church, and the other churches, ac-
cOrding to their pleasant custom, will
unite in the service. Music will be
furnished by the High School chorus
and the occasion will be one of much
interest. All are cordially invited.
Arrangements have about been con-
cluded for the erection of four new
business rooms on the northwest
corner Of the square, fronting ON
Washington avenue and extending
from Jackson avenue to the alley.
The corner room will be owned by L..
Sleeper, the next by &. b Spencer,
the next by Sleeper d RreckiDridge
and the next by Miss Reimert. Work
will probably begin as soon as the
brick plant gets started.
Owing 10 the fact that the Opera
House is in use tonight and t0-mOr-
row night the board for the Com
mencement exerc ses will not be
opened until nine o'clock Monday
morning. Members of the class will
be allowed to reserve two seats each
for their parents, but with this excep-
ton no seats, not even for the teach
named. 1t goes without saying that
you want a seat you will have to be
Oh hand.
If you are in dOub about the wisdom
of putting out patch of sorghum, ask
one of your neig bors who brought his
cane to ClaibOrne's mill last year what
he thinks of the Investment. We
have not seen one who was not well
pleased. They say that they were
waited on promptly, that they got full
measure, and that they got real syrup
rather than sorghum mOlasses, -
And every one we have seen is going
to plant bigger patch this year than
he did last.
Following its usual custom the Reg
IsTER will next week print i'm full the
debate and all the oratiOns of the High
School graduating class, together
with group picture of the members
of the class. 1t will be a good paper
to send to your friends i'm the East to
show them how we do things here,
and there ought to he large number
of extra copies sent out. If you want
any, please leave your order at the
REGISTER office before next Wednes-
day morning.
There are not many papers in Kan
sAs that have to print two extra pages
this time of year to make room for
their advertisers and at the same time
do justice to their readers. The fact
that the REGISTER finds it necessary
to do that this week is the strongest
proof that could be offered that lola is
wide awake and moving right up TO
the head of the procession. Incident
ally also it is pretty strong proof that
the REGISTER is not very far away
from the band wagon.
The Gas Company thought last
Wednesday morning that spring had
come, and so began the work of con-
Meeting the two gas systems. In Or
der TO made the change it was neces-
sary TO discOnneet one of the wells
from the mains for short time. The
weather clerk saw his chance and
sent the cold wave just after the work
had been done. And that is the rea-
sou there was shortage of gas on
some of the lines Wednesday night
and thursday morning.
