We don't know why two or three
people whom we have always treated
square and for whom we have only
the frIendliest feelings should be al
ways trying to do US harm. For ex-
ample: Why did they go to CLARK
COffield and tell him that "Charlie
Scott slapped him good and hard in
his speech Saturday, by not u en-.
tioning his name! We didn't men
ton Judge Martins name, nor Judge
Stillwelps, nor Lutte StOver's, nor f.
ID. Lacey's, nor DR.. JEWELS, nor any
of tie township ticket. Is it to be
insisted that we slapped all these?
Of course Mr.. COffield inquired OF
some fair-miuded man who heard US,
and found out the straight of the mat
ter, and then kept on treating us in
his old friendly way. 20 no harm
was done. We don't even know the
names of the persons who started the
story. and all we print this for is to
ask them il they won't treat us fair
hereafter,-as fair as we treat them
Life is too short TO spend it being
mean to somebody.
A. o. Allen has sold his Racket"
to Mr.. J. +. Sallie, late of Illinois and
Mr.. q. ). Emerson, late of NickersOn,
Kansas, who will continue the bust
ness under the name of "The lola
Racket" After visiting a few days
among friends in this county Mr.. AL
len expects to take his family to Hi
nOls where he will leave them with
relatives while he goes to the Pacific
Slope in search of a new business lOc-
alton. He will store his household
goods here and is by no means willing
to give bond that he may not come
back here after he has seen the rest
of the country. Mr.. Sallie and Mr..
Emerson expect to bring their fam
lilies here as soon arrangements can
be made, and proceed OF once to make
themselves at home here. they bring
to the business which Mr.. Allen so
prOsperOusly built up, ample capital
and long experience and with the
added advantage of pleasing personal
address their success is assured. The
REGISTER is glad to welcome them to
lola and trusts they will never have
cause to regret their location here.
Mr.. Picken played a mean Irish
trick on Mr.. Squier Friday evening,
by inviting him to go walking with
him and give him some advice on
several different questions, and then
leading him around home at O'clnck
and dropping him into the midst of
surprise party,-declaring that he
did not intend to follow Mir. Squier's
advice unless it suited him, for it was
all joke. The larger part of the
congregation had assembled at the
parsonage and a most delicious sup
per was served during the evening.
The Mandolin Club volunteered its
services and added greatly to pleas
ure of the evening. The church had |
been opened and lighted to help &C.
cOmOdate the crowd and at the close |
of the evening very attractive pro- |
gram of recitatiOns was given by the |
young people. Those taking part |
were Misses Blanche Richards, Ona |
Cox, Helen Gray, Anna Ewart, and |
Master Fred Fulton, Wendell Burtch. |
Miss Welch with her usual gracious
ness responded to repeated calls from |
the audience, with one of her de-
lightful recitatiOns and Mr.. Squier |
his appreciation and pleas
ure at being made the center of such |
a pleasant sociOl gathering. The /
church was decorated with a new
rag carpet which the ladies of the |
made, and given to Mrs. Squier early |
in the evening.
