Before any body else in town had
got to stirring this morning Randolph
Washington arose and went out along
the north road to meet load of
watermelons, the odor of which came
to him on the morning breezes. 1t
was q great scoop.
lola lie going to look scrumptious on
the first of next month. Already the
merchants have arranged to display
over $50 Woodman axes and banners
and bunting with Woodmsn insignia
thereon in proportion. The decora-
tons are going to be on scale never

a JOY to the heart of the visitors.
There are few days left in which to
advertise the log rolling aud they
should be impr Oved. Envelopes
with the advertisement of the big day
on the back can now be had at this
office. The cost lie slight and you can
get them in any quantities desired.
Let every letter sent out Of town for
the next two weeks carry an ad. of
the big day.
1t is hard to believe, but many of
the young men around town once be-
loDged to the Sunday School and sent
their pennies to the heather. The
habit has chung to them. only they
now spend the dollars on the girls.
The result is about the same. The
money, saved little by little, is swal-
lowed up IN the great unknown and
never 50 much as a "thapke man"
comes back to tell the tale.
Ottawa Herald: H. A. Dunn has
secured the contract for furnishing
the new Pennsylvania House at lola
with carpets, lineoleum, curtains, etc.
The contract was secured through AL
Snow, of II. A. Dunn's dry goods
store, against competition with Chi
csgo. Kansas City and Topeka houses
1t is very large contract, embracing
the furnishing of the entire house.
1t takes about 1000 yards of the finest
body Brussels carpet, 200 square
yards of lineoeum and about 100
curtains.
The other day Frank Horville and
Frank Allison, two of Iola's chronic
practical jokers, put up JOB on Dr.
Fulton. The DOCTORS buggy was
standing out in front of the store and
Frenchy and his pard conceived the
brilliant idea of changing the wheels
They changed them all right and
when the job was finished to theiI
satisfaction DR.. Fulton stepped out
from behind the corner where he had
witnessed the whole proceeding
and they changed them back again
The doctor smoked and the other two
took it out in Tuning.
All the big smelters are preparing to
move to lola, hut the people of the town are
making no brag over it, Any other COM
munity would grasp the opportunity and
make the town boom. II is surprise that
lola gives Republican msjorities-K. c.
star
The fact that lola don't spread II
on thick Is because she has dead
sure winner and can afford to wait
1t is a whole lot better, as Kansat
towns have reason to know, to hav,
people arrive only as fast as there
places and jobs for them, than t.
have rush for few years and ther
have the busted "boomers" leave ant
carry away bad report of the town
lola is growing every day and sh'
now has before her the brightes
prospects yet. The smelters anC
other factories are coming her way
and as fast as they come the peopl,
required to operate them come
There has never been any desire o
an old time Kansas "boom" here anC
there has neen and will be none
lola is worth watching "alle samee.
