up with preliminary discussion OF
law points. As We go to press moth

result can be stated, as the main case
has not yet been reached.
We must again request parties send
ing us stamps on subscription to send
them Of small denominations. Seven
ty.five cents worth of two cent stamps
don't cost any more than the same
sum in ten cent stamps, and they are
much more convenient for US to use.
We hope Mr.. Irwin, of Geneva, and
"An ElectOr" Of LaHarpe, will pardon
US for delaying the publication Of their
letters until next week. On account
of printing the Supreme Court opinion
We are very much crowded, and the
communications referred to will keep.
Jacobs & Claypool, are now fairly
settled in the BrOsier building and
have opened up large stock of grocer
les and Queensware to which they in
vite the attention of the people of lola
and vicinity. Their goods are new and
first class, and at prices to suit the
times.
We publish in full this week the
opinion of the Supreme Court in rem

shown certified copy which we OBJ

Mrs. Simpsons has always been

will remain SO this year as usual. She
has received her fall stock and now of

" 1900 people take his paper and
every business man in town advertises

From the fact that we hear nothing
more of the effort to remove the county
seat we presume it has peen given over
as useless. We thought the common
sense or the people would put quietus
on this movement and we are glad our
confidence has been justified. When
we learn definitely that the attempt
has been abandoned we will have u
few suggestions to offer.
The lola band appears to be even somewhat
partisan in the distribution ofits patronage and
favors. Perhaps the members OF this outfit do
not want any favors from either democratic
paper or patronage from democrats. Democrat.
Perhaps if the Democrat had paid
what it agreed to pay for the support
of the band as regularly and as prompt
" as the REGISTER has, and had done
as much in other ways for the success
of the band az the REGISTER has, it
might not have occasion to complain
of partisanship.
The lecture by Eli Perkins last Sat-
urday night called out an admirable
audience and was, ia the main, highly
satisfactory. Like all humorous lectures
it contained a few ancient and mouldy
chestnuts. But it contained also q
good deal of original wit and was built
up on a basis of good, sound sense, SO
that it was instructive as we'll as en-
tertaining. On the whole, the visit of
Mr.. Land0n will be remembered With
pleasure.
Complaint comes to us from Kincaid
and Moran that the REGISTER does not
reach those places promptly and regu-
larry. We do not understand why
this should be so. The paper is always
published on time and is put in the Of
flee at this place in plenty of time for
the first trains. The postmaster here
assures US that the delay does not Oc-
cur in his office. 1t must be therefore
the fault of the mail agents between
the places. We regret it exceedingly,
but We know of no way to prevent it.
On going to his office Thursday
morning, w. A. COwan found the
handle knocked off of his large safe.
and two holes bored through the door.
The safe had not been opened, however,
as the holes were not driven at the
right places. Gray's butcher shop
had also been broken open, but moth
ing was taken, although the safe was
unlocked and contained considerable
money. Dir. Gray never locks his
safe and this fact probably misled the
cracksters. So far as we have learned
no OF her burglary was attempted. The
visitors were evidently professionals. !
but they made . WateI-hsul this time.
