it. Please remember ME to all my old

'Uncle Isaac" believes that Tom Diggs,
George Schultz's colored adjunct, has ''con-
jured" him; that his limbs have refused to
perform their accustomed duty because OF a
diabolical compound of snakes teeth, toads'
tongues, lizards livers and spiders brains
which, he alleges, Tom has mixed up and
placed across his path. Henry Caldwell, it
is said, also thinks he has been bewitched by
Tom.

Two little boys at Belleview got upon the
old family horse, the other day, and went on
the hills in search of some cows. They
missed the objects of their search, and also
lost their way. For awhile they did not
know what to do, when they were struck by
the happy thought--worthy Of much older
and wiser heads-that, if the old horse was
turned loose, he would pilot them home.
The experiment was tried, and the boys were
soon out of the woods and upon familiar
ground.

Four additional announcements are made
this week: those of Messrs. T. G. Foley, of
Belleview, and Charles Hart, Of Annapolis,
for Representative; A. w. Holloman, for
County Justice ut large, and Jos. G. Clark
son, for County Justice for the southern dis
trict. Mr.. Foley Is a graduate of the State
University, is an excellent man, full Of ener-
gy and ambition, and has, by good business
tact, accumulated considerable means. II
elected he will serve the people with honor
Judge Hart is well known as a business man
of unimpeachable integrity, has had some
experience in public life, and would, If
chosen, represent his constituents faithfully
and well. A. W. Holloman, Esq, has, like
his competitor, Judge J. W. Hancock, been
a resident of Iron county ever since its for
nation; both gentlemen are too well known
to need commentator from us, and either OF
them would take good care of the county's
interests. James G. Clarkson and David II.
Palmer are candidates for denomination to
the positions held by them on the County
Bench. They are both good and true men,
and the people could select no better ma
,eral.

The Iron Mountain correspondent Of the
Pennington Times writes: "We had the
pleasure of attending two public school ex-
hibitionS, one given by Prof. f. c. Miller ut
Pilot Knob, and the other by Prof. r. M.
Hunter at Middebrook. These entertain
ments were successes In all their appoint
nlents. We are glad to see such enthusiasm
manifested in, the. cause of public education
in our midst. Surely we are living in an age
of progress, and the teachers in Southeast
Missouri are fully up with the times"

4 NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-The
family of J. II. Adams, Postmaster of Edith
burgh, in this county, had narrow escape
from death by lightning during the storm OF
SATURDAY. week. The storm III that section
was terrific, and while the family We're gath

struck and demolished the chimney, and,
entering the room, gave severe shock to all
the persons present. Mr.. Adams was
knocked scnseless, and his little son Quincy,
who happened to be standing near the fire.
place at the time, was almost buried under
SCOT and ashes. 1t is certainly wonderful
that no one of the family was killed.

The ice-cream festival given by the Baptist
ladies at the Academy of Music on Thursday
evening was not rs well patronized rs its
merits deserved. The fact is, Ironton needs

other goods things offered at public gather

the evening Mrs. w. w. Nall favored the
company with music on the piano, accompa-

OPEN TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

While on a recent visit to the beau
tiful little city of Neosho Falls, Kan
sas, we inspected the fine grounds of
this association, decked in living
green, with natural growth of large
forest-trees, and cooled by sparkling
springs of water, clear and pure as
crystal, and set with grass that makes
it soft of tread as velvet carpet. The
grounds are located on the east side of
the Neosho river, and reached by an
iron bridge which spans it opposite
the grand entrance, which is nicely
arched, lettered with the word
"WelcOme." The grounds contain 40
acres; were purchased in 1879 at an
expense of two thousand dollars, but
additions and improvements, have been
made from year to year until its valve
has crept up many times its original
cost. Stalls and pens for stock are
ample, convenient and well arranged.
Though this association is pre-eminent-
ly an exponent of the agricultural and
industrial interests Of southeastern
Kansas, still they throw the gates
open to the whole world and invite
them to make an exhibit and carry off
the prizes and blue ribbons if they can;
but after travelling over southeastern
Kansas and noting its prosperous con-
ditiOn, we feel safe in saying that they
need have no fear of being eXcelled
either in agricultural or industrial pro-
duction. Still they challenge the
whole world to compete with them.
They have a large and commodious
floral hall, 60X60 feet, built in the
shape of a maltese cross large agri-
cultural hall, 20X100 feet, and farm
product hall, with conveniences and
suitably furnished. The park is in
closed with a high board fence, and
the far-famed and celebrated race
course enclosed by suitable 4I-foot
fence. Wells at convenient distances,
supplied with pumps, make it very
acceptable quarters for those who de-
sire to camp on the grounds. Neither
has the press been overlooked; they
will be afforded accommodation,
and every avenue of information
thrown open. To the manufacturer,
agriculturist, merchant, stOck-grower,
inventor and producer, the premiums
are literally started, and are sufficient
ly large to not only induce, but justify
a mammoth exhibit and sharp compe-
tition. The annual meeting of this
association (of which the coming one
is the 9th) is always hailed with
pleasure and qualification, not alone
by the citizens of the NeoshO valley,
but the entire State, as well as the
adjoining ones.

+ Heretofore there has been q very
Friendly desire to see Capt. :. j..
Stewart, of Cottage Grove, come TO the
front as candidate for Representative.
Undoubtedly the most able and clear
headed farmer candidate possible. to
find; gentleman, and scholar. ut
has been many years since Cottage,
Grove has been honoresl with ii place
on the county ticket and that old reli-
able Republican township should be
remembered. He would secure q
practically solid vote in the rural dis
tricts of the lower part of the county,
and in the northern townships he would
run like the traditional scared wolf"
We have been waiting for the Uai0n
to bring out Capt. Stewart, but as Me
Elroy, seems rather slow we want to
urge the matter upon him. 1t is the
Judgment of people up this way, al
most universally, in town and country,
that Stewart is the strongest man III
the county to make the race. What
do you say, Messrs. Farmers: You
want candidate; and here is one that
can successfully make the nomination
and election. Do you want some town
plug to beat him? The REGISTER
will aid to nominate and elect Captain
Stewart with all honorable means.
