Last Friday, the lola Silver COrne

and visited the fair and our band here

hope they feel repaid for the effort o
coming. 1t is fine band, and our boy
will pay them return visit at an ear
ly day.-Neosho Falls Republican.
Two or three families bent on having
q good time went up the river last Fri
day and camped out over night, re
turning the next day. They reported
a highly enjoyable time, but we hav'
kind of an idea that their enthusiasm
is assumed to get somebody else to try
the same thing and get bit-by mos
quitoes, beetles and other wild beasts

The last of the very interesting ser
les of letters kindly furnished us by
Mr.. C. M. Simpson will be found in
this issue, and we take this occasion to
express the obligations of Ourself and
our readers to the writer. Mr.. Simp-
son takes in the salient points of what
he sees with the true instinct of the
newspaper writer and conveys them
to the readers with a clearness that
makes his letters most pleasant read
ing.
We are glad 70 learn from the Medi-
cine Lodge Cresset, that our old friend
X. b. Whitaker has been nominated
by the republicans of Barber county
as their candidate for county attorney.
If they follow up the good work now
by electing him, as we presume of
course they will, they will have done
themselves proud, for Whitaker will
be credit to their party. He will do
his whole duty ably, courteously, and
without fear.
The county convention met at the
Court House Monday pursuant to call

Even Henry George, who furnished
most of the ammunition for friend Sny-
der's attack upon the republican par
ty, and who deluded him into cOmpar-
ing the American farmer and labor
with the "serfs of England" admits
that "the general fact is that the wages
in the United States are higher that in
Great Britain, and the condition of the.
working classes rs whole Is better"
Mr.. Snyder should not better his teach
ing. He should not out-Herod Herod.
Our correspondents must have patti
ence with us If their communications
do not appear the same week they are
sent us. We have received commune
cations enough this week-aside from
our regular news letters from county
occupy every line
of our local space if all of them were
printed exactly as written. We are
glad the REGISTER is SO popular q me-
dunn for the exchange of opinions but
we must have room for some local
news. Most of the articles We have re-
ceived will appear in due time.
