road IN his road district. The animal
belonged to poverty stricken mover.

weak to drag it off and he intended

prosperous newspaper in any town"
The editor of the REGISTER has re-
ceived an urgent invitation from Con-
gresham Dick, chairman of the Ohio

the city on East street main i'm Harry

The family were sitting out in the yard
when the children found gun which
had been carelessly left lying on a
sofa indoors. They began playing
with it and twas discharged, the load
striking the Buford boy and instantly

lola real estate came to life again
last week. During the hot weather,
as is always the case, everything
dragged, but with the coming OF cool
weather, the season when people move
about, the attraction of town that is
independent of drouths has begun to
work. One man made prices on three
pieces OF property Saturday, two more
today and sold one house today. The
drouth is going to benefit lola by driv-
ing good people away from towns that
have suffered.
