mr.. Blackwell.
We don't know what "The Town
Tramp" will have to say, if anything, |
to the criticism of "Home Guardn in |
the COurdnt. 1t occurs to us, however, |
that the criticism was written more to |
vent the writer's malice against either
the tramp" or the publishers of his
letters, than to correct a chronological
error.
Here is brilliant from one of J. H.
Richards jury speeches. He was re-
ferring to the attempt of opposing
counsel to blacken the character of GER
tain witnesses, and he said, GAS well |
might an imp from the shades parade |
the streets of the new Jerusalem and
attempt to criticise the drapery of
heaven ~
Judge Talcott says he is more than
ever convinced of the value of adver-
Using. He inserted short notice in
THE REGISTER last week, for filly
that had strayed away, and even be-
fore the paper went to press, he learned
of the whereabouts of the animal. All
that seemed necessary was to show his
good intent.
Mr.. Favour's scientific lectures at |
the Opera House last Saturday, Mon

magnetic apparatus thoroughly and |
his illustrative experiments were all
highly successful.

The Progressive Euchre party given

1t occurs to us that the old South
ern Kansas depot has about served its
day. 1t was built when there was not
one tenth the business transacted there

tainly be better for all concerned if the
room for handling it were increased
