body in the county and a large num-
Der from adjoining counties, should
attend the fair at lola which COM
mences September 18th and lasts the
remainder of the week. 1t has estab-
lished the fact that successful, in
teresting and instructive fair can be
held without making horse racing the
principal feature.
We have it on good authority that
the editor of the REGISTER is having
a scrumptious time out IN Colorado.
He and his family occupy cabin
near one of the ranches and the roof
of that cabin leaks. AS this season
happens to be an unusually wet one
this slight inconvenience assumes gil
gantic proportions. 1t seems that
when it rains the only dry spot in the
cabin is under the table, so the editor
deposits his young hopeful, Ewing
Carruth, in a basket under the table
and the rest of the family with hoist
ed umbrellas form a circle around
the edge of the top. 1t is hoped that
the party will not mill-dew before
they are through with their outing.
Colorado would seem to offer great in
ducements to the kodac fiend.
Lovers of music have rare treat in
store for them in the concert to be
given at the Opera House, Thursday,
Aug. %, 1895, by Mr.. Charles F. Den
nee, ins tructor of piano in the New
England Conservatory. Miss Frances
Mcclure, of lola, will assist with con-
tralto solos and the program will be
one of especial excellence. The fact
that Prof. Dennee occupies the high
position he does is sufficient guaran-
tee of his being thorough master of
pla no forte such as lola seldom has a
chan to hear. Miss Mcclure is a
graduate of the COnser\ atOry and is
well known among lola circles as a
singer of rare ability, and the solo
numbers which she will render will
make the event perfect in a musical
way. We trust that all who can will
att end the concert and get the full
benefit of this musical feast.
Alack and alas for the uselessness
Of human resolves! The q. q. G.
Club, the creme de la creme of the
upper crust SKINNED from the 400 of

well known the q. q. C.'s are very
excl usive, not only toward the male
sex, but even toward the majority of
