New Tie and Ribbon Pins at Gofs.
The largest enrolment at the lola
school at the end of the first week in
any previous year, was 40. This
year the enrolment the first day was
SD. This tells as we'll as any census
could of the great increase of the
population of lola during the summer,
and it makes it clear that at least one
additional room will have to be
found somewhere to accommodate the
additional pupils that will come dur
ing the next month. Another thing
that speakes we'll for the reputation
of our high school is the fact that q
number of students are here this year
from other counties. When men will
send their children here and pay
tuition and board, rather than send
them to their home school, it is testi-
nnony enough of the fine work that is
done here.

Was a success in spite Of the I'M
promising spell of weather that was
turned loose on u.s.
We were there Everybody went. People
seemed impervious to the weather and came
from every point of the compass, in wag-
ons, bugges, on horse back and on foot to
see what Allen county could show at the
fair. They wanted to see the races and the
balloon ascension and the fine stock and
the fine art and the pumpkins. In regard
to the awarding Of premiums it was notice
able that the longest pole got the persim-
mons It generally happens that way. We
are going to get the persimmons when it
comes to Cloaks and Capes this year. We
have them already to show and when
you've seen them we feel sure you'll make
us the award of your trade in that line.

are right, too,

They Think and the Time for Action to
the Best Advantage Is Right Now
Every Province Involved - Mark LaEe
Express Reports Upon the European
Autumn RaiAfail and the Argentina
Wheat Crop, Now Being Harvested
The Markets.

London, Eng, Dec. 1.-THE Calcutta
Engiishman of November %, contends
that the home officials are utterly at
fault in regard to the dimensions of tne
famine. II adds that practically every
province is involved and asserts that
such errors at the outset may result in
irrertrievable disaster and suffering be-
fore the crisis is over.
The Mark Line Express in its crop re-
port today says that the rather heavy
rainfall of December is welcomed and
gives the November sowp grain a hope
full start.
"Spain," the Express continues. 'has
enjoyed an extremely heavy rainfall
since October, and the benefit of the ag-
riculture of that arid peninsula Will be
very great.
Central Europe he's seen rapid rise
CT temperature and rather heavy rain
fall.''
Referring to the Indian outlook, the
Mark Lane Express says:
The Indian rains are TOO late to allow
OF anything like the average OF sow1
wheat for 1897
Regarding the South American outlook
the Marke Lane Express says that the

warmer provinces of Argentina and adds
tnat it CLEANS that from 100000 to 400
600 quarters Of wheat may be expected
from Montevideo.
Comenting on the depression here, the
Mark Lane Express says:
The quantities forced on an unwil-
ling market in damp, close weather ac-
counts for the depressed English mar
kets. the downward tendency being aid
ed by the government crop estimate,
which has weight, though it is generally
regarded as excessive.
Foreign wheat has been affected by
the vigorous competition of the home
supply; but the dependence OF Great
Britain on imported produce is now so
heavy that the natural facts of the po-
sition are bound to tell ere long, the
facts being that the total production of
the world in 1896 is barely equal to the
total requirements and the reserves,
though considerable are being steadily
worked
In conclusion the Mark LaLe Express
predicts recovery of prices, probably
within week, if anything like season.

weeks. He sold them to Adam HUFF

many pounds they gained in nine weeks.

$50 pounds more when he sold it than
when he bought it.
A number business men of this city

Chris Mohr's pig got out of his enclos-
