The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1897-02-05


We are sorry TO report the total
destruction by fire of Mr.. James
Kinsman's barn, together with several
horses and lot of corn, hay and fod
der. We were unable to learn wheth-
er or not there is any insurance.
There is a school down in Oklahoma
where whenever boy spells a word
that girl has missed he is allowed
to kiss the girl. And they say that
the girls are the poorest spoilers and
the boys the best of any school in the
Territory.
Rev. J. w. Stone of Cofieyville, for
merly of this city, made the REGISTER
a pleasant call last Friday morning.
He has just recovered from a long
sickness which has so changed his
appearance that his old friends hard
ly knew him.
Tom Anderson shipped three car
loads of cattle to Chicago last Friday
evening. Cain & Wright also shipped
three cars of cattle and hogs to the
Kansas City market Monday, and
Josh Butler shipped car load of hogs
on Wednesday.
A crowd of young people gathered
at the hume of Miss Adah Wright
Monday evening and proceeded from
there to the home of Jas. Campbell,
where they gave him royal surprise
in honor of his 23d birth day. They
all had jolly time.
Mr.. Sol. Hufferd, who has been liv-
ing on farm in Anderson county,
was burned out last week, and has
brought his family down to lola where
they will make their home with Mr..
Crumbley, Mrs. Hufferd's father, I'M
til they can build house of their own.
Remember the meeting of the Far
mers Institute next Tuesday and
Wednesday at the court house in
lola. No matter how bad the weather
may be it will pay you to come to lola
to attend that meeting. Come both
days if you can, but come one day
anyhow.
An unfortunate disagreement be-
tween Mrs. Mary E. Kayne and John
D. Rems berg and others, growing out
of some marauding cattle, got into
Justice POtter's court on Wednesday.
The verdict of the jury was in favor
of the Remsbergs, but carried no PEN
atty except the payment of the costs.
Just watch it awhile and you will
see that the people who come into lola
and try to do business without adver-
Using all go to the wall sooner or
later,-and usually sooner. The people
of this town take the papers and read
them and they forget all about man
who does not have his name in them
Mrs. Jas. Wakefield entertained
Wednesday in honor of her sisters
Misses A bbie and Emma Wakefield,
and delightful afternoon was spent
in conversation and music. Supper
was served at six o'clock and the
occasion was greatly enjoyed by the
following guests: Mesdames Lutte
Northrup, John Foust, Sleeper, Aus
herman, Scott, Alt Northrup, Mcneil,
Smith, Campbell, Sallie, Frank Smith,
and Misses Wakefield, McMiIlin,
Wright, Smeltzer, Mitchell, Minrow,
Evans, Kelso. Mcneil, Acers, Nc
Donald, Thomas.
Some people are so quiet and mod
est that they are not half appreciated
especially by the people who have
known them all their lives. We heard
an lola girl, born and brought up here,
talk the other night for half an hour
to room full of people about the
later Grccian philosophy. 1t was
the clearest and best digested exposi-
tion of the views and theories of Aris-
totle and the thinkers that followed
him that we ever heard. And this
girl talked it off without note to as
sist her memory and with perfect
understanding of what it all meant
People who know say that this girl
is one ofthe best primary teachers in
Kansas. And the name of the GIRL
which she will probably never forgive
US for mentioning here,-is Miss Grace
BOstwick.
