Mr. J. H. Newell, of Geneva town.
ship, says he has made more money
out of clover the past seven years than
out of any other crop. He thinks the
best stand is secured by sowing it by
! itself.

sas City Wednesday where she-will
make her home for some time with heI
brother, Robert, and give lessons in

missed at home.
In accordance with its usual custom
the REGISTER presents its reades
with a handsome supplement which
| is brim full of good things, and can
not fail to contribute largely to every
body's Merry Christmas.
K. C. Journal: Cy Leland has an
exact double in the person of j. n.
Sapp, of Allen county, and it appears
to be the sap trait in your Uncle Cy-
rus that is keeping the other senator
ial candidates awake O. nights.
Miss Sadie Reimert extends a cor
dial invitation to her patrons and all
who may be interested in such work
to visit her studio during the Holt
days and inspect the display of her
work which will be on exhibition at
that time.
X. C. Journal: lola has "profes-
sor" who travels around teaching
Greek, Latin, French or German, and
the first thing they know down there
the town will become so polyglot that
the tragedy of the Tower of Babel
will be repeated.
We neglected to mention last week
the appointment of p. J. Talbot to q
place in the Government printing of
flee at Washington. 1t is good JOt
and we are glad that Talbot got it.
He started to Washington with his
wife Wednesday.
Some boys, who ought to be gentle
men, disgraced themselves and hui
inflated every decent citizen who saw
them, by acting like hOodlums at the
Court House Wednesday afternoon
when a young couple came to be mar
ried. 1t was shameful, and tho Mar
shall ought to have arrested them.
A very pleasant party was given at
the home of Mr.. j. Butler on last Fri
day evening, in honor of the Misses
Rannels, of Lawrence who visited
here last week. A number of young
people were present and report g
good time. The young ladies return
ed to their home sunday.
Our Bayard correspondent reports
the splendid success of Rev. Kings
meetings out in Usage, and another
| friend, whose letter we have not room
to print, speaks in the warmest terms
of Bro. King personally and of the
great good he has accomplished. Such
commentator is most gratifying not
only to Mr.. King but to all his many
friends.
Two men who were arrested a.
Yates Center the first of the week fol
burglary are now in the county jai
here. When arrested they had foul
d,,zen pocket knives and four new re-
volvers on their persons 1t is
thought they may perhaps be the
same men who went through Harry
Bragg's store at Savonburg a few
nights ago
Having been awsy from home 81
much this fall we have not made not
as we should like to have done, of al
the improvements that have been
made about town. One of the things
thus inadvertently omitted was tia
new barn recently built by DR.. Boul
son, and the tearing down of the ole
one, both operations tOgett er resulting
in a great improvement in the appear
ance ofthe premises.
Is it altogether right for children
who have the whooping cough to b.
permitted to 60 upon the street or t.
attend school or other public gather
ings? The disease would soon disap
pear if those who have it were guar
antined. but as it is it is spreading
every day. Have we any county o
city health officer? And if so, wha
is his advice on this matter?
The surprise Club resolved itself in
to an Art Glass at the home of tn
editor of the REGISTER Tuesday eve
ming and spent some hilarious hour
in free hand drawing. Thirty-fiv
pictures were drawn altOgether by a
many different people, and Captain
Slower and Mrs. DeClute proved to b
the most wildly imaginative anon
the guests, as each one of them guess
ed what fifteen of them were intende
to represent. Mr.. Bowlus, who doe
+ not pretend to be an art critic, wa
able to name but one picture correct
IIy.-and that was the one he himsel
drew,-and he was the only one WIN
guessed it, Mrs. Lutte NOrthrup wol
: prize Cor the best drawing, and Nj
CHI. DeClute for the orst,-althoug
this latter distinction was really hard
ly deserved, there were so man
others that almost equally deserve
it. In fact a large number of th
images might have been worshippe
without sin for they representa-
nothing in the heavens above, nor
{ the earth beneath nor in the water
under the earth. But it was no en-
! OF fun.
