The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1889-07-19

Tnor0 are 3 great many ple0San
things to be seen in driving about AL
len county these days. But one of tn
pleasantest, to our view at least, is tn,
numerous fields Of clover and timothy
Time was when it was thought tina
neither of these crops could be grown
In Kansas. And it Is only lately
that people have found out better. Blu
they have found out better and ther,
are thousands of acres sowed to thes,
grasses in Allen County this year
The writer Of this saw more of them
driving up to Usage on the FOURTH
than he ever saw before in all his life
Great fields Of it standing straight ant
tall and thick as it could in any coun
try. A pretty sight. An encouraging
sight too. We have always associated
clover and Timothy with contented
well.to-do, and prosperous farmers
and whether there Is any reason for il
or not we cannot help believing thai
the advent Of these crops In Kansas
means more thorough, systematic and
intelligent farming and that means
better times. We are glad to see the
timothy and clover.
As has already been intimated Mr.,
A. E. Wright has decided to be can.
didate for the office of trustee Of Iols
township, and his announcement ap.
pears In this issue. Mr.. Wright is an
old resident and has 80 large q person.
al acquaintance that he needs no intro
duction at our hands. He is an active
energetic and capable business man
and q thorough-going Republican, and
his nomination and election to the of.
flee he seeks would give the township
an experienced and able officer. The
time for holding the township conven-
ton has not yet been fixed, but when
the nominations are made Mr.. Wright
will be found somewhere in the I'M
mediate neighborhOOd.
The REGISTER wishes 1t distinctly
understood that the space occupied in
this weeks issue by DR.. g. B. McClel.
Ian Is paid for at regular advertising
rates and that the publication of the
advertisement does not imply editorial
endorsement. On general principles
we are slow to believe that a man
should have learned from wandering
Indian arts Of healing that the learn
ing of all the schools has not been able
to discover. On the other hand we
know that the testimonials printed to-
day are genuine because we happened
to be in the Doctors office when he re-
ceived them through the mail. Fur.
ther this deponent saith not.
At the meeting of the Horticultural
Society last Saturday r. s. Moore and
D. b. Smeltzer were appointed COM
mittee to confer with representatives of
the F. NJ. B. A., with the stockmen
and with the lola Board Of Trade, to
make arrangements for holding q
fair here this fall. By notice publish
ed elsewhere it will be seen that these
committees are 10 meet in Mr.. Duffy's
office next Monday, al which time the
date of the fair will be fixed, and all
the preliminary arrangements male.
The REGISTER is glad to note this
prompt action and trusts that the
meeting will be well attended so that
the machinery may be started at once.
II don't see why the farmers don't
make more liberal use Of your For Sale
or Trade column" said farmer the
other day. II have used it several
times" he continued, land it never
failed to bring me what I wanted. /
always look for it the first thing when
I get the paper to see If some of my
neighbors are not advertising some
thing l want" We will simply add
to this that the more the column is
used the better we will like it. None
of our subscribers needs feel that he is
imposing on us in sending in his ad-
vertisement for free insertion In that
column. That Is what it is for.
Union: This week we were asked
if Lewis Hobart was not the Resub-
mission or Opposition candidate for
Probate Judge in 1884? We answer no.
The Resubmission convention was
held Sept. 30th, and without his con-
sent Mr.. Hobart was nominated. On
Get. IL, he published the following
card:
To the uo.ers of Allen County.
Owing to private affairs 1 am compelled to
decline the nomination rendered me for Pro-
bate Judge by the ResubmiesiOn convention
