The Iola register., 1891-10-16


Mrs. NJ. p. Jacoby called on her with
out previous notice last Monday eve
ming to extend their congratulations
on another return of her birth day.
They did not forget to bring with
them sufficient supply of fruits and

The subscription list for the purchase
of chairs for the Presbyterian church
has been left at this Office for collec-
ton. The ladies having the matter
in charge are ready to order the chairs
and they would respectfully urge that
all who have subscribed should pay
the amounts promised within ten
days. A sample chair can be seen at
Scott's drugstore.
The Evaporator has already used
5000 bushels of apples this season and
is still running night and day. That
means the distribution of a good deal
of money for product which would
largely have gone to waste but for the
establishment of this enterprise. Mr..
Claiborne says it is his intention to
enlarge the plant next season.
AS a matter of accommodation to
those who have not responded to our
first call, we have decided to extend
the date for the settlement of bills due
us thirty days longer. But this is pos
itively the last call. All accounts
must be settled by Nov. l, 1891.

the other papers of the county are fol-
lowing the good example set by the

true, but that isn't very far-for them.
