as ours PROBABLY did not to him. HA
it come to such pass in these days O
reform that republican can't do busi
ness with a democrat, because he hap
pens to be postmaster? While the II,
ter-Stdte and Herald are discussing
this question we will just remark thai
anyone in MarmatOn township who
wishes the REGISTER but has not time
to come to lola, may receive it by
making his wishes known and deposit
ing his money at the Moran postOffice.
Much to our surprise we find that
some of our readers are under the I'M
preston that the "REGIsTER PRIMER
| Of last week was intended to have per-
sonal application, and we understand
that there has been considerable dis
cussion as to exactly what "NIan and
his Wife" were meant. We can assure
all interested that we had reference to
no particular man and his wife. We
certainly know of no married pair in
lola who have been slandered and mis-
understood as were the "Man and mis-
Wife" in our primer. The whole sto-
ry was intended to have only a gener-
al application, ard if there was any
particular lesson in it, it was contain
ed in the last sentence but one: "When
you are older you will learn that there
are lots of People who cannot bear to
have Others noticed more than they
are; who try to lift Themselves up by
pulling Some one else down; who think
others are Proud and Conceited because
if they were in their place, they would
be Proud and COnceited."
By the mouth of Common Rumor.
sUmes editorial control of the C01ra1t
this week and that hencetSfth that
sheet will be run in the ipterest0f the
democratic party. While this move is
somewhat Of surprise. We are free to
say that we consider it best for all con-
cerned. Not that We love Allison &
Ingersoll lessor Gordon more, but be-
cause it is more in accord with the
eternal fitness of things that there
should be one democratic and one re-
publican paper in the town, rather
than tworepublican papers Coming
just at this time the change Is of special
advantage as it will doubtless save the
town the affiiction of third paper. We
have always maintained that straight
democratic paper, decently managed,
would succeed in lola and we hope to
see the Courant justify our opinion I'M
der its new management. Mr.. Cor
don has lived in Allen county since
boyhOod and has very wide acquain-
lance which will now stand him in
good stead. He has never had any
in the newspaper business,
but he has been a constant and careful
reader of the REGISTER and the good
example thus set before him will
doubtless be of great advantage |
LEST there might be those who consid- |
er that in that last statement the |
REGISTER unduly vaunteth itself, We
hasten to explain in the words of A.
Ward that it is goak.) Mr.. Ingersoll
rem aims connected with the paper, but |
in a business capacity solely, and he
wishes it distinctly understood that he
is still republican.
In another place We print the Con-
situations and BY Laws and the pro-
gram for the next meeting of the "Car.
lyle Township Farmers Club" This |
IS an organization which has recently |
been formed among the farmers Of
Carlyle township and from which we
expect much good to result. One rea-
son why so many farmers fail is be
cause they have no pride in their Occu-
patton. They do not regard it as other
men regard their trades or profession. |
They do not seem to think that there |
g any thing new to be learned about i.
Or that one man may be more skilful
han another. They merely drudge |
along year after year in the same old
way and at the end Of their lives are no
arther advanced than they were TWEEN
y or fifty years before. The design Of
'uch an organization as this Carlyle
Club is to change these ideas. 1t is to
show its members that it pays to use
brains in farming as well as in any 9TH
r business; that some ways Of doing
hings are better than others. 1t Is
o give each of its members the benefit
# the experience and advice Of all the
,thers. In short when one considers
he advantage such a club will be to
Is members, one wonder that similar
mes do not already exist all over the
county. And now that Carlyle has
et the example it certainly ought to
,e followed until every farmer in the
county belongs to farmers club. 1t
will be of immense advantage, not only
n teaching its members the best meth
Ids for raising crops but it will, or
night to, help them to dispose of those
rops to the best advantage, as well as .
o purchase their supplies at the lowest
ates. THE REGISTER will gladly give ,
lotice of the organization of any other
lubs, and assist in any way it can in
heir organization and successful main ,
enance. The following are the officers ;

Y LongshOre: Vice president, Prairie
