The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1894-12-28

1 OlllcO Is SOMEWHAT D6QluQ I0lS week,
and we have not time to set up q de-
tailed account of the holiday doings
at the Opera House. The attendance
has not been large, owing to the
stormy weather. but the programs
have been entertaining.
MARRIED: At the Presbyterian
church in lola at one o'clock p. m.
Dec. 24th., Rev. Z. n. B. Willard and
Miss Carrie Strong, both of Moran,
Rev. Squier officiating. The groom
is pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Moran, and is scholarly and able
man. The bride is well and favor
ably known as teacher in our pub
lie schools. The REGISTER extends
the best wishes of many lola friends.
The officers of the Commercial Club
have prepared a brief statement OF
the resources aud advantages of lola
in form to be printed on the back of
envelopes, and they earnestly recon-
mend that ali the business men in
town have this matter printed on the
envelopes which they use in their
business correspondence, as a means
for advertising our town. Tine REG
IsTER will do the printing for 10 cents
hundred.
Fetch Willoughby, of Moran, was
in town Saturday exhibiting a hair
less mare which is owned in Marina
ton township. The mare was sired
by a Clydesdale and had the usual
coat of hair until about a year ago
when she began shedding and kept it
up until now she has not so much as
an eyewinker to her name. The skin
seems to be in good condition and the
animal is fat and in perfect health.
1t is real curiosity.
lola has such an inexhaustible sup
ply of pure water that we rarely think
of it as a special blessing. But when
we contrast our condition in this res
pect with other towns we may realize
how great cause we have to be thank
full. At Olathe just now, for example,
even after spending $4,000 for a sys-
tenn of water works, the town is as
dry as bone aud has to haul water
by train eleven miles from the Blue
river. 1t takes two train loads day
to supply the wants of the citizens,
and the expense is very heavy.
Rev. Samuel Barber, pastor of the
NJ. f. Church at Nashville, Mo, and
Miss Adah McGurk, of lola, were mar
ried at the home of the BRIDES sister,
Mrs II. II. Jones' at noon onChristmas,
in the presence of a few relatives and
intimate friends. They went to Bald
win on Wednesday where they will
visit Mr.. Barber's father and mother
for few days before returning to their
home in Nashville. Both young peo-
pie are highly esteemed by those who
know them best, and the best wishes
of many friends will follow them.
Weare very glad to make room for
the communication from Mrs. s. NJ. IT.
win, Of Geneva, on the subject of gam
bling, which will be found in this is
sue. In answering the questions asked
by Mrs. Irwin in her former cOmmun-
icatiOn we considered them solely
from legal standpoint, and gave the
judgment of men who are recognized
as good attorneys. Speaking from a
moral standpoint we desire to say
that our contributor herself cannot be
more opposed to gambling in any
form or anything that leads to it, than
is the REGISTER.
Mr.. E. A. Warden, who was visit
ing his sister, Mrs. Ed. Cain, of Car
lyle, recently, is the editor of the
iii. Republican, and upon
his return home published the follow
ing handsome notice of lola and Allen |
county:
The editor of the Republican returned Thurs |
day from brief visit with relatives at lola, |
Kansas. and feasting on fat turkey and chicken
Of which that country abounds in great number. |
lola is the equity seat of Allen county and is
thousand population and the best of all, the |
farmers never fail in producing a fair crop. and |
even more frequently have an abundance of /
frnit than Central Illinois lola has natural ad- |
vantage such as natural gas wells from which |
the town is lighted, and many business houses
and private residences are illuminated and |
heated. There is also an unlimited supply OF
line marble and lime stone for building and other /
purposes within easy access, and to cap the eli |
max q very large majority of the voters of Allen /
county have repudiated Populism and modern
Democracy.
Junction City Sentinel: John K.
Wright has inaugurated what prom
ses to be successful advance from
Did time methods of corn shocking
md Smelling, the Smelling of corn as
It comes from the shock. An Ordi-
nary threshing machine is used, and
he corn fodder is fed to the machine
u the same manner as wheat and the
result is that the corn is nicely she'll
I'd and separated, while the fodder is
,Orn and pulveriZed and carried out
Dy the straw stacker, in a condition
hat every pound can be utilized for
eed. Mr.. Wright says that fodder
10 handled Is worth more, pound for
pound for stock feed, than ordinary
prairie hay. NJ. E. Clark has investI-
rated the process and will thresh out
about fifty acres of corn, being thor
,ughly convinced of the praetibility
md economy of this method. About
wo hundred shocks, of fourteen hills
square, can be disposed of in day.

he lecture business. He has prepar
I'd a description of his experiences
md adventures on the long and peri
Gus journey, which will certainly be
