wealth-for the REGISTER.

J. w. Hamm came up to lola just
the day before our big fire, and he
came up again the day Mr.. YOung's
house burned. He has no grudge
against lola and he fears to come
again, so he came in and ordered the
REGISTER so that he could get the
news without coming up here and
running the risk of burning the town
! down.
\ travelling statesmen has been
/ through the country and has sold u
lot of farmers a stove at a cost of $50.
The chances are that the same farm
ers would not have paid one of our
home merchants $40 for the same
stove. 1t is a strange weakness of
human nature that makes some peO-
pie give more heed to the words of a
stranger than to the words of friend
whose truth has been often tried.

siege to their house and taking it hy
storm. They met with little resist

happy one for all concerned.

Bob Ayers, the Alliance candidate
for sheriff of Anderson county who
was beaten by two votes, is going to
contest the election. The vote was
counted by an Alliance Board and the
certificate of election awarded to the
Republican candidate on the advice
of the Alliance county attorney. But
Mr.. Ayers thinks there is mistake
somewhere, and SO he is going to con-
test. AS the probate judge, who APP
points the board to try the case, is
Peoples party man, he may succeed.

This vicinity is overrun with beg
CARS of all descriptions, the most of
whom are stout, healthy looking men,
who could find plenty of work if they |
wanted it, but as begging is far easier |
to person who has lost all manhood !
they would rather beg.-UniOR.
