ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

In a recent number of the State
Zeitung, a German paper, lately start
ed at Fort Scott, we find column let
ter from an lola correspondent, giving
the following complimentary notice Of
our town: "One of the prettiest towns
on the line of the st. Louis, Fort Scott
Il Wichita road, is lola in Allen coun.
ty. 1t lies Al miles west of Fort Scott
on the above named road, and Is also
touched by the Southern Kansas. II
has already near 1900 Inhabitants and
has always enjoyed steady business
growth" The letter also gives com.
pllmentary notices of all our German
business men.
The Methodist Sunday School had q
regular "pic-nic" at their church New
Years day. The children were fur
nished with candies, nuts, cakes, ETC.,
and had a general good time. When
the school was called to order for the
election of its officers for the coming
year, a handsome lounge was quietly
brought from one of the ante-rOOms to
the front of the church, and Mr.. JacO-
by, in neat speech, presented it to
the superintendent, Mr.. J. E. Hender-
son, with the compliments of the Sun
day school and a number of other citi-
zens. Mr.. Henderson was taken COM
pletely by surprise and could only say
"Thank you." On the same day Mrs.
Root was presented with handsome
glass water set by her class and Miss
Heiser was presented with pair of
vases by her class. The same officers
that served during 1885 were reelected
and the school adjourned, having
thoroughly enjoyed their New Years
day.
The case of the State We. J. w.
Browning was called last Wednesday,
and continued until the next term of
court on the representation of the de-
PENDANT that he was not ready for trial.
The principal reasons for asking con-
tinuance are the following: "Imme-
diately after my arrest l had letters
written to my father and brother in
the State of Mississippi, but as l had
not heard from them for several years
the letters were delayed, as there had
been change in their post Office. At
ter some weeks delay / learned from
postmaster that my father had been
dead three years. Afterwards heard
from my brother stating that if could
satisfy him that was really his BROTH
er. whom he had not heard from
for many years, he would assist me in
my defense. And further, 1 have no
money with which to employ attor-
neys to prepare my defense or to look
after and collect my evidence, that I
may have fair and impartial trial,
which is all ask" He then describes
the scene that occurred between Earl
and himself at the depot, with which
the readers of the REGISTER are al
ready familiar, and states that one of
the witnesses, upon whom he relies
for material testimony, cannot now be
found. He thinks though, that he
will be ready for trial at the next term
of court. He was brought down from
Ottawa about two weeks ago and is
now in Jail here.

HIGH SCHOOL J0TTINGs.

Interest in the school work does no
seem to have abated during the holi
days, although the cold weather ha!
somewhat lessened the attendance Thu
week.
Prof. Olin and Miss Davis spent the
vacation in Lawrence.
We hope the new books required fol
the second term, will be procured ir
time by the dealers, so that the usual
delay may be prevented.
The semi-annual examination will
commence next Tuesday and continue
during the whole week. The 10th
grade questions are sent to the State
University for approval.
We are glad to see that Miss Ella
McNutt is able to resume her school
duties.
A portion of the funds from
the school entertainment has been
spent in subscriptions for several lead
ing magazines and papers. The schol-
ars will be at liberty to use these when
not engaged in regular school work,
and will also be allowed to take them
to their houses for o short time on GER
tain conditions.
Miss Eva Ausherman, who attended

LET US ADVERTISE.

All the signs agree in pointing to ,
heavy immigration into Kansas mex
spring. While crops in cur own imme
date neighborhood were lighter thar
usual, owing to the heavy rains in til,
spring, yet the crop of the state as g
whole was very large. The noise of thi.
of course reached the eastern states and
will have its effect. The fact tha
scores of new railroads are projected al
over the state will also have its effect
in drawing immigration. These two
Influences added to the natural tend
ency Of those who find themselves
crowded in the eastern states to 'go tc
Kansas" will undoubtedly bring thous.
ands of people here as soon as spring
opens. This fact is recognized all over
the state and we notice that a number OF
towns are preparing to profit by it, by
forming associations for the purpose OF
advertising their advantages in differ.
ent localities in the cast. Why cannot
lola do the same thing? There can be
little doubt that with the inducements
we can offer for the Investment of cap
ital in variety.of enterprises, suffi-
GENTLY good showing could be made to
attract a great deal of attention. The
location of our town, at the crossing of
two lines of railway giving an outlet in
four different directions, makes it a
good point for wholesale trade of any
kind; We could furnish buildings for a
creamery, starch and canning factory,
foundry, machine shops and kindred
enterprises, and We could offer farmers
as good land at as reasonable prices,
proximity to markets considered. as
any part of the state. 1t would take
very little money to advertise these
advantages and we believe it would
bring us large return. Ifa town or
country is to grow and flourish. it has to
be pushed like every thing else. No
man ever made a fortune by waiting
for the fortune to come to him, and no
town ever grew into city by folding
its hands and going to sleep. If We
are to catch any of the fishes that come
in with the stream that will set to-
ward Kansas next spring, we must
have our drag net out.
And now is the time to begin work.
For the next month or two business
will naturally be a little slack, and
business men will have time to attend
the necessary meetings. Let US have
one meeting soon, at any rate, and talk
the matter over,

As The REGISTER will remain un.
der the same editorial management az
during the past three years, the above
notice calls for no remarks concerning
the future conduct of the paper. In
assuming exclusive control, however,
the present editor wishes to acknowl-
edge his appreciation of the handsome
treatment THE REGISTER has received
from the people in all parts of the coun-
ty It's circulation is no longer limited
to lola and vicinity, but extends to
every neighborhood in the county,
reaching nearly four hundred more
homes than it did three years ago.
Coming as 1T has. of its own accord
with no special effort in the way O.
canvassing on the part of the publish.
ers, this increase is very gratifying and
shows that the course of The REGISTER
in working for what it considered the
best interests of the whole county, has
not been unappreciated. While not
gwen to extravagant pledges, We yet
feel safe in assuring our readers and
patrons generally, that continuance
of their generous patronage will not
leave them without their reward.
