Judge Smith sat upon the reporter
in the matter of q recent effort of the
county commissioners in which it
was stated that he was requested to
"clean up his room and destroy old
papers" As matter of fact the
room referred to is q room back of
the Judges Office and the request of
the commissioners casts no reflection
upon his honor's housewifely abili-
ties. The cleanup order is merely
an annual formality to get rid of old
useless documents.
The announcement from Mrs. f. +.
Thayer that her daughter, Olive
Francis, is to be married June %, at
the family home in Lincoln, Neb., to
Charles q. Chandler, will be read
with interest by great many lola
and Allen county people. Miss Olive
grew up in lola and her beauty of
person and character and charm of
manner made friends of all who knew
her The REGISTER assures her Of
the best wishes of all the friends in
the old home and heartily congratu-
lates the fortunate young man who is
to be her husband.
A. H. Patter. with F.. G. Atkins a.
Co., indianapolis, Ind, writes: II
have never before given testimonial
in my life. But / will say that for
| three years we have never been with
out Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the heuse and
my wife would as soon think of being
without flour as IA bottle of this rem
edy in the summer season. We have
.ried it with all three of our children
and it has never failed to cure-not
simply stop pain but cure absolutely.
1t is all right and anyone who tries it
will find it so. For sale by Campbell

X. {. JOuruaE One of the lola re-
cruits goes to war pretty well supplied
with cash and articles of comfort
His name is DR.. Chastain, and he APP
pears to have been something of u
social favorite. When he announced
"a few weeks ago that he intended to
enlist his friends considered it bluff
and commenced TO lay wagers with
him that he would not go. He took
all of the bets, among them being one
for tailor made uniform, and then
won them by joining when the re-
cruiting officer arrived in town. The
REGISTER says he was very busy col
Letting bets before he left, and that
he made great cleanup.

w. II. Everson, the new band lead
err, has succeeded during his short
stay here in arousing considerable
enthusiasm among the band boys.
They believe in his ability as Il lead
er and are getting into shape to do
some good hard work. A paper has
been circulated more or less general
ly for monthly subscriptions to pay
the bands expenses and if you have
not already been seen you will doubt
less be given an opportunity to help
support the band. The boys do not
ask much and get nothing for them
selves, and they deserve all the en-.
enlargement and good words posi-
BILE. A weekly concert in the park
will testify their appreciation of the
citizens generosity.
Capital A few days ago the Capt..
tai stated that "Allen county made Il
gain in population of 1864 during the
past year, of which lola claims to
have contributed 1856" Charley
Scott reprinted it, and said that the
longer he looked at that word
"claims" the less he liked it. The
item got taken up by other papers,
and now Scott is threatening trouble
If the Objectionable word is not omit

of voice that lola has actually, right
now, 1856 more people than last year.
II he says so, 1t is so, and lola people
are entitled to swell up and look
