The young folks had q very nice party al
Mrs. Schmittner's, few evenings ago
selves hugely, and went home happy.
Our town is well supplied with medical gen.
| tlemen at presents; no less than three can be
found on Main street at any time, seeking
whom they may deyour. Business being very
duh, one of them placed skeleton upon his
sign, and now has com plete control of all the
practice of the place. ~
The Pilot Knob Iron Com pany has an order
for all the ore they can get out this year for
the Pittsburg market.
The furnace is doing very well at pres Mt
making ninteen tons per day.
Val. Effinger has very small boarder; not
as large as Tom Thumb. Val. thinks he will
make man yet Our town baker, Mr.. VIM.
Phillips also considers himself in luck.
Mr. Geo. Spitzniller, one of the old land
marks of Iron county, can be found at his post
at all hours of the day. George is a good
smith. and winds up a job at short notice.
Since writing the above item about our town
doctor, he informs your reporter that it was
all a mistake. and that some person unknown
to him placed a skeleton of a deer upon his
sign, which he knocked down with broom.
Mr.. Jack Tierney, r. R. agent, who has been
sick for some time. has aga ain returned to his
old stand at the new depot.
Mr.. Aug. Reke, of the Halfway House, has
been bunting his little poodle dog for some
days, but It is SO small he cannot fudit. August

The Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob base ball
clubs had their first game yesterday. The
Mountain Toys were badly beaten-9 to 81.
The fishing party that took a trip to the st.
Francois river, returned with the usual luck
no fish. They claim to have caught quite a
number; but say that while they were at a
spring, short distance from the wagon, ia king
ing some refreshments, the horse ate them up.

From Ironton to Iron Mountain it is six
miles, and from Iron Mountain to Pennington
it is Is miles by the sign-post aud the st.
Francois county gravel road. We went to
Harrington via. Iron Observation-Disclosures 81
miles. 1t might be more or it might be less.
We know we would have been very well salts
fled III Iron Mountain had been Pennington
as after you leave l. NJ. and strike the gravel
| road with jolt a-te-jolt and bump-a-ta-
bump, it is positively awful. The only re-
deeming quality possessed by this whole road,
is that delicious stretch of road known as
sycamore Avenue" By having that in your
"mnd's eye" you may make pleasant trip.
You may! We didn't. II some one else had
| not remarked that this gravel road was all
| rocks" we would have done SO; as it has been
| said, and | surely see no reason for a denial, l
will let it slip-and away we go, and after SO
long time we reach Sycamore Avenue
This Is called by that name because on either
side Of the road, for distance of about half a
mile, it is lined by tall, slick. slim, sler der'
sye amores, whose branches spread out at the
top and meet over the center of the road, and
at this season of the year, when Nature has
clothed all In her garb of green, it makes a
Sycamore Avenue short distance behind, we
see the whitewashed fences of the Fair
Grounds and the pavilion in which we be-
lleve the noble Ironton Cornet Band were
seated last fair time, trying to blow what lit
tie brains they had through the bells of their
instruments. s'Noble' band, did say? Why,
Bishop was the only ''Noble' boy in the crowd,
| and he wouldn't be such If it weren't for his
name. And-Oh, yes; did you notice, on the
''5ig day." Scoville and s'Nobe" throwing
kisses at those St Joe girls. And Scoville a
married man, too! And ''Nobe'' pretty near
being one!

be little larger or it may be great deal
smaller, from all l know-as seen when

could attend to- in keeping the dust from
my optics. Everywhere 1 went / heard of
some depreciation that had been COM
mitted by the ''band boys" Messrs. Scovile
and Schultz were always leaders; but FATTY"
would try to hide his little self behind Scovil.e
always. He's an awful blow, is Fatty" The
only things he could get away with would be
three or four kegs of nails a day.
We saw house at Farmiugton-said to be the
Courthouse; we don't believe it-with posts
all around the sidewalk, that had stood the
wear and tear of years, and had to be tied
up with chains to hold them up. The house
itself looked as though chains etc, to hold 1t
up would no. be misplaced. If the house was
worth 1t, coat of paint would improve its
looks immensely. We have no objections to
Farmington-if we had we would tear it down
so we won't hurt any of its good citizens in
this item; but, rather, leave 1t sleep the sleep
the righteous only can enjoy.

we give him his say. We think. however. in sew
eral instances, he is perhaps more severe than
just That there was a good deal OF bad bust
ness done in connection with the big Govern
ment contracts of 1875, is too true to be
pleasant to the minds of US all who desire the
utilization of the wealth contained in the
Granite Quarries, but We think the number
engaged in the peculations of that period was
smaller than our corresponding believes.
Two or three bad men will sometimes faint a
whole neighboriood, and our correspondent
assertion that all who went into the big con-
tracts came out with loss of integrity is too
comprehensive. But his opinions and ours
are not bound to agree, his statements are
his own. and the readers OF the REGISTER be-
ing all men Of intelligence, will read with cor
rect discrimination.

| send you few items from our little town.
| hope you will give them space in your paper.
In the first place will say that health is
good, and that crops and green stuff looks
well since our last rain.
/ met our old friend Norwine some time age
in our town. He looks well. That's right,
John: beware of strong drink.
Uncle Dick keeps away from the saloons
now, and his sheep-dog viii not get any more
cans tied to his tail.
Thomas P. Fitz and family and ssUncle
Isaac'' left for St. Louis yesterday. Enjoy
yourself, Tom; but keep ''Uncle Isaac" out OF
the ditch, and see that he gets all the green
stuff he wants. Be careful about the change
of diet, though, from mush and milk to green
stuff; for it may have different effect ON him
to what it did ON ''Gunboat.n
"Uncle Isaac" made a trip to Annapolis
last week, and came back riding at an angle
OF 45 degrees in Al. Clarkson's buggy, and in
passing through our wide streets, ran over
one of our merchants feet, causing consider
able pain. That night Judge GARRISON came
along looking up places to put up county
Isaac'' and made him believe that he, (Isaac, y
with all his intellect, ought to own two mills.
So, early next morning, 'Isaac'' bantered the
proprietors of our mill company, one of whom
became insulted, and 'Uncle Isaac'' left, as
he came near losing his teeth. 'iUncle Isaac''
put on his little hog back one of Allcock's
plasters, and it began to itch SO that he be-
gan to take it off, but the hair of his back
was so fastened to the plaster that tears and
bowls were not the only things that came from
him.
There was quite an excitement the other
day in our town. Several of us were gathered
together, and we saw hat coming down the
street. One of the crowd said it was DIR. Nc
Million, another that it was man from Wayne
county, and another that it was DR.. Clarkson.
One of our company lifted up the hat. and, to
our astonishment, we found under it the smil-
ing little face and head of DR.. David Clark
son.
Steve has just returned from st. Louis. look
ing worsted. He must have got too much of
of the substantiais OF life, and am sorry he
was not able to buy more goods.
b. Shepherd, Esq. was in town every night
last week. From his talk and actions one
would think that he was lodging the county
authorities.
What has become of the Colonel. He was
not at. court. He surely must have been
afraid to cross that county bridge over Stout's
creek.
Mr.. Editor, how is our old friend that set
the rabbit soup before the candidate? 1 won
der ii he doesn't need little horse-radsh!
'.Gulliver' must have been drunk when he
passed through our town, or he would not
have seen the hog-pens. as they are in the
first trip from home.
''Gunboat" has been on the docks; but will
be in running-Order soon.

| Messrs. Woliey and Waldron, of Chicago

Clarkson d Omahundro are doing good

I. P. Fitz, of the Vulcan Mills, is also max
ing large quantity of lumber. So there is
no excuse for idleness now. Every man, or

nor has he been heard of since he left; but we

\ We have found out who tied the can to the
dogs tail, which caused SO much excitement
in our town last week. OF course We will not
call names; for Buck is a good fellow, and is
sorry for It; and lie has been trying to make

Messrs. Warning and Butts are talking of
building a fine drugstore on the corner of
Main and Billings streets.
stGunboat" denies saying that the Virgin
fans are under par In the West. But he does
wish they didn't drink so hard.
G. II. Collins returned from st. Louis last
Thursday, with a nice assortment of goods.
