stituted in the county. There were
only eight Masons in the county at
that time, just enough to fill the off,
ces, and the lodge was organized at
Humboldt. In 1862 lodge was or
ganized at lola and Mr.. Colborn was
its first Master, holding that Office for
three years. He has always been an
active member of the order and has
held the Office of tyler for the past ten
or twelve years.
Mr.. Colborn has been twice married.
His first wife lived but little longer
than year after their marriage,
leaving at her death daughter, now
Mrs. Alice Scott. In 1857 he was
united to Miss lola G. Friend and
brought her as bride to lola in time
to have the town named i'm her honor.
Six children have been born to them,
five of whom are still living.
From the foregoing sketch it will be
clearly seen that the history of lola
cannot be written without a good deal
being said about J. +. COlborn. And
nothing that can ever be said will be
otherwise than pleasant and compli-
mentary. For the nearly forty years
he has passed here in the one COM
munity his life has been as nearly
blameless, it seems to us, as is posi-
BILE to any mere mortal on this wicked
planet. His worst fault has been his
modesty which has kept him in the
back ground when more selfish and
less able men have clamored their
way to the front. We never heard
him accused of giving short weight or
of incorporating what he sold, or
in any way of wronging any man out
Ofthe worth of a farthing. tits pleas
ant to be able to say these things and
be sure that the whole community
that reads them will know that they
are spoken as the simple truth and
not put down as mere compliment.
Mr.. Colborn bears his sixty-six years
lightly, as his picture shows and as
red bearded men are likely to do, and
all who know him will hope that the
next fifty will touch him as gently as
the past fifty have.

FAIR NOTES.

Col. ID. r. Anthony, Senator Mar
tin and z. p. Campbell will address
the Old Settlers Sept. l., and every
ore should be present TO hear three of
Kansas best orators. Their address
es will he interesting to old settlers
and instructive to young settlers.
Old settlers should secure their
tickets before the fair, but such per-
sons who do not have tickets before
that time will be provided with tick
cts at the ticket office near fair
grounds. All persons are entitled to
tickets Old Settlers Day who were
residents of Kansas prior to January
%, 1861.
Old Settlers are requested to regis
ter on fair grounds where they will
be provided with proper badges.
. Piano concert will be given in Flo
raj Hall by Prof. Andrus of Kansas
City. Mr.. Andrus is considered one
of the best musicians in the west. If
you get tired of piano music you can
hear the lola band and then decide
which you like the best.
- Find speaking, handsome Floral
Hall and good music does not make a
fair, but it takes exhibits, and GER
tainly this year there is no good eX-
cuse for not making fine exhibit of
stock, agricultural and horticultural
products. 1t is hoped our enterpris-
ing farmers will bring in the best of
the ''flock and field" and make an eX-
hibit worthy of Allen county. Make
the fair dates holidays and every body
come with exhibits.
There will be more and better
chickens at the fair than was ever
roasted at enc of Peter Cartwright's
best camp meetings. Bring in the
Poultry and make the superintendent
earn his salary.
Sixty pens for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs have been erected and more
will he built If necessary.
No gambling of any kind will be
permitted on the fair grounds.
The special premiums offered in
premium list by James Mccain, c.
f. Scott, d. w. Bostwick, A. l.. Har-
m on and w. E. Davis d Co. are worth
.leompeting for.
Exhibitors can buy season tickets
for 90 that permits them to center
fair grounds with vehicle during en-
tire fair. or they can make entries by
purchasing regular admission tickets
for each day they attend. This
change in rules certainly removes all
objection that can be made regarding
ex Exhibitors tickets.
Some of Iola's enterprising mer-
chants will make merchants dis
play that will be worth seeing.
Program of fair and races will be
printed Monday, Sept. 9th.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY.
REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET.
STILL REPUBLICANS

The article in last weeks REGISTER
set our colOred friends who had been
talking about leaving the Republican
party to thinking, and the result is,
so we are informed, that all but three
or four of them have decided that
they were being led in the wrong di-
rection and have turned back. They
see now that the stories that had been
told them were false and that it was
all an opposition scheme, not to bene-
fit the colOred people, but to hurt the
Republican party. AS one of them
said to us, 81 knew something was
wrong the minute heard some DEM
ocrats praising US. 1t didn't sound
right"
AS we said last week, all that was
needed to convince them that they
were in danger of making mistake
was a moment or two of sober reflec-
ton. Their friends are IN the Repub-
lican party and their natural home is
there. We have no doubt that they
will all be back in it 10y the time cleo
ton day gets round.

began to grind. These districts real
ize that September is preferable to
March for school.
A gentleman from one of the central
districts in the county came into town
tc see about getting his daughter into
the high school and on being informed
that the tuition would be g month
and that the school board did not care
about taking any one at that, he be-
gan to wonder if there could not be
some more satisfactory arrangement
that might save the necessity of send
ing his daughter away to school and
the petition for county high school
was presented to him. Without hes
itation he, realizing the immediate
need of such a school, signed it and
is recommending others to do like
wise. After all the thing VIC so much
need is free high school in Allen
county. IL. ID. j..

THE NEosHO FALLS REUNION.

The old settlers and their neighbors
and descendants had fine time at
NeOshO Falls last Thursday and Fri
day. AT least they did Friday when
we were there. The fine grove was
at its best and was well filled with
as prosperous and happy looking lot
of people as one could see anywhere
in all this world. In the absence OF
the President our Capt. 5. J. Stewart
acted as chairman, and he performed
the duties so gracefully that he was
honored by being elected President OF
the Association for the coming year.
J. n. Stout of the Post, was reelected
secretary. The platform program
was brief, as is fitting on an occasion
such as this when everybody would
rather talk than be talked to. There
was excellent music by the Geneva
Glee Club and by the Neosho Falls
band, and there was recitation or
two. The principal address was by
Judge c. b. Graves and it was fine in
every respect, just enough history to
make it instructive, just enough anec-
dote to keep it from being dull, just
enough wit to flavor it. We wish
that Judge Graves could be persuad-
ed to give the same address at our
Fair on old settlers day. Hon. E. H.
Funston was on the program but he
was not there.

THE FAIR.

Next Wednesday, Sept. 18th, the
entries for the Fair must be made.
Never in the history Of Kansas have
such crops been raised.
Allen county could make display
of farm products equal to that at any
state fair ever held in the state. 1t is
important that we do so. The state
is full of men wanting to buy farms
and farm products and there will be
q lot of them at the Fair.
There is danger that in the very
abundance of material we may make
but a poor showing, Each farmer
Jay think that there will be so much
better products shown than he has
that it is useless for him to bring any
and that if he fails to secure premi-
um his trouble is thrown away.
Nothing could be farther from the
facts. Two years ago there were sew
eral persons who exhibited grass
seeds and for several weeks parties
were coming to me TO find out who
had grass seeds for sale, and two
weeks after the fair not one of them
had any seed left.
Last year 1 met a man on the street
with some nice white corn. On my
suggestion he took some to the fair
and before the fair closed he sold his
entire crop at twice its market value
although his corn did not take any
premium. Was he not well paid?
The wealth of Kansas is chiefly in
its grains and grasses and every far
mer in Allen county has some farm
product that he can bring and help to
show that Allen county is rich.
Let us have 1000 samples of corn
and everything else in proportion.
Every exhibitor will leave a record
that may be worth many times its
cost in trouble. w. A. COwAN,
superintendent Class II.

AN OLD TIMER.
Portrait and Biographical Sketch of Ou'
of the Pioneers of Allen County.

Portrait and Biographical Sketch of one
of the Pioneers of Allen County.
Josiah Francis Colborn was born on
a farm near Noblesville, Ind, Febru-
airy Z, 1929. In 1910 he removed with
his parents to Illinois where he lived
on a farm until his eighteenth year
when he went to Louisville, Ill to
learn the blacksmith's trade. He was
regularly apprenticed and served two
years for his board and clothes, after
the good old fashion of those days.
After learning his trade he worked as
a journ eyman for few months when
the California fever struck him and
he started out, with an older brother
and some neighbors, on the long jour-
ney across the plains, driving OK
teams.

That was in 1850. The trip from
Kansas City to California as it is now
made in palace cars, in four or five
days, is tiresome and wearing. But
what must it have been behind those
slow plodding oxen, day after day,
week after week, month after month!
We have often wondered that the men
who made it did not go mad from
sheer Impotence to be at the end of
their journey. But the COlbOrn broth
ers kept their sanity and in the course
of time reached their destination,
Georgetown, California. Of course
the first thing was TO prospect for
gold, and they tried it faithfully. But
nothing was found, and the grub"
gave out, so there was change of
base and occupation. They went to
the Redwood mountains and there
Joe" took a job of driving an OK team
that hauled timber down from the
mountains to San Jose. After get
ting another stake he returned to the
mining country. But prospecting
PANIED out as poorly as before, so a
blacksmith shop was opened at the
mining camp of Columbia. There was
money in hammering iron there in
those days. $500 for shoeing horse.
$500 for setting a wagon tire, and
other jobs in proportion. But other
things cost also, and it was no place
for white man anyhow, and so after
a year or so the young blacksmith
sold his shop and started back to
Goods country" Arriving at the
old Illinois home Mr.. ColbOrn went
into the mercantile business in which
he engaged until everybody got to
talking about Kansas and he came out
here to see it. His first visit was in
June, and who ever could resist Kan
sas in June? He bought the claim
that is now known as the Bassett
farm, on the river west of town, and
another that included 160 acres of
what is now the tOwnsite of lola, and
then went back after his family. On
the 24th of October 1857 he got back
to lola and this place has been his
home ever since.
The first winter was spent in split
ting rails, and the rails were used in
enclosing with an eight rail fence forty
acres of what is now the north east
part of lola. This was broken up
the next spring and planted to corn.
Finest corn you ever saw till the first
of August, and then-mOst of US know
the rest. The lola town company
was formed in 1853 and Mr.. Colborn
sold his claim to them and went out
and pre-empted the 100 that lies east
of the DeLap farm. Worked it awhile
and eventually proved up ON it. In
meantime built the first blacksmith
shop in IOla,-on the corner that Jim
McNutt has been using as a wood
yard,-and went to work at the old
trade. Sold the shop in a short time
and engaged as a clerk IN the store of
B. Brewster on the corner where An
derson & DeClute now are. Clerked
for him for two or three years and for
his successors, Scott Bros, and then !
went into partnership with \. Han
kins and bought out a little drug and |
grocery store that Gillian and New
berry had been running. The store
was log house that had been brought
over from COfachique and was located
where Yeager now is. From that day
to this the name of ]. +. Colburn has
always appeared in the directory of
the business men of lola.
Mr.. Colborn is a Mason and helped
organize the first lodge that was in
