Does anybody know whether or not
lola is going to celebrate the Fourth
of July? Last year the band took
hold of it but they got enough to last
them for several years and will not
fool with it this year. Other towns

advertising matter out and if lola is
going TO do anything she should get
in line at once.

The Salvation Army needs little
help and it ought to have it. For the
hot Summer months their hall is too
uncomfortably warm for their regular

Northrup lots on the north side of the
square and have secured cost price on
tent. They desire to secure enough
money to erect this tent and hold their
meetings in il and all who know of the
good unselfsh work for humanity
which the Army has done and is con
stantly doing in lola should not hesi-
tate about contributing to this worthy
cause.

another man, saying "he isn't good
locker, but in every other way he is
all right" The purchaser took the
horse home and found that he was

horse wasn't good locker, and he

appreciation of humor and an under
standing of the mysterious ways of
the English language, decided against
the buyer.

The pill dispensers are confident they
can wallop the divorce getters and the
divorce getters are equally as conf
dent and the important question will
probably never be settled until the two

has been set for the game as the pitch
ers want to get their arms in shape
and that may take until next summer.
Watch for the large posters announc-
ing the coming attraction.
