Vick's Floral Guide.

This annual visitor is always welcome.
Printed on the best of paper, Astounding in
handsome illustrations, it certainly may
claim to rank as a sample Of the highest
typographical art. Its colored plates, three
in number, are perfect gems, and we are at
n loss to discover how this enterprising firm
can afford 10 lavish so much expense in
identifying publication for which they only
ask ten cents, whilst to each of their last
seasons customers they actually give it as n
Christmas present. AS its name indicates,
it is a "Guide" to the proper treatment and
culture of all kinds flowers and vegetables,
each description being accompanied by an
illustration of the particular plant or veget-
able referred to. We should advise all who
are interested in gardening, whether for the
pleasure obtained from raising flowers, or for
the more practical occupation of raising veg
etables, to send to James Wick, Rochester,
n. Y, for a copy of this most instructive
work. The publisher claims that "Vick's
Seeds are the best in the world" and we
have no doubt, ''the world' endorses the
claim.

Iron County Bible Society.

This Society held its annual meeting, In
| the Presbyterian Church, in Ironton, Feb.
| 18th, at P. NJ. In the absence of the Presi-
dent, DR.. Farrar called the meeting to order,
and announced the selection, 'Beautiful
Words of Life" After the singing, prayer
was offered by Thomas Callahan. DIR. Far
rar was appointed Chairman, and introduced
Judge Emerson,wh spoke on the Relations
of the Bible to Physical Science" Coplous
notes were made of the address, and when
time has been taken for digestion, it will be
examined, and the results submitted to Judge
Emerson. At present we are reporting the
proceedings of the Bible Society, and will
only notice the address as part of them. 1t
recognized the Bible as the source OF the
moral culture of the world, and not as a
system of physical science-that is, the
truth of God; and was we'll illustrated. The
address was soundly Biblical in its spirit, and
in literary point of view noble treat. 1t
was listened to until its last word, with the
rapt attention of an audience Of about $50,
having a very heavy percentage of the best
minds in the Valley. 1t is pity that eccle-
siastical preferment Is not open to Judge
Emerson. But before he can become mod
ern D. D. he must quit thinking. vote Of
thanks was rendered for the address.
The minutes Of the last annual meeting
were read, and also brief statement Of the
work done by the Society since its organiza-
ton. The showing was encouraging.
The Rev. Edwin Wright, Of St. Louis,
State Agent Of the Bible Society, made his
usual speech, telling how much money the
Society expended, and concluding with
dun, which, considering the speech and the
number of the audience, was responded to
by liberal contribution. 1t was amusing to
mark where the inimitable and unanswera-
BILE logic of Judge Emerson left the Rev.
gentleman.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Rev. A. W.
Wright; Vice-President, Judge Emerson;
Secretary, Mr.. ]. Markham; Treasurer, w.
G. Fairchild; Depository, S. G. Fairchild;
Executive Committee, DR.. g. W. Farrar, S.
C. Russell, w. Brown, F. c. Miller and Rev.
Jos. Marlatt.
The Society adjourned sine die.
Dismissed with the benediction by Rev.
Edwin Wright. L. G.

Historical" Absurdities.

Ed. Regtster-In your last issue read, as
/ always read with interest, the report of the
discussions Of the ''Clionian" historical club
in which it was stated that the study had
been on the character of Henry the VIII;
that it would be continued, and the query
propounded as to whether he was ''the rock
upon which the Episcopal Church was found
ed!" Welt If this is the present state OF
historical learning in Ironton, then the "Cli-
oman" has indeed a fine missionary field
and q formidable mission to perform.
Next, we may expect to hear that they are
upon the inquiry as to whether Pontius Pr
late and Constantine were not the "rocks"
on which the Christian religion is founded?
And SO the world moves-but which way?

"over the Continent" by Another

Ed. Register-I observe by the last issue
of your paper that correspondent, Mr.. ct.
c." (Thos. Calahan), has been going about
the country, not like a roaring lion exactly,
but roaring very much, however, seeking
whom he may praise or blame. In his wan
behring's he seems to seek an opportunity to
make very disagreeable and disrespectful
comparisons with the good people OF Gale
donna Ia more worthy and refined people
than whom cannot be found) and the Collie
giate Institute there established. Having
lived in the town, and having known her
good people and the school for twelve years,
l wish to correct, in the minds of your read
ers, the false impression given by the ram
bier. What could have induced him to
speak so unfavorably Of upper Belleyiew, l
can't imagine, unless, while there, he failed
to get his dinner or nights lodging; or, as is
probable, he desires to fatter the good peo.
pie Of lower Belleview by the comparison, in
the hope Of securing In the future some lit
tie preferment at their hands. His article
bristles with indignant thrusts at the college,
which Is most likely the outcropping Of q
| smouldering malice which he has been
thought to hold toward the very worthy
professors of that institution. The objection
to the poor fence is scarcely admissible in
this country. Besides, we can't always Judge
of schools by their outward appearance, no
more than we can Of men. How would ct.
c." like to be judged by his outward ap-
pearance? The college is becoming favora-
bly, known in the counties of the Southeast.
Last year, believe, there were about sixty
nonresident students, representing about
twenty different counties, besides large
home patronage, which bespeaks for the
school the confidence of the people, who are
familiar with it. SET. c." unjustly insinuates
against the theological status Of the organi-
cation which maintains the college, which is
no other than the Southern Methodist Church
of Southeast Missouri. The undersigned is
well acquainted with the people of that town
and knows that no more refined, enlightened
and Christian people can be found in this
| country. Respectfully,
A FORMER RESIDENT.

gard to the amount Of game here in carry
early days. He had seen sixty-five deer in
one drove, and believed he had seen five hun
bred turkeys in one flock. At least he had
seen enough of them at once to darken the
sky when they flew.
Recently, when he was too old to be left
alone, his faithful and loving wife, with
meekened face and calmly folded hands,
passed before him
''Into the land of the departed,
Into the silent land. -
In the course of nature, he must soon follow
her. May that Savior he SO long preached
be all sufficient for him. In his old age he
has q good home under the tender care of his
loving daughter, Mrs. Sarah Henderson.
The soil of that regoin cannot be excelled
in quality; but the masses of rock are large
and numerous, and fear that In some plac-
es good water is sometimes scarce. But
there IL good deal of thrift and enterprise
about there. Land is from S. to $40 per
acre.
On Monday, January 22d, started for
Ironton. I escaped all falls myself, but saw
some teams have ugly falls on the ice.
just on the other side of Cedar creek, I
passed gentleman and lady, evidently pro-
fessional tourists, who were enjoying rural
felicity beside blazing log. The lady was
of easy manners, and affable, and pleasantly
called my attention to the fact that the hick-
DRY pole carried to steady my steps was
longer than I was. Conceding that point
without debate, passed on, and threw all
sorrowful thoughts in regard to everything
into Cedar creek as I cooned over it; for
knew that when reached the top Of the hill
on this side, the day would break and the
shadows fee away.
After resting few minutes In the store
at Rev. Mr.. Whites, reached Mr.. Lash
ley's by noon, having made about fifteen
miles, and thence, by easy stages, came
home, tired in body, happy In mind, and
more than ever proud of Iron county.

We are requested to warn the public
through the columns Of the REGISTER of one
tCheeky john Edwards (coiored), who,
since last Spring was in the employment of
the st. Louis Ore & Steel Company. Ed
wards gained the confidence of many here by
pretending to quit his excessive drinking,
and attending Sabbath School. He was
made Treasurer Of the latter institution, and
now he departs to parts unknown with
about 81 Of the ehildren's money. ''He owes
of borrowed money and whisky bills con-
siderable BILL" He was last heard Of at
Walnut Ridge, where, we are Informed, he
beat two young men of this place cut of five
dollars, and then continued his journey
southwark. He also before leaving here,
passed worthless s. check On August Wag-
ner, clerk at the Knob Store for q watch. He
got the watch, but when August went to
draw the money he found that the check
had been paid, and is left without remedy.

Our County's Poor.

Ed. Register-Will you permit me, through
the columns of your excellent paper, to have
talk with the poor persons of Iron county.
/ mean those who are rightly entitled to help
from the financial crib of the county. The
regular term Of the County Court will be held
on the first Monday in March, 1888, when
there will be, as there always have and ever
will be, many applications from that class OF
people to the Court for help; and to insure
their success, and to assist the Court In q
speedy discharge Of its responsible duties,
would recommend to each applicant, before
presenting his or her claim, that they would
get three or four Of their tax-paying neigh
bors to recommend to the favorable consid-
sued, 1t would enable the Court to act
promptly and save precious time to the peo-
pie who are deemed poor under the statutes.
Aged, infirm, lame, blind, or sick persons
who are unable to support themselves, and
when there are no other persons required
by law and able to maintain them, shall be
deemed poor persons.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the poor always have
had and always will have the sympathy of
all Christian people. When our Savior was
here below, we find Him on the side of the
poor. In that memorable discourse on the
mount, In the 9Th chapter Of Matthew, after
he seated Himself, the first thing he taught
His disciples was: "Blessed are the poor in
spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"
The poverty there spoken of related to the
spirit, and not this worlds goods. The
word "poor" comes from the Greek, and
means to tremble or shrink with fear-(Dr.
Clark. Now, the poor person that applies
to the County Court for help, no doubt feels
fearful and doubtful III he or she is honesty
that the Court may not understand their
case, and that the application may fail.
Now under the construction Of the law, 1t
would seem that none Of those named above
would be poor persons when there are other
persons required by and law and able to
maintain them. That is, II . son be lame
and has q wellto- do father, 1t is the fathers
duty to keep him of the county; If brother
is blind and cannot see to work, and II he
have brother or sister, they should keep
and maintain him; and SO Of all the rest of
close relations. And 1t is q terrible thought
for father or mother to become dependent
upon the county. But to be poor is no dis
grace; and the law says the poor shall be
supported, and the County Court has to set
apart large fund every year to be expended
for the support of the poor, which comes out
Of the taxpayers of the county.
Yours truly, A. w. II.
