The remains of Mise Anna PaxsOn,
of Fit. Scott, whose death was an
nounced last week, were brought to
lola last Friday, accompanied by the
mother and sis ter of the deceased. A
number of relatives and friends were
al the depot when the train arrived
and the casket was taken at once TO
cemetery for interment, the funeral
services having been held at Fit.
Scott. Mrs. Paxson is a sister of Mis-.
Betha Campbell and has many old
and warm friends in lola who deep
ly sympathize with her sorrow. She
and her daughter, Miss Carrie, asked
the REGISTER to express their thanks
for the kindness shown them, par
ticularly by the young men who
acted az pall-bearers.

BRICK AND TILE.
Experts Demonstrate ConcIusively that lola
has an Unlimited Supply of rIateriaI for
Manufacturing the very
Best Grade of
COMMON AND vIrRIFIED BRICK.

For the past three weeks Mr.. A.
w. Beck has been gathering samples
of the various clays and shales in and
around lola, and last week, with the
assistance of Mr.. H. b. Harmon, of
Bucyrus, o., an expert brick and tile
man, he built little kiln and made a
thorough test of the materials collect
ed. The result even exceeded expec-
tatiOns, making it clear beyond any
question that we have here exhaust
less and easily worked beds Of shale
that will make the very first grade of
building and vitrified brick and tile.
This is a matter ofgreatest impor-
lance, for it not only assures US of a
great labor-using industry, but it
promises us cAeap building material,
an absolute necessity to rapidly
growing town.
Several parties are now figuring on
putting in brick plant here, and we
hope within a short time to be able to
announce the conclusion of the negO-
tiatiOns.

THE HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Is Ushered In by Many Gay Entertain

AT C. C. AUsHERMAN's.

AT c. C. AUSHERMAN'S
Ever since the IOlian Club issued
their invitations the young men
around town have been in a continual
flutter of expectation and anticipation.
And when New Years day came
their widest expectations were more
than realized. Nearly all the time
from to 6 o'clock p. M. the young
ladies were kept busy receiving and
entertaining their friends. One of
the most elegant dinners that we
could describe was served to all the
callers. The house was Handsomely
and profusely decorated with the
club coIors, pink and light green, and
with evergreen and cotton. Each
guest found upon his plate a neat
buttOn-hele bouquet of the club cOlors
tied with a bow of ribbon, also the
club cOlors. 1t was one of the most
elegant occasions ever given in lola
the charming manner i'm which the
young ladies of the Iolian Club enter
tanned their guests setting standard
that will not be soon or easily
surpassed.
AT MISS GRACE ACERS'.
As announced in the REGISTER
last week, Miss Acers, Miss Evans
and Miss Mcdonald entertained their
friends on New Years day at the
always hOspitable home Of Miss
Acers. The most complimentary and
convincing thing we can say of the
occasion is that the young ladies are
all members of the Q. Q. c., and
everyone knows that this club never
does thing unless it does it right.
/ All who attended the reception agree
in reporting that they were entertain
ed royalty and never had better
time. But should any other kind OF
report reach us it would be hard to
believe for the Q. O. C.s are second
TO none when it comes to entertaining
