heeplDg eNerlasIlngly at lt Is the
secret of success in advertising as vel
as in everything else. 1t is the mer
who only advertise little bit, now
and then, here in lola who complain
that advertising does not pay. The
men who carry large space all the
time, or nearly all the time, in one OF
all of the newspapers, never make q
kick of that kind.
The Mayor and City Council are en-
titled to credit for good many things
they do not do as well as the things
they do. During the past few months
the city has been applied to for license
to run all sorts of things,-billiaTd
halls, prize fights and other sports, y
and the license has been refused
simply because we had the right kind
of city administration.
Matt and Breeze: The boys of lola
challenged the girls to a contest in
| 'rithmetic last week, and as a result
got miserably showed under. The
girls scored nearly all the tOuchdOwns
and the female center rush threw
figures right and left in way that
paralyzed the opposition. The final
score stood 15 to Sin favor of the girls.
If it keeps on this way the boys will
cut no ice anywhere.
The subject of the talk at the
MEMS Meeting" in the G. A. r.
Hall, next Sunday at p. m. will be
1.-The photograph of the worlds most
prosperous man." and at the Union
service in the Opera House at $50.
1.-The value of young man." Bruno
Hobbs, Esq, of Kansas City, and
Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the State Y. NJ. G.. A. will
speak at both meetings.
1t is very moderate drinKer in
deed who limits himself to two drinks
of whiskey day at cost of ten cents
each. But a grocery man in a neigh
boring town has figured the thing up
and advertises that for twenty cents
day for a year he will furnish 10
sacks of flour, 22O pounds of granulat-
ed sugar, 175 pounds of good coffee,
and save two dollars and fifty cents
as a premium for making the ex-
change.
Our county correspondents report
many of the farmers putting up ice.
1t is a good sign, for it means increas-
ing comfort and luxury. We do not
know of anything that pays so big
a return on the money invested as a
few tons of ice. The expense is insig-
nifieant. Hardly a farmer in Allen
comfy who cannot afford it. And
the blessing Oft in the sweltering
weather of July and August can hard
ly be reckoned in dollars and cents.
George H. Thomas, of Garnett, &C
cused of committing rape upon the
person of Gertie Baird and afterwards
causing her death in an attempt to con-
ceal the crime, was given his prelim-
mary trial before justice at Garnett
on Monday of last week, and bound
over without bail for trial upon both
charges. On account of the insecur-
ity of the Anderson county Jail he
was ordered confined in the jail at
lola, pending his trial, and he is now
here.
While attending an entertainment
at the Presbyterian church at Hum
bOldt last Friday evening, G. b.
Critzer was overcome with an attack
of epilepsy and lived but a few mo-
ments after being taken from the
church. Miss Nellie Shelter was
sisging solo at the time and neces-
sarily saw the man fall from his chair
and saw him taken from the room.
With rare self-control she continued
her song to the end, but she is still
suffering from the severe nervous
shock.
We want to say right now that we
are mighty proud of our Company D.
National Guards and the fine work
they are doing. Capt. Slower very
kindly invited the REGISTER reporter
to visit them last Friday evening and
see the work of inspection. The boys |
all look handsome when they are |
fully equipped, ready for the field, and |
the Captain deserves much credit for
the skiIlfull manner in which Com
pany D. is progressing. We want to
see our boys carry off the honors at
the next State Encampment.
The Mayor and the City Council de-
serve great credit for inserting pro-
vision in the new telephone ordinance
which will insure the city some return
in course of time for the valuable fran
chise they have granted. In this par
ticular case it is not likely to amount
