Mr.. c. +. Parker, and Mr.. Often, Of
Doniphan county, were here this
week and bought farms. Mr.. Parker
bought the Bramley farm and will
move onto it in the spring, and Mr..
Often bought the Goemmer place for
his nephew, ID. w Often. We are
glad to welcome these men as citizens
of Allen county.
/ The w. +. NJ. s. of the NJ Z. church
very pleasantly spent their first meet
ing of the year last Thursday after
noon in taking well filled baskets, and
after the usual routine, lunched with
their pastor and wife, leaving only
when the "shades of eve were falling
fast" and wishing all days of the
year so pleasant.
We are glad to see that the Dress
Cutting School is being well patron
lied. In all our dealings with Mr..
Mosier, the manager, we have found
him pleasant and reliable man, and
those who have completed the course
of instruction that he gives unite in
saying that they got more than the
worth of their money.
1t has leaked out that the girls not
only discussed the widOwers but the
young men also, and that here again
three of them picked on the same
man. And that probably explains
why theee young women do not
speak as they pass by, and why one
young man does not venture away
from home alone after dark.
A few friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Elias
Banks spent a pleasant day at their
home, west Of the river on New Years
eve. A sumptuOus dinner was sery-
ed and all seemed to have had an en-
| joyable time. Those present were
Mr. and Mrs. G.. SeymOre, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. NJ. Stewart, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Duncan, Rev. :. w. Alexander and
Miss Bette Moore.
The REGISTER enjoyed a pleasant
call last Saturday from Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellison Powell, of Carlyle and Mrs.
Robert Bruere, of Salt Lake City,
who is visiting them. Mrs. Bruere
was formerly Miss Fullwider and
was schOOl-mate of ours at Carlyle
when David Smith, of blessed mem.
DRY, was the teacher. We were glad
to renew the acquaintance.
In the Pension Office at Washing
ton, where w. H Evans works, they
call him PETER because he comes from
Kansas and has long beard. He
gets the REGISTER, of course, and the
paper has become we'll known to the
other clerks who work near him. So
nearly every week, when the REGIS
TER comes in somebody calls out,
"Well, PETER, what's the news from
Prairie Dell, Or whatever other
neigh borhood they happen to think
| of.
Charlie Bacon was in from Elsmore
Tuesday and called at this office.
His family has lately been blessed by
the addition of twin boys, one OF
whom is Methodist Republican and
is named Howard Mckinley, and the
other Is a Republican Methodist and
is named Reed Emerson, Mr.. Howard
being the present Methodist pastor at
Moran, and Mr.. Emerson a former
pastor Now that is what we call
loyalty.
The semi-annual report made by
Superintendent Smith of the condi-
ton of the county BRIDGES report
which is a model, by the way for
cIearness and completeness,-shOws
that we have rs bridges in all, of ma
eiial as follows: Iron, Il, steel, 3, COM
bination. >, wood. ). stone, l. The
total floor span is 253O feet, nearly
half mile. The estimated value is
$50, 600, and the total cost of painting
and repairing for the year 1895 was
! 1865. 5S.
Lest there might be some misunder-
standing occasiOned by the wording
/ in last weeks REGISTER of the notice
about the G.. \. r. and w. R. c. in
stallation, we are asked to say that
on account of limited room the invita-
ton must be restricted to members OF
the Post and their wives, members OF
the Corps and their husbands, and
old soldiers, not members of the Post,
and their wives. All of these are ask
ed to bring well filed baskets and
have a good time.
