From Des Arc.

| Dies ARC, Me-, April :. 1884.
Ed. Register-A good many occurrences
have taken place here during the past week,
some Of interest and to be remembered, and
some of little interest.
| About the first thing of note was our
school meeting on Tuesday. c. II. Collins
in the chair, and j. NJ. Morris, secretary.
The first thing was to select one director to
serve three years, and j. M. Morris was
| elected. Next they voted four months
| school.
| Miss Weidman, of Pilot Knob, commenced
a subscription school here on the I'd inst.
Hope she will have good school. I learn
she is good teacher.
Mr.. Brewington's wife died Tuesday morn
ing, of measles. We have several cases of
that disease in town.
The weather has been very pleasant.
Farmers are making preparations for u crop,
sowing oats, etc. Everybody seems to be
| busy. Wheat is looking fine. Some of our
| stock men have turned their cattle out to
make their living on the grass.
T. p. Fitz is shipping good deal Of lum-
Der.
Tie business is still moving slowly.
c. H. Collins Is making preparations for
coaling wood.
Mrs. Lester O'Neal went to Piedmont Sat.
urday to visit her sister.
Miss Weidman left for Pilot Knob, to see
her mother, whom, we learn, is sick.
/ learn that f. r. Raney is going to start
in the saloon business here; think it is bad
step for Frank. His stock Of red-eye came
last week, but he has not opened yet. We
saw several men drinking and drunk in and
about the depot Sunday evening.
Revs. Hainesworth and McClintock. passed
up the road Saturday morning, to hold
Quarterly Meeting at Ozark.
"Uncle Isaac" says he was at Sunday
School. The superintendent tells me that he
takes very little interest in it. Think he is
more capable of advising how to take mod
crate drink or let it alone.
We learn that Willie Collins starts to-day
for California. He is quite young to take
such trip. Will is good boy, and we wish
him success.
AS we are writing, the school-bell rings.
I suppose Miss Weidman has returned.
I am in the habit of putting off this COM
munication till Monday morning, and it
rushes me to get it on paper, and do other
things that have to be attended to.

Very Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. Geo. v. Willing, of Manchester, Mich,
writes: "My wife has been almost helpless
for five years, 50 helpless that she could not
turn over in bed alone. She used two bot
ties of Electric Bitters, and is SO much i'm
proved, that she is now able to do her own
work"
Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed
for them. Hundreds of testimonials attest
their great curative powers. Only fifty cents
a bottle at p. II. Crisp's. 2

o, throw away that gum;
Chew It, we pray, no more.
For, like deceitful rum,
1t stings at length galore.
Why put your face agee,
And squander all your dimes,
o maiden fair to see
In ordinary times!
Your cheeks swelled out, and gums
At work all day and night,
Break Natures finer laws,
And make horrid sight.
0 who would want to kiss
A cheek put out of shape,
BY pellet hard, dear miss,
Like canister or grape?
And who the question pop,
To wad of poping-wax!
Did one, mayhap, you'd drop
1t down your dear thorax!
A solemn end to you'll
An undertaker's BILL
A broken heart!-Tolu,
To thee how much of ill!
Then throw away that gum!
And chew the stuff no more:
For, like jamaica rum,
1t has its risks galore!

Cape Girardeau last week voted unto itself
gas-works, and thinks it did big thing;
while here we have been using electric light
for months and months.
The old city council met last monday, and,
after transacting all necessary business, adj
journed sine die. The new council then took
possession of the affairs of the city, and will
no doubt "push her along" onward and up
ward into the regions Of fame and prosperity.
With profused regret we chronicle the de-
cease Of Mr.. j. w. Baldwin, late of the Her.
ald, on the night of Sunday, ID inst. He was
an estimable gentleman, and an honor to
the profession. Although his death was not
unexpected, it had been hoped that the ter
rible disease-consumption- not
prove so quickly fatal. The remains were
taken to Marble Hill for burial.
A part of the new lamps for the city will
be put into position this week. They are Of
the latest improved pattern, and are sure to
give much better satisfaction than the old.
When lighted in the evening, they can be
'sset' to burn Just rs long as desired, and at
the end of that time will extinguish them
selves. Capt. Byers procured them for the
city at price greatly reduced from the ordi-
nary charge.

one of the kindest and purest OF spirits-one
whose life was realization of the virtues
which attend the true Christian. She rests
in peace, and her Borrowing relatives and
friends will long cherish her memory.
Rev. j. Marlatt was married last week to
Miss Field of st. Louis, and the feminine
members of his old congregation here are
nightly in the notion Of churching him for
1t. What right did he have to marry outside
of the Valley anyway? 1--WE could say some
thing smart Of his going to other fields, etc.,
but we won't.) Yet, knowing the weakness
of the flesh in such matters, the REGISTER
forgives him, and trusts he may have long
life of marital happiness.

the love offered us by our Redeemer. The
decorations throughout showed the work OF
q considerable and Christ-loving people.
From the time the last peal of the bell sOnnd-
ed, until the benediction was pronouncedby
the minister, Rev. f. NJ. Pecke, the services
were attentively listened to and greatly APP
preciated by large congregation. The
Easter services concluded a series Of Holy
Week meetings, held every morning, and on
Good Friday from IL NJ. to O'Clock P. NJ:
the only instance of the kind ever known in
Ironton in this church. Rev. Pecke is a
jealous and indefatigable pastor, and to him
is mainly due the era of prosperity, which
now seems to have been inaugurated in st.
Paul's congregation.
EAsTER.-The ritual of the Catholic Church
during '.Holy Week" was fully carried out
in the Convent at Arcadia.
On Thursday called Maunday Thursday
(from the Latin ''maadatum est robis: 1. e.,
q command is given to you), there was High
Mass ut O'Clock. After Mass, the Blessed
Sacrament was carried in procession to the
Repository, in some of the library rooms,
and decorated with exquisite taste. On Fri
day, the ceremonies commemorative the
sufferings and crucifxion of our Lord were
most impressive. The lessons and tracts
contained those portions of Holy Scripture
predicting the passion.
The altar was Invested of all ornaments,
and a large image of the Crucified was plac-
ed in the aisle of the Chapel to remind all
present of the crucifxiOn.
Sunday being the feast the resurrection of
Christ, the ceremonies were appropriate to
mt all in mind of the great event. The al
fers were all beautifully decorated with
natural and artificial flowers, the latter al
most SURPRISING the former in loneliness.
The grand composition called "Exulted
M.ssn was sung, of which the ''Gloria" was
beautifully rendered.
Rev, L. C. wernert. the Pastor ofthe VAL
lev. delivered sermon IN which he demon
ssrated that the resurrection formed the
h.s;s of the Christian Doctrine.
Nv His resurrection, Christ proved that He
was truly the One He represented Himself
To be. the promised Messiah, true God and
true man. All were exho-ted to profit by
the lessons given US by Christ, viz: to follow
Him to Calvary, by willingly submitting to
the trials imposed upon us by God during
the short period of life, by being faithful to
HIM In observing His Commandments, and
and thus merit glorious resurrection.

Tired Of Supporting His Five Innocent
Children He Goes to the House and
Brains Them With an Ak.
He Then Returns to the Field and Re-
sumes Work as If Nothing Un-
usual Had Happened.

WAYNEsBoRO, GA, April l7.-Edward
DowSe, who is held in jail charged with
the murder of his five children, has con-
fessed his guilt. He states that his chill
dren kept accommodating upon him, while
his ability to support them diminished.
The children were, according to the GUS
tom among Southern field Hands locked
up in the cabin while the parents were at
work. At ten o'clock in the morn
Ing he felt an uncomfortable de-
sire to rid himself of his burden,
and pretending to his wife that he wanted
some necessary article in the cabin, he
mounted mule and went there. Open
ing the door he closed it behind him. He
attacked the youngest child with an axe
and killed it, Meantime the Others had
hold of him by the legs, beseeching him
to spare the child. Turning from his dead
victim he grasped two Others of the chill
dren, one in each hand and beat their
heads against each other until they be-
came unconscious. With the axe he
then killed them. The two remaining
children had sought refuge under the bed.
Reaching for them he killed them also,
and left the five dead bodies on the floor
Closing the door he returned to work,
giving no sign of the bloody work in
which he had been engaged. 1t was the
absence of an explanation of the tragedy
more than anything else which led to his
arrest. At first he stoutly denied al.
knowledge of the crime, 1t is believed
that his wife and sister, who have disap.
peared, are also guilty.

4 FALSE IMPRESSION.
General Grant is Friendly With Both
President Arthur and Mr.. Blaine.

NEW YORK, April l7.-General Grant
said to correspondent of the st Louis

that the paragraph copied in the Herald
OF Monday from 4 Washington letter aud

capital without returning Pre>i-
dent Arthur's call did him an in
Justice, as il was the evident intention of
the writer 10 convey the impression that
he General Grant and the President are
not on friendly terms, The fact is
continued the General, "that soon after
nv arrival President Arthur called on me
and stayed fully half an hour. | told
him at the time that would not be able
to return in person, because Of
the difficulty experienced through
my lameueSS in getting up

aud begged forgiveness. 1t was very al-
fcctionate and contained the words:
"When you read this | will be dead,
for am going straight down to the Mis-
sissippi River to drown myself"
Here Mrs Weber broke down complete
ly and the conversation was continued by
Mrs. Frederick Weber, who said:
81 find that Cora wrote clandestine let
tiers to young men and had them posted
by the day scholars. She was very wild
and very reckless, but she had good,
generous heart. She has never done
anything like this before, although her
conduct has given her parents much
trouble"
PITIFUL APPEAL.
Mr.. Weber said: 81 want you to put
notice in your paper asking Cora to
come back to her mother and me. Tell
her we will forgive everything, but for
Gods sake to return and we will go home
together. Everything shall be as she
wishes and we will forget the past. Oh,
if she only knew how we are suffering
know she would return! She was always
affectionate.
