On our eighth page to-day we publish the
full report of the proceedings before Judge

which Mr.. Hitchcock was made permanent

IT'S the coolest weather we ever expert
enced in August-being more like that
usually seen late In September or October
than days when Sirius Is supposed to pre-
dominate. The dews are very heavy, and he
who would avoid malarious infection should
be careful how he braves the early morn,
the hot midday and the dewy eve. Expos
ure to the three combined would bile the
liver Of cigar sign.
Last Saturday afternoon Thos. johnson,
while cutting hay with two-horse mower
in DR.. Farrar's field on Stout's creek, ran in
to a bumblebees' nest. The horses could
not abide the stings of the inmates, whose
home they had uneonsciously harried, and
SO got away on the double-quick, breaking
the machine SO badly that Tommy will not
be able to resume moving for several days.
Neither driver nor horses were injured.
DR.. w. C. Patton is able to be out again.
He has had severe siege, but with good at
tendance and nursing has pulled through.
Although the youngest physician in the VAL
ley, he has an extensive and rapidly increas-
ing practice. His skill is acknowledged by
all who have come under his care. II he re-
tains life and health for a few years, he will
become one of the noted doctors Of the State.
The writer speaks somewhat from expert
ence with him-but of this more anon.
Col. Hoxie and family, Col. Hayes, VIM.
81. Thomson, ESQ.,, and wife, DR.. T. r. Gould
ing and wife, went up to Iron Mountain
last Saturday, fishing. They had good luck,
the catch being large in weight and number.
Some bass weighing two and half and three
pounds were hooked. What with plenty of
ice-water, good dinner at the hotel, and
fine fishing, 1t was b red-letter day. Coils.
Hoxie and Hayes remained in Ironton until
Tuesday, when business recalled them to st.
Louis.
While the Prohibition meeting was in ses-
sion last Friday evening, light wagon be-
longing to Mr.. Nathan Vail, whose team was
hitched to the fence adjoining the church,
was entered by some rapscallion. and pack
age Of sugar, which had been purchased and
placed under one Of the seats, carried off.
The thief had sweet tooth in his mouth and
an ugly heart in his breast; for, not content
with his saccharinous purloining, he cut up
a whip belonging to Cyrus Russell, whose
buggy stood hard by.
We are negotiating with late New York
banks for one hundred thousand shares of
broken-down stock, and to each new sub
sent share of stock. IT'S true tits not very
valuable, but it is equally as good as the
average chrome, horseb0ok, photograph, pa
per collar, or what not, offered by contem-
poraries. Abel Survey has just dropped in
to our office and cheered our dropping hearts
with full weeks subscription. He carries
with him $500 stock and the EDITORS thanks.
Ed. L. Brannan, advance agent of Cooper,
Jackson & Co.'s Circus, was In Ironton last
Thursday and Friday, and of course called
In to see the REGISTER. He is little gen.
tleman, wide-awake and full of business.
From here he went to Fredericktown; then
to Marquand; then to Marble Hill; and at
this time is probably in Cape Girardeau.
The course of the show from that point will
be southwark. Mr.. BPS head 10 level OIL one
particular point: he declared that the REG
lister job department is the largest and best
he has seen in the interior of the State.
There has been q call for a prohibition
meeting at Ironton, as the readers OF the
REGISTER have seen. The Republicans will
also meet, we don't know whether with the
Prohibitionists are not. But it is safe to say
that there will be fusion ticket, as far as
county officers are concerned. Democrats
who are Democrats will not take part with
such move, for that would be to surrender
to the Republicans, but any action they may
take should be inside the party, or fndepend-
emily. But, fusion or independent, or both,
Iron county is solid for the Democracy
National, State, and County Tickets.
The first show of the season and the last
one. cooper, Jackson & Co.'s grand interna-
tional allied shows-circus, museum and ma
nagerie will positively exhibit at Ironton on
Monday, August Is. Among the many at
fractions Of this monster show Is grand
balloon ascension that takes place every day
| from the show grounds free to all, and the
street parade Of magnifcence and splendoI
ut 10 O'Clock A. NJ. We have assurance that
| the circus performance Is first-clsss in every
respect. From all we can learn and by the
| reputation of the company In former years
1t is good show, and they announce one
ticket to admit one person to all. Renem'
Der the day, August Is.
Last Friday night the Prohibition elements
Of the Valley congregated in the Presbyte'
