The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1895-05-31

Last Saturdays Kansas City StdI
had quite long editorial commenting
approvingly upon the Commencement
program of the lola High School
which it saw reported in the REGIS
TER. That is the sort of thing that
helps our town on its road to fame
and glory,
Col. w. G. Jones went to Topeka
Tuesday to attend a meeting of the
| Democratic State Committee. We
understand that the object of the
meeting is to try to ascertain whether
there is enough of the Democratic
party left in Kansas to hold a state
convention.
When the blow and buster on
buggy business is over and forgotten
BECK will he doing business at the
old stand ready to make good all his
guarantees. If you want a cheap
Cincinnati buggy 1 will meet my
friends prices and discount them.
But my advise is not to buy auction
goods.
The REGISTER erred in saying in a
recent issue that Mr.. NJ. l.. Decker,
candidate for the Office of treasurer,
had "tried several times to leave
Kansas" He has lived in other
counties than Allen for short periods,
but he has never been rash enough to
try to get clear out of the State since
he landed here in 1858.

r. Hurd. our drummer, who travels
all over this section of Kansas, says
that there are finer Strawberries in
the lola market than in any town he
visits. The finest we have seen this
spring were some that John Melon
aid kindly presented to us. They
were nearly as large as hens eggs
and had delightful flavor.
Yates Center Ne,Cs: We are glad
to nOte the fact that Mr.. l. n. Templin
has purchased the lumber yard which
he has for the past fourteen years so
successfully conducted for l.. l..
NOrthrup of lola. In all these years
MIR. Templrn has been found faithful
to his post of duty and has built up
an excellent trade, and we cOEgratu- |
late him that the business is now in
his own hands.
Mrs. l.. s. Tharp, Evangelist at |
Large for the u. b. church has been |
in lola since last Friday and is hold
ing a series of meetings here, assisted I
by Rev. WINNER. Mrs. Tharp is ali
entertaining and powerful preacher
and the meetings have already at |
tracted so large an attendance that it |
has been found necessary to engage !
the opera house to accommodate the /
audience. The services will be con-
tinued next week.
If low prices and good vehicles will |
fetch it, Knapp, he who pays the |
freight and Blows and Busters ought |
to have the trade of Allen and adjOin- |
ing counties and he thinks by paying /
the car load freight he will get it, |
as other dealers have so much local |
freight to pay they must sell an infer
ior buggy for fully 20 per cent. higher
price. Knapp will warrant his "auc-
and make warrants good.
Will warrant wheels two or three
years.
d. B. d. Smeltzer showed US a
branch from peach tree the other
day which had 43 peaches on iF, and
the branch was less than half an inch
in the biggest part. Mr.
SmeltZer has been driving around the
county good deal lately and he says
that the peach crop will be very
heavy. The apple crop, he thinks,
will he lighter than was anticipated
as a great deal of the fruit has fallen
of. The cherries also have fallen off
badly.
Mr.. Merrill Winchester, Of Carlyle,
last Friday from Anderson,
Ind, where he has been attending a
business college during the winter.
He says that the outlook for farmers
IN that section is very poor indeed, as
no rain has fallen since the first of
March, and the crops that were start
ed have been cut down by the severe
frosts of the past two weeks. He
says that in one day there recently
The mercury fell fifty degrees. That
Is about as sudden and severe drop
IS we ever had in Kansas.
OssaWdtOmie Graphic: The editor
Of the lola REGISTER is working a
schemen on his brother editors to get
some cheap ad vertising for his town.
He first said that lola had gas enough
20 run a 10, GOO horse power plant. Now
ne comes in and says that Senator In
yalls will make speech in lola on
Day. We suppose the gas
Iupply will he double on that day at
east, and Mr.. Scott Will be trying to
make the people believe that the
own has gas for $4,000 horse power
plant. Nothing like advertising.
Allen county is considerably inter-
,sted in the Commencement exercises :
If the State University which take
place next week, as four of our young
people are among the graduates.
