Teachers Institute.

Pursuant to previous announcement, the
fourteenth session of the Arcadia Valley
Teachers Association was held in the public
school building in Ironton, on Saturday,
April D, 1884.
The Association was called to order at 1880
O'Clock by the President, and was opened
with prayer by Rev. \. w. Wright. A song,
'sThe Home of the SOUL" was then sung by
the Association. The regular work of the
Institute was introduced by Mr.. f. c. Miller,
Offering a paper on the subject: "The Best
Kind of School," The essay covered n broad
field of thought, and many useful points were
brought out by the very interesting discus
sion which followed. In fact, the Whole of
the morning session WIS devoted to this one
topic. The Afternoon session was opened ut
two O'Clock, and the evening was given to
the discussion of a paper by II. c. Davis, on
the subject of "Crime and Education" Ii
the interest and enthusiasm manifested in
the discussion of this subject is any criterion
by which to judge OF the merits of this pa
per, the writer has ever reason to be proud.
Although the meeting was not SO largely at
tended as might be desired, one fact is en-
couragins, and that is it, it was attended by
those who feel Il deep interest In educational
work. The association adjourned at 4:30 P.
NJ. to meet ut the public school house In from
ton. on Saturday, May Sd, at which time ar
engagements will be made for the fortheom-
ing summer institute. J. B. SCOTT,

| Cool and cloudy.

a severe attack of the humps.
"Barkis'' and ssBily the KID went fishing
last week, but as usual, were unlucky, and
did not catch fish.
| Miss Bresline, of Ironton, who has been
visiting here for some time,. left for Pied

| This day the heavens and Saturn were to

Gle Dick, of Des Are.
Harry Hart, Esq, is in st. Louis on BUSH

''Uncle Isaac' must nave been very wicked
during his childhood, or ne would not advise
the Sunday Schools to give II vacation this
beautiful weather.
Mr.. and Mrs. X. A. Carkson and Miss An
ME left for Irondale this morning, to attend
the funeral of Arthur Bebee.
The REGISTER is gladly welcomed in our
little town, and all think it first -class pa
per.
Miss Minnie Miller, of Irondale, is visiting
her brother, G. G. Miller, of this place. We
hope she will remain here some time.

Of this district, April 1st, Mr.. J. S. Benson

Rev. j. C. Bergman, of Arcadia, spent
Sunday in our town, and conducted our re-
lfgious services.
John Peters, of Walnut Ridge, came up this
IN no biy,ur IrS;o

clement weather, has been postponed.
Poor ''Gip" fell from train yesterday,
and was so badly Injured he could not take
that "stroll" in the evening.
Uncle Dick says he captured two horse
thieves this morning; we saw nothing but
poor disconsoate woman.
An entertainment was given at the Annap
oils Hotel on the night of April Sd. Quite a
number of young people from this and adj
jacent towns attended, and passed the time
very pleasantly.
Mr.. T. W. WadIow, formerly railroad ageht
at this place, and for past eight months tel
egraph operator at Albert Lea, Mimi, re-
turned home yesterday, seemingly much i'm
proved in health an appearances.
Mr.. Geo. L. Cooley returned to our city
yesterday, and has resumed work in Mr..
Clarkson's store.
Claimie Miller will soon begin working as
telegraph operator for the railroad company.
"Uncie Isaac," while in our town last Sat
urday, frankly acknowledged that he had
never seen "Barkis" take drink. He also
said he could imbibe more spirits, without
haonmipsr than ap, ofhar man
because he is good church member and
Baptist; and the reason he took no smile
when he visited our town, was because he
had no finance. We believe all this.

tiers / suppose were, JosephiB. Walker, Esq,
and lest | should, in the haste and pressure
of legal duties, forget the matter, wish now,
to express my thanks to Mr.. Walker, for pro-
ducing the most thoughtful, discriminating,
and methodical description OF that now
world renowned wonder, which have ever
seen in print. Indeed, the article is n bril-
liant production, and is highly creditable to
Our young friend, the author. N this con-
nection, let me express the hope that,
Iron county possesses so many objects of in
forest worthy the pens of our able local writ
ers, Mr.. Walker and others who have the
leisure, will continue their worthy labors. 1t
must be a matter of graduation to every citi-
zen that Iron county, in its center, its west
end, and its south end, contains so many
really able writers. As an humble citizen
who feels just pride in the Republic OF Iron
county-and our whole Ozark region, wish
to ask that they continue to make known to
the world the grand and beautiful features of
our region. In the greatest possible haste, I
