Bronson Record is well known here, |
having clerked in store here for some |
time. The Record says Frank Kane
came home from Oklahoma City, Okla |
homa, Sunday evening. He fell from
ladder while decorating window IN |
the store where he has been working |
and was badly shaken up but not seri-
ously injured and he came home to
stay until he RECEIVERS IRON the fall.
In a certain lola kitchen yesterday
was scene that would have made fun |
for the whole town could they have !
seen it. A lady was making frosting
which had to be stirred continually, |
A big, six-footer OF "A man was work
ing about the house and il was de-
sired to use the telephone. The lady
asked the man to watch the frosting
while she telephoned and he took the
spoon in his big gloved hand and
stirred the frostiDg while she tele-
phoned.
w. +. Creighton, councilman from
the fourth ward, arrived home the
other night i'll from Anadarko, in the
new country. He suffered from cbills
and mountain fever, but is rapidly
recovering here. He says Anadarko
is growing like mushroom and al
ready has more business houses than
| lola, but they are frames. Brick
work will soon begin. The town sup
ports forty saloons, but aside from
that he likes the climate and expects
TO return.

Here is q iree-irom-envN and iuuo-
cent-Oi.malice item from the Elsmore
Enterprise that will put an added star
IN brother Docker's halo: "The REG.
ISTER shows by figures that on Nov.
20th the factories of Lola paid their
, workmen over S45. 0OO 90: and this
happens on the 9th and 10Th of every
month. And ten years ago lola was
e the sleepiest town in Kansas and II
3 strangerthere was eyed" by everyone
, in the place Today it is the best
town of its size in the west and grow.
. ing AT a 200 minute gait. Natural
! gas has done it.
The government has issued statistics
OF the receipts of the postoiiices oi the
larger towns for the year ending june
. 20, 1901. And in the Kansas list lola
! ranks we'll. The gross receipts her,
4 were Sll ,020.SS, and the net revenu,
e 81 ,245 20. Only eighteen towns show
larger receipts, while only nine shov
larger net revenue. Which would
seem to indicate that Uncle Sam is
not spending as much money for tht
> benefit he receives here as he does
elsewhere. But, of course the free de
livery in town changed that. Ant
. the three mail routes will increaseItht
$ business lot more.

good town lola is for railroads
