pany's works one week ago before
died about o'clock Wednesday.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
Rev. Maclean officiating and the re-
mains were inferred in the lola GEM
etery
The news of Mr.. Woods death came
as surprise to many of his friends.
The magnificent vitality which he ex-
hibited in the week that has elapsed
since he:was injured gave rise to hopes
that he would survive. 1t will be re-
membered that while trying to push a
belt off and stop a machine he was
pitched on his head to the brick floor,
eight feet below and did not fully re-
gain consciousness up to the time of
his death.
He was man in the prime of life,
! surrounded by grown children and
just reaching period in a busy life
time when he could have taken his
leisure and rested, supported by his
children. The Lanyon Zinc Company
asked for the privilege and was al
lowed to furnish a casket for the re-
mains and they purchased very
handsome one. The death of Mr..
Wood will be universally regretted
by all who knew him and by the many
lola people who We're strangers to
him.

Some Freak Bets.

Horton Leader; r.. II. Fox made a
freak election bet with John Fleming
last week. 1t was agreed between
them that in case of McKinley's cleo
tian, Fox would vote the Republican
ticket the next four years and would
support all its candidates on that tick
ct, and in case of Bryan's election
John Fleming would support the Dem
ocratic ticket and work for the good
of that party. Fox is radical Bryan
man and Fleming is the Cy Leland
Republican of Horton.
Horton Commercial; "Capt. Robt.
White and Miss Sue Sutton had a
novel wager on theelection. Both be-
ing members of the Christian church,
they did not care to bet, but made this
agreement; That in case of McKinley's s.
election she was to wheel Captain
White in wheelbarrow in the ratifi-
cation parade. Captain White agreed
to go to China in case of Bryan s
election. Miss Sutton insists on car
ryiDg out her part of the agreement.
1t is now up to Captain White. He
claims to be fixing the wheelbarrow. "
Greensburg Signal; Two young men
made the following wager: In case of
McKinley's election one of the young
men agreed not to speak word to
any female for space of two years.
If Bryan had been elected the other
was obligated by the terms of the wag-
er to talk for three minutes to each fe-
male that he might meet for the next
two years. If the fellow that lost the
bet keeps his word he is liable to
either go crazy or die OF lonesomeness
within the next two years, while if the
other young man had lost and had
undertaken to carry out the terms of
the bet he would in all probabilities
have had the face pounded off him
within month.

Thanksgiving in lola.
Editor REGISTER;

Editor REGISTER;
At the meeting Of the Ministerial
Association yesterday the Thanks
givin- proclamation was discussed
and mention was made of the fact that
this proclamation Of the President
especially asks the people of this great
nation to gather together in places of
worship and there render thanks to
God for all his mercies. This is the
primary and essential purpose Of the
day. 70 change it to a feast day
simply is to rob it Of its meaning.
The holy family gatherings that have
characterized the day grew out of the
sense of gratitude for family bless
ings.
We should not lose this sense of
gratitude by failing to give formal
expression of it in the manner propos-
ed by the proclamation. The procla-
nation calls for a day ofthanksgiving
and praise, not an afternoon 1t has
often occurred that business places
nave kept open I'LL noon, that is till
after the public exercises of thanks
giving are over. Would it not he bet
ter for the business houses if they can
not give the whole day, to at least
make provision to close during the
hours OF public worship The SER
vices this year in lola will be held in
~
promptly at 1880 a. IN. We therefore
request that all business Ihouses close
not later than 10 o'clock on that day
that all our people may shave an OPP
portunity to publicly thank God for
the blessings of the year
BY order OF the Ministerial AS
sociation.

Child Died of hamilton.

Coroner Teas returned Monday
from Moran where he Investigated the
affair of the death of the infant child
of Miss Kester, to which reference is
made on another page of this paper
His decision is that the child
died of inanition and that there
was nothing. criminal in its TAX
ing on. The investigation was made
on the request of the girls father,
who wished once and for all to put a
quietus on any rumor or insinuation
that there might have been something
crooked about it, owing to previous
circumstances and the arrival at Mo.
ran in the night. The whole affair is
distressing and Mr.. Kester was wise,
both in sitting any gossip and in re-
ceiving back to the protection of his
home the unfortunate mother Of the
child.

An ENJOYABLE ReceptiOn.

Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. j. A. Robinson was held one of
the swellest and most enjoyable re-
ceptions which have been given in
lola. The hostesses were Mrs. j. A
Robinson, Mrs. B. f. Robinson. Mrs.
Webster Green and Mrs. Fred Horton.
Themselves handsomely gowned and
surrounded by wealth ofchrysanthe-
NUNS and other lowering plants, the
ladies all afternoon received their
lady friends to henumber of two hun
dred or more.
A man can get no real news out of
such an event. One lady says there
was more handsome gowns at that re-
ception than at any social function
she ever witnessed in lola. So it was
necessarily interesting to all the
ladies. The house decorations were
fine and music was played softly by
an orchestra throughout the hours
that the guests were coming and GO
ing. Refreshments of the dainty and
delightful character which ladies
serve when their husbands are away
and they are not fearful of establish
ing a culinary precedent for them were
served.
All in all it was most delightful
gathering.

.A VERY CUNNING EPISODE.
With Double Barrels Loaded and
Cooked Citizen Started Rough
House Tuesday.

Charlie Sims was gathered in by the
police Tuesday afternoon for hunt
ing on the streets of lola. Nobody
appeared to complain and so he was
dismissed.
Those best posted on the affair have
made no statements. Sims had been
in an upstairs room on the north side
and had had falling out with his
companions. They only know what
about. He drew revolver and it was
promptly taken away from him. In
hot anger he left and bought double
barrelled shot gun and, with it loaded
and cooked, marched back to avenge
his wounded feelings.
On the north side walk he met Ralph
Mcdowell and covered him with the
gun. Mcdowell says he tried to dis
suade Sims from this evident purpose
of making game of somebody, but
Sims would not talk, simply told Nc
DOwell to march Iniun file, single coll
umn, face forward ahead of him. Nc
Dowell walked. Theycame to a stair
way. "Turn in, called Sims, and
Me turned. Up stairs they marched
against a closed door. "Open the
door" was the order and Mcdowell
opened it and stepped aside. Guns
galore came through the opening and
fusillade deemed imminent. Those
in the room grabbed the barrels of
the shots gun and with their shorter
weapons beat the forlorn invading
hope over the head and then kicked
him down stairs. 1t was a rough
house of the first water.
And yet-and yet--in police court
there was not a solitary soul to make
complaint, to object to a general
armament. ~ wonder why, ! wonder
Why" sang the little minstrel girl
once in lola, and she ought to have
been in lola that day.

with the sincerest of good wishes and

Miss Bennie Post, the bride, is one

II is useless to say that she is deserved

of person. Everybody knows her and

these reasons during her whole life
