Miss l.. "A. Mints, who has been

G. A. r.. College at Oberlln, requests
the REGISTER to tender her sincere
| thanks to the citizens of lola for their
liberal response to her solicitations.

According to Mr.. A. l.. Dibble's
thermometer the average tempera-
ture at I a. m. during the month of
December 1890 was 2s.1 degrees, while
that of the same month i'm 1889 was
.12,-which will surprise a good
many people. The mercury only
reached zero twice last winter, once
i'm January and OH the last day of
February. Thus far this winter the
lowest point reached has been II de-
grees below zero.
The citizens of lola are insured a
grand treat on Monday next by the
appearance here of the Grace Hezlep
Company in the world famous drama,
Little Lord Fauutleroy, the piece is
from the pen of the gifted Frances
HodgsOn Burnett and as rendered by
this company is masterpiece of art.
Little Winnie Rogers i'm the role of
the little lord is said to be superior
child actress, and with Miss Hezlep
as Mrs. Errol and Chas. King as the
gouty old earl, supported by a strong
company we feel assured our citizens
will be highly entertained.
Mr.. J. n. Thompson, the Marmaton
Poland China hog breeder, sends us a
clipping from the Southern Farm, in
which the statement is made that the
ba1k of the wild cherry tree boiled to
a strong liquid decoction with meal or
any food that the hog will eat, is a
sure cure for hog cholera. If the ami
NAL is too sick to eat the directions are
to give him drench of half pint or
q pint of the decoction. Mr.. ThOmp-
son says that the carcases of hogs dy-
ing from cholera should be burned or
buried as the infection is carried by
dogs and crows.
One reason why Humboldt may
have bigger reputation abroad than
lola has-which we do not believe it
hats because they are such awful
liars down there. a new Kansas
book has just been published giving a
write-up of the different towns. The
editor of this paper was asked to fur
nish the description of lola and he
mentioned among other things that
the population was 1866, az shown by
the L. s. census. The mar who
wrote up Humboldt placed the popu-
lation of that town at 2IOO!! We don't
know who the man was, but we hope
when he dies he will leave us his gall.
We stop the press to remark that
the REGISTER goes nearly everywhere
and creates u good impression of lola
wherever it goes. On another page
will be found communication called
out by copy of this paper which
wandered away down to the Cape Cod
coast, and we are just in receipt Of
another letter dated at WOOdstown,
y. j., i'm which the writer prefaces
his inquiry for information about
Kansas with the remark, ~ saw a
copy of the lola REGISTER and from
its columns I came to the conclusion
that lola must be thriving town."

The many Allen county friends of
w. w. Curdy formerly of Humboldt,
now of Topeka, will regret to learn
that he has been compelled to make
an assignment of his stock of dry
goods for the benefit of his creditors,
Slow trade and the impOssibility of
making collections are given as the
cause of the failure. The assets are
