\ few Sundays ago a couple of young men

The Ratification.

In response to the bills posted up last Sat-
county to meet at the court house in the ev-
ening of that day, to ratify the actions of the
National Convention at Chicago, about tive
! hundred of our citizen assembled. The
| Pilot Knob Cornet Band was ON hand and
| furnished excellent music for the occasion.
| The meeting was called TO order about 8
O'Clock, and on motion, Judge Franz Dinger
| was chosen chairman. Upon taking the
chair, the Judge made few appropriate
remarks as to the objection of meeting. Mr..
w. n. Edgar was then called upon, and re-
sponded in a short, pithy speech, in which
he reviewed the past records of the two par
ties, and depicted in strong truthful words
the characters and qualifications of the OPP
posing misunderstanding plainly that all
honest people of both parties should rally
round the standard bearers of the Democrat
ic party. At the close of his speech, Mr.. Ed
gar called for three cheers for Cleveland and
Hendricks; which were given with enthu-
siasm.
Mr. j. b. Walker was then called to the
stand. He reviewed the past lives of the re-
spective nominees, and gave the reasons for
the Democratic faith that in him is, ably and
cations of our candidates, and the broad
American doctrines contained in the plat
form.
The following resolution was then offered
and unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we the democracy of Iron
county, believing, as we do, that they are the
embodiment of all that is good, pure and
Democratic, do heartily endorse the nomi-
nation of Grover Cleveland of New York for
President, and Thos. A. Hendricks of Indi-
ana for Vice-President, by the National
Democratic Convention.
Upon motion, a vote of thanks was ten
dered the Pilot Knob Cornet Band for the
splendid music furnished by them.
Upon motion the meeting then adjourned.
1t had been the intention of the gentlemen
getting up the ratification to have Hon. Mar
tin L. Clardy, on hand to address the meet
ing, but owing to the fact that he had made
arrangements to speak in Manchester that
evening, it was impossible for him to be
present. Although no extra amount of
"hollering" was done, those present showed
by their quiet orderly bearing that they
would be as enthusiastic as anyone could
ask next November, when they would help
to roll up that sixty thousand Democratic
majority for which Missouri is so noted.
Owing TO misunderstanding, the gen.
tlemen who was hired to burn powder and
make the night hideous, did not show up,
and that part of the programme proved a
failure.

we were promised 4 Iult report OF the pic
mic at Iron Mountain on the 4th of July, but
for some unexplained reason our cores
pondent did not show up. We reproduce
from the Pennington Times of last week
enough of an excellent report of the pro-
ceedings to show that the celebration was
sway beyond the average:
The Pilot Knob cornet band arrived short
w after eight and opened the ball by giving
one of their choice pieces in front of the no.
tel. They then went to the Company's store
and played another piece, after which they
made sudden sally and landed in the grove
in their well equipped bald wagon drawn by
four sprightly ponies. followed by the usual
quota of small boss bent on having fun. An
other tune or two was played, when the
band proceeded to the hall, where the Odd
Fellows formed in line, and headed by the
band made grand parade through the prin-
cipal streets of the town. They returned to
the grove in a short time, where all received
congratulations upon the success OF the &C.
casion, and the magnifcence and splendor of
the turn out. All formality was now dis
pensed with and everybody took pleasure in
making others happy around him. When
ever occasion offered, some of the boys were
found always ready to offer their services to
make people happy and enjoy the day.
In the evening game OF base bali was
PLAYED between the Hogan Mountain boys
and the Iron Mountain club, resulting In
tie game, the score standing % to %. A Sec
oud game followed this, between the Pilot
Knob club and the "firanSers" of near Bis
marck. The game resulted in u victory for
the Changers.
When the Arcadia accommodation train
arrived a large delegation of the people left
for their homes In Pilot Knob, ironfon and

ably. Enough were left, howeyers TO contin-
ne the festivities until midnight, when the

LOCAL BREVITIES.

This edition begins the eighteenth year OF
the REGISTERS existence. Seventeen years
ago it first saw light, through the medium
of an old Washington hand-press, couple
of cases of long primer, and about as much
Job and display type as could be conven-
iently carried by one man-and not avery
stout one, either. To-day 1t boasts of a Fair
haven cylinder newspaper press, two of the
hest iobbers made-the "Pearl" and a Gold
ing Half Medfum-and the "Bess" paper
eutter. together with the finest news and job
office south Of st. Louis. Seventeen years
ago we averaged scarcely five hundred I'M
press,ons, Job work included a week. Dur
ing the week ending to-day we have taken
over twenty-eight thousand impressions!
This tells more than we could in column
az ssblow.n Our advertising patronage speaks
for itself. To generous and appreciative
public-willing to often overlook short COM
inps. and ready to take the will for the deed
I've return thanks, and trust to ever de-
serve its patronage.

"In the beginning Of March, 1884, the
ievees Of Louisiana were in better con-

years, yet the system proved inadequate
for efficient protection against overflow

our opinion, exactly. The leVees are
good enough when the water is low, or
not too high; but when the water gets
very high they are worse than no levees

is peculiarly sickenlng and stupefying to the
Tape Worm, which loosens it's hold of its vic

manner, entirely whole, with HEAD, and
