day night was success in every way
The court room was crowded there was
large number of ladies present, and
an excellent ticket was nomina led
Capt. Slower was chosen chairman,
Percy Harris secretary, and the lex
ct which appears at the proper place
in this paper was nominated. The
nomination for mayor is particular
ly good one. Mr.. Mcneil has served
several terms on the council, and is
thoroughly familiar with the city's
business. He has always been
prompt and painstaking in perform
ing any duty assigned him as a mem
Der of the council, and his opinion on
matters concerning the interests of
the town has always had great
weight with other members of the
council. AS mayor he cannot tail to
give the city a clean, honest, wise
and economical administration. The
cOuncilmen are all good men, not on
ly in personal character, but in public
spirit and in sound Judgment. With
Mr.. Mcneil as mayor, and e. Kreu-
ter, VIM Hawkins, Nj. NJ. Hart, J. NJ
Williamson and A. Z. Harris as
councilmen, lola will be assured of
first class management. The nomin-
alton of c. S. Potter as police Judge
completes ticket that deserves the
support, not only of every Republic
can, but of every citizen of lola, of
whatever party. We hope every
qualified voter will cast his or her bal
lot next Monday, for the heavier the
vote the larger will be the majority
of the straight Republican ticket.
Bridge street between 18th, and 18th. is being

Here is a mighty good example for
lola to follow. We can't have all our
streets that way all at once. But we
can begin on one and keep at it until
it is finished and then begin on anoth-
er. And in..the course OF ten years or so
all our streets would be solid. The one
to begin on is West street running to
the s. K. Depot. Whenever there is
a long wet spell that road is mire
from one end to the other. We be-
lieve if all the road fund collected in
the city-except enough to keep the
crossings in repair-were expended !
on one street until that street was
finished, the result would be much |
more satisfactory than to have the
fund scattered all over town with a |
lick here and promise there and |
lasting done anywhere. We |
hope the new Republican city adj
will consider these
things.
1--WE are going to have a great big
fair here at lola next fall. 1t will be
given under the management of the
Allen County Agricultural Society
81, % and %. The Society
held meeting the other day and
elected new officers for the ensuing
year as follows: Pres. A. l.. Taylor;
Vice-Pres. r. b. Stevenson; Sec. c l..
Treas. e. H. DeClute;
Board of Directors, A. J. Fulton, r.
w. Duffy, c. H. DeClute, c. l.. Whit
aker, w. J. Evans, w. A. Cowan, H.
A. Ewing and r. B. Stevenson. A
premium list will be issued soon and
every effort will be made to have
5he fair everything that it ought to
be. lola has rather neglected its OPP
Dortunities in this line heretofore, but
The is going to make up for it this /!
year. Every business man in town
should subscribe for at least one share
# stock, and do everything else in his I
power to make the fair a big bloom
ng success. And we believe every
me will. I
Topeka Capital: The State Histor-
