a thousand cheaper. But that mum
Der of statements will last them a
year, and is it worth while to deprive
your home printer Of that much pat
ronage for the sake of saving dollar
i'm year? And then consider these
questions: Does the foreign printer
pay any taxes here in lola: Does he
contribute money to any Of our enter
prises? Does he speak a good word
every week for lola? Does he pay
out wages here that are likely tC
come back to the merchant who pat
ronizes him? The REGISTER pays
close to 800 in taxes every year. II
has money invested in the gas wells
in the marble quarry, In the driving
park, and i'm every other enterprise
| that was ever started to help the
town. 1t pays out on an average
5000 as wages in cash every Satur-
day night. In addition to the work
done in its Office it has paid out sever
al hundred dollars during the past
| two wears for other kinds of labor
1t has never bought anything away
| from lola that it could get here mere
| Iy to save a little money. For all
| these reasons it thinks that it fairly
deserves the patronage of the business
men of lola, and it hopes that the
agents of alien printing offices will
hereafter leave lola empty handed
John Manbeck, of Marmaton town
| ship was i'm town Wednesday. And
we hope he will pardon US if we use
him as an illustration of how the
right kind of a man can get along in
Kansas. We remember very well
when Mr.. Manbeck came here:only II
years ago. He didn't have a thing
then, but q good wife and three child
rem. He bought 100 acres of land for
$500, on time. He has it all paid for
now and improved to such an extent
that he has refused an offer of $4,000
cash for it. With the exception of
one year when he suffered partial
failure, he has raised good crop
every year of the II he has..been here.
This year he raised 1900 bushels of
corn, doing all the work himself. He
has Just finished an extensive addi-
ton to his house, and has go acres of
next springs blowing done. At the
same time he has been doing all this
he has lived well and brought up a
family of nine children. Mr.. Man.
beck never complains any about the
tariff robbiHg him, nor about the vic
ious legislation of the Republican par
ty having made a slave out of him,
and he wouldn't know "per capita
If he should meet it in the road.

With that feeling of comradeship
and hospitality width has always
characterized it, McCOok Post has
started movement to have each
quarterly pension Day" reunion
day for the old soldiers. The idea is
to have the G.. A. r. Hall thrown
open on that day and have hot coffee
and a lunch served free for all pen
sioners and members of the G.. A. r.
This ought to, and doubtless would
bring every every old soldier in Allen
county to lola on pension day, and
would thus furnish an opportunity
for all to get acquainted, and talk
over old times. The REGISTER will
make definite announcement as soon
as the arrangements are all completed.
John Thompson and two young Ia
dies entertained couple of dozeu
people right cleverly at the Opera
House Monday night with farce and
comedy. The old man, who was at
once author, advance agent, business
manager and star, has been on the
road thirty years, he told us. and his
face has that look of settled and hope
less melancholy so often seen on the
faces of men whose business 1t is 10
make people laugh. We are always
sorry for show people.
