The REGISTER has declined with
thanks the munificent offer of 80 cents
from a city furniture house to send
the names of fifty heads of lola fami-
lies to whom catalogues etc might be
sent. This paper believes the citizens
of lola ought to patronize the mer-
chants of lola, and it cannot be bribed
even for 80 cents, to lead any of them
into temptation to do any thing else
Mr.. Brown, supervisor of the gas
company, Says that he knows of a
dozen stoves in town just exactly ar
ranged to start such a fire as threaten
ed the Cottage Hotel Wednesday
night. 1t was a large range, sitting
fiat on the lloor and the heat gradually
charred the floor beneath the stove
until a blaze finally resulted. Such
ranges should all have heavy zines
under them.
f. S. Bennett says that Allen coun-
ty farm lands are gradually but surely
stiTeniug in value. He finds himself
constantly on the go showing immi-
grants from Iowa and Illinois, but
makes more sales in Neosho and Will
son counties. He found the country
about Thayer but little settled and has
had fine business locating people.
Today three cars of household goods
landed there and six more are en-
route, all sales made by Mr.. Benefits
firm.
Jim Burns, now visiting here. left
lola thirteen years ago and has never
been back since until his present visit.
He is now county clerk at Kingfisher,
Oklahoma. When he reached lola.
via the Pacific, he found a new depot
of brick in the place of the little wood
en- box that he remembered. And so
it is all over town. He says the Bap-
tist church, county jail and North
rup's bank are the only familiar spots
and he could easily have gotten lost
but for these land marks.
Register of Deeds Homer Fowler
has sold his handsome new home on
East street to G. NJ. Richards. Mr..
Fowler's family will move in sixty
days to his farm in Usage township
and Mr.. Richards will then take pos
session of his new home. Mr.. Fowler
expects, of course, to remain in lola
until his term of Office expires. lola
people will regret his departure, but
will be glad to get string on Charlie
Richards again and keep him home.
Mr.. Hugh Lambeth, from Blackwell
Okla, is,visiting his brother DR..
Lambeth, of Moran, and was in town
to-day. He says farming is one long
picnic down in his neighborhood. All
one does is to plant wheat crop in
good shapeland then sit around until
it is ripe, then another short seasonof
hustling. and that is all. There is
millionldollars in the county banks,
everyone has money, and quarter Sec
tions sell for from five to seven thou
sand dollars each.
A REGISTER reporter went through
part of the cement plant recently
and came out with his idea of the size
of the plant extended considerably.
1t is simply about the biggest thing
out of doors. 1t was his good fortune
to see one of the 300-horse power
Westinghouse engines started and the
huge pile moved off with less uproar
than toy engine would with "a key
and run by spring. 1t seems prob
able that in years to come all the sur
face of the earth right around the
factory will be one huge, solid cake of
cement, while over at the quarry there
promises to be an artificial lake of no
mean proportions.
The open meeting of the Carpenters
and Joiners Union held Monday was
largely attended, more than one hun
dred men being present, The princi-
pal address of the evening was made
by Chas. F. Scott, and there were
short and interesting talks by men,
bers of the various labor unions of
the town. All the speeches were most
moderate in tone, counseling against
strikes or any other violent measures,
and urging good workmanship and
good morals as the true test of merit.
So long as they remain under such
leadership as they now have the labor
unions of lola will deserve the COR
dial support of every citizen.
1t is years and years since lola
druggists have dealt in fiery liquor,
and so there was only amusement
aroused the other day when man
