that some mistakes should not occur.

One of our contemporaries in solicit
ing advertisements recently urged as a
special inducement that it would send
out an extra large edition of thousand

the REGISTER can hardly remember q
time when it sent out as few as thou
sand copies.
Optimdses!
1t is pretty loudly rumored about
town that two young people, formerly
residents of this place, will soon throw
the chain of wedlock around them and
walk hand in hand down the lane Of
life. We cannot give the names now
~" and an &C."
Slower thinks it comes with very
poor grace from ii. D. Smith to kick
about Nose Neal appointing republic
cans, when Smith himself resigned his
office of Justice of the Peace and
strongly urged the appointment of Mr..
WaggOner, q republican Of the repub-
licans. How is it, Smithy?

Optimates!!
We are sure we answer for all the
boys when we assure the ladies en-.
gagged in that little "surprise party"
in reply to their card of thanks pub
lished elsewhere, that they were very
welcome. The only regret we heard
expressed was that there were not
wives there for all of US! The little
plot was we'll conceived and well exc
cuted and added the crown to the even
ing's enjoyment.
We do not remember time when
the prospect for a prosperous year in
Allen county was any more flattering
than it is now. The winter left the
ground in fine condition, the spring
has been favorable for out door work,
and the farmers have gone about their
business with zeal and energy that
cannot fail of rich results. 1t looks
now that with the gathering of the
crops in the fall, hard times in Allen
county WILDE over. Speed the day.
The meeting Of the Shiloh Associa-
ton which will be held next Wednes-
day evening in Prof. Harris office,
promises to be even more than usually
interesting. There will be large map
of the battle field by the aid of which
those who were there can point out
their respective locations, and it is ex-
pected that q larger number of Shiloh
veterans then have ever met here be-
fore, will be present. There will be
beans of course, and altogether the en-
promised is one that no
one who il entitled to he nresent should
