been more talked about for the past

complete and accurate description of
it and fine large portrait of the dis

A farmer is induced to buy bill of
groceries from travelling salesman,
the goods to be shipped from some
city. In payment the man agrees to
take eggs. To make it all straight

gives his for the eggs. The goods
and salesman are never seen, but the
farmers note turns up at the bank.

of County Commissioners, and Charlie
Smith, Bridge Superintendent, were
in lola Monday to consult about the
damage that was being done to the

heavy loads that were being bauled
over them by the oil men. Several of
the bridges have suffered serious

Our ice men have given up hope of
getting supply of natural ice this
winter, and have made arrangements
with the Armour Ice Plant, of Kansas
City, to furnish them with the manu-
featured product. Kreuter & Kruger,
H. Klaumann and VIM. Yeagear
have joined in the deal and are receiv-
ing and packing away 200 tons this
week. 1t is beautiful ice, much pre-
ferable to the ice that is commonly
gathered from the local streams, for
the reason that the water out of which
it is made is first vaporized and the
ice is therefore absolutely pure, while
it is frozen at so low a temperature
that it is very hard and lasts longer.
The Ninth Annual Reunion of
Bourbon County Ex-Prisoners of w ar

the evening there WIS a splendid
banquet at the New fremont. Mr.. J.
P. Robens, who was the prime mover
in the organization of the Association,
was "officer of the day." and kept
things moving in most entertaining
shape. The editor of the REGISTER
had the honor of delivering the an
nual address, and he is indebted to
the veterans of FIT. Scott and Bourbon
county for most enjoyable visit.
