The Santa Fe depot is going up
rapidly.
LaHarpe won in the ball game
played here last Thursday. 1t was
very evident however, a good many
say who witnessed the game, that
they did not do it by good ball play
ing. The lola boys put up good
game all the way through and the
feeling is pretty general that had it
not been for the rank decisions of the
LaHarpe umpire they would have
won the game.
Special rates have been made via
A. Il. d s. +. to the following points
and for occasions named. For the

Christian Endeavor Boston, Mass,
j uly 1914. More extended notice of

A number of the business men gath
cred together informally last Monday
evening to talk over the 4th of July,
and it was decided that it would be
best not to attempt to have celebra-
ton in lola this year. Humboldt is
to have j. II. Burton, and other neigh
boring towns expect to celebrate in
more or less elaborate fashions, so
lola will be neighbOTly and distribute
herself among her friends. But look
out for next year!
Albert H. Newton and wife, of Val
ley Center, little town near Wichita,
have been visiting Mr.. Newton's par
ents near LaHarpe and were in lola
Tuesday. Mr.. Newton says that a
farmer near Valley Center lost 60
acers of corn that was six inches high
by having it blown entirely out of the
ground during one of the recent furious
wind and sand storms in that section.
Think of white men trying to live in
that kind of country!
Mr.. Ord Christian, of Carlyle, has
bought an interest in j. H. CampbelPs
drug store, and the new firm will be
known as Campbell & Christian. Mr..
Christian has been making a special
study of chemistry and pharmacy at
the Emporia college, and is therefore
we'll prepared for the drug business.
He is moreover a bright and attrac-
tive boy who will make friends of all
who learn to know him. The new
firm will be even more popular than
the old, if that is possible.

Moline Republican l.: The r. r.
Photo car went to Longton Monday,
after having made a stop of four
weeks in our city and turning out
more and better work than was ever
done in town by any other artists.
The proprietors, Hutchings Bros, are
not only expert photographers, but
perfect gentlemen. During their stay
here they never turned out job of
work that was unsatisfactory. On all
sides we have heard only words of
commentator for them and their
work. They leave our city with the
esteem and confidence of the entire
community.
Miss Clara WEIGH and Miss Leda
Crawford will give a recital at La
Harpe next Monday evening, June II,

the lola orchestra, and at Moran by
the Moran orchestra. The REGISTER
wants to impress it upon all the peo-
pie within reach of either of these
places that they are offered chance
to spend one of the most delightful
evenings Of their lives, and they ought
not to neglect it. Miss WEIGH and
Miss Crawford give charming enter
tainment, and the people of Moran
and LaHarpe ought to consider them
selves in great luck to be given an OPP
portunity of hearing it.
