Gently vacated by Probate Judge
Smith. Mr.. Allison is the boss mason
fOr the canyons, and has come up to
superintend the building of the fur
naces.
Messrs. Robert and William Lam
yen were in lola to spend the Fourth
and to witness the gas display. They
were amazed at the showing made as
1t surpassed their expectations. Mrs.
| William LanyOn accompanied her
husband aud they remained over
Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lawyer came
over from Webb City to spend the
Fourth. They said it was easy
enough for stranger to see the i'm
prOvement in lola during the past few
months, and especially to note how
much more hopeful and confident the
people were.
Mr.. q. G. Null was called to Caney-
vile Montgomery county last Friday
| by the unex expected death of his broth
er MIR John Null. This is the second
brother that Mr. Null has lost within
a few months, and his friends will
tender him their sincere coincidence
and sympathy.
On Thursday last while Mrs. Givler
and Mrs. Heilman were driving in
the south part of town their horse be-
came frightened and backed and
whirled around until the right front
wheel of the buggy was entirely de-
mOlished. Fortunately neither OF the
ladies was hurt.
Mr.. n. Shaffer says he has his lime
kiln nearly completed and expects to
begin burning rock in about ten days.
The kiln is located nesr NOrthrup's
Ford and will use fuel from tho Coop
erative gas well. Mr.. Shaffer says
he will be able To turn out about 100
bushels of lime q day after he gets
things in running order.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Ewart came over
from SedaIia to spend the Fourth.
Like ali the other Iolans, they were
were as proud of the big crowd and of
the fine display Of gas as if they still
lived here. And they remarked in
hopeful tone of voice that so far as
they knew there was no law to pre-
vent them from coming back.
IcCclNCO SCN-
ersl new faces of type the other day,
of the latest and handsOmest designs.
Now that this paper is spending a
good deal of money printing extra
copies and in other ways TO spread
abroad the fame of lola, it would
especially appreciate the patronage of
the public in its job department.
HARDLY O dow orOaS bx, that SoDoaopo
does not say to the REGISTER: "YOu
are exactly right on the COW question,
and l hope you will keep it up until
we get herd law" And thus far no
one has come up to put in a protest.
It begins to look as If the sentiment
in favor of keeping the cows off the
street was practically unanimous.
The REGISTER sincerely regrets to
learn of the death of Mrs. George
Meredith, of MarmatOn township,
which took place last Sunday. Mr..
Meredith has no relatives in this
state except a niece of his wife, and
his friends will deeply sympathize
with him in the great sorrow and
loneliness that has fallen upon him.
1t would be- pleasant and bOspit-
able thing if the citizens of lola
would show their appreciation of the
work that is being done by the teach
ers of the county i'm the Normal In
stitute by an occasional visit. The
courtesy would be recognized by the
corps of instructors and the students,
and the visitor himself would be we'll
entertained.
The aged mother of Mr.. George |
Bunnel, who lives just east of town,
died Wednesday morning about 1870. |
Her death came after long and terri |
bic suffering, caused by a cOmplica-
ton of diseases of the stomach. The |
funeral was held at the house and |
conducted by Rev. VI. F. King. Mr..
Bunnel and family have the SYM
pathy of all their friends.
In reporting the proceedings of the
District Court two weeks ago the
REGISTER noted a judgment that had
been rendered against J. A. Barrack-
man for S6681 90. These are the
figures that appeared on the court
docket but it seems that the sum
really cOverd by the judgment was
only S66.81, and the REGISTER takes
pleasure in making the correction.
An Usage correspondent who at
tended the Fourth at Moran, writes to
the REGISTER as follows: 81 wish
in some way through your paper Rev.
Pulliam might receive the due amount
Of praise he ought to have for his fine
and excellent address to the people of
Moran on the Fourth. 1t would be
hard to speak too strongly to express
the appreciation of those who
heard it,"
The REGISTER is regularly print
ing about 100 extra copies every week,
which it will be glad to send out free
to any addresses that may be given
rs, either in or out of the county. The
REGISTER does this as its eontribu-
lion TO help hasten along "the good
times coming" believing that now is
\ mighty good time to advertise lola,
md that one good way to do it is to
,end out paper that is trying to
airly represent the town and cOun-
ry.
