monotonous salutation as they went by,
his eye dim, his thoughts far with

some familiar face-his memory for
faces was very good-and his eye would
brighten and his whole form grow at
tentive; he would greet the visitor with
O. hearty grasp and a ringing word
and dismiss him with a CHEEKY laugh

Neodeshd Register: Many Repub-
lican papers became ratified last fall
because of the signal defeat of the
party and their editors have, since
then, been "sloshing" around and
preaching all kinds of fool doctrines.
Now, if ever, is the time for every Re-
publican to stand by his colors. In
order that all may know just where
the Register stands we have formu.
lated a declaration of principles which
we have placed under the old flag at
the head of our editorial columns
where they will stand until we be-
come convinced that they are wrong.
The lola REGISTER published about
such declaration of principles some
weeks ago and they were so apt and
to tie point that with some slight
modification and changes in arrange
ment we have adapted them to the
use mentioned. We pray every think
ing, unprejudiced man to read these
principles over carefully. Belief in
thess principles is what makes us a
Republican for as We understand it
they represent what the Republican
party Is striving for.
