it when L caught another that hung

l got through with one bottle my
cough had left me, and have not suf-

Some weeks ago the REGISTER
noted that McCook Post was think
ing of making each quarterly pension
day, a Soldiers Reunion day as well.
The plan has now been perfected, and
we are greatly pleased to announce
that on every pension day of the year,
beginning with May 4, all the old
soldiers in Allen county, and their
families are cordially invited to come
to lola and accept the hospitality Of
McCook Post. They will find the
Post Hall thrown open for their use,
and at noon they will be supplied
with coffee, crackers and whatever
else may be needed to supplement the
basket lunch which they will bring.
Of course it was necessary, in order to
insure the success of this undertaking,
that the Post should have the cooper
alton of the business men of the town,
and this has been given most cordial
ly. The Post hopes, therefore, that
every old soldier, certainly every PEN
sioner, will come to lola next pension
day, make himself at home in the
Post Hall, and spend the day "swap-
ping yarns" with his old comrades.
1t is about the time of year for the
REGISTER to make its regular spring
talk about putting seats in the square.
And this year we have Con. Null to
help US out. He is going to find out
how much an appropriate seat will
cost and then he is going around
town to see how many seats he can
get subscribed" This is the most
practical scheme that has been yet
suggested and we believe it will win.
The seats need not be expensive, and
W q are sure tucIC dIo db lcdcb W lucu
about town who would be willing to
contribute the amount which one
would cost. AS it is now the square
is pretty to look upon. With so or 60
seats it would be used as park ought
to be.
1t not only relieves; it does more, it
cures. We refer to One Minute Cough
cure. Suitable for all ages, all condi-
tions, at all times. Cowan d Ausher-

Charlie Smith, of Elm, who has
been down in Texas for 8 weeks past
with horses, was in town Tuesday,
and has an interesting story to tell Of
what he saw and heard. Times are
harder there, he says, than they are
here, and everybody, particularly
Democrats, is "cussing" the Demo-
cratic administration. He says, too,
that....the white employers "wallop"
their hired negroes just as they used
to do in the good old days "befo' de
