forever gone until pavements are put
in. 1t used to be that pleasure drives
could be found on any of the streets

get rest. Parties driving for pleas
ure have to go out of town,

and this week he uncorked Friday.

The DAILY REGISTER facetiously asked
all who believed that the Rolling mills were
going to LaHarpe to assemble at a certain
honr on certain day In the lola park to
stand on their heads. lolas little two by
