want to see one just go out to the
brick yard any old time during the
day. Why, men nearly fight for
places in line out there. OF course it
Is a place where "hrst come. first
served is the motto and every driver
ia compelled to take his proper place
in line. The man who is late in the
morning is the one who suffers. The
demand il SO great that even the
members of the brick company who
are in need of the brick have begun
to kick and Mr.. White thenew mana
geris busy keeping the peace. j his
week drivers of wagons have actual
ly been taking the brick away before
they were sufficiently cooled To stand
rough handling and the story is ailoat
that one driver got in such hurry
that he put in load of brick so hot
that they burned "A hole i'm the bottom
of his wagon bed. All of which
means that the brick plant like every
thing else in lola must adopt the
policy Of expansion.

Postmaster Henderson received
notice last week from the Depart
ment at Washington that the BUSH
ness of his Office had increased sufii-
GENTLY during the past year to war.
rant the advancement of his salary
from $500 to $1,000.
Last year the gross receipts of the
office were S5OSl.9S. This year they
S7O72 IS, net gain of Sl9So. Nothing
could be better index of the growth
Of Iola's business than: this marked
increase in the post-oflice- receipts.
There il no "boom" about that. 1t
il all cold each and leaves no room
for cavil
In this connection /, may not be out
of place to remark that the office of
post. master is not the snap it is gen
orally supposed to be. During the
past year Mr.. Henderson's salary has
been $500, with an allowance of $50
for clerk hire, making $3.50 in all.
Out of this he has actually paid Sll0O
for clerk hire aud Sl20 for rent, leav-
ing him the prinrely sum of $500 for
his own services. As matter of
fact he has spent all this and more
for new fixtures, needed for the ac-
commodation of the increased mum Der
of patrons, so that all he has to show
for his own years work is some sec
ond hand lock boxes.
In some ways this great govern
ment of ours is very small. Take that
matter of rent, for example Prior to
paying SIS a month for its share of the
post office building. In April OF last
year the postmaster was notified that
the owners of the building would re-
quire S25 for the year beginning July
l. The Department at Washington
was promptly notified, but made 10
reply. When July arrived the post =
master sent in his receipt showing
that he had paid SIS for the months
rent. The Department promptly
charged the extra ten dollars back to
him, and has continued to do 80 every
month since then, in spite of his re-
peated protests.
AS a matter of fact the Government
of the United States is rich enough to
build and own its own post-otlices in
every county seat town in the land
and it ought to do it, AS long as it
does not do that it certainly ought
to pay its rent without haggling and
without charging it Sack against the
| postmaster.

In the contract with the CONNER

Mr.. Holmes told the REGISTER
that he hoped to have the engineers
here within three weeks to lay out

post-nlaste

Before lola went to bed last Thurs.
day familiar roar coming from the
east gave notice that another gas well
had been struck. The time was when
such a roar would have kept half the
town out of bed and sent them out to
see if it was really true. But that
time has long since past. Every body
went to bed as usual and there was
not visitor at the new well. Every
body knew it was all right.
This latest find is in Brooklyn Place
ali addition to the city of lola lying
east of the tOwnsite and south of the
main road running east. There are
thirty-one acres in the tract which
has been plated and will be placed
on the market in few days. There
are rumors that the purpose of the
owners of this well, as well as that in
Highland Place, is to provide the
purchasers of lots IN these two tracts
with free gas. But whether that is
true or not the lots will no doubt find
eager purchasers as they are very at
tractively located.
