Danta was in Norcatur last Friday consulting Dr. Dallal. Postmaster Muggins made a business trip toOberlin Monday afternoon. Uncla Jim and Aunt Mary Hughes were in Oberlin between trains Monday. Steve Arthur and his brother, whose goods have just arrived, were pleasant callers at this otlico Monday morning.

We were fortunate in having a good supply of extra papers last week. There has been brisk demand for extra copies. J. H. Mackey made a trip over in the vicinity of Edmondone day last week.

He says the grain over there does not look as well as it does here. The Memorial sermon by Reverend Groves last Sunday, was a magnificent address, and gave very general satisfaction to the large audience present. Johnney Sayles has his new auto, and now the roads are so muddy that they are not lit for riding. Well, we needed the mud, and the roads will dry up. Ethel Barlow and her pretty little neice, Flora May McCue, visited the Register force last Saturday.

These charming little ladies are always wel-co ne. Fred Eokhart came down from Oberlin Saturday evening. He is feeling very lonesome since sshool closed, and says he would like to be in school the year round. A good shower visited these parts Friday evening, andSaturday morning was too cold for comfort, but the rain was a good thing and we could ati'ord a lire on the strength of it. J.

L. Magers und wife were over from Devizes, trading Saturday and found time to make a pleasant call at this ollice. Mr. Magers says they did not have much rain over that way last week. A heavy frost last Sunday night killed beans, potatoes, and other tender vegetables.

Ice formed in many places and we greatly fear that the half dozen choke cherries that were left on our trees are all killed. Uncle Ed Railsback was in town Saturday, and wanting an excuse for his trip, he said the around was frozen so hard that he could not work in the field and he took advantage of the time to haul off some hogs. Prof, and Mrs. Earnest VanGundy came down from Oberlin Saturday evening and visited over Sunday with friends at Lyle. We were pleased to receive a call from them Monday morning while waiting for the train.

W. L. Stapp returned from Colorado Springs Tuesday. He was accompanied by his sister, Mrs. Dora Semke, of Superior, Nebraska, who had been with their parents.

She visited here one day and then returned to her home. Tina Andrews, First Vice President of the Epworth League, went to Kuno-na Tuesday to arrange with delegates from Oberlin, Jennings and Kanona for a joint session of the four Leagues at Kanona. Full particulars will be given later. Charles DeWolf, of Garnett, Kansas came in at noon Tuesday and spent a day or so visiting his cousin, William Hollister and family. Mr.

Hollister had not seen this cousin since he was eighteen years old and the two boys thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Miss Ethel Barlow became so homesick that she could stand it no longer, and Tuesday she started for Portland, Oregon, where she will remain until she gets homesick for Kansas andKan sas friends. She will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends here. The Advance society met with Mrs, D. Shepherd Thursday of last week.

The regular business of the society was transacted, after which ice cream and cake were served. Mrs. Shepherd proved herself an ideal entertainer and the society heartily enjoyed the afternoon spent in her home. Although Mrs. Shepherd is a comparative stranger here, yet she has made many friends.

Never bet with a preacher, or try to beat him at his own game. They have been having heavy rains over at Lyle during the past week. Mrs. Worth Reager was among our agreeable callers while we were at press last week. At the rate the old wooden awnings are coming down we will soon have a respectable looking business street.

Miss Flo Rogers was quite ill the last of the week and unable to fill her place in the People's Store Saturday. Miss Addie Railsback returned from Oberlin Friday evening, where she had been attending the teachers review course. Miss Laura Wickham and sister, Ruth, returned from Oberlin Friday evening, and drove over to their home at Lyle. John Mavity found time to run in and say hello, Tuesday, but since he took him a wife he is too busy to be sociable.

We are glad to sse John at any time. Thursday of last week George Pat-ton fell from a step ladder while working in Lorig's store at Oberlin. and broke a leg. The step ladder is almost as deadly as the wrath of Colonel Parker. K.

Heckman came over from Beaver City Thursday of last week and visited with his children and friends until the first of this week. Mr. Heckman does not look a day older than he did ten years ago. Henry Fisher cut his hand very severly with a saw ihe other day, severing an artery deep down in the flesh at the base of the thumb. Dr.

Kenney tied the severed artery and sowed up the wound, but it will be some time before he will be able to use his hand again. Ex-Sheriff Leaman and son, Walter, drove up to Norcatur Friday from their farm near Oberlin, the former on business and the latter to pitch ball for the high team of Oberlin, who played our school nine that day. Mr. Lea-man made this office a pleasant call while in town. A man in town received a barrel of beer and hauled it up to his house after night.

A burrel of beer is said to contain GO bottles In the morning when this man went for his first drink he found but ten bottles left. Some gentleman had beat him to it and taken 50 bottles. That the gentleman is kind hearted is proven by his leaving enough of the liquor to pay the express charges. One of our friends called Saturday and asked us to warn our readers against a gang of swindlers who are said to be operating in this country. He was caught for quite a sum on the "contract which turned out to be a note in the hands of an innocentpurehaser" scheme, and does not want to see his neighbors bitten by the same dog.

Don't sign any contra with strangf rs. As our friend said, the home people are the ones with whom to uea 1. Rush Coler made us one of his' much appreciated calls last Friday. He says he does not get his copy of the Register until Monday. There surely must be something wrong 1th the mail ser vice from Norton, us he gets his mail on route No.

4. The papers are almost inverlably mailed Thursday evening, thus giving them plenty of time to get to Norton Friday evening. There seems to be no good reason for the mail to be four or five days getting into the Colony. The fellow with a good strawberry patch will have the laugh on everybody else, if present prospects hold good. The early blossoms were killed, but the late blooms are filling nicely.

Tead Marks and Glen Geirhart drove down to Norcatur Friday to take part in the ball game between the Oberlin and Norcatur school teams. The boys admited they were a little tired after the foot race. N. A. Ketchum stopped olt at Norcatur Saturday noon to look after business here until freight time, when he went on to Oberlin to spend Sunday at home.

This office acknowledges a pleasant call. Jim Goodman is just finishing up a splendid barn. It is feet and built in the most substantial manner and with all the conveniences. Jim is one of the fellows that believes in Kansas and his belief is turning into money. County Normal begins Monday, -June 3.

A competent corps of instructors has been secured and the session will doubtless be a profitable one. The new County Superintendent seems to be taking hold of school affairs at the right end. A visit from Mr. and Mrs. Will Leichliter Saturday recalled the time twenty years ago when we were breaking prairie and picking cactus briers from our bare feet.

We used, in those times, to enjoy frequent visits with these people, but now we get to see them about once a year. Rev. J. R. Thompson and Uncle Charley Oare were among our pleasant callers Saturday.

They are pushing hard for the church at Reager. The application for charter was sent in to the Secretary of State Saturday and they will soon be duly incorporated under the laws of the State. A. P.
