In another place we print notice
from the school board requesting the
citizens to observe Arbor Day by meet
ing at the school house at 2 o'clock p.
m. next Thursday and planting trees
about the school grounds. The idea OF
the board is to fill out the row already
planted outside the fence by replacing
the dead trees, and plant another row
at an equal distance inside the fence.
the.twO rows being so arranged that
given tree in one row will be half way
between two trees in the other row.
We hope our citizens will heartily re-
spond to the request so that the idea
may be fully carried out. No one will
ever regret the time or money expend-
ed in identifying our school grounds.
Every dollar thus spent will odd to the
value of every piece OF property in
town.
Now that the warm days are again
at hand the REGISTER would like to
see steps taken to secure band con-
cert in the park on every pleasant Sat-
urday afternoon during the summer.
It would pay US in numberless ways.
1t would be pleasant for those who
live here, it would give the town a
good name and it would attract many
people from the country. Let it once
be understood through the country
that there would be q free open air con-
cert in lola every Saturday afternoon.
when the weather would permit, and
there would never be any doubt as to
whether or not there would be crowd
in town on that day. We hope the
band boys will consider this, agree on
the terms for which they would be
willing to play and submit PROPOSE
ton to our business men. We believe
that if it is at all reasonable it will be
accepted.
Through an oversight which we very
much regret, an item which should
have appeared as q business local was
allowed to 60 in the paper last week
without the signature of the firm fur
nishing it and thus appeared as editor
ial comment. As "pay local. it
would have been harmless, but as an
editorial note it would appear to cast a
serious reflection on Mr.. Rodman. We
wish to disclaim any such intention.
We have done business with MIR. Rod
man for many years and have always
found him straight forward and relia-
BILE. As advertised in last weeks and
in this weeks issue he is getting in
new goods, at the front door as well as
at the shack door,, but they are only
such staples as are necessary to close
out his stock. He assures us that he
has fully made up his mind to 60 out
of the drygoods business and when he
advertises that he is closing out at cost
he means it.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. has society known
as the "Anti-Pokers." The object of
this society is not as might be supposed,
to discourage the playing Of the game
of cards known as poker. 1t is to dis
courage one from poking his or her
nose into other peoples affairs. 1t is
to discourage gossip and Islander and
spite and envy and backbiting and
siurring and sneering and lying and
villifying. It teaches its members to
