amining the books of the county treas
urer, for the past two weeks, has COM
pleted its investigation. They are now
having their report typewritten and it

most thorough investigation and the re-
port will be one OF the most complete
rendered for some years.
The Campbell Brothers circus came
to town last Thursday. Also came
great crowd of people to attend the show.
The afternoon performance drew the
greater part OF the people, but the even
ing performance was also we'll attended.
The show was good, the performers all
being well up the line in their acts. The
circus was notable for the lack of con-
fidence men, film -flammer and shell
game people. In fact Campbell Bros. do
not allow any such to follow with their
show, and the only disturbing element
in their whole outfit was the calliope.
Everybody was satisfied with the exhi-

The First Baptist church was dedicat-
ed last Sunday morning. A pleasing
and instructive program was rendered,
and there was large congregation pres
ent. The balance of the money needed
to pay for the church was subscribed,
and the building was dedicated free from
debt. The congregation, however, has
yet to purchase chairs, an organ and
some other furniture, and efforts are be-
ing made to procure the necessary
money for the purpose. A small number
only attended at the evening service, the
weather being very threatening. Rev.
Pope, secretary OF Baptist State organi-
zation, preached both morning and even
ing, as Rev. Stephenson, who was to oc-
cupy the pulpit, was prevented by sick
ness from attending.
An article on the last page OF this
weeks Register should be read by all
farmers. Several farmers here have in
formed US that since the creamery started
they have experimental in this line and
in the article, and that the amount re-
ceived for the. butter fat IN the milk is
clear profit. The creamery offers good
opportunity right at home to assist our
farmers in making this extra money, and
should be patronized and supported by
them. II all who are raising cattle
would take advantage of this opportuni-
ty it would mean thousands Of dollars
yearly saved to them and insure the
permanent location of this industry in
to be closed for lack Of patronage it will
be impossible to get it started here again
soon.
Last Saturday, morning, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Newman, who had just driven
INTO town from their home near Carlton,
attempted to cross the rail road track on
Main street. A freight tram was just
pulling into town from the east, and the
center. Mr.. and Mrs. Newman were
hurled out into the street, and Mr..
Newman was quite seriously injured.
Mrs. Newman was badly bruised. The
couple, who are quite old, were speedily
rendered assistance and taken to DR..
Hasty's office, where their injuries were
attended to. Both are now reported as
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected, but it will be some time before
they will be able to be around. The

having checked up to take water, and it
is undoubtedly due to this, that the ac
cident did not prove more serious. The
wagon, in which the couple were riding
was demolished but the horses were not
hurt.
The ball game at Granada on Sunday
between the Lamar and Granada mines
proved the leading attraction Of the
week. Fifty tickets were sold at the
depot besides the deadheads, blind bag
gage passengers and a number who drove
down. In all, about 10 Lamarites were
present at the game. A portion of the
band went along to furnish music for
the occasion. The crowd wss we'll taken
care Of by Granada and everything
passed off in n friendly and harmonious
manner. The game was badly inter
ferred with by the storm and was called
in the last half Of the 8th inning just as
the Lamar boys came in to bat. The
score, considering that the high wind
made it almost impossible to control the
ball, was good one, 16 to in favor of
the Lamar boys. Lamar has u first class
club at last. all the boys playing fast
