/ DdiLy Repu6licdn and he read about
every line in it looking for hotel ad.
He wanted to engage rooms. He de-
parted in an i'll humOr. Let us say
/ that some people can advertise profit
ably, and others cannot do it right.
/ But a newspaper is bulletin board, a
directory, and whether a man thinks
he does or does not make anything by
advertising, his name and business
should be in every issue of newspa-
per for reference only if no more. Not
/ a day passes but that some man over
hauls our pile of exchanges and when
/ he finds the paper he wants he scans
| it slowly for some name and address.
/ A paper ought not to go out without
( the name of every business man in
town, and every line of business repre-
! scented.
| Several of the secret societies of the
/ town have adjourned their lodge meet
| ings until the first week in October on
account of the discomfort incident up
on attendance anywhere within doors
| these warm nights. 1t has been sug-
gested that the churches might find it
/ profitable, to both pastor and people,
/ to hold no evening meetings until cool
weather sets in. 1t certainly requires
a great deal of Christian zeal and cour-
age to attend church such evenings as
we have had during the past week and
get any good out of the services.
Mr.. ]. w. Wolf, of Elm township,
has been entirely successful i'm his ex-
periments with Prof. Shows chinch
bug exterminater. The bugs had de-
stroyed field of rye, and gone from
there to his corn, but before they had
got very far in it he spread the infec-
ton among them and they all crawled
| into the grass and died. Mr.. Wolf is
very enthusiastic about it, and thinks
/ it is folly for anybody to lose a crop
by chinch bugs when he can just as
well kill them all off.
Somebody says that one may have
ice water without ice by the following
device: Wrap a jug-a porous jug
one of those common earthenware
things-in flannel-wet flannel-wrap
it ali around, leaving no place exposed
to the air; place it, filled with water,
in an open window. exposed to all the
air there is. Keep the flannel wet; in
an hour the contents of that jug will
be almost as cool as if they had been
iced. This is a tropical trick, which
tricks the tropics.
VIM. Swartman, of Elm township,
is another man who has made COM
plete success of the chinch bug infec-
ton. He got some diseased bugs from
his neighbor, Mr.. Tredway, and
spred the infection among the millions
of live bugs that were making his corn
black, and It worked to a charm, as
not living bug now remains in his
field. Mr.. S. had no faith i'm the rem
edy, but he is now convinced that it
will do everything claimed for it.
Mr.. ii. J.. Rumbel, formerly of Me-
ran, has rented part of the room used
by Allen and Golf, and will engage i'm
the merchant tailoring business. Mr.,
Rumbel has been working at his trade
for seven years and is confident that
he can give satisfaction in fit and
workmanship. He will carry full
line of suitings, and will no doubt
work up a good business.
The "oldest inhabitantr was re-
minded of Iola's younger days We'd
nesday by the appearance of a drove
of Texas ponies driven by a real, live
cowboy, with his buckskin trousers
fringed the whole length of the leg, a
rope slung from his saddlehOrn and q
manifest disposition to bring his pony
to an early grave by worrying 1t to
death with bit and spur.
DIR. Altman, of TT. Scott, and DIR.
Fulton, of lola, were i'm Moran Tues
day i'm consultation over the case of
DIR. J. f. Jewell who has been i'm a
precarious condition on account of an
injury done to one of his feet. We are
glad to learn that the patient is
thought to be now out of danger. DR..
Altman came to lola before returning
home.
Mr.. David Wilson says he has a
letter from friend in Barton county
who tells him that he has just thresh-
ed two fields of wheat, one of which
went 80 and the other 80 bushels to
the acre. The wheat weighed 81
pounds. The newspaper reports of
the enormous crops out in the wheat
belt are evidently not exaggerated. y
