Mr.. j. a. Romiek who, with his
family, has spent the summer in lola,
returned Wednesday to their home in
Beatrice, Neb. Mr.. Romick is great
~ pleased with our town, preferring il
as place to live TO Nebraska, and we
trust that it will sometime be consist
ent with his business interests to To-
cate here permanently.
The Santa Fe has now placed

We regret to learn that the rain
seriously intsrlered with the Moran
Fair last week and caused it to tall
short of its usual success We have
no doubt, however, that the men who
are Mt the head of it will be on hand
again all right next year, ready to re-
trieve this years misfortune. That is
the kind of people they are.
There are a whole lot of dollars sent
out of this county every yea for celery
that might just as well be put into the
pockets of our own farmers and gard
eners. Mr.. j. w. Edwards, of Elm,
brought in some celery this week that
was just as fine as any ever shipped
| from Michigan; and he raised it with
out any extra expense or trouble.
! Mrs. n. l.. Brewster, who has been
spending the summer here, went to
! Kansas City last Saturday and after
visiting with relatives there q few
! days will return to her home in Law
renee. Her daughter Grace, and
niece Miss Inez Mack, spent the past
four weeks in Colorado, the health of
| both being greatly improved thereby.
4 convention of the Young Peoples
Societies of Christian EudeavOr of
lola will be held i'm the Baptist Church
| Thursday evening and Friday of next
week. Henry W. Rule of Wichita,
State President of the Y. p. S. E., and
Prot. Esty Of Humboldt, will each be
! present and deliver addresses. Every
one interested in &. T.. work should
attend.
1t is greatly to be regrefte d that
| Mr.. Butler has concluded not to go
into the elevator business. An enter
prise of that kind is much needed in
lola and we cannot help believing
that if properly managed it would be
a good investment. We hope some
one else will look the matter up and
see whether we cannot have such an
institution.
The law plainly and emphatically
requIr, that whenever a traction ell
CINE is taken upon any public high
way q team of horses must be hitch
ed i'm front of il. We have seen a
great many such engines on the pub
lie roads but we have never yet seen
this provision of the law complied
with. Isn't somebody in danger of
getting into trouble?
One of our correspondents complains
that the lola Vinegar Factory is pay
ing only five cents a bushel for apples.
There must be mistake about this as
Mr. Claiborne tells us he is not buy
ing apples now at any price. He is
simply grinding for those who come.
Later in the fall he will buy apples
and will pay as much for them as the
business Will stand.

That's all right" said Al. Smith,
cOlOred, the other day to somebody |
who was trying to jeer at him, "that's
all right about my eyes sticking out.
l reckon they would be in my head if
there was room for them there. And |
/ reckon they wouldn't be hanging on
the outside if the brains hadn't |
crowded them out Say, son, you
needn't ever he afraid of your eyes
bulging!'
Mr.. J. Butler was unable to secure
exactly the location he wanted for his
elevator and has consequently given
up the project. The old depot, which
he intended TO use, has been sold to
the L. b. church by whom it will be
used in the construction of the church
they contemplate erecting on the lot
at the corner of jackson and Walnut
purchased some time ago from Mr..
EwaTt for that purpose.
Stout Patterson says that business
at the Pennsylvania hotel was better
during July this year than it was in
either November or December last
year, and that August so far has been
better than any month last year. And
yet July and August are usually the
dullest hotel months. If there is enc
business that may be taken as an in
dex of all the others it is the hotel
business, and that is why we think
