Good Words, Well Deserved.

The Nevada Post, referring to the
removal of MIR. and Mrs. George f..
Nicholson to this place, gives its
parting blessing in the following nice
wav:
George +. Nicholson will move his
household goods to lola shortly to
make that place his home. Nevada
loses most excellent citizen thereby,
one of the clear headed, progressive
kind that are blessing to any town.
1t Is to be regretted that MIR. NchOl-
sons interests demand his residence
elsewhere than in Nevada, where his
worth as a man and citizen have en-.
deared him to all the people. 1t is
gratifying however to know that his
removal will in no way affect his
smelling interests here. The works
Will continue in operation as hereto
fore"
Mr.. Nicholson is the owner of the
zinc smelter half mile east of lola
which he Is constantly improving
and this morning he received three
cars of lumber which will be the be-
ginning of the third block of furnaces
which he will erect at once. The
REGISTER is very glad indeed to
welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholson to
lola.

Curbing and Paving.

The people owning residence
property on south Washington
avenue have let contracts for curbing
on both sides of the street for two
blocks south from Broadway, and
there is good probability that the
work will be extended on down the
street to the city limits. The proper
ty owners will take the twenty-five
feet allowed them by the city
ordinances, thus adding materially to
their front yards, and at the same
time reducing the width of the street
so as to make paving possible without
bankruptcy.
And as "a matter of fact there is con-
siderable talk of having the
street paved very soon, possibly
this summer, certainly not later than

next. Since the establishment of the
Cement factory and the location of
the two brick factories at the end, of
Washington avenue there is probably
more heavy traffic on that street than
any other in town, and during the
past spell of bad weather it was a
perfect quagmlre. 1t would certainly
add much to the value of the proper
ty adjoining it to have it paved, and
it is pleasant to know it is likely to
be done.

5000 Stolen

Mr.. McElhaney, the young man who
located here recently and decided to
engage in the roofing business, had
quite misfortune Monday. in the
loss of 5000. Mr.. McElhiney is erect
ing a buildidg for his business on
West street and as he pays out money
daily, carried roll OF bills about
with him and last night when he re-
tired at his room in the Lawrence
House put his vest, in the pocket of
which he had the money, under his
pillow. About midnight he awoke
and felt under his pillow and dis
covered that the vest and money were
gone. Next morning the vest was
found in the alley back of the hotel,
but who the thief was is of course

Con Null Goes Wading.

Con. Null started Monday to
drive to Humboldt and when he
reached the bridge over Elm creek
south of town, decided to drive
through the water to wash off his
buggy wheels. He didn't notice that
there was a considerable amount of
water under the bridge until he had
gone too far to turn back. He drove in.
The water came in the buggy, crept
up the sides, and swished joyously
around on the seat, Mr.. Null tried
to turn the horse and come back to this
shore and in the attempt one of the
traces came down and the buggy be-
came unmanageable. So all there
was to 90 was to get out and he
waded up to his shoulders in the
water and fixed that trace and then
came home to dry. And that ex.

the same half OF the sidewalk while

late and they had to face the music
of a number of passengers who were
also waiting for the train. They
were as happy as one although they
were yet two. They went to lola.
came back as one, bought nickle's
worth Of candy and went home. The
reporter has no reason whatever to
doubt but what they are still happy.
Clark Thomas, of he Moran Herald,
has a peculiar feeling in his bones
which he interprets to mean big
corn crop this year.
a wreck on the road held Katy
passenger train at Elsmore for some
time and the Enterprise says "Nlrs.
Sparks ted about twenty of the pas
sengers." What did the rest do; eat
the corn spilled in the wreck?
There is beautiful hree.cornered
fight on between the Moran, Bronson
and Elsmore papers as to where the
reported smallpox is. At every vote
taken two agree that the other has it
and one votes that two have it.
Twenty per cent OF the weddings in

only prints half. Reynolds is
