queries in this issue which we hope
will be answered by other correspond

that it is about the time of the year to
open up our Farmers Column" So
those interested will please consider it
opened and ready for business. This
means that practical farmers are cor
daily invited to send in letters, either
of inquiry or suggestion, which will be
published in column set apart for
That purpose. The only require mPnts
are that the letters be brief and to the
point, and signed by the true name of
the writer. Let the Farmers Col.

lola REGISTER is the official paper for
Allen county for another year. In
fact the REGISTER has helped to
make Allen one of the best counties In
the State, and the commissioners
could not do that paper justice without
giving it the county printing. They
also showed that they know sOme-
thing about advertising. The REGIS
TER has the largest circulation Of any
paper in Allen county, and ccnse-
quently is the best advertising medi-
um in the county.
The city council have been seriously
for some time the advisable.
ity of taking s)me steps to provide the
city with protection against fire. The
purchase of cheap but effective en-
gIne has been contemplated and at the
Monday night a committee
WAS appointed 10 60 to Garnett aud
witness test of an engine that is TO
be made there. within. u few days. The
council would certainly be justified
in any reasonable expenditure in this
rs it is poor economy to leave
the town in its present defenseless
condition.
Mr.. w. X. Smith arrived the first of
the week from Mahanoy City, Pa,
and is busily engaged gathering up a
car load of live poultry to ship back
there. He shipped a great deal of
dressed poultry from this county last
year and is trying the other plan now
as an experiment. We trust that the
enterprise will be successful, not only
because Mr.. Smith deserves to succeed
but because his success means a good
market for one of Allen county's very
products. See his adver.
tisement in this issue.
