In another place We print dispatch
to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Find.
ley, Ohio, referring to the gas wells at
the latter place, to which we call the
special attention Of our business men.
There are ninety.nine chances out of
one hundred that Whist has been done

A largenuusber Of the friends of Mr..
and Mp6 BIB. Stevenson called upon
notwithstanding to help them celebrate
their fifth wedding anniversary. AS
the festivities are in progress while our
paper is being run off, further report
must be postponed until next week.
This, by the way, is the wedding"
referred to last week.
| Owing to the prevalence of severe
colds among those taking part, and to
sickness in the families of others, it
has been thought best to postpone re-
hersals for the cantata of Esther, for a
short time. The performance of the
cantata will not take place therefore as
early as was expected, but will prObab-
ly be delayed to sometime in April.
We hope the gentlemen having in
hand the project of forming company
to bore for gas will not let the matter
drop. There will never be Il better
time to carry it through than right
now, and there will never be time
when the success of the scheme would
be of more value to our town. There
is money in it, not only for those who
do the work but for the whole town.
Don't let it drop.
Leroy Runyan came up Wednesday
to apologize for getting married-(can't
you wait till We finish the sentence ~
without giving us previous notice. AS
the apology was accompanied by al
bountiful supply of cake, the boys in
the office voted to accept the one for
the sake of getting the other, so every
thing is again serene, and ''Bonny
Benz has our full permission to get
married as often as he wants to.
By glancing over the court docket, |
published this week, it will be seen
that there are nearly fifty League cases.
Need any .,other argument be used to
show the absolute necessity to this
county of having this land question
settled? There used to be a great deal
of bowling from certain quarters about
the expense Of enforcing the prohibitory
law. That expense was not drop in
the bucket compared with the amount
of money the land dispute has cost this
county.
We have made it practice to pay
no attention to street talk referring to
US personally; but as great many
people appear to have doubts as to
"who really wrote' certain articles
that have appeared in the REGISTER
from time to time, we feel it due our
selves as well as due any other unfor-
tunate who might otherwise be unjust
ly accused, to say that everything
which appears in this paper without
signature or other credit, is written by
the editor.
There has been quite boom in the
business during the past
week, hcedces having been issued to
the following parties: Jacob Riggs

A. Keneaster, Coffey county, and
Edith NJ. Funk, Douglass county; Chas.
W. Leek and Ada Bell Purdom, Bour-
bon county; Milford Lambdin. Mont
gomery comfy, and Phoebe Condra
Allen county; Elmer w. Boulson, An
derson county, and Phoebe A Dengler,
Allen comfy.
The Lnter-Stdte thinks it was ter
rible outrage that Willoughby and his
two friends should have been driven
out of "their house, with such violence
by the Boekens. If that is so why
don't they have the Boekens arrested?
They are not hiding out anywhere. It
would be easy for an officer to find
them. Or why do not Willoughby and
mis- friend come forth and let them
selves be vindicated by the law in
stead of skulking around and hiding
rom the officers?
When Parsons girl wants her beau I

The columns of a newspaper are its |
