The lola REGISTER is twenty-four
years old. The only paper in the
thrifty county seat of Allen county, it

envy.
X. C. Gazette: The very smell of

light to transact business with him.
Water keeps bis head cool and his eyes
bright. Good packing house beef
makes his cheeks rosy and his step
elastic. There is no smell of sour mash |

Aler. Butts: A more generous set

the craft is signal for general and
sincere congratulations. The esprit de
corps existing among the journalists OF
Kansas is q matter OF comment even

genuine admiration. 1t is q rule
among the "boys" to stand by each
other, and they never fail to meet their
