The Allen county friends OF w. H.
Slavens will grieve To- Learn of his
death, which occurred April 2, at his
home in Kansas City. In another
place we reprint from the Yates
Center NelUs All appreciative obituary.
Just now when the whole world is
talking about Turkey ami A rmenia it
cannot fail to be Intensely interesting
to hear the subject discussed by u
native of Damascus, subjecr of
Turkey and Christian. DON'T fail to
secure your ticket for the lecture at
the Opera House next Thursday even

The only probable candidate for
county office of whom knowledge has
come to us whose names was not
mentioned in our general roundup
last week, is Mr.. G.. w. Smith, of
Elm, whose friends are getting ready
to push him for sheriff. This simply
adds one more good man to the list
and increases the embarrassment of
those who must make a choice.
Spencer, the north side druggist,
has the most unique Easter advertise
ment In his window this week we ever
saw. IT consists of an old hen with a
brood of little chickens. The little
chicks have been dyed pink, yellow,
green, purple and blue and the old
hen is a cOnglOmerati0n of all the
colOrs. Walk over there and see
them.

At the lola Opera House April %.
Not a week passes that the REGIS
TER does not furnish from five to
twenty copies of the paper free to
parties who want to send them
to friends in the East. Last
week we printed 100 extras and
nearly all of them are gone already
without a cent of cost TO anyone out
side of this office. 1t is all right to
'cuss the REGISTER" We shOaId
fear we had neglected our duty if
somebody were not doing that. But
are yOn doing as much for the town
as it is?
The remains of Mrs Kate Ellis Mil
Ter, brought from the home in Okla
homa by her husband, reached lola
! last Friday morning, as announced in
the REGISTER. and the funeral ser
vices we're held in the Presbyterian
church at o'clock in the afternoon.
Rev. w, l.. Squier officiating. The
church was beautifully decorated by
the loving care of old friends, and the
cssket was nearly buried i'm flowers
| The church was filled with COM
paDy of sincere ers, and the
services were touching ard i'm
pressive.
The people down at Hum bOIdt have
the right spirit. When nearly every
body down there was crazy to com
promise their bonds last summer, G.
H. Prstt opposed it. His opposition
aroused such resentment that he was
even Kissed in public meetings when
he spoke against compromise. But
this spring when the town got ready
to elect a mayor the same people who
| had hissed him said, "TheIe's Pratt
Let's elect him. He was against the
compromise, but he had a right to be-
He made bis fight, and/that was all
right too. ByegOnes are hyegOnes.
Let's make him mayor" And they
did by practically unanimous vote
That kind of spirit will build up a
town.
