Mr.. G. E. Benton. tells US that owing

has been obliged to telegraph his part
ner, A. C.. Scott, to come home as soon
a. possible. Mr.. Scott had hoped as

vent him from doing so.

It may be little bad for the tailors,
but it IL nevertheless true that one
may obtain ready made clothing which
in cut, make and quality of goods may
be fairly compared with tailor made
goods. If proof of this statement is
wanted it may be had by examining
the stock of clothing just received by
L. A. Thrasher. 1t is fresh, fashion,
able, cheap and well made.

We like to see the boys enjoy them
selves. But is it likely to improve the
beauty of our park to have them play
ing ball in it every day? Will the grass
grow better and more evenly for hav-
ing been trampled upon and are the
trees likely to be benefited by being
used as coat racks aud back stops? If
we do not know whether it is
so or not-then let the boys stay by all
means; if not then, by all means. let
them not stay.

Attention is called to the ordinance
ordering an election for city officers
on April 2. No candidates have been
mentioned yet in our hearing, but they
will doubtless be forth coming in due
time. Owing to the strinzency of
the times the REGISTER offers the
use of its columns to aspirants at the
very low rate of S1.00 per announce
ment. This offer is unprecedented and
should meet with a numerous response.

serted her husband. and that they |

There was fair audience at the
church Tuesday night to |
hear Rev, Johnson's lecture, but not
80 large as the excellence Of the lecture |
should have attracted. The address
was full of good sense, sound advice
and valuable suggestions, and, deliv-
cred with Mr.. Johnson's Characteristic |
was listened to with much
interest and pleasure. 1t furnished
another confirmation Of the fact now
recognized, tO-wit: That
when Mr.. Johnson is announced for
an address the public may count on
hearing something that is worth lis
tening to.
