disposing of them.
A shawl, pair of rubbers, and handker-
chief, await owners at DR.. Patton's room,
Academy of Music.
The base-ballists did not materiaize last
Saturday, and the list of ablc-bodied citizens
Is consequently not reduced.
Next Monday the public schools open.
The school-book, slate and slate pencil trade
will take on a sort of boom, as it We're.
The circus has come and gone-taking
with 1t some Of the surplus dollars iof our
daddies. It was fairly good show, and the
outfit a credit to the profession.
Old Dan Rice's speech in the evening was
not much OF a feather in the cap of the cir
Gus. 1t was a feature that might have been
omitted with credit to the management.
Jacob Rascher's little boy found the pock-
et-book for which q reward of SO was offer
ed in last weeks REGISTER. The pocket
book contained $40. The reward was
promptly paid.
To Mr.. Jno. n. Thompson, Of Marble
Creek, we return thanks for q present of
peaches-the finest ever grown in Iron coun
~, 80 far as we have seen. Eleven of them
weighed eight and one-half pounds.
II the citizen who owns that circus BILL
board will take It down at once, he will con-
fer great favor upon the rising generation.
To the Juvenile eye past-date circus poster
is IS desolate as the dead, dead dog-fennel
which streweth the ground after the vista
tion of the city mower.
We want to know IL this isn't free coun-
try? 1t appears to Us that the editor Of this
paper ought to be allowed to take a horse
back ride without being called 'a process
sion." We don't know what Capt. Zwart
thinks about 1t, but "them's our senti-
ments," and don't you forget It!
We suggest publicly, as we have in pri-
vate, that the School Board order iron rods
placed across the lower half of the windows
In the second story of the school building.
Children are not careful Of their persons, and
a tumble out of a window from the upper
rooms would result in loss Of life, or at least
of limb.
In the advertisement Of that great store,
in the REGISTER of the 23d inst, it was stat
ed in the heading that that was the "last
week of the Bonanza in Ironton." 1t should
have read "iast week of the Little Bonanza"
Bonanza now occupies larger building, on
the west side Of Main street, just opposite
the Little Bonanza building, and has opened
out on a larger scale than ever.
The Herdic which runs between 1ronton
and Arcadia and Pilot Knob-mak1ng regu-
lar trips, rs per time-card-is an institution
which the people of the Valley ought to en-
courage. 1t is a great convenience to every
body, and we feel sure will receive the pat
ronage of a discriminating public. Messrs'
welch & Kcsling deserve to succeed in their
venture, and, for the public good, we trust
they will.
Twenty five dollars worth Of work judi
ciously applied on the road leading across
from Arcadia by way of the Ringo place to
the Greason farm, and thence to lronton,
would make it one Of the prettiest'drives IN
the Valley. Can't the money be raised by
subscription? Every dollar thus spent Will
be returned in ten-fold profit through the in
crease of summer-visitors as the Valley Is
made more attractive to them.
A writer to the West Plains tMo.) Gazette
bewails the fact that the products OF that
part of the country go to Kansas City for a
market and that merchandise for West
Plains goes to Kansas City. West Plains is
now, BY railway, s53 miles from St. Louis;
but with a railroad to Salem, or to some
point near Ironton, the distance would be
shortened to Isl miles, more than one-haif
the present distance. Then the trade would
come to St. Louis.-St. Louis Repa6t'cdn.
Mr.. Begley, Road Overseer, objects to that
mart Of the Granite Quarry article taken
from the Post Dispatch and republished In
this paper last week, animadverting upon the
condition of;the roads leading to Graniteviiie.
A citizen who saw the party driving out from
the Quarry says their condition was such
that they couldn't tell a tree from boulder,
or the road from the creek bed. Under all
the conditions, we think our old friend John
can rest we'll satisfied that the report was no
worse: for, in eiao ueritds does not appiy to
all things at all times.
