The Lamar register., 1901-10-23

Gould is also enjoying visit from her
mother, Mrs. j. G. Kalb, Of Canton,
Kansas.
There were two parties last Saturday
evening. One at the residence OF Mr..
and Mrs. Garvin, where the young folks
had surprise on Miss Leonore, and the
other at Mr.. and Mrs. Kizer's, where
another surprise was executed upon
Miss Hilda Brown.
The series OF sermons, "Portraits from
the Old Testament" which is being
given by Rev. Knucky at the Methodist
church, is very instructive and enter
tertaining. These sermons are attract
ing much attention. The sixth OF the
series will be given next Sunday morn
ing.
A quiet wedding at the home OF Rev.
Clay L. Runyon on last Monday after
noon united Walter A. Harden and Miss
Mary Purinton in marriage, Rev. Run
ion performed the ceremony. Both OF
the happy young people are residents Of
Lamar and they will make their home
here. The Register extends congratu-
lations.
The band boys gave their usual con-
cert last Saturday night and it was quite
generally remarked that they were i'm
proving very much. They play better
even than during the summer and show
that they are doing good work in prac-
tice. Their concert will come of soon
and the citizens should give them a
generous patronage.
1t looked like old times to see j. A.
Rummel. the we'll known drummer, here
one day last week. He was always a
welcome visitor here, but for the past
two or three years, he has been employ
ed sin the house" and his present trip
was as substitute for the regular man,
who is on the sick list. All the boys
were glad to see Rummel.
For the past week, the telephone SER
vice has been shut down, and people
have found out what it means to be
without this convenience. The shut
down, however, will soon be ended and
the new service will be in operation,
probably before another issue Of this pa
per. The new switch board is promised
to give the most efficient service.
Material is on the ground, for the
building of three new houses, on Seventh
street. between Elm and Oak streets.
These houses are all for the owners and
are not being built to rent. While there
seems to be great deal Of building 60
ing on, it is always being done by par
ties for their own use. Houses to rent
are 80 scarce, that when one wants a
home, it must be built.
Geo. w. Rieley is back again from
Geneseo, Illinois, where he has spent the
summer. Mr.. Rieley says there is no
place like Prowers county, and he still
has faith in the sheep feeding business
and will try his luck at it once more this
winter. This section Of the country
never loses it's good citizens. They leave
sometimes but it is not long until they
are back for no other part Of the country
can equal it.
M. ]. Ferrell. who came here several
weeks ago from Kansas we'll recommend
ed, and has been working up some ad-
vertising matter for business men here
which was to be published in this paper,
left suddenly the latter part Of last week.
We are informed that he forgot to pay
his board bill or to return sundry
amounts he had collected from some Of
our citizens. 1t will be we'll for other
towns IN the valley to look out for him,
as he is dead beat.
The Woman's club enjoyed the reun-
ion at Mrs. Gould's Wednesday, for its
first program meeting. New books were
reviewed, and the day was In charge OF
Mrs. Markham, who contributed graphic
sketches OF characters in "The Crisis"
Mrs. Gould reviewed "The Master Knot
of Human Fate, and Mrs. Jones the late
books OF Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Mrs.
Cooper spoke of Edward Everett Hale's
work. "Childhood in Literature" and the
question "Do you enjoy book written
in the first person?" brought out good
deal of comment. The club will meet
with Mrs. Hotel Oct. 80.
The registration is now a matter OF
much interest to old timers, who can
easily remember when it was hard to
register 500 voters in Prowers county
and impossible to get that many votes
cast. This year the five precincts west
of Clay creek have registered about 1900
votes and will materially increase these
