pie asing, although not exceptional
musicians, and their audience was
well entertained. 1t is not too much
to say, however, that the two mum.
bers on the program the most enjoyed
were the piano solo by Miss Richards
and the reading by Miss WEIGH. The
audience testified its appreciation and
its pride by giving both young ladies
a hearty recall.
The commissioners went up to
Deer Creek Monday to look after the
work on the stone bride which is
being built at the Wise crossing.
The work is progressing rather slow
1y, and it will probably be a month
yet before the bridge is ready for
travel. But when il Is once finished
it is there to stay, and the money
that it cost is all left i'm the county.
The Commissioners visited the poor
farm also and found it in excellent
condition. with a fine show for crops.
There are only four paupers there.

Mr.. Thomas Bate. editor of the
Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has
found what he believes to be the best
remedy i'm existence for the f1ux. His
experience is well worth remembering
He says: "Last summer l had a
very severe attack of flux. / tried
almost every known remedy none
giving relief. Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy was
recommended to me. 1 purchased
bottle and received almost immediate
relief. 1 continued TO use the medi-
cine and was entirely cured. L take
pleasure i'm recommending this remedy
to any person suffering with such
disease, as i'm my opinion it is the
best medicine i'm existence" % and

Parson Peterkin: And so, Old Man,
it was you, and not the boys, who
needed to be warned against the "sure
thing" games at the circus! The
boys read what said and kept away,
but you went up and bit and got
caught! You knew it was skin
game. but you thought you could beat
it,, You thought you would be the
skinner and not the skinnee. o, you
are so smart! You thought you knew
exactly where that little pea was.
You thought you knew better than
the man who put it there. You
thought he was going around the
country gathering money from suck
ers for the benefit of smart men like
you. You thought he was an limo
cent Abroad, and you would just
show him how easy a Man Who
Knows 1t All could "do" him. You
would just show him that you were
not as big fool as you looked. And
you did it, didn't you! Did it to the
Queens taste-and anywhere from
$40 to $50 worth! And the worst of it
is Old Man, nobody sympathizes with
you. You were trying to beat him
just as hard as he was trying to beat
you. If you had got his money you
would have thought it was pretty
tough if he had called up the police
and pleaded the baby act and said
you robbed him and made you dis
gorge. That is the way everybody
looks at it and so instead of sympa-
thizing with you they just give you
the "horse laugh" It's pretty tough
1 know. But when you get over hurt
ing you will feel that way yourself.
The letters from our county CORES
pondents will be found on the last
page of this issue, and we expect to
continue to print them there hereaf-
ter. The "AU Over the County" de-
partment of the REGISTER has grown
so that it now includes reports from
nearly every neighborhOOd in the
county, and we have found it
necessary to give it whole page, or
so much thereof as may be necessary.
We believe our country readers espec-
tally will approve this change, be-
cause it enables us TO print the letters
of our correspondents in full, and also
to set the different items in para
graphs which makes easier reading.
This change also leaves more room on
the fourth page for local news and
will give us an opportunity to mater
tally strengthen that feature of the
paper. OF course this means more
type setting and therefore greater ex-
pense, but we trust that it will also
mean greater appreciation on the part
of our patrons and therefore greater
returns to our exchequer. 1t will be
noticed that another change is made
also this week, and that is in attach
ing to each news letter the name of
the writer. Our correspondents have
consented to this at our earnest solicit
tation, and we made the request be-
lieving that it would materially assist
them in gathering the news to have
their identity known. 1t adds great
ly to the interest of every reader of
the REGISTER in any given neighbor-
hood to have the news of his neigh
borhood fully reported. We would
especially request therefore that our
country patrons co operate with the
reporter for their neighborhoOd to the
end that the news may all find its
way into these columns. Any assis-
lance that may be rendered will be
| cordially annreciated not only by the
